Little BRO Rat
I don't know about kids, but I'm glad they're doing this. I've been using Vice as an emulator to play some of the better games C64 made. Granted there aren't a lot of games that I would replay now but games like Bard's Tale 1,2,3, Wasteland, Legacy of the ancients, Ghostbusters, Treasure Island, Moebius, Mail Order Monsters, Archon, Spy vs Spy, Autoduel, Swiss Family Robinson, Pirates and Below the Root are great even today. I hated the PC port of Bard's Tale and only play the C64 one.
Even with my love of these games, I know there is no chance that someone who didn't grow up on these games will find them enjoyable. I guess Ninetendo is counting on people like me to buy these to make a profit. It's an unusual thing to sell from a giant corp but hey Nintendo isn't known for going with the flow and it seems to work out for them. They snuck in innovation with the Wii when Sony and Microsoft were trying to outdo each other with graphics.
