I think if Nintendo released all of thier back catalogue at once they would still make a profit as it probably doesn't cost them that much to put them on in the first place. The problem is though would they make as much of a profit, if all the great games are up already the more average games (that might get bought if there was less to chose from) would be forgotten about very quickly in favour of that old classic.
So by releasing them over a prolonged period of time Nintendo would maximise their profit.
