I spent a chunk of change getting an android tv box, wireless bluetooth controllers and paid apps to emulate. There is enough input lag to ruin the experience and I've tried every workaround including configuring my tv refresh rate, using different emulation engines, using a wired usb controller instead of bluetooth and various android hacks. For precise platformers like Mario it feels off. What I learned is that all emulators use different techniques to make games run well. Some are closer to the original (need a lot of CPU horsepower) and some take very aggressive tweaks (great on low power devices) to make it work.

Nintendo treats their catalog games with a lot of care.

Just because it's old and you can run it on a cheapo device doesn't devalue it and I think it's great that Nintendo is making cool retro stuff.
