N64 and earlier consoles emulate really well on smartphones. In terms of storage, those games are tiny, so you could probably fit Nintendo's entire library from the first Gameboy through the N64 on your phone if you wanted to.

Way higher quality than pretty much every mobile game, free, no micro transactions, no ads (assuming your emulator isn't shit).

If you want to game on your phone, this is the way.

Every console and handheld from N64 backwards is about 62.67 gigabytes. So definitely. If we add PlayStation 1, it jumps to 643 GB. So still possible, just more expensive.

Downside is that you would need a controller for usable input, and most people dont have a Bluetooth controller on them

They absolutely play better with a controller, but you'd be surprised how not-terrible the touch screen interface is after just a bit of getting used to it.

I break out Mario 64 or the two Zelda 64's occasionally and outside of just a few wonky parts (aiming the bow... ugh...) the play quality is alright on touch screen alone (+ binding one of the volume keys to Z).

I finished a lot of PSP games on PPSSPP with touch controls and it was absolutely decent
