NES: Of course it'll work.
SNES: It'll work.
GB: It's gonna work.
Virtual boy: Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh maybe.
N64: Definitely with zero slowdown.
PS1: Definitely with zero slowdown.
Xbox: No clue, I don't care about Xbox lol.
Gamecube: Probably and with lag for some games like Twilight Princess.
GBA: It'll work.
PS2: Maybe but that's hard to tell because PS2 emulators are pretty crap.
Xbox 360: No clue, probably not.
PS3: Nope.
Wii: Sure but I bet it would be quite laggy on all games.
DS family: Definitely with zero slowdown.
3DS: Probably but idk seeing as how 3DS emulation is very young.
Wii U: Probably not.
PS4: nope.
Xbox 1: Nope.
This is all hypothetical btw, I have no clue if any of this is actually how it would work out.

I don't even know why you listed stuff up to 8th Gen :rofl2:
I say Wii & GC for sure at least 30 fps constant, this is like a Shield tablet, so it will run fine.

It's more like a budget Shield tablet from what I've seen and the Shield TV can barely run Twilight Princess without slowdown so I'm a bit doubtful about that. I was tempted to list Xbox 1 X as definitely working as a joke but I decided not to lol

3DS, never.
Wii U, never.
Wii, never.
GC, perhaps.
Why do you think 3DS and Wii wouldn't work?

>implying the switch is more powerful than a 2nd gen i5
That is a video from 2012, Dolphin has recieved insane amounts of performance improvements since. You could probably run Galaxy 2 on that same PC 60fps on today's Dolphin.

As for emulation, based on current emulators I'd imagine Gamecube/Wii is the latest console, but many games would be slow, at the very least Melee would be fullspeed, since that game isn't super demanding for the most part, and DS the latest handheld since Drastic runs DS on hardware infinitely worse than the Switch, However, with emulators specifically designed for the Switch, built from the ground up for speed (similar to Drastic), or forks in that same vein, I could see Gamecube/Wii running many games well, and if 3DS emulators got very optimised I could see that working as well.

Will people put that much work into emulators for the Switch? Who knows, probably not. Realistically without (hijacked) official Gamecube VC or 3DS VC, expect that N64 and DS will be the newest homebrew stuff, maybe PSP too. It's very unlikely people will put that much work into emulators.

3DS doesn't run that well on PC, why would it run better on the Switch?

PS: It wouldn't.
