I’m thinking about the AVGN and how Nintendo makes you pay to play shitty emulator games from like 50 years ago.
Especially for the very old games like atari lol

N64 to Ps1 era, not really. I've played a few but the it doesn't feel like they've figured out 3d games yet. PS2 and up is great.
I love 16 and 8 bit though. I emulate old snes and nes games instead of playing shitty mobile games. Since I don't want to spend money on an actual mobile console, I just play older games on my phone. But I wouldn't consider them worth emulating on my main computer in place of my free gaming time.
This falls in line pretty closely with my take.
Anytime a game falls into the experimental new tech era (PS1 and N64 3D graphics being one, "first generation" VR games being another more recent example), I find that these systems have considerably less titles I'm interested in playing because they're usually less-refined or leaning harder into the technology's "gimmick" appeal rather than delivering a good game.
For consoles where they were basically revisions/evolutions of tech (SNES/Genesis for 2D, PS2 and onwards for 3D, generation TBD for VR) I can find a lot more of the library that interests me.
Even on Xbox I remember a lot of janky weird control schemes, it wasn't until later that it settled down into "left thumbstick move right thumbstick aim"
