> A model B Raspberry Pi or even a Zero (if you can get one) should play NES games perfectly fine

Last time I tried this, some of my favorite games were super laggy (Yoshi's Island, Super Mario RPG) presumably due to having to emulate additional processors (Super FX, SA-1, etc.)

edit: Oh wait, this is NES we are talking about. Nevermind, I'm sure NES runs fine. I'll leave my comment up for anyone wanting to talk about SNES emulation.

Some of the issues were recently patched:

I tried it on my pi 2 and it feels the smallest bit laggy. Going to try it in a pi 3 to see if that improves things.

Retropie is amazing, but there are a lot of emulator options available, and some don't seem to work out of the box.

Those games you mentioned are SNES games.
