If you have a PC, they run very well in an emulator. Dolphin even runs on Android, though I've never tried it so I can't judge its performance.

I would prefer to just wait for the official release 😀

Thanks for the suggestion though!

Dolphin runs pretty badly on low-end hardware in general. That being anything worse than mid-grade desktop hardware.

Depending on the specific game, it may be playable, but I wouldn't bet on it.

As a specific example, I have a laptop with an i5-1335u, and it can't run Twilight Princess playably at all, and Metroid Prime 2 doesn't work great either.

But my previous 10600k desktop had no issues.

And as a general rule, phones are less powerful than even low-end desktop hardware.
