Everyone in the comments is forgetting about light gun games. They don't work on LCD screens

There are patches for the NES zapper games to make them work on modern TVs.

Ironically, the light gun segments are doable with the gamepad and actually easier that way. I always used the gamepad to beat them instead of the zapper.
