I've seen in YouTube reviews mention native ports of SuperMario-based games and other N64 titles, but they look like perfect replicas to me. I think someone manages to do an instruction set conversion to the native instruction set of the device for performance reasons (N64 titles are hit and miss as to weather they'll run fine/fast or not). But yeah, it's all about the retro gaming. I don't know of any *new* titles that have been created for these class of devices. <shrug>
