If you have the ability to get one on a console (as you can, obviously), you should do that. I would. But personally, my issue might just be strange.
I can't play games on emulators. They just don't hold my attention. Metroid II? I couldn't stick to it for 5 minutes on an emulator. I bought it on my 3DS and I didn't put it down until I beat it. The Legend of Zelda : Link's Awakening DX? I tried playing that on emulators dozens of times. I can't stick to it far enough to get past the 1st dungeon. On my 3DS, I couldn't put it down. I still can't play through the Oracle games, because I don't have a legal copy of them. I've been waiting for them to hit the eShop for quite a while now. I'm hoping they get added so my attention doesn't get averted within 5 minutes of trying to play it on an emulator like the last 10000 times I've tried... This is also the case with Super Metroid. I can play through Super Metroid in its entirety on my Wii/Wii U via Virtual Console, but when I play it on emulators, I can't play for more than an hour at a time.
The strangest part is, I use my Wiimote on PC games. It still doesn't feel the same.
There's also that urge to hit the speed-up button to make walking/dialogs/cinematics go faster. That detracts from the experience as well, I think.
