Nintendo granted patent for emulating handheld consoles and software

A software emulator for emulating a handheld video game platform such as GAME BOY.RTM., GAME BOY COLOR.RTM. and/or GAME BOY ADVANCE.RTM. on a low-capability target platform (e.g., a seat-back display for airline or train use, a personal digital assistant, a cell phone) uses a number of features and optimizations to provide high quality graphics and sound that nearly duplicates the game playing experience on the native platform. Some exemplary features include use of bit BLITing, graphics character reformatting, modeling of a native platform liquid crystal display controller using a sequential state machine, and selective skipping of frame display updates if the game play falls behind what would occur on the native platform

Nintendo have been doing this for years.
I took a plane to Japan for the first time over 12 years ago, and the back of every seat had SNES emulation software.

Now, moving to phones...eh, it's possible. But I don't see them putting anything modern out there. Nintendo relies on its software to sell its very lucrative hardware, unlike sony or ms. They'll put modern games on planes, but no modern games on cell-phones. That's a guarantee.
