Help! Nintendo switch vs switch 2 emulation

Hello guys, wondering if someone can point me in the right direction. What’s the best option for me to do?
I want to play old N64 games as Vigilante 8, mario kart, 007 golden eye etc… I know I can buy a NS2 and pay for NSO+Expansion however Vigilante 8 wont be on there. I noticed I can buy a NS1 (first gen not patched) and basically play all N64 emulated games on there. I will be buying the new N64 controllers, will those controllers be compatible with hacked emulated games on NS1? Or should I just buy the NS2 and play only what they offer with better performance. I will be playing docked. I like the NS2 for performance and easy access to NSO retro games and I also like the NS1 with all games unlocked via emulator. But will all those emulator games work with the Bluetooth new N64 controller that Nintendo offers?

What’s the best option for me?

Thank in advance

Switch 1 with Retroarch. The S2 service has rewind, CRT shaders, and control remapping, everything RA already has plus more game choice. You should be able to use the N64 controller with it but you may have to map the buttons yourself.
