If my N64 can pick up where I left off, surely a newer piece of hardware should be expected to and well

I sold all my childhood consoles and games before I moved out on my own.
I think it would be kind of neat to play those games on original hardware, assuming the hardware itself still works. Obviously the "saves" on some of those 30+ year old cartridges might no longer work. On the other hand, it would just be more unused stuff sitting around taking up space and making moves more complicated for the past 3 decades, so I'm also perfectly at peace with the fact that I don't have them anymore.
A couple of years ago, I fired up the Wii I bought from a buddy of mine back in '07 or '08, which was one of the early NA models from 2006. It still worked and the games I checked out still worked, including the digital ones. The online stuff is non-functional now though, but I never really used any of that other than sometimes I'd fire up the browser for the novelty of it.
Anyway pointless stories aside, I assume that reply was just contrarian / rage-bait commentary for engagement. I don't know that particular person, but I know that type. They look at every interaction as a chance to "dunk" on someone / demonstrate their superiority in some way and/or as a means to gain attention, any attention, good or bad.
So, I wouldn't read too much into it, unless you happen to know these folks personally.
