Played through GoldenEye 64 and Perfect Dark semi-recently. Although the more recent releases available on Xbox rather than N64. I'd played GoldenEye 64 a lot as a kid but not Perfect Dark. Both are pretty great and still kinda unique in the FPS space.

I've also been playing Persona 3 Reload, which is technically a new game but a pretty faithful remake of an older one with some great quality of life improvements. I don't think I'd want to play the original again without full control of party members.

I've tried replaying GoldenEye and I found it laborious to aim without dual analog sticks. It's one of the few classic games I think has aged especially poorly just due to the controls.
You could play the original GoldenEye with two N64 controllers (one in each hand) to get dual analogue. Highly Recommended.
That's one thing the Xbox version fixes (not the Switch version unfortunately). The Xbox port has pretty much the same control scheme as a modern console FPS.
