According to random unsourced claims I just found on an internet forum, which I've decided to trust:

    NES: 9 watts
    Super NES: 10 watts
    Nintendo 64: 19 watts
    GameCube: 39 watts
    Wii: 45 watts
    PlayStation: 17 watts
    Game Boy: 0.7 watts
    Game Boy Advance SP: 1.6 watts
The rasppi 4 is supposedly 4 watts when idle, and under 8 watts when loaded.

(So there is really no question that a machine like this can run with passive cooling, but obviously it's going to be a function of case size and design, as well as heatsink size and design.)
