“Most reviews say that this TV performs well with modern gaming systems (e.g. PS4, XBox1), but how well does it do with retro gaming? Does it accurately replicate picture and motion for old systems like NES, SNES, Sega Genesis, etc.?”

A flat panel HDTV will never look better than a good CRT when it comes to retro games because that's what they were designed for. If you're still using A/V cables on them, you can find good Sony Trinitron/Wega CRT TV's on Offer Up for dirt cheap. Also keep in mind that light gun games like Duck Hunt will not work on a flat panel HDTV, only on CRT TVs.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I can confirm using my Wii U with DLC retro NES Mario Bros 3 and it is very "retro". Square picture (no wide screen, cuts off the sides in black). Color seems to be a bit off (or that it could be better) however that could be from older technology? The game was ported for my system and in no way was it "remastered" for the Wii U. I unfortunately do not have a working original NES console to test however. My apologizes.
