I can't speak for the emulation, but there are plenty of good platformers on Android that use touch controls!

Well not exactly. But here's 5 highly enjoyable platformers.

I don't know if you know that Terraria is on Android. Most of the 1.2 content is there and some of the content that is missing is coming down the pipe --fishing, mine carts.
These don't 100% match your criteria but they do sonewhat and are solid games (I'm picky as fuck games).
There are a LOT of ads, and I am eagerly awaiting an update to fix the iap to disable ads. Really this is a premium game, but devs don't trust Android users to buy premium (sadly the data backs them up).. * Dragon Fantasy I picked this up on sale and no regrets. I don't usually like turn based rpgs or being randomly attacked in the overworld like in Final Fantasy 3 or Zelda 2, but the production value here is pretty good.
Tongue in cheek storyline, choose between 8 bit and 16 bit graphics and decent but not stellar controls. I prefer an invisible move finger anywhere joystick, which this has, but I find myself preferring the on-screen oversized NES buttons.. * Expedition Very short but engaging story and puzzle platform gameplay.. * Mage Gauntlet A modern SNES game (think Secret of Mana and Link to The Past) with a fun, interesting but not epic story. Great control mechanic with the pro swipe option. This game almost has too many secrets, great for 100%ers.. * Pixel Heroes Another game where the fun and quality is enough for me to enjoy a genre I normally don't: roguelikes.
It's brutal. I haven't beaten more than 2 dungeons before losing my party. There's a trend here of tongue in cheek stories (a trend or my selection bias?). The controls are simple. It's not an autorunner but once you leave the town hub, you can't go backwards. Fighting is turn based. I found the inventory menu cluttered at first blush.. * Wayward Souls The original roguelike that held my attention (helps that it's realtime action and not turn based). My benchmark for mobile controls, but also supports controlpads.
Set in the same universe as Mage Gauntlet, awesome SNES 16 bit graphics..
