Best way to hook too many old consoles to a TV? (sh.itjust.works)

Howdy.

I set up all of my old game consoles for fun, and feel like there must be a better way. I have an NES on the antenna connector (RG6?), about eight consoles on composite (Y/R/W), and four or five on HDMI. I still have my old school Composite switch, but I need more inputs, and it would be nice to be able to use the TV remote instead of getting my old bones up. My TV has two or three HDMI ports but I need a few more.

Do I just need an RF adapter, a bigger Composite switch, and some kind of HDMI switch, or is there another option I'm not thinking of?

Thanks!

I hate to be that guy, but it may be worth weighing your options with an emulation setup. That way you can okay everything on one machine, on one tv input, and not need to get up to turn anything on.

If you like the original controllers 8bitdo sells conversion kits that make old controllers wireless. It's an investment for sure, but idk, might be your cup of tea.
