I’ve been trying to get into playing some old games I’ve either missed out on or have completely forgot I’ve even played. I now find myself wanting to play games from SNES and the Gameboy line and can’t settle down on which handheld to play all these games on.

I have my old 3DS handhelds, and XL and non-XL version (proprietary charging), Analogue Pocket (no SNES save states), Miyoo Mini + (currently shipping), a Switch, and a Steam Deck (too heavy for long playthroughs). I find myself constantly switching between them all and can’t settle down to actually play a game.

Anyone have any opinions on what’s the best handheld experience?

    I keep buying them and then going back to the (modded) NEW 3DS. It helps that most of the retro games I like are Nintendo games. GBA, DS, and 3DS run native. And the Nintendo made emulators for SNES, NES, Genesis, etc run super well. Anything more demanding than 3DS I use a steam deck for the bigger screen anyway.
