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?

    For handhelds, I have a Supaboy, a PSP, a PS Vita, a 3DS old, a New 3DS XL and a Switch.
    Out of those, the Switch is the only one I can’t play emulated games or homebrews, given I haven’t modded it nor there is flashcarts for it.
    And among the ones we both have, the 3DS XL models seem like the best ones. Not very heavy while still being decently sized, good resolution and color palette, buttons with good pressure, and for emulating Nintendo games, Nintendo’s own devices are usually the best for their given release period.
