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?

    My current handhelds:

    • Miyoo Mini for NES/SNES/Gameboy and some PS1 games (no joystick)
    • DSi XL for DS games
    • new 3DS (non-XL) for 3DS games
    • Steam Deck for emulation from N64/GCN up to Switch/Playstation 1-2-3 and modern games

    Miyoo Mini / Mini+ & Steam Deck is the best combo imho, both DS are for nostalgia and ease of use with the native dual screen setup.

    Otherwise, I can’t vouch for any other handhelds since I don’t own them but RP3+ and RG35XX seems like great options too.
