Paralyzed by choice, which handheld to best game on?

3 years ago by kaikendoh to c/retrogaming

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 love my Anbernic handhelds. Pretty much any of them, but I draw the line at the Android ones. Might as well just get a controller for a phone at that point. The Linux ones are neat though - currently my daily driver is the 351V. Debated getting a 351P, partially because I mostly play GBA and the screen is made for that but also because I collect them.

This - I have an RG351P and I honestly love it for playing GBA and even SNES games.

I have a Steam Deck as well and I feel like the two devices complement each other nicely.
