Have you ever held a switch? Its long, flat and the controllers suck. Awful dpad and bad sticks.

Its almost comical, for a small stick the 3ds stick is better than any joycon stick.

And also, internal storage being only 32 GB, and cart games being downloaded in full to the system.

The switch is a mess. At least the games emulate well.

That’s not even going into the online ransom shit.

And the dock sucks too. Would it have killed Nintendo to add like 2 more USB ports and an Ethernet port.

And not related but powera can eat shit

        I think maybe I just want a GBA

        Which is probably currently available if I look around

            That’s true, especially since I don’t have any of the old physical games.

            I might get one of those “retro handhelds” (rg351p, PowKiddy, etc) one day. Those at least seem much more reasonable, and probably sport more open architecture

                Hell yes!! I would love that. I’m definitely looking for something lofi - like even playing SNES games would probably be overkill. Bonus points if it can play contemporary retro games, like for PICO-8

                  OK, so yih looking for something that can do SNES well, that would be low power, unless you wanna have newer systems,

                  So I need answers for these 4 questions

                  What shape you want?

                  What budget?

                  How much power do you want!

                  What os do you want?

                  For SNES the cheaper end will work

                    1. Smaller the better, not wide like a Switch or Stream Deck.

                    2. Under 200 CAD, but flexible for the right device

                    3. Limited 3D but no more. Like FX chip level

                    4. Linux? Hopefully I understood the question

                    Thanks for taking this time!
