Huh ? No retro handhelds are like the Gameboy and GBA right?

The *new* Nintendo 3DS XL is still pretty new…it has new in the title..

the end of physical media for videogames would represent another broken seal leading to the future dominance of chinese handhelds

The recent Xbox PC app refresh might have made it faster, but I still don't love using it on my Ally X.

Now, this Playnite launcher theme makes Windows gaming PCs and handhelds feel like they fit alongside the Series X|S consoles. 'XFSE-Compact' is great!

Xbox fans can now bring the Series X|S dashboard experience to Windows PCs and gaming handhelds
Tired of the Xbox app on PC? This Playnite theme recreates the console dashboard on gaming PCs and Windows handhelds.

These retro handhelds and emulators seemed to be getting better every year.

PS2 is my goat. Also all handhelds basically. I can't think of a handheld gen that wasn't great.

I have a theory that indies should target Android handhelds.
US average price paid for a new unit of hardware:

September 2026
PS5 - $646
XBS - $663

September 2013
PS3 - $252
360 - $232

September 2013 prices adjusted for inflation as of September 2026 (US Bureau of Labor Statistics)
PS3 - $363
360 - $334

slightly troubled by really liking shmups and stgs but much preferring them on handhelds which is strange since they don't exist in handhelds

I always put a copy of Superman 64 on the emulator handhelds I get. Just in case.
November 7, 2026 at 8:09 PM
(and before anyone mentions ocarina 3d a handheld remake was never going to replace the original culturally, and handhelds are effectively dead now so this isn't exactly a replicable strategy going forward)

Gonna have to get you one of those emulator handhelds from China to finally live your dream

Everyone should have a couple ham radio type handhelds with the long antenna. You don't need the encrypted bs.

Handhelds should've never gotten bigger than the PS Vita
November 3, 2026 at 4:15 PM
Delivered.

I look forward to spending hours setting it up in a month, and then immediately shoving it in a drawer with my other retro handhelds.
November 5, 2026 at 8:48 AM
I guess I'll keep using my Flip 2, but my enthusiasm for emulation handhelds in general is just heavily dampened, knowing the current state of software

All I can say is given the recent blue sweep, I hope they regulate the fuck out of these companies

Started crying as I just want to write my daft words about handhelds and old daft consoles. Feel a bit pointless.
