DAE think the steam deck sorta looks like a game gear from a distance?

How’s the flips battery life? Been considering it as an android handheld for Hardcore RetroAchievements.

It depends what you’re playing on it, for sure. I Can get a couple hours of GameCube or PS2, and a few hours of older games. I mostly use it for the former, though I’ll occasionally use it for platformers that need more precision than the Analogue Pocket’s dpad Can provide. It’s still a mushy dpad, but much less prone to false diagonals than Analogues.

I love the Flip’s dpad. It’s basically become my dedicated Tetris machine.

I have the 2ds XL, and I love it. I’ve always wanted to try the 3D on the New 3ds, but never had a chance. Link Between Worlds is one of my favorite Zelda games.

ALBW is so good! Really fun in 3D.

What’s that console on the bottom of the photo that looks like a 3DS, but isn’t?

That’s the Retroid Pocket Flip. It’s an Android emulation device. Can handle most things ps1 and older, and a good bit of GameCube and ps2 libraries also.

Vita deserved better from Sony

I got it very late in its lifespan, just a few years ago, and I feel that a lot. I remember the proprietary memory cards being the major issue I had that prevented me from buying one originally, and they’re even more of an issue now that they’re out of production and the ones available are aging.

Thankfully, the homebrew scene provided workarounds to use microSD, but you lose the ability to play cartridges easily, so I haven’t done so myself.

It’s really a great console though. Basically a pocket PS2.5 I’d say. Sometimes closer to a pocket PS3. Plus the ability to play cross platform PS3 games, certain PS2 remasters, and Sonys (then) whole offering of PS1 ports really opens up the library on top of the smattering of quality Native Vita titles it had.

Dude do remember when the PS4 launched and it had the remote play function? I thought that was so cool. Things like that to me showed me that Sony was really making new leaps for handheld, but just kinda gave up?

I really loved the Vita. Probably my favorite handheld console of all time.
