Anyone else miss handhelds? Like -- ACTUAL handhelds, not shit like the Switch or Steam Deck?
I'm talking like the GBA, PSP, DS, 3DS. Hell, even the Vita. These things had so much SOUL and there were great games for these kinds of platforms, games that wouldn't work anywhere else, especially not on home consoles, and not on mobile either.
Why hasn't anyone made a new handheld platform in the vein of these old ones yet? I know there's the playdate, but that's too low spec for my tastes.

modern games require high specs and "actual" handhelds are just too small to fit everything

bruh there's a flourishing market of chinky handhelds that fit whatever form factor you want. Look up channels like Retro Game Corp or ETA Prime

>>722604548
It's a different time. You will get Android chinkhelds and you will like it.

I think this at least once a week when I play on my 3DS. I can't believe what handheld gaming *used* to be. We were given pocket-sized experienced and then later unique peripherals like touch screen gaming on DS. It is no longer a period of innovation where games are unique to platforms and stronger for it.

I miss novel handhelds.

Pray Nintendo comes up with an actual pocket size system next gen. Now we just have bulky portable PCs and chinkhelds with retro games.

Only out of touch boomers want screens for ants.
Get with the times boomers or just die already.

The only reason you don't like chinkslop is because there's no artificially isolated games on it and you basically just emulate, and the hardware itself is better than any hardware you grew up with 1000x over.
So really you are either just nostalgic for the time you had these devices or you're just waiting for big corpo to make a modern version with games needlessly exclusive to the shitty little handheld, and they will have less features and power for more money than the current chinkslop has.
