I’m thinking about getting a handheld as I’m spending more time away from my house and PC. I don’t want to get buy hundreds of dollars of games to go with it.

3ds xl / switch / Steam deck / Legion?

There seems a lot of options and all have plenty of games to them. Is there an obvious choice that I’m not aware of?

Thanks.

    Except for Nintendo DS and 3DS games. While those games are technically possible to emulate on a Vita (and may or may not run well, I have no idea), actually having the two screens of a 3DS is great. Some games were designed with that dual screen form factor in mind, so trying to play those games on a single screen can be a pain sometimes. A 3DS is very easy to mod and load ROMs onto. A 2DS XL is even cheaper and is basically the same thing, just without the 3D gimmick that you will likely not use anyway.
