Odin 3

Oh wow! This would literally be my End Game handheld collection. Legion Go 2 - Z2 Extreme (For basically all types of gaming and PS3 and Xbox 360 emulation) AYN Odin 3 (For PSP, PS Vita and basically everything else) AYN Thor (For 3DS, DS and whatever fits with this one) Nintendo Switch 2 (For all N

Have you considered an OLED Android handheld like the Ayn Odin 3 or Portal? The Retroid Pocket 6 should also be coming out soon.cYou'll get much better battery life for emulation out of that with actually better PS2 performance than the Steam Deck (though mature software support kinda stops there ri

Only if you want to play Nintendo first party exclusives like Mario and Zelda. If not, get a Steamdeck, or another PC handheld that you can install Steam on.

So for that reason, Id go Legion Go or Ally personally. The only thi

However, I really like having the ability to emulate Switch and Wii U games to bring just one console. So frankly, I have an Odin 3 Pro and a

Yes, I think you're asking about retro handhelds, emulators are the programs that emulate games from the multiple consoles. I think the most powerful right now is the Ayn Odin 3, Here's a great site for researching devices https://retrocatalog.com/best-gaming-handhelds
