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.

EDIT: Thanks for the info, a lot to think about. Basically it seems to come down to money anerbic // new 3ds xl // Steam deck. There'll be games on any system that I'll be happy with.

There's tons of emulation handhelds produced in the PRC. The android-based ones tend to have nicer ARM chips and decent screens, and Valve is working on ARM support for SteamOS. This gets you a less powerful but more efficient SteamOS handheld, which allows you to play tons of pirated games or emulated games. You can also stick with android and use native emulation software, including windows emulation for PC games.

Steam Deck is too expensive now, IMO, to recommend over these devices.
