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.

Really depends what you’re looking for.

I personally hate playing 3DS games on Deck, but I have had good experience playing several games using Lutris (Played God of War 2016, Elden Ring, and Marvel’s Spider-Man) on Deck.

Emulation on Deck has been solid, but I’ve mostly stuck to Switch, GameCube and GBA games. Pokémon Legends ZA ran acceptably as well. I have Tears of the Kingdom, but haven’t installed it yet.

Tried Kingdom Hearts 2, and it seemed okay, but didn’t do much outside of launching it.
