Paralyzed by choice, which handheld to best game on? (lemmy.world)

I've been trying to get into playing some old games I've either missed out on or have completely forgot I've even played. I now find myself wanting to play games from SNES and the Gameboy line and can't settle down on which handheld to play all these games on.

I have my old 3DS handhelds, and XL and non-XL version (proprietary charging), Analogue Pocket (no SNES save states), Miyoo Mini + (currently shipping), a Switch, and a Steam Deck (too heavy for long playthroughs). I find myself constantly switching between them all and can't settle down to actually play a game.

Anyone have any opinions on what's the best handheld experience?

Oh man. The pocket doesn't have SNES save states? Mine is on order but not due for ages. I've been playing on an Rg35xx in the meantime and don't know if I can go back to no save states!

Unfortunately, no SNES core has the capability of save states. Someone would need to create one with that in mind, but according to some core devs, it's very difficult. The Analogue Pocket would have been the clear winner if that was the case
