Picking your first or a new retro gaming device can be hard due to so many options being out there, and every person has a different thing(s) they are wanting from said device. So hopefully this video helped you narrow down your options or at least narrow down what you are wanting out of these devices. Feel free to message me with any question you might have.

      Any of the mid-tier option he gave should give you a very good expirience, they most likely wont come with majora but just find the rom online, unzip and drag to the correct folder, its super easy, I won't tell you where to get the rom because its tecnically a crime but nobody cares so it takes like 1 minute.

    Just putting this out here For people that say "just use official hardware!" I say they fit different niches. Retro handhelds are generalists, official handhelds are specialists. The 3ds of course specializes in the DS family, but is crap for n64 and beyond. Depending on your retro handheld, you can even play switch! (Can confirm, I have a RP3+ and it can run some switch games) and by extension, just about everything that came before it It's about what you'd like to play at the end of the day
