There are definitely a lot of options for handheld retro gaming.  I decided to order a Powkiddy RGB10 MAX 3, so I'm looking forward to using that when it arrives. Depending on how I like it, I might sell my RetroFlag Pi-based retro handheld.

And in general, there are lots of options for emulation these days. Aside from handhelds and emulation on my PC, I also have a modded Nintendo Wii that I installed some emulators on, as well as a Nintendo SNES Classic Mini, and on another TV, I have an Nvidia Shield Pro with RetroArch installed on it (it can use a bluetooth gaming controller).
