How to choose
Every handheld here plays SNES, so choose by comfort and screen. A good d-pad matters more than anything else for SNES games. SNES games are close to 4:3, which fills a 4:3 screen with little or no border; on a 16:9 screen you get bars on the sides. The SNES had L and R shoulder buttons, which every model here has.
