It sounds dumb but my pick would be the SNES. There's just something about 16 bit games I love.

The SNES has so many good games, like sf2. The first party games and some good arcade ports.

It also has a lot of good RPGs, like chrono trigger

The controller is really cute

Tho, the PSP is a close second. Tekken dr running at 3x resolution looks beautiful

Yes I'm a sucker for dpad centric devices. Yes i love emulation.

16 bit stuff looks amazing

Same for me. Lots of consoles have lots of great games, and I really like the idea of the PS2 library's depth and quality. I bought a 1TB MicroSD card for my Steam Deck OLED and loaded it with a 1TB image of curated roms from a private tracker thinking I'd play a lot of the ones I missed...

...But the only non-Steam game I've played is FF5 for the SNES. I've wanted to play it since I found out Final Fantasy "III" was a lie. The Steam Deck is the ultimate SNES RPG machine.

That and my SD2SNES in my childhood SNES gets a lot of play time with my 6 y.o. son. He's almost able to beat world 1 of SMW solo, but he prefers Kirby Super Star, where he can beat world 1 and most of world 2.
