I upgraded my handheld emulation setup and can now do up to Dreamcast (N64 and PSP too) on the go but I don't really know what to try out. There are a couple of DC games I've played the PS2 versions of like Resident Evil: Code Veronica and Dead Or Alive 2, which I used to test out how well Redream and Flycast worked but beyond that I'm not sure what to grab thonk

It would be fun to give Saturn emulation a shot as well but I'm not sure if it'll even be playable. From what I've read, in terms of emulation on Android devices, Saturn sits somewhere between the DC/N64/PSP tier and the Gamecube/PS2/3DS tier in hardware requirements. I figured I might as well ask for MD/Genesis recommendations to round out the Sega systems.

These three Sega consoles are my childhood, Saturn is one of my favourite consoles despite it being generally seen in a negative light.

Mega Drive:

Story of Thor

Chaos Engine

Micro Machines games (2 turbo tournament was my fav)

Sonic games but specifically I really loved Sonic Spinball as an outlier.

Mega Bomberman

Bonanza Brothers

I could go on but I don't know what you have played before without just listing the greatest hits like Streets of Rage and the like.

Saturn:

Nights Into Dreams

Panzer Dragoon Saga

Guardian Heroes

Darkstalkers Revenge

Burning Rangers

Fighting Vipers or Fighters Megamix

Die Hard Arcade

Sega Rally

Sonic R

Saturn Bomberman (the greatest bomberman version that exists IMO)

I strongly recommend just exploring the Saturn in general as there is some great stuff out there, some of it janky as fuck but it is of its time.

Dreamcast

Space Channel 5

Power Stone 1 and 2

Crazy Taxi

Jet Set Radio

Chu Chu Rocket

Rival Schools (some amazing special moves in the best em up, I always remember the synchronised swimming guy)

Shenmue

All of these consoles are worth exploring though and these are just a few that come to mind straight away for me.

I started with the PlayStation so both the SNES and MD are a bit before my time. I have delved into the SNES catalogue since there's lots of well-known and still talked about games and series for an easy jumping-off point. Streets of Rage isn't actually a bad recommendation at all, it'd probably fit my handheld use case very well. Do you have any favored Mega Drive/Genesis emulator on Android? I assume there's a RetroArch core (or three) for that

I have no idea I'm afraid. Never emulated on android, I used to use I think it was called K Fusion on PC for a bit but tbh I've mostly played on original hardware :)
