A new EU law will require portable consoles like the Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch to have batteries you can replace yourself.

      Not OP, but can recommend two similar ones, data frog SF2000 looks like a snes controller with a screen on it, it’s cheap (~20-30 USD) but it gets a little laggy running GBA, and anbernic rg35xx is pricier but higher quality, and has a gameboy-ish shape (~60-70 USD) don’t know about any of the other ones, but those two seem decent-ish from what I’ve heard. Haven’t used them myself but they seem to be the most popular. Both have replaceable/upgradable batteries, but they’re not AA’s.

      They’re mostly on aliexpress

      If you’re looking for a handheld emulator, I recommend the Miyoo Mini+ or Anbernic RG35XX. They’ll last you years longer than the cheapie ones that play NES games since they have community custom firmware. Plus they play way more: NES, SNES, Gameboys, PS1, Genesis, etc.

      MSRP on these are ~$50-60. However you can get them for as low as $25-30 if you use Chinese sites like TEMU. If you’re curious I can send you more info

      I must have misspoke or misheard. If I found the correct unit it’s AAA batteries.

      I think it’s this unit. My Sister said it was cheap on Amazon.

      It was definitely a knock off thing. Had games I remember and then some obviously hacky knock off games named things like “Super Mario 26”.

      I’d say it seemed worth $20ish bucks. But, if you’re interested in something super serious this probably isn’t it.
