I love emulation/Chinese handhelds, I don't have a gaming PC, I can cope with the Steam Deck being gigantic as I have read it is comfy.

The only thing that stops me from getting one is that I'm in a tight position with the money right now, and probably when I get my stuff in order a Steam Deck 2 or pro would be already in the works ๐Ÿ˜…

Same, honestly. No PC atm, just my little RP2+, though my right stick is wiggly and R1 doesn't work anymore. ;u; Considering getting the RP2S just because it fixes all the issues I have with the 2+, and it's still super cheap. RP3+ doesn't have magnetic hall sticks, and that's huge for me.

Steam Deck would be sick, but it's pricey as all hell. Maybe the price will go down if they release a 2 Steam 2 Deck.

Yeah, seems like you'll be fine with the RP2S!

It sucks that there are no cheap ways to emulate GCN, Wii, and PS2 properly, but well, on the bright side I suspect most of us have a huge backlog of older systems lol.

I'd love to be able to play Kingdom Hearts II, Super Mario Sunshine, Super Mario Galaxy...Maybe in the near future. We're already seeing a big bump in console power right now.

Well, if you have a decent Android phone I'm pretty sure you can achieve that, it would only be a matter to get a controller (telescopic controller is the best if you ask me), you can even use the controllers that you already own, you'd only need a good clip or mount.
