This device is literally the PEAK for 2D retro gaming
>identical in screen size to 3.5" 4:3 screens, but with higher pixel density
>GB/NGPC/Turbografx/PICO-8 fills out more of the screen than on any other console
>NES/SNES fills out the screen with an 8:7 pixel-perfect aspect ratio, the way the games were meant to be played
>GBA has a perfect 3x integer scale, leading to zero pixel warping, unlike on 640x480 screens (I don't even mind the black bars that much; makes the game feel more cinematic imo lol)
>perfect for vertical arcade schmups, being the ONLY handheld with a device that doesn't have a horizontal bias
Sure, once you get to PSX/Dreamcast/N64, it kind of loses its main advantages, but for everything before that, you CANNOT find a better device. The only thing that would make it better is a touch screen so you could have full DS compatibility on it, too.
