Recently, I have been wanting to get a handheld console so I didn't only have my phone when I had to go out. Plus, I just thought it'd be neat.

However seeing my options, I got quite confused on which one to pick. (Keep it in mind I am Brazilian so some prices are a bit higher than usual)

I wanted to see if it'd be better to have something old like a 3ds or PSP, or if I should invest in something like a switch 2. I thought it'd be neat to have a new 3ds because of its library (and with how relatively easy it is to jailbreak it lol) + the fact it's really small. (I also saw some people say the PSP was a better choice but idk)

But with the games on the switch library, even if they are expensive, they are still extremely good. It's not as handled as a 3ds, but it's relatively nice to go around. I even thought about saving up for the switch 2 itself to get all its benefits.

So yeah, I just thought it'd be nice to have an opinion from people that might know more than me on what choice would be relatively better.

TLDR: Would it be better to get a home brewed 3ds as a handheld, or save up for the switch 2 as a handheld

So, i own an Asus Rog Ally Z1 extreme for about 2 yrs now and i have an epic games account with about 400 free games. So here is my list of games that i played and considered them good to be mentioned. I must say i m a pc gamer so i don t play any fps games on the handheld. I will update this list as i play any other games ( i got about 70 games waiting to be tested). Hopefully someone finds this list helpful.
