six to seven hundred bucks USD comrade. Be thankful such a cost is something you can be flippant about.
The steam deck is 6-700. The emulation handhelds they mentioned are usually iirc between about 80 and 150. I don't think the "not too much" was in reference to the steam deck.
You can buy a BattleXP G350 for about 35 USD and go ham on GBA, GBC, NES, SNES, and even PSX games. Emulation devices have pretty much every price point covered from incredibly cheap all the way up to 1000+ USD handheld computers.
Almost everyone I know has a smartphone capable of playing PSP games, and Spain isn't particularly rich. They sell decent controllers specific for smartphones for some 20€ off Ali, not too bad either imo
If you read the whole sentence as I originally typed it out, I clearly meant the devices were "not too much" and not the Steam Deck. You can get a portable retro device that runs quite a bit (up to maybe PSX and DS games) for roughly $50-$100, which is a lot less than a Steam Deck or any new console would be.
