(Apologies if this was posted already, but I searched and didn't see anything.)

I think there's definitely a niche market for a low specs/low price handheld for 2D retro-style games. Here's hoping the rumor is true!

I saved up and bought a Game Gear as a kid. But Mortal Kombat II eventually angered me so much one day that I smacked the front of the GG after losing to Johnny Cage. Screen went dark. No longer turned on. I mailed it to Sega for repair, and they sent it back saying nothing was wrong. Somehow during shipping, whatever I knocked loose got knocked back into working order. Magic console.
