My 9 year old Nephew got a small handheld emulator for his birthday. Some cheaper knock off unit.
He was excited and was showing me all the cool old NES games he could play. Most from my own childhood.
While grinning at me, my Sister told him to tell me what he had told her the best thing about it was.
My Nephew exclaimed that the very best thing about it was that it took AA batteries. So he didn't have to wait for it to charge. He could just swap batteries.
It blew his mind when I told him everything was like that when his Mom and I were kids.
I'm down to get back to that.
Do you mind sharing the name or a link of the object? I am looking for buying one but I just find everything so cheap made or I can't rally understand if something is good or not
Not OP, but can recommend two similar ones, data frog SF2000 looks like a snes controller with a screen on it, it's cheap (~20-30 USD) but it gets a little laggy running GBA, and anbernic rg35xx is pricier but higher quality, and has a gameboy-ish shape (~60-70 USD) don't know about any of the other ones, but those two seem decent-ish from what I've heard. Haven't used them myself but they seem to be the most popular. Both have replaceable/upgradable batteries, but they're not double A's.
They're mostly on aliexpress
