Retro handheld console under €200

Our retro handheld consoles under €200. This is the price bracket where you gain in comfort: bigger screens, better battery life and, on the most powerful models, the first Dreamcast and PSP games. Below this budget, PS2 and GameCube emulation remains out of reach — for that, expect to pay €250 or more. Supplied without games. 2-year legal guarantee of conformity and French customer service.

Between €150 and €200: what the budget really changes

What the extra budget really buys

Between 150 and 200 euros, the gain is mainly in comfort: a bigger, brighter screen, better-made sticks, cleaner speakers and a larger battery. The best-equipped devices also open up the PSP and Dreamcast libraries.

Android or Linux: two ways to play

An Android model supports more emulators, receives updates and allows cloud gaming, but it needs some setting up and boots more slowly. A Linux model stays instant and simple, with a shorter list of systems. The choice comes down to whether or not you want to tweak your device.

What it doesn't do

  • No games or ROMs included: you use your own files.
  • PS2 and GameCube out of reach: these systems require moving up a budget bracket.
  • 16:9 doesn't enlarge 4:3 games: they are displayed with black bars on the sides.

To decide between two models, our guide ranks devices by the systems they can really play.

What does this bracket offer compared with under €150?
Mostly comfort: a bigger, brighter screen, better-made sticks, cleaner speakers and a larger battery. The best-equipped models also open up the PSP and Dreamcast libraries.
Android or Linux on this budget?
Android supports more emulators, receives updates and allows cloud gaming, but it needs some setting up and boots more slowly. Linux stays instant and simple, with a shorter list of systems. Choose according to how much you want to tweak your device.
Is PS2 playable under €200?
Not reliably. PS2 and GameCube emulation requires a more powerful chip and suitable cooling, which you'll find from the next bracket up. On this budget, stick to the PSP and Dreamcast for the most demanding systems.
