Handheld Retro Console < $100

My son is 5. Has basically never played a video game besides an hour on Switch (Mario.) I'd like to buy him a very basic, cheap, handheld console that he can play a few pre-loaded classics on. Eg Tetris, oldschool Mario from SNES.

Any suggestions appreciated. Note: I'm too old to load the games on myself via emulation files etc. 🫣

    well so you are asking where to buy pirated items on ozb… uh… this is not going to end well…..

    • I just want games for a 5 year old, i dont care if the games aren't specifically licenced games of old.

      • Tried my 6yo daughter on my retro this weekend, Tetris she could understand the concept and moving the shapes and rotating but still failed to make a row lol
        Other “simple” games were also a bit too dynamic to coordinate

        Also not hard to buy one that comes with a games sd and to find other rims as you need and upload to the micro sd is basic

      Thanks!

  • If he's not interested in video games why direct him towards them? Let him work out his own hobbies

    switch has a subscription where you get most of the SNES, Sega, Gameboy, and other consoles games… cost aobut $60 a year or family plan is about $14 each.
