I think you’re simply nostalgic. Not in a bad way. In an understandable way.

Even though we have a switch, steam deck, bazzite machine, wife remote plays her steam cozy simulators on pocket flip 2 and she’s fairly happy with it

Locally she installed gameNative (emulator of steam on android) and uses it for lighter visual novels

All is to say, maybe the day you finally get the old school style console, you’ll change your mind.
