System Highlight:
WonderSwan (1999) [Bandai]
Although other handhelds had moved to colour, Bandai felt there was still a market for monochromatic games due to the larger battery life they would allow. Despite some great ports of old classics and new anime based games it just never found its mark.

Is there game that you thought “this won’t work well on the Steam Deck,” but were pleasantly surprised? Either for controller or power reasons?
For me it was Horizon Zero Dawn. I thought for sure that it would run like garbage. With FSR, it worked great (battery life tanked, though)

There's no better time to get a Steam Deck OLED and install RetroDECK! You'll probably want a microSD card, so be sure to budget for that, too.
Valve is now selling refurbished Steam Deck OLEDs starting at $439
That’s a $110 savings from buying new.
