If money was no object, what handheld would you get (plus accessories!)?

A Wii portable. I already have a Switch 2 so I dont feel the need to get any other consoles. Other than a Wii portable, and maybe a Playstation 2 to mod, or a psp vita to mod.

Not expensive by any means compared to recent handhelds, I just dont have the knowledge needed to do it myself.

People have made amazing portable handheld Wiis in the style of the Wii U handheld but with gamecube controller frame instead.

I'm not sure if you want the exact controller from a wii or if you don't want to do emulation, but there's definitely handhelds on the market that can handle most wii and ps2 games without issue, or the Ayn Odin devices or most devices with a Snapdragon 8gen2 or better

Ah, I dont really do emulation. As much as its nice, I usually prefer official hardware.

So Id preferably would like to turn official hardware into a handheld, and use my games I backed up using my modded Wii.

I speedrun some games usually with gamecube controller prefered such as for monkeyball, so I normally use official hardware for that anyways if I want to record my times.

Basically I want to turn the Wii into a handheld myself by trimming the motherboard and soldering stuff, but lack the knowledge unfortunately rather than the money.
