Personally it would be the form of a GBA, I love the form and would love a handled with the same shape

    PSP Go style! It would be small enough to fit in your pocket, but can slide open to reveal the controls. It’s still brilliant, it’s a shame that form never took off.

    My 2nd choice would probably be a clamshell (like the Nintendo DS). Everything else is honestly a bit too big to be very portable.

      YES! I would love to see a modern handheld with a PSP Go form-factor and a touch screen. (And maybe a 2nd thumbstick!)

        Touch is good and all but the second thumb stick is a bare necessity in all first person and many third person games.

          Big time. It can make a big difference in terms of what homebrew/ports you can play.

          I’ve never understood why devices like the RG351V went with a single stick. Especially when you consider how it struggled with PSP emulation.
