One Game is a negative but it checks your boxes of Handheld, No Wifi, and Cost.

Seriously though a DS would be a perfect entry level for what you're looking for I think.
I still have my original one. Still works too

DS Lite would be a great option, as it gives her access to the DS library and you can play GBA games on it, too. They're easy to find and won't cost more than $50.

As a couple of others said, a 2DS would also be a good option for $80. It usually comes packed with a game like Mario Kart.

Re: Buying my daughter a handheld "classic" style system for Xmas - suggestions?

I picked up an Advance SP and three games:

Super Mario Advance 4: SMB3
Yoshi's Island: SMBA3
Sonic Advance 2 (she loves Sonic)
Mario Kart: Super Circuit. Games were generally $15-$20 apiece, so not bad.

I got a used Advance SP - Platinum that's supposedly in very good condition for $55.


I want her to have a chance to appreciate the real old-time games and I think she will because she loves playing low graphic type games on her tablet.

So we'll see how she likes it.

Thanks again guys.

7. When she was asked to describe herself at the beginning of the year she said I'm a gamer who plays soccer.
