Hi, thanks in advance for letting me tap into your collective expertise. My wife floated the idea of buying my daughter a Gameboy for Christmas. I said that sounds great, but it's probably going to be expensive. Honestly I haven't even looked, but I'd rather avoid going over say $150 for an old handheld system.

So, what I'm wondering is, considering all handheld systems, what would you recommend? Looking for a combination of value, quality, games (including games for kids) no wifi... Just offline gaming basically.

Thanks again if you can help.

Game boy advance sp. Can play game boy as well as game boy advance games. Rechargable. Huge library of games. Can be gotten for about 40 dollars.

I’d say one of the earlier DS’s. Like the big brick one or even the DS lite. I think they can play everything except the new 3DS games. And looking at Gamestop the DS lite is like $50.

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.
