a nintendo handheld can be cracked by following a guide, to then play any game released for it. this will require a $100-200 console. for older consoles like the nintendo ds, you can emulate, like dolphin emulator for pc. i can even emulate a ps2 on my beefed up gaming pc. nevermind that though, any modern laptop or pc should be able to handle nintendo ds games on an emulator. i think that'd be a good start for you.…

> nevermind that though, any modern laptop or pc should be able to handle nintendo ds games on an emulator Laptops in general are prone to overheating which leads to lower performance. Mine has an i7-8750H CPU and it can't play many Nintendo DS games. RetroArch and its A/V synchronization contribute to the CPU load as well. Perhaps a small form factor PC would be best suited for this purpose.

Fair point. I do keep my clunker on a cooling stand, so I didn't notice. OpenEMU running a nds did drain crazy battery though.

My best experience was a gba emulator on android. I played through 2 castlevania games throughout my commutes last year.

I bought that following your post, and absolutely loved it. Thanks!

Yuri Camp is one of my favourites, it really does capture that wonderful tranquil feeling of being outdoors. And it has introduced me to a number of great new winter foods from Japan too!

It's Yuru Camp, not yuri camp, that's... something else, but it's definitely a great relaxing show with seriously impressive background art and real locations.

Haha oh dear, that was an unfortunate typo :|

Zelda: Breath of the Wild has strong elements of Iyashikei. I picked this up recently after years of no video games. And I find myself just wandering around marveling at the sights and sounds. I mostly avoid conflict while performing the more ancillary quests. It's just so much more relaxing than the platform/shooter games I grew up with.

The main draw for the original Golden Sun games (Broken Seal and The Lost Age) for me was to just explore the world and talk to people and see how they felt about things. Helps that the game is really pretty and Sakuraba's music is amazing.
