That is why I will always miss these "lesser" versions of the games, AKA as handheld games, and the Switch, or the industry, might have killed that already.

The biggest perk of handheld gaming nowadays is doing the "videogame chores" (like sidequests) more comfortably for your adult life, and not like a quick burst gaming style... Perhaps indies might be the only experience of it that is left.
