I never used/have been lucky to be around an AES, but I got a Neo Geo Pocket Color last year and I LOVE it. Despite the smaller game library than other handhelds, the control stick feels super premium and I love the build of it. It feels like a handheld that was designed for arcade enthusiasts, which seems to be what it was intended to be. Also the game library is quite good when it isn’t casino games for some reason!
