|style="text-align:center;"|A rather poor excuse of a response to the Wii, made by JungleTac, KenSingTon, and a dozen or so manufacturers churning out shoddy variants of it. Emulators have recently been made for the platform, with several projects aiming to provide support for Sunplus' rather oddball architecture, such as [http://www.maxconsole.com/maxcon_forums/threads/280551-MuchimeX-v0-5-has-been-released! MuchimeX for the original Xbox], and [http://hackmii.com/2010/04/sunplus-the-biggest-chip-company-youve-never-heard-of/ Unununium], the latter being the basis for a MESS core. The same goes for VTech's [http://www.progettoemma.net/mess/system.php?machine=vsmile V.Smile], the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xavix XaviXPORT] and most [http://www.progettoemma.net/mess/system.php?machine=batmantv Jakks Pacific] TV games including those [http://www.progettoemma.net/mess/system.php?machine=walle Disney tie-in ones].

|style="text-align:center;"|1988 edutainment VHS console that used two audio tracks on each tape, the player choosing one of two options on screen, to create interactivity. Also had short mini-game segments with ColecoVision like graphics. Unlike the other VHS systems the games were actually decent. No known emulators.

|style="text-align:center;"|Preliminary
|style="text-align:center;"|Yes
|style="text-align:center;"|Old edutainment console released in 1988. It featured a robot-type character called Socrates and had wireless infrared controllers. The same company would later release the V.Smile and V.Flash systems many years later.

|style="text-align:center;"|Yes
|style="text-align:center;"|Chinese knockoff Game Boy that was branded with various bizarre names, despite each version being exactly the same. Used cartridges. Roms are out there, surprisingly.

|style="text-align:center;"|Decent
|style="text-align:center;"|Yes
|style="text-align:center;"|A very downgraded Game Boy. Only Pokemon related games were released, and it's catalogue of games is also very limited. It's also very rare nowadays. Decent support in MESS, though there are other choices to play these games on other emus.

|style="text-align:center;"|A handheld released in 2003 that used an enhanced Palm OS. Ahead for it's time, even receiving awards. However, the PSP and Nintendo DS systems killed it.
