The Gameboy Advance would be a better system since it would have usable shoulder buttons.

It wouldn't have as retro a feel though. Those old Gameboys were like bricks. Such great little systems.

But at what point does functionality start mattering less than form?
Is it really worth it to spend all the time developing this when the screen will barely be big enough to see anything on and you're missing your shoulder buttons?

Space for a pi zero, screen + screen controller and battery good enough to power the whole thing and not crap out in less than an hour might be an issue in GBA case. Pi needs a minimum of 5volts where as the GBA was designed to run off two AAA at 3volt so you'd probably need a 7.2volt lipo and some method to bring it down to about 5.
I might buy myself a cheap GBA and try to see if its possible, I'd say it could be done if you get the right parts.
