What I would prefer over a handheld console, would definitely be a PPC or 68060 based laptop. Even better, from what I've read, a lot of the 68060s didn't even need active cooling. Get one of those, an SSD and you'd have a nice cool silent system.
I mean if you want a console that plays Amiga games, just go pick up an old original Xbox and hack it.
