Just buy a Gameboy. Good games are timeless.

I’d pay a lot to play one more game of “Nobunaga’s Ambition.”

Which one should I buy? I don't really know the Nintendo world.

I'd recommend a Gameboy Advance SP, because the older, non-backlit, screens were genuinely poor under some non-ideal lighting situations, and you still get support for older generation games. But a standard Gameboy Advance or even Gameboy Color is still good. I'd avoid things prior to the Color personally.

GBA SP: Play Summon Night Swordcraft Story, SRW Original Generation 1+2, Castlevania Aria of Sorrow, Yggdra Union (Warning: extremely difficult), Harvest Moon, Riviera (I played the PSP version)

NDS: Ghost Trick, The World Ends With You, Ragnarock DS, Devil Survivor, 999, Rune Factory 3, Disgaea DS

If you're not concerned with retro aesthetic, get a Game Boy Advance. It's compatible with the entire back catalog.
