Because it is a low-cost portable that has a vertical screen aspect ratio designed to better accommodate Nintendo DS dual screen emulation, or presumably classic vertical arcade games, which are often difficult to play on 4:3, 1:1, or 16:9 screens common to other devices.

My guess would be anyone that might want to emulate a Nintendo DS/3DS just like the title of the thread mentions.
