You probably won't even need a full operating system - just a Batch-compatible interpreter and some simulations of commonly used Batch programs, like prompt or ping.
Perhaps the concept can be tested as an app for existing mobile devices.
Edit: I know that the Wine project has a somewhat batch compatible cmd.exe with source; perhaps one could port that to a mobile device.

For a CMD Based Video Game Handheld console It would need pretty much all
the functions of cmd esp set /a for doing math functions
or Variables such as %random% However something like ping could be left out and replaced with something
like a simple sleep function
EDIT: Wines CMD sucks for Batch file gaming it doesnt support
the set /a function

And probably a simple filesystem implementation so that one can store virtual files for, say, high scores. e.g. echo test > whatever.bat should work.
I took a look at the Wine command prompt, but it was too complicated for me to understand its logic.
Games written for the Command Prompt Interface
Speciffically Batch File Games
If people were to think this is a good idea I Would think about making such a device
what do you guys think?

However if you are insane and want to do this
I know of people who have free Freedos on a Nintendo DS so that's basically what you want.
