gameboy, ds or 3ds are the best
psp, game boy advance were cool too
game gear, vita, phones = trash

psp and gba micro

Probably Gameboy Advance due to the entire GB/GBC library being backwards compatible. Second up for me is the 3DS almost entirely because of Monster Hunter.

Nintendo DS Lite is pretty much perfection in a handheld. Everything about it feels good. I'd say the only fault is that it can get dead pixels out of nowhere.

DS Library + GBA Library, and using an R4 cart to play every game ever. This was the best handheld ever.

Samsung Galaxy S8

Vita.

GBA, dont even bother replying

3DS or DS.
Hard to choose.

wrong

In games the PSP
In looks the Vita
In controls the Vita
In emulation Vita
Before you guys go apeshit I have the Original white gameboy up to the Vita even the Virtual boy. The Virtual boy by the way has better controls than the DS.
I'm not

This. Backlight that can be turned off, sturdy as fuck, compact as fuck, easy to pirate, great library.

saying the DS and the 3DS are bad. But Playing Nintendo games since my childhood, I kinda got bored playing Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Fire Emblem and Pokeymans all the time.

Vita if you hack it.
N3DSXL otherwise. N2DSXL will take this spot soon.

I agree with you, user.
However, you can make the same argument for the 3DS. Has a great library, still getting games, backwards compatible with DS games. Hack it, if you're into that.

I'm not saying the 3DS is better than the DS, just a thought.

Vita is getting dangerously close to it, and if they manage to make DS emulators run on it it will be officially the best handheld ever made.
Shame those morons at Sony managed to ruin such a goldmine.

Hacked PSP. Now it is the CFW n3ds. SOny had a chance with the vita but fucked themselves in the ass instead.

PSP was absolutely mindblowing when it came out. You could run PS1 games on it and emulate shit up to GBA and 4th generation home consoles, nevermind using it as a music and media player. In 2005 PSP did everything you previously needed an Xbox for.

DS

What a dumb question, OP.

GBA SP+3DS+VITA
The ultimate combo

name 10 amazing games for the DS

Love the design, but the DS Lite is objectively better because it has all that but also DS games.

>tfw hands are too large to play ds lite without hands hurting
Is the gameboy advance more comfortable? The SP?

No love for N-Gage here?

Spotted the 12 year old.

3DS is BC with 98% of DS games.

get a psp

...

This is what handheld consoles looked like in my day.

The WonderSwan and everyone who says anything else is absolutely retarded.

psp is overrated, most people praise it because its piss easy to mod but most of its best games are just watered down versions of its console counterpart.

2% of DS games use the gameboy cart slot? or is there something else that makes them not work on 3DS?

if this thing manages to get cracked open as hard as the 3DS did, it could be the best handheld so far with DS emulation and maybe NGC

The most aesthetic handheld ever made.

did the WonderSwan have a backlight?

What were they thinking with these buttons? I can't imagine playing platformers being fun on this. It looks cool though.

Teehee

∧this

New 3DS XL

>most of its best games are just watered down versions of its console counterpart.

is there a problem?

Yes, the stupidity of such statement.

not an argument.

Gameboy Advance SP.
PSP, but only if it's hacked.

it will nintendo crackers are autists

It's going to be the Switch once the current best gets out of the fucking way.

Neither is yours, faggot.

Not even a competition, it has real games like BotW, Mario Kart 8, rocket league and skyrim soon, a fifa game at 60 fps for the normalfags and a whole bunch of Nintendo exclusives coming up.

It's a handheld more powerful than the last gen consoles, playing something like Skyrim on the go will be amazing.

still havent proven me wrong.

ignoring backwards compatibility and looking solely at the games on the system itself, probably gameboy color

>No Switch as option

The Game Boy Advance wasn't that great. It didn't have X and Y buttons initially, no real backlight until rev. 2 of the SP, even lower resolution than the NES, and a pretty crummy sound chip. Listen to how mangled Vanilla Dome became.

GBA: [youtube.com/watch?v=troGQMXTClQ]

I have no need to prove you wrong when you don't even bring proofs to the discussion.
Now fuck off.

>still havent proven me wrong
KEK

Either PSP or DS, it felt like a place where popularity met with ease to develop for and we got a massive variety of games released. PS2 had the same thing. PS2 games were on average lower quality than ps1, but there were so many that it didn't matter because there was something for everyone.

In terms of libraries: DS > 3DS > PSP > GBA > Vita > Game Boy (original)
Including backwards compatibility: 3DS > Vita > DS > GBA > PSP > Game Boy (original)
VIta + n3DSXL master race

I prefer the slight curves of the New 3DS xl. The DSi looks sort of 80s but not in a bad way

>3DS > PSP
>GBA > Vita
Terrible opinion

This fucking thing

Without factoring backwards compatibility (because that's cheating), DS, followed closely by the original Game Boy.

>Thats cheating
No, it's not cheating, its functionality. Being able to play 2 hanheld's games in the same place is a huge bonus for how much use I'm getting out of a potential handheld or console

...

It is cheating because you're relying on the libraries of other platforms to justify a platform instead of the library of the platform you're trying to defend. The GBA has a shitty library of GBA games. Being able to play Game Boy and Game Boy Color games doesn't change that, it just tries to deflect attention away from the GBA's weak lineup.

3DS >= Vita > the rest
I personally think the 3DS and Vita are equally great, but I can understand people who don't think highly of the Vita. I play on handhelds primarily, so the majority of multiplats/ports on Vita are the versions I'll be playing.

The game boy
Anything else is underage territory

If I'm listing off the good games and good features of the console I'm at least mentioning that I can play a whole other console natively

PSP with CFW and 64 GB.
3DS with CFW and a R4 Card always in the slot.
A man can survive with that.

If backwards compatibility is cheating, then flash carts is DEFINITELY cheating.

Hacked Vita is the GOAT.
>free Vita games
>free PSP & PS1 games
>better portable emulation capabilities than any other handheld.

Hacked 3DS is a close second.
>free 3DS games
>free GBA games
>portable emulation, but not as good as a hacked Vita
>free DS games (if you get a DS flashcart)

Hacked or non-hacked? That makes a BIG difference.

Not hacked: DS, easily. Amazingly designed, feels fantastic, has the DS's library and the GBA's library, which are already two of the best singular libraries of all time.

Hacked: A tie between the Vita and the 3DS. It's not just that you can get every game for both it, and every in-line system for at least two generations back (3DS can do DS, GBA and GB, Vita can do PSP and PS1), it's also the ease at which you can get those games.
Especially on the 3DS. Freeshop means you don't even need to get to your PC to install new games, when you hack your 3DS, your 3DS itself becomes the one-stop shop for homebrew and piracy. Utility jumps from 7/10 to 11/10. It's amazing.

It would be swell if anything but that one Digimon game was in English.
It's so it can be played in portrait mode for old arcade games.

>initially
When did GBA ever have x and y buttons

I fucking loved the shape of the dsi xl.

I miss flipnote everyday

I meant to say "backlight initially" but somehow got mangled when I wrote the post (can't edit posts).

Point stands, GBA and its SNES ports kinda suck.

DS. 3DS may have backwards compatibility but it does ugly scaling on the game if you want it to be fullscreen. Plus the d-pad position on 3ds is unbelievably bad and causes me physical pain in prolonged usage.

The SNES ports are ass but GBA itself was pretty nice. It's easy to think it wasn't all that much even at the time until you realize that back then the thing that was driving portable computer technology to its edge wasn't masses of smartphones but the gaming consoles themselves. GBA was true to its name when it came out for being advanced system. Phones were only getting color displays as standard at the time, for comparison.

>t. Rodd

Are you joking?
The PSP grip and button layout is much smaller

I bought 4 of them in Japan, because they looked cool and were cheap.

Never have I encountered a worse console. It is an insult to video games.
Kill yourself.

>that fake picture
>that fake saturation
>that fake resolution
>doesn't show it running at 1FPS
The Wonder Swan is the worst console ever made.
