For me it's the PSP, easily.
Not only is it easy to crack at home, it also has a weird level of mobility.

Some insane madman programmed his PSP to read his insulin levels, that's not a joke.

UMDs will forever have a place in me heart.

 

[Artistic]

Advance SP.

 

[LavitzSlambert]

Nintendo Switch, and it's not even close.

 

[Cert.in.Death]

DS Lite

 

[Boralf]

My cock.

 

[MicTyson]

The Switch? Lol I can play all Switch games for free with better performance with the whole Steam library on a Steam Deck. And I don't have to pay 50 bucks to play PS3/360 games on it either.

 

[MrA]

philips in2it

 

[rodrigolfp]

The Deck and/or the others handheld PCs as they can run the games from almost all those handheld consoles + PC games.

 

[kunonabi]

New 3DS base model is easily the best handheld ever made. DS and Neo geo pocket would be 2 and 3.

 

[kevboard]

so why are there 3 different GBAs on that list but only 1 PSP?

and why the 3DS and 2DS which are the same hardware, but not the New 3DS and New 2DS which have a way faster CPU and are actually tangibly different (even having a handful of exclusive games)
also no GameBoy Color even tho it has exclusive games, while the GBA SP is just a different form factor and a screen change

 

[Dacvak]

If I consider historical precedent, I'd say gameboy. Otherwise probably Switch 1 or maybe DS.

PSP is a big honorable mention though.

 

[Coloress_Kafka]

Steam Deck plays every PSP game I want in better quality and has a bunch of titles I can play from the PS360 era. I'll never get over having Fallout 3 on the go.

 

[ByWatterson]

It's Gameboy, I mean what are we doing here

 

[Sooner]

Virtual Boy, obviously

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Steam Deck easily considering how versatile is and how you can grab cheap steam keys.

[Games Bookstore]

I really hoped the Vita wouldve been a success. Great hardware for its time, had a lot of fun with it initially, but first party support became non existent after a short period of time

 

[HRK69]

PSP for me but it's tied with Game Boy Color

Both are a thing of beauty

 

[Ceadeus]

GameBoy Color, it had the biggest impact on me. It's pure nostalgia

 

[Pasta la Vista]

None of them. The only reason I ever played games on handheld was for games exclusives for them. Never liked portables, they were only an ends to the means for me.

For example, I would never play Dark Souls, GTA, any FPS on a portable unless it was the ONLY way to play them.

F*ck off, nerd.

F*ck off, nerd.

you are a fake PSP fan if you only include 1 PSP choice but 3 GBA choices

 

[danklord]

With the ability to play all switch games, classic nintendo titles, and more to come it's clearly Switch 2. Nothing can stop this train.

Use the "other" vote, you insufferable sod.

 

[intbal]

 

[kevboard]

Use the "other" vote, you insufferable cunt.

2 different 3DS versions, 3 GBA versions, 2 Switch versions... only 1 PSP version...

 

[TexMex]

SP is probably my favorite. The "New" Nintendo 3DS is really awesome though.

 

[rodrigolfp]

I would never play Dark Souls

You would replay it and on the go.

I'm not fake.
In fact, I'm more trill than Bun B.

 

[Sinozen]

Objectively the Steam Deck because it plays almost everything. Although I miss pocket handhelds. Smaller is better.

 

[Syphon Filter]

gameboy advance. especially the sp model.

AGS-101

 

[Jacobson]

damn, that disc can kill a person

 

[Jinzo Prime]

IMHO, it's the DS Lite. Can play all the exellent GBA games and the insanely deep DS library, and it's compact, pocketable, and had good battery life. I miss my little DS

 

[Mibu no ookami]

Gameboy, easily.

Pokemon and Zelda Link's Awakening were two goated games that even til this day most games struggle to give you that feeling of really being in a fantasy world quite like they did.

GBA would probably be my 2nd choice because of Metroid Fusion and Zero Mission.

Next would probably be the PSP. Lumines, LocoRoco, Syphon Filter Dark Mirror and Logan's Shadow... phenomenal...

Switch 2 doesnt play all switch games.

 

[p_xavier]

Swirtch 2 by far.

 

[Rush2112]

despite the massive, highly biased nintendo overhype on this board, steam deck leads in votes.

 

[GigaBowser]

switch 2 and its nort even close

 

[El Muerto]

PSP for me. What a library. Everything about it was great, controls, screen, software, themes, just the overall aesthetic. Once modded you can do some cool stuff and have even more games to play.

 

[Pasta la Vista]

You would replay it and on the go.

Seems like the absolute worst way to play those type of games. I need more than 15-30 min to make any meaningful progress.

 

[yogaflame]

Its always the first game boy. Second for me is PSP.

 

[Pasta la Vista]

Swirtch 2 by far

Is this the proper use of R? GigaBowser thoughts?

 

[GigaBowser]

You might be too modest to say so GigaBowser but it's clearly you. Keep up the good work.

Bro, the Go was SO gimped!

Respect the OG. Without Game Boy you wouldn't have any of these other upstarts.

I can't believe how cool the packaging for the Gameboy was.

 

[Ozzie666]

Anyone voting Steam deck or Switch should just walk out of the thread. Not true handhelds, one is a portable PC, one is a bit closer. But the software is not uniquely made for a handheld experience even on Switch.

The last true hand helds were the 3DS and Vita. Get this portable PC and consoles out of here.
