Favorite hand-held system?

What is your most favorite hand-held system? Such as for example: 3DS, PSP, etc.

Mine would be the 3DS. :thumbsup:

Gameboy Advance was amazing. Gameboy Color was pretty amazing too for what it was.
I've had a PSP since the day it came out.. I can honestly say I've only used it maybe a dozen times .

Pandemic, I enjoy the collaborative aspect of it versus trying to crush people.
But when I am in the mood to crush my enemies, see them driven before me and hear the lamentations of their women, I got whith Risk

I've had almost all of the different Gameboys before, 3DS XL, PSP and Wii U but my favorite, by far is the 3DS XL. That thing is so comfortable in your hand. With the 2DS, the consoles were a bit weirdly placed so your fingers could get tired quite fast but they've improved this on the 3DS. It is perfectly spaced out - the analog stick and the D-pad. It has absolutely incredible games like the Zelda remakes, Pokemon Sun/Moon, Pokemon Sapphire, Animal Crossing New Leaf, Fire Emblem franchise, Mario franchise and Mario Kart... I think that it has the best choice of games from all of the current consoles. None can come close to it and that's why it is still my favorite.

We shall see how many new games they add to the Nintendo Switch. I don't have it but I really liked some of the games that they've shown us at this year's E3.

My favorite handheld system was the PSP because I thought it was so cool you could practically play playstation anywhere. I used to take it everywhere and I played it all of the time but it ended up breaking and I haven't owned a handheld system since.

I have had a bunch of memories with my Nintendo DS. I used to play Mario kart DS on it for hours on end. It eventually led to visual damage on my eyes which I was an idiot to let that happen, but I remember having a lot of fun with the races and such. I wish I played a lot less so I could have saved my eyes though.

My favourite handheld gaming system would have to be the 3DS. I first got one when I was 12 and I ended up being ranked top 100 in the world for Mario Kart 7. That was actually what got me into gaming and compelled me to get Mario Kart 8.

If I had to consider only their native games, I'd probably go with the GBA, but right now my answer is the 3DS, hands down. It's the first Nintendo handheld device with other functionalities than running cartridges, and, well...you can get every game from any of the previous consoles, potentially. I've probably already said this, but that's an amazing fact nonetheless.

I loved playing Pokémon games with my Gameboy SP. It pretty much was a part of my childhood and I would be happy to be able to play again for the nostalgia. Nowadays, I'd say my favorite handheld console has to be Nintendo 3DS. My mother bought me one as a birthday gift, and then I knew about Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate coming to the console so I was very hyped for it. In the meantime I played Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate and spent a very long time playing.
I also played Pokémon X and Animal Crossing: New Leaf.

I only had a GBA, so I guess it's that by default. Well I had a PSP for a while but I only had it for a few weeks before I gave it to my brother, so I guess that doesn't count. I still remember playing the GBA for hours on end, playing Pokemon games while playing those short ones like Battle City and Mario-lite when I get bored with Pokemon. It was fun since I didn't have a PC growing up so it's the most I could play that was 100% mine.

Darn, this is a hard choice for me because I grew up playing both my Sony PSP and Nintendo DS pretty much equally.

I really liked my PSP because of the fact that it was a multimedia machine and not only did I get to play games with really great graphics (for a handheld) but I also used it to listen to music, watch movies and shows, as well as browse the internet on it.

On the other hand, the DS had just so many more games that I have fonder memories of. Not to mention the fact that I still own and play the original DS which means my library of games isn't limited to just DS games but all Game Boy games as well. Just for that alone, I would have to say that the original DS is my favorite handheld.

I don't have one currently. But I loved the Gameboy advanced and the Nintendo DS. The gameboy was a pain though, you had to play it with a light over it, I still loved it of course. But when the DS came out I was over the moon since I could play my gameboy games in it and the DS games. I have fond memories with both, I'm considering getting a 3DS soon.

Play station portable. My favorite hand held system was PSP. It portable I easily slut it in my pocket and take it to any were. I played it anywhere home, training place, on cab.

Soulwatcher · Jul 13, 2017

I would say that it was my PSP. I loved playing SOCOM on my PSP. And I could take it anywhere with WIFI and play. :smile: But my Samsung Galaxy S8+ is my new handheld device. The graphics are far superior the the PSP Vita and the selection of games is much better too. I think that the handhelds are a dying breed.

I don't use a handheld system when I feel like gaming by hand I just use my phone. It has games on it I lik. I think it is just one of the ways to play games that are readily available. I wll also game on the Kindle It has plenty of action.

Thundercatte · Jul 13, 2017

My favorite hand-held system is definitely the DS. I have great memories with the Gameboy, but I have even more with the DS since it allowed for backwards compatibility with those games. Not only that, but I remember how I thought the DS was so cool for have two screens instead of one, and how we could play wirelessly with our friends instead of lugging around some huge cable.

My favorite used to be the Gameboy Advanced not until the Sony Play Station Portable was launched and stole my heart away first I didn't need to buy batteries to use it I just basically charge it and it has back light this alone was awesome, another reason was my mom didn't like us playing video games on TV set so I could just charge it and still use it during lights outs, I traveled with it played music videos, music, I even used the internet on it. It was just a bumper package the love became stronger when they released GTA Liberty City stories on it, then I had only played Vice City on PC. PSP saved lives.

My favorite handheld is the 3DS, although i also loved the Gameboy as a kid.

JoeMilford · Jul 14, 2017

I must admit that Gameboy is my favorite handheld, even today--this may have a great deal to do with the fact that I am addicted to playing Tetris on it, but, alas, it is true. My girlfriend's son loves it as well, and he is 9, but he will play on it before he will play a game on an Iphone or whatever.

PSP will hold a special place in my heart. It was my second handheld system (my first was a Gameboy micro) I played Monster Hunter, Grand Theft Auto titles, Disgaea titles, and a whole lot others. It also emulated Gameboy games so I never really played with my Gameboy anymore when I found out about that one.
