    Default Handhelds

    Inspired by Wolf's thread about what you'd do if a FF game came out for a handheld system.

    What kind of handheld systems do you own? I have two sets of Pokemon themed Game Boy Colors (one was my mom's), a Pokemon themed Game Boy Advance, and a blue Nintendo DS Lite. I only watched a girl play "Wario Land" on the original Game Boy when we were supposed to be asleep, and a guy mess around with a PSP at church. I'm hoping to get my hands on a 3DS in the Fall.

    Discuss.

    Had a gameboy pocket back in the day. Later upgraded to this purple-transparent gameboy color. Later on had a black gameboy advance which got destroyed by my brother, so I was later given a black gameboy advance SP. In high school I got a black DS Lite and a year later a PSP slim. Last Christmas my wife and I got a black and blue 3DS XL and are thinking of getting a vita someday too

    Needless to say, I enjoy handhelds. A LOT.

    I have a PSP 3000 and a PSVita. Locky owns a DS and a 3DS which means I can usually play a game on them when she's not doing absolutely nothing on Tomodachi life.

    I currently only have a PSP 2000. It's the Special Edition Crisis Core one.

    Transparent purple was pretty popular back in the day. I remember the N64 had a version in that color, too. I still have a controller that color. The control stick is a bit sticky.

    Awesome. What's with the random 000 numbers at the end of the PSPs? Do they mean anything or are they just there to add flavor?

    - Purple Game Boy Colour
    - Handheld NES
    - Silver Gameboy Advance SP
    - Nintendo 3DS
    - Playstation Vita

    I love my handhelds too. The last three on the list all get regular rotation. MissH is currently looking after my Vita while she ploughs through FFVII.

    No, it wasn't made by Nintendo. It was an independent company. The display isn't huge but it works just fine. It's got two bluetooth controllers as well so you can connect it to a TV and use it as a normal NES.

    Me jelly. That'd be cool to have.

    I've seen a lot of handheld mods of old consoles too. Namely one of the Nintendo 64. It looked pretty spiffy.

    Yeah means nothing. The first PSP was designated 1000, the second 2000 etc.

    We own a GameBoy Advance (somewhere), a GameBoy Advance SP, two DS's, a PSP and two 3DS's. Our 3DS's definitely get most use, but I might break out the ol' PSP and get some old school RPGs on the go.

    I used to have a big fat first generation PSP!!

    Until I got tired of carrying it around and replace it with my iPhone.

    It is still lying in a corner of my house. No loss in the weight from any angle.
