Favorite Nintendo Handheld

[Aulayna]

GameBoy Advance, mostly for the absolutely ridikonulous amount of time I sank into Leaf Green and Sapphire, but also because of Metroid Zero Mission.

A very close runner up is the Nintendo DS.

SP

GBC was the advanced GB. Had I included it I would have had to post GBA SP, DSi etc. So I limited it to just sets of consoles.

The GBC had a sizable library of games that were not playable on the Gameboy (as the OP suggests).

DS because it's backward-compatible with GBA (an awesome library to have access to), and because even though the 3DS may have some better games, I never ever use the 3D function so it kinda defeats the point.

DS is the PS2 of handhelds: it has a great library, and has the added advantage of compatibility with the games from another (maybe even better) library.

Though Nintendo's handhelds seem to get better and better each gen. 3DS could beat DS at this pace.

I love my 3DS sooooo much, but it would have to be the Gameboy Colour, that thing went everywhere with me back in the day. I voted GBA though.

Also, guys, I totes didn't know until now the 3DS was backwards compatible. *Locky Blonde Moment*

I'm going to go with 3DS, but this is mostly because I had very limited experience with the handhelds prior to now. I mean, I owned a Gameboy Color and GBA as a kid, but I played Pokemon, Yugioh, Chain of Memories, and a few Dragonball games. I didn't really get to experience much of the library because I would rather get games for home console back then. I've branched out a lot more with the 3DS and Vita. The 3DS has a lot going for it too that I like now and would have loved as a kid. The streetpass thing is pretty simple, but it also really makes me want to carry around my 3DS with me. As a kid, it would have given me something to play and look forward to when going out with my parents to boring places as well. Such a neat little system.
