Favorite Nintendo Handheld
In the main system of things, there 4 Main Handheld Systems from Nintendo. The Gameboy, Gameboy Advance. Nintendo DS and Nintendo 3DS.
Many of these systems came with upgrades like the Gameboy Colour, the GBA SP, the 3DS XL etc by the games can still be played on all the formats.
Which one of these set of consoles was your favorite?
The GBA SP was my baby. so Gameboy Advance gets my vote.
It's really a toss-up between the Nintendo DS and Nintendo 3DS for me. But if I had to choose only one. I would go with the 3DS, because... it's current. Even though the DS had great games, the games for the 3DS were much better.

Wish GBC was an option. I just voted for Gameboy.
IMO that was the perfect time for Nintendo handhelds - a lot of nice ports and remakes but the handheld franchises were still in their prime. GBC has my favorite portable Pokemons and Zeldas so it wins.
Game Boy Color ftw. Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer! w00t! w00t!
Game Boy Advance SP AGS-101 model.
GameBoy Advance SP. It had some great Castlevania games plus a lot of bunch of great remakes.
Circle of the Moon is on Wii U now, brah. Aria of Sorrow was the best of the three. I've got a copy of Harmony of Dissonance floating around somewhere that I have no recollection whatsoever of buying...it just turned up in my duffel bag one day before I packed for a trip.
Probably 3DS because I can play my old DS games on it as well, but the GBA has a ton of great games on it too
I honestly can't decide, despite the floundering of their consoles, I feel that Nintendo's handhelds have actually been getting better and better with each new model. I'm probably going to give this to the DS, even if I don't count backwards compatibility with the awesome GBA, the DS library was surprisingly strong on its own merits. With that said, the 3DS has probably been my go-to-gaming device since I got one and the majority of games I'm looking into purchasing are for it.
True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
Current Mood: And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe. Maybe this year will be better than the last. I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself. To hold on to these moments as they pass...
I voted for Gameboy, but I also like the GBA. I would've chosen the GBA since it lets you play GB games in color, but the display of the GBA is such a pain in my opinion. Without perfect light playing with a GBA isn't much fun.
Are you confusing the GBA w/ the GameBoy Color? The GBA had it's own backlight, while the GBC was like the original GB & needed external light for playing.
Nope, I've never owned a GBC, so I can't say anything about that. The GBA SP has its own backlight (so I've heard), but the "normal" GBA has not. That's why you can buy lamps to attach to it, but I've read that they are nearly useless.
