I’m fairly new to handhelds and just bought one on a whim probably a year ago now but it has become one of my favourite things.
There are so many options that I’m hoping people here can post pictures and give me their opinions on some that I might have overlooked.
My two most used dedicated handhelds are my original 3DS and Analogue Pocket.
I bought everything on the eshop for the 3DS that I wanted during its final week and then modded it to hell the day after. I use it for all DS stuff and then anything Gameboy related that’s not on the Switch already, or that I don’t have physical.
I got my Analogue Pocket on a whim after seeing they were doing clear plastic colors. No idea how I learned about it, as I didn’t have an Analogue product before. So I set an alarm on my phone, went to the link when my alarm went off, was able to add a Jungle Green Pocket to my cart, and checked out with no issues. I wanted Jungle Green to match my N64 and shell swapped Switch. Ended up getting a 512gb micro SD and putting something like 60,000 games on it. Played Chrono Trigger for the first time using the Pocket, so for that alone it was worth it. Plus I can finally retire my Gameboys to glory on the top of the game shelf.
