The PSP and Vita with the Gameboy Advance. Best portables. Vita is a personal preference. I know it's not for everyone.

I think PSP is the greatest handheld, I like Vita and GBC.
>>
I love my Vita!
>>
>>382391007
3DS. Such a great library. GBA comes close though.

I don't see the hype for the Vita though. I loved P4G and Gravity Rush, but 99% of the library didn't appeal to me. Hotline Miami and Zero Escape were good too, but I had already played them on other systems. If anyone lives in California and wants to buy a Vita lmk

GBC. PSP and the DS get honorable mentions.

Anyone who says GBA should fucking kill themselves.

>>382391812
Got something against GBA anon?
>>
>>382391705
That's a lie.
With Henkaku is the ultimate handheld because it can play PSP, VITA, PS1 games, PSP and VITA homebrew and emulators.
>>
Neo Geo Pocket Color.

I was just playing some Match of the Millennium earlier today and the control stick blows every other handheld out of the water. Only thing that holds it back is no backlight, but I just installed my own.
>>
>>382391007
PSP is good, not because of its games, but because it's a great portable emulation device
GBA is the best though

How does the PS1 games look? The PSP just stretches the 4:3 aspect ratio.

By your logic, 3DS should be the best handheld because it can play 3DS, DS, GBA, GBC, GB, NES, SNES, Game Gear, Mega Drive, and homebrew games.

It's obvious that we're talking about the console's own game library when factoring in how good they are, otherwise every old console would be made obsolete by its successor.
>>
>>382391007
Switch

And BotW is best handheld game

What, the shitty glossy PSP ports of FF with broken fucking balancing and ugly fonts, that's impossible to emulate on a mobile phone?
Fire Red and Leaf Green were great and Emerald kept me occupied for years after Gen 4 because of the battle frontier.

The best versions of 2D Final Fantasy are the originals on SNES, or the DS remakes. The PSP ports are shit, but the GBA versions were overwhelmingly the worst.

You have shit taste in everything. Just because the GBA was your first console doesn't mean it's good.

Dude, the FF ports of 1-4 on GBA had just as fucked fonts and balancing, and 5/6 looked and sounded like ass on the GBA.

>Being 13 and being able to play Link to the Past and SMW on the go was amazing, you underage faggot
Platformer ports sucked due to screen crunch.

>>382392760
The only "best" version of a FF game on DS is 4, and even then it runs like ass compared to PC.

Not even close.

It's true. Why you fuckers Being mad at what Nintendo themselves have said. Fucking children.

Yeah, I should know since I bought them on PSP and Vita, but there's still games that didn't get ported, like Metal Max 3/2R, Bangai-Oh, SaGa 2/3 and other stuff.

>>
>>382392848
You and I could be friends, Vita + DS lite is what I have and a psp hacked but the button PCB board is busted, I just get the games for vita since it's far and away better in every way. The shitty psp screen is covered by plastic that ages. (I've hacked and repaired a few) and scratches easily.

My vita 1000 screen doesnt have a screen protector and doesn't have a scratch at all, I take care of it though.

Analog on my psp 1000 I can't stand it, it's so cheap feeling after using vitas great sticks.

Vita.
It's probably the only console in the last generation I actively supported. The amount of games that clicked with me on it was surprising as hell, and I hope a successor is announced because otherwise I'll just go back to pirating everything.

Once I find a decent Vita that can be hacked I'll probably pick it up and pirate all the unlocalized shit too.

Vita and 3ds are far from the best handhelds. Even the DS and PSP were better than them, let alone really good handhelds like GBA.

>>
>>382394717

I don't see my self buying a Ps4 unless I can come across one for $75.
It seems tempting though as I legitimately want to play the Nanatsu no Taizai, Little Witch Acadamia, and Is It Wrong To Pick Up Chicks in a Dungeon? games. They're all seemingly using the same engine and focus on brawlers, which legitimately looks fun.

>>382394809

Are you sure you aren't tainted with nostalgia?
>>
>>382394809
The DS is much, MUCH better than the GBA. It's not even close.

>Can play psp games

>>
>>382394849

That's pretty cool, someone embedded a screen in the original Xbox controller.
>>
>>382394809
I'm 29, I had a Game Gear, GBC, GBA, DS, PSP, 3DS and Vita.
Saying that the GBA was even remotely as good as the GBC or the DS is laughable, but it's true that the DS is vastly better than the 3DS, PSP and Vita are more or less on the same level but only someone who actually can play their libraries to the fullest can tell.
>>382394932
I'm kind of in the same situation really, problem is I'm hardly at home so I wouldn't have much time to play, I'm really too much of a handheld guy and I'm not too thrilled about buying a PS4 when I can already play a lot of those games on PC and I'm not really interested in the other exclusives, it will be hard to swallow if Sony really doesn't make a new handheld.

DS/DS Lite

Especially the Lite. The DS Lite may be the finest designed handheld ever made in my eyes. It fit perfectly in your pocket. The screens were the same size. It came out at a point where smaller games on handhelds were still a thing and we got all kinds of awesome new entries and re-releases from big and small companies alike.

It was the system before mobile ruined everything. It had JRPGs galore, great 2D stuff, experimental stuff, great Nintendo support, great third party support. It had everything.

It's not just the greatest handheld imo, but one of the best systems ever made.
>>
>>382391007
why is vita voted more over psp? psp was and is the best handheld ever made, despite UMDs being shit and smartphones happening.
