The Handheld are my main option because of portability, so my favorite consoles when I was a kid. Incredible worlds in the palm of my hand :3

[@Gilhelmi]

when I was young, I got a GameBoy. I had a friend who had a GameGear. At first, I was amazed with the GameGear. But then I realized that it took more batteries and lasted far less. I knew that my parents would never buy that many batteries so I completely lost interest in it. Even now, I am sure that battery life is what made the GameBoy a huge success.

[@watcherman222]

IKR? We have a Game Boy & Game Gear. We would always play the Game Gear with an AC adapter and we rarely did that with the Game Boy.

[@matttyler9963]

Pokemon did alot to help that

[@BerserkJeffy]

Let's not forget the crappy-quality screen on the game gear. Sure it was impressive at the time, but go look at it now..

[@howtoinstructvs3]

The game boy and the DS both last with their batteries, they have aged beautifully.

Ironic how Nintendo killed GBA compatibility for the DS because "it'd make the system too big" and only made their handhelds bigger since.

[@PsychomachineryEBM]

Shittendo logic is stupid

[@enzosgames324]

imagine if they released a Switch: Legacy console with support for switch carts, N3DS and 3DS carts, DS carts, and GB/GBA carts. It would outsell anything they’ve ever made, probably.

[@Dwayneff]

and now, the 3ds is one of the biggest homebrew beast around, compatible with GB, GBA, DS, 3DS, PS1, N64.

[@BringZeWubs]

I have such a connection with Nintendo handhelds. I really wish they'd go back to stuff like the GBA, especially if they brought back the Pokemon pixel style

[@PhantoRoyce]

The GB line is honestly legendary. I was born in 97 but I got a bunch of my older cousins hand me downs and one of them was an original gameboy and what seemed like a million games. I learned how to read at an early age out of spite because I couldn’t beat Pokémon yellow

[@TsubasaGeass]

Nintendo handhelds have been my go to for years starting with the GBA and have always loved their design and form factor.

[@tenelum9865]

I think it’s ridiculous how Nintendo made the GameBoy Light in Japan and when they were creating the GBA they were like, “Should we implement a screen that can actually be seen without imploding people’s eyeballs with a backlight like in the GBL? Nah. Let’s fuck over everyone who wants to play.”

The gameboy games made such a difference in my life and watching the B roll for this compilation with ads, promotional material and footage from this era makes my heart warm.

All this forethought into the Gameboy Advance. All this detailed planed to the tiniest detail. And yet it didn't have backlight or a headphone jack. Sure, let me try to watch Pokemon on a public school bus while holding the system super close to hear, and hoping I got good lighting.

[@emacsterm2949]

The original had a headphone jack. I believe maybe you’re mixing it up with the SP? Still the lack of a backlight was pretty silly

I have to say, I prefer Nintendo’s handheld consoles than their home consoles by a little bit. The game quality just had this charm, especially when it came to the GBA and it’s beautiful graphics. I’m happy the Switch is both a handheld and home console since they could merge the philosophies of both consoles, making games that are not only enjoyable, but also easy to pick up and play.

[@ThatWolfWizard]

I remember as a kid, me and friends theorized that the Nintendo DS was short for Dual screen or drawing system (cause of the stylus) but Developer System!?!?! That makes it sounds like a dev kit. I know that wasn't the only shortening meaning for DS but still.

[@motbus3]

Pirating Nintendo games in South America was common not only because piracy was a thing but because Nintendo made zero effort to sell their products legally there. They were even wrongly priced. GB games would cost much more than 2 genesis games. More than that, many people didn't speak English back then, so many pirate versions were patched so people could understand the game. When Nintendo requested r4 to not be sold, they were ask if that could harm other consumers that used the product for other things. As Nintendo failed to proof r4 exclusive usage for piracy it was reject in Brazil and Argentina.
