The BEST Gaming Handhelds... (If you're PS Vita obsessed)

[@bryantwilson4731]

If they didn't screwed up the ps vita pricing and timing. It could be a massive success

[@AkaHoodie]

Nah what failed the vita was lack of games and proprietary memory card

[@VictorBRz]

​@@AkaHoodie and also the other reasons mentioned... Sony did a big L with it

[@MoeLester31]

Nah just a memory card

[@Just_Haider_]

Bro I couldn't find any good games on that thing

[@billyturner9930]

@@AkaHoodie The memory card 100% killed the console before it even launched.

[@atharvadate7345]

I had a PSP 3000 (never had a Vita) it was quite popular in India in the early 2000s, the high price of Vita really killed the potential. I really miss my PSP sometimes :(

I'm a Vita User I'll definitely enjoy watching this video

[@yogabudiwidiantoro3762]

NFS Most Wanted 2012 on PS VITA shows just how talented Criterion Games is at making games, they were able to bring the PS3 version of NFS Most Wanted 2012 to the PS VITA which surprised me.

[@c01onel]

Solution: Get bigger pockets But jokes aside, yeah that's one of the reason's why I've held off on the Steam Deck for so long even though some of my friends I know already have one, just don't see myself carrying that thing around a lot of the time. Definitely a device you just keep in your backpack then take it out when you're in the car or at the destination type of thing.

Having a steam deck this is exactly what I do unless I’m at home

[@simzy5874]

A jailbroken ps vita will change your mind being able to play ps1,GBA,psvita,Nintendo,PSP and even going back to Atari games but that’s not it you can basically emulate any console you want older than the ps vita

[@samuraiz198]

Even PS3 games?

[@gabrielsobrosa]

forget anything, we need to talk about the Tokyo Xtreme Racer gameplay video that dropped today

[@sfex3best]

This guy gets it i had same joy with this device.I absolutely agree the odin 2 mini is awesome its the closest thing to the xperia play back in day. It fits in pocket plays up to nintendo switch. You can play some pc games via modded winlators too although that side of it is a headache. The android experience is so good tho you can run back to back a switch game and a ps2 game switch around in seconds.

[@Mr-Yuki]

BlackPanthaa x RetroGameCorps collab when?

[@alexdamonwrites]

There have been a bunch of these portable consoles to come out over the last few years. Although they're a little bit ethically dubious, the hardware itself is particularly impressive for the price you pay for it. I think the Nintendo Switch (rather than the PS Vita) was a big influence as to why so many of them have spawned in recent years. Whether it's the ability to build your own game library or run custom firmware, their open-source nature makes them a really interesting platform to experiment with.

[@NJDJ1986]

AYN Odin 2 mini all the way! that should be recommended.

[@eyb0ss]

Also got to shout out the Retroid Pocket 5, aka budget Odin 2 OLED. I can play GT2 A-Spec, GT3, 4 and Spec II on the go and at a more manageable price. I can even remote play GT7 from anywhere so that's a bonus.

[@Nathgamer]

I'm so glad you mentioned the analogue sticks, to be honest if the gpdwin4 had horizontal inline analogue sticks like the Vita I would probably already own one. But I don't...

[@PSG51]

They should relaunch the Vita with todays handheld specs! Imagine how cool that would be... oh and a bigger screen too!

[@spoiler1828]

ngl I think a huge point for the psp was that you could put it into your pocket and that'd be it

[@SmallLegacy]

I like videos like this, like generally gaming related and not just about cars and racing games.

[@itssomeoneelse]

It's rare to see people taking large devices like Steam Deck or Ally out. Even at home, they still need a TABLE. Small devices are truly "handheld".

[@silverwolf5643]

You could bring Switch and Steam Deck together, you could play "Home" game on your steam deck when you're like in a hotel or long distance journey and stuff and you can play switch for more chill game, like lego games where you can play for like 10-30 min waiting for something and then lock in and get going

[@WiktorGaming595]

I have a PS Vita For many Years Now, Man what a Good Console!

[@dottyorb]

I've been looking at a Retroid Pocket 5 recently - it's not quite as powerful as the Odin 2 but it's still more than enough to upscale anything you throw at it other than switch, and it has an OLED screen and has the sticks on the bottom, which I prefer for handhelds.

[@dylansandoval9841]

Dude, you made a video on something I've been experiencing as well. I carry my Vita everywhere still and while ive played on my brothers Oled Steamdeck and its quite nice. I would never feel comfortable taking it with me like the Vita. I think ill look into the devices you showed cause I already play so many PS2 games on my laptop.

[@lincolndethomasis6602]

I would like to see Sony make a PS2 Classic handheld which we can also play PSP and Vita games on

[@shremk9100]

Valve is apparently rumoured to be working on x86 to ARM translation for Linux, so there's a solid chance the Steam Deck 2 could run on an ARM SoC.

The best thing I bought this year ! that I always wanted is the Steam Deck , and I bought the 1to Oled version one , man ! I'm playing Dirt 3 on it on a booted Windows 10 on it ! working super amazing , I'm installing NFS Payback as I write you this now , retro aspect of it is immersive ! but man , the future is bright if they make another one , powerful one ! also the Ps Vita is my favorite handheld ps console .. I play GTA 5 without any issue , online and single player on my booted w10 on it , also RDR1 & 2 , FIFA 24/25 lags sometimes , but as a fifa player i prefer playing on my main pc .. P.s : I even make music on my steam deck XDD using an interface audio and my guitar haha

Theo learnt the word "convoluted"

[@Windsore131]

I do have the PSP and not PS Vita way back then when it came out, but it has a screen problem for sure and it was volatile

[@Resolaibe_Breakers]

Nah, what really killed the ps Vita was the inexistence of an exclusive GOW game (like gow 1-2 for the ps2; god of Sparta and chains of Olympus for the psp; gow 3 and ascension for the ps3 etc

[@IcyChristo]

Please can someone remind of the name of the game at 8:08

I carry a phone with telescopic controller but yeah i cannot put them both in same pocket. Retroid pocket is a dream device but, not available in India :(

[@CaptainFALKEN]

I had the big Vita. Great system, had alot of potential, but Sony threw it under the bus and it could've been so much more. It just didn't have enough titles in my taste so I ended up selling it. And kept my PSP.

[@johnnypezona9513]

I would love to see another Playstation portable console. But I would love it to have a little bit bigger screen compared to the Vita. I wouldn't mind something with the screen size similar to my Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra. ✌️❤️

[@UrbanBackflip]

I can emulate PS2 and GameCube on my Nothing Phone 2. Ive been olaying most wanted 2005 and midnight club 3 remix the ps2 version as well. Its pretty solid. I use my DS4 controller. Takes a bit of setting up to get the rumble working on dolphin but on athersx2 it recognises it straight away.

[@MohamedAli-vu3bx]

Why don't you choose the phone, it is more economical than all of this, and buy an additional controller with it, and thus the experience will be very satisfactory, and there are many emulators on the phone, and yes we want a video of this ‏‪

[@jkliao6486]

PSP will ALWAYS be the best handheld for me. I never had a jailbreak vita where I can just download ROM from online, and limiting to only games I purchased and a not-so-comfortable holding position, Vita is way worse than the PSP.

Guys I need a little help. Since there is a huge sale going on for all the NFS games on steam, I am about to buy my 4 most favourite NFS games after MW and carbon. Which are: HP remastered, Rivals, Heat and unbound. Basically I need help with the in-game content. So is it worthy and absolutely necessary to buy DLC of these games? HP remaster doesn't seem to have any, but what about others? And my most concerning question would be, are all the M3 GTRs in unbound are included in base game or they are available only in DLC? Thanks in advance if you decide to help me! Also Merry Christmas 🎅🏻

Great arguments but certain markets the handheld devices are not worth it as be cheaper buy a Xbox series X with extra controller and more storage compared to a steam deck price here in south Africa

Still don't know why Sony discontinued the portable but now they want to make a PS5 handheld version

They should do portable that run all PS5 games, i do support that.

Let's just be straight up honest. The Portal SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. That's just the way it is. I wholeheartedly agree with you Theo on the PSP and Vita. They were fantastic and the Vita would be even more of a success than it is right now if Sony hadn't screwed up. Not sure how I feel about the Steam Deck though. Yes it looks WAY better than the Portal (again let's be honest), but I don't know. Yes you can ACTUALLY take it with you, but you still need an Internet connection to use it, like you do with the Portal. And for me, and I'm sorry to say this,, but physical media will ALWAYS be king. That's just how it is. Yes you can get into arguments about 'oh you don't own what you buy on physical media' and 'oh but you still have to download patches and updates' but at least you OWN the disc. Digital you own nothing, no matter where you buy it from. Even Steam to an extent.
