Dude that opening timeline is so in-depth it's crazy. Went frame by frame just to see all the different devices and man you put all sorts of devices I've never heard of, it's just awesome. I love the small edits in your jokes. 10/10 video please do more

[@CarletonTorpin]

Seconded.

[@randybobandy9828]

The fact candy crush is still popular is wild to me. I remember playing it back in 2013 and already feeling like I was late to the game. I got bored of it after like 600 levels. I can't imagine how many levels they have now.

I'm thankful to have a Steam Deck 🙏🏻♥ Over the years, my gaming stuff disappeared.. One day I saw that Valve was creating its own console. I didn't think much of it. At that time, I just looking for ways to play my old games on the go, cause I miss them so much. Than that one faithful day, when I saw a video showcasing its emulation potential, that was it. I knew I needed that machine. Fast forward to today, I'm re-living my best childhood memories ♥ I could talk about my favourite old classic titles forever 😄 I love my Steam Deck 👑

[@LambdaMiscellaneous]

I never knew about GP2!!! It seemed way ahead of its time. Great video btw

[@OMaMYdG]

I think this is an excellent video. My one critique is that you pretty much in passing mentioned The Game Gear and I feel like it's importance is so overlooked. Yes the Gameboy outsold it by a long shot but the game gear sold pretty decent and was around for 7 years.

[@Saved-by-Grace]

I didn't get a handheld until I was in my late 20s with the PSP 3000, but man was that a fun system! After that I had a Vita, and now a Switch OLED. I never knew hanhelds dated back so far

[@dontmindme2044]

Oh I actually have a GP2X! I mean, it's currently not working, but I've been meaning to fix it for a long time. It's my dad's old, actually, and he was a massive nerd back in the day, which means that the console is filled to the brim with old games. I'm pretty sure that he downloaded every single game on it that he managed to pirate, because of the super low quality of some of them. I really should try get it working again, because I think that there might even be some lost media in there Edit: I got the motivation to check it, and it was actually much easier to fix it than we thought (it was actually my dad who now fixed it, but atleast it works now)

As 32 year old (man I’m getting old) who grew up with game boys and ds … Nintendo is legendary but my favourite was the psp and the only one that comes close is the steam deck playing full aaa titles as they are released on the go and Sony are backing it all there first party pc releases are deck verified

I feel that the 3ds XL was the last portable console to actually fit in your pocket (and even then it's a little bit of a stretch) Even the switch mini is abt 8 inches long, whereas the 3ds XL is 6 inches

There’s a new steam type system out I forget what it’s called honestly but as a bit better processing power and screen quality but idk I like of the steam deck looks oh and the new thing also has longer battery life but considering how long the steam can last that’s not a deal changing effect. Idk also the price point it’s much more with it at this point to go with the steam deck than pay more for a maybe slightly better system. And this is so far I’m sure steam will update and make new releases as well but I do love the steams. I just got a miyoo mini plus because the size is acceptable even with other pocketed items and I still get a great amount of awesome fun games with the power it needs to be a fantastic handheld system for these games . Exactly what it’s for it does well like it should.

[@LITTLE1994]

[@suntannedduck2388]

Very good coverage (not sure if you skipped the Neo Geo Pocket or I missed it. Actually where was the Gamecom or Virtual Boy or RZone. The handhelds I care about for tech potential get ignored because oh sales even though that had great features the others did. Gamecom was more interesting for its features of the OS beside it's games, the Ngage was gaming and phone hybrid, the Zodiac and Gizmondo have things built in that the PSP had separate, separate peripherals for and they were PDA/Pocket PCs very impressive for the time and notable sales flops that interesting stuff. Oh well disappointing but it is what it is with the script or video length I guess even though they are interesting systems then the DS/PSP are for having what the PSP can do and more in them but probably not compared to the GP systems). Otherwise nice covering earlier eras not just Gameboy/Game and Watch, the GP32). Sad you didn't cover the Panasonic Jungle being cancelled even (the precursor to the Android cloud handhelds of today it and OnLive for 2010 would have been an interesting thing to detail). Also quite the quick lead up with 2000/2010s I didn't like that but got to have it be 20 minute length I guess? You even skipped the Tapwave Zodiac, Ngage and Gizmondo sigh ok then. Even J2ME cellphone games. The GP systems especially the tv support (Nomad/PSP are also capable so nothing new) but Linux before Android ones of now wow. Otherwise you have your GPD and other Pocket PCs before the Aya Neo or Steam Deck. A good video but you missed some I mean the UMPC or the other DS/PSP (the other 3 that have notable features) competitors I think we're worth covering.

[@cryptocsguy9282]

Handheld console gaming is like a bad joke with the exception of Nintendo stuff and the PSP :( I find it incredible how over the last 40 years all handheld consoles besides those have failed because of ridiculous business decisions and bad 1st/3rd party support (I hope the steam deck will be a success)
