Top 10 Handheld Gaming Devices

Better track down your link cables and some AA’s. Join www.WatchMojo.com as we countdown our picks for the Top 10 Handheld Gaming Devices. For this list we had to add some stipulations. Every entry must have been designed as a gaming device first, so you won’t find any smartphones on the list. Additionally, re-releases such as the PSP Go or Gameboy Pocket are included with the original version of the handheld to keep it fair. That being said let’s get to our first pick.

I never understood why Mark from Classic Game Room would often get upset by WatchMojo using his footage. Sure they didn't ask him, but they're crediting his videos in every clip. Considering most of this video is pretty much CGR, it promotes his channel a great deal.

[@ameya193]

Ah, I remember getting my first handheld console when I was a kid, a red Gameboy Advance SP. I instantly fell in love with it and the games... Oh the games were brilliant. Pokémon, The Incredible Hulk, Spider-Man, the list is endless... One day when I was in a plane to visit my aunt. After playing for a half hour or so I tucked in my Gameboy in one of those small nets they have at the front of your seat. I must've fallen asleep after that because when getting off I completely forgot about it. I remembered about it when I reached my aunt's house and my uncle and dad went back to the airport to see if they could possible get it back. No luck. I felt horrible the entire time I was there. Luckily, I still had all of my cartridges of games in my bag. Then about a few months later I think, my dad surprised me with a new one which was gray instead of red. Didn't give a damn about the color, I was too shocked to even care! I still have it to this day and that was around 11 or 12 years ago. Good times man, good times...

[@jponz85]

My favorite was the regular gameboy advance. I loved playing street fighter alpha on it and some other games. Truly great times...

[@somedeerboi]

exactly except... the ps vita isnt having major titles released this year =(

[@mdluk199]

+Deven R. Depends on your taste in games. I simply don't like Nintendo games and I have tried too. The PSP was the first handheld that had games I enjoyed like Syphon Filter, GOW, GTA and Metal Gear. The Vita improved on the PSP's hardware in every way and it has a library of games that no other handheld could match. It's mind blowing to play Uncharted and KillZone on a tiny console that fits in your hand. The Vita still has lots of good Indies and remote play is cool and if Sony reduce the price of PlayStation Now that will extend it's life also. Sony have said there will be no successor to the Vita so as far as handhelds go I will be out of the market. Touchscreen controls on phones are a joke and like I said previously Nintendo games hold no interest to me.

[@mdluk199]

+Deven R. I accept that but as you say Nintendo games aren't to everyone's taste.

I miss being a kid. Back when a handheld game system was amazing to bring to school.

[@ciggy.fe11]

Now they confiscate it, well for my school

[@GCJACK83]

I grew up on both the GameGear and Game Boy. I then moved on to the GBA and PSP, followed by the DS Lite, and I gotta say, of all five I find the DS Lite to be the best of them. Fits nicely in the hand and in the pocket. I usually have both slots occupied by games.

Where is the Atari Lynx? Not even in honorable mentions?

And the gameboy should not be number 2 it perfomed bad even for its time beign very big without colors and no backlightthe lynx and game gear were much superior

[@edstar83]

[@lunatpr5594]

@@thetabbyguy921 yes, but it did have a much better battery life

[@Josh-ut4wv]

@@thetabbyguy921 the whole reason it is there is it was the handheld market of the 90's just like the game and watch was the handheld makret of the 80's as the gameboy got only improvements 7 years after it came out with the pocket, light, and color with it getting a successor in 2001. It was the first console to pass the 100 million market and was the 7th console to get the title of the best selling game console of all time which it kept until the mid to late 2000's and is still is number 3 on the best selling video game consoles of all time. While the gamegear only sold around 10 million and had its battery issues and the lynx made a bit over 1 million doing slightly better than the 5200. So while it was underpowered the Gameboy out did everyone else by a land slide.

[@doriphor]

The Ghost Gamers I understand and agree but the 3DS is, in my opinion, much more liked and is the best selling current gen system.

+janidoe4561 How is it not? It was a huge success and had tons of games on it. It got exclusive Metal Gear Solid games, exclusive God of War games and tons of others. 3DS has Nintendo exclusives and some RPGs

[@FavJam]

PSP was the best handheld console for me. i've also had gameboy and nintendo advance.

[@abu269]

Agreed... I also own a few Nintendo handhelds but they never really made any good games for a more adult audience. Zelda games were the only games that really appealed where as the PSP raised the bar in terms of power, capabilities and a good range of titles to suit all ages!

[@Univerzion]

Yeah, I loved my PSP. Too bad it broke from my cousins.

[@Univerzion]

Sharan Srinivas Yeah, my one cousin made it fall off the railing on my porch and the LCD screen got f***ed up. My gram got it fixed (for $100) and then his brother somehow broke it and didn't tell me. I was so pissed.

[@tresfordays9644]

The PsVita deserved to be higher on this list, it such an amazing system, Shame it never took off

[@g2ltt733]

The reason it fail is because the memory card price was too expensive and the game doesn’t get enough support so it lead to lagging and bug when it first got released!
