>huge library
>fuck loads of ports of classic games
>backlit
>can play gb and gbc games
Literal gaming perfection
The NES gba sp is the sexiest handheld ever made.
you forgot
>perfect aesthetic square shape when folded
>satisfying clicky d-pad and buttons
the only downside of the sp is no headphone port
>No headphone jack
Makes me want to kill myself.
DS Lite is even better, every DS and GBA game
Isn't there an adapter for the charge port?
couldn't play GB/GBC games, which is a bummer, but DS+GBA is an insanely strong library that blows GB/GBC+GBA out of the water
>backlit
only some were. most looked like shit by todays standards. still better than the non-lit screen of gba OG
The SP is up there, but I think we can all agree that the DSi is the pinnacle of handheld gaming. I legitimately pity you if you've never enjoyed one.
*DS lite
I busted mine out the other day and it's hilarious how bad the screen is. I can't believe we actually enjoyed that shit. It's literal garbage now.
I can't stress how good the d pad is on the SP. I don't think any other nintendo console has one as good as this. Shit, I want to get an AGS-101 so bad but fuck the ebay prices.
not anymore, dethroned by 3DS
>Can't even play GBA
DSi is shit
Only 101/IPS models. 001s are ass.
i got one for about 70$ last year
>*DS lite
>cheap hinge that commonly breaks
>mushy buttons that end being unresponsible moderatly fast
sorry, but i rather get a phat DS, than that fragile princess.
>randomly buy a SP used in Gamestop 1 gorillion years ago
>lucked into the 101
I didn't even know it was worth an extra shit until semi-recently.
>huge library
>fuck loads of ports of classic games
>rumblepak
>can play dvd and ps1 games
yeah i just now learned there were mutiple sp models
PS3 fat is the pinnacle though as it plays PS1/PS2/PS3.
What the FUCK were they thinking?
the first wave of ps3's were too good. Shame about the library though.
And it's also one of the most unreliable consoles ever made that can YLOD on you at any moment.
I miss mine.
>had the GB
>had the GBC
>Felt bad about asking my parents for the GBA
>Always jealous about my friends enjoying GBA titles like Advance Wars and Golden Sun while I replayed WarioLand 3 for the millionth time
*blocks your path*
I know, I live in fear every time I turn mine on. However, I added an extra fan to the front, a SSD swap to replace the hot/loud HDD and I clean it pretty regularly so I feel good about it's chances for now.
Apparently, you can reball the board with good solder and correct most of the problems.
nogaems
It has more games than the PS4 and the Xbox though, especially if you're a PCfag and have 99 percent of the Xbox/PS4 games already.
user you can't just mesh random words together.
Plus the modding scene nowadays are insane.
I need to get me one of the new shells and an IPS screen to upgrade my 001.
Or just upgrade the AGB I bought a year ago.
Or both.
>be me 10yo in 2002
>ask parents for gamecube
>no
>ask parents for gameboy
>no
I still hate them for it lmao I just wanted mario sunshine you fucking niggers
i need to clean mine, all the cracks are full of probably years worth of general gunk
The advantage of the Gameboy Advance over the SP was the replaceable batteries, so if you had a long road trip or plane ride you could bring extra batteries and play for hours.
Aside from the left dpad which can be annoying after a while, it really is a kino device.
It has doom eternal
That reminds me of my GameGear
>Needs 6 fucking batteries
>Can only play for a couple of hours before all 6 batteries are exhausted
That fucking thing hogged energy like no other.
>had a shitty madcatz tier kit for my GBA, rechargable battery included
>could swap the rechargable battery for regular batteries in a pinch
it was truly awesome but the lack of backlight really hurts. i would take a few hours of SP at night over a OG gba and a stupid light attachment
>no back compat
>full of indie shovelware trash and pii u ports
>paid online
>stick drift
>battery dies in 10 minutes in handheld mode
the switch is garbage
>it has the worst version of doom eternal do to its underpowered hardware compared to the consoles it "competes" against as well as PC
fixed that for ya!
>I can't stress how good the d pad is on the SP
I agree. The next best for me is the original 3DS d-pad, that thing is glorious.
The Lord of the Rings games were like hand held diablo clones. Absolute perfection.
yeah, but it means no charging while playing (which is pretty minimal I guess) and the quality of the one I got sucked ass. probably something to do with the amount of stripes on the earbuds input
who asked about PS4 and Xbox you stupid fuck, it still have no games compared to the GBA, you nigger
>near perfect handheld version of a AAA game
>somehow this is supposed to be a negative point for the Switch
if not for kung flu I'd say to go look for ones at flea markets, I found one in great condition for $20 last spring
>battery dies in 10 minutes in handheld mode
switch lite is handheld mode only turbopleb
>not liking a handheld next gen doom game
thats a yikes from me
I guess it was for poorfag kids like me, since I got one for Christmas. I liked it besides the fact that it had no GBC compatibility.
I have small japanese hands and I love my micro
"let's make a dope collectible mini version of the gba with changeable faceplates"
pretty cool for awhile. a friend of mine had one (still has, knowing him) and played it all the time in class during high school.
>We could sell dogshit as long as we put "Nintendo" on it and our dumbfuck fans would buy it
This is what they were thinking.
Best hacked handheld I’ve owned yet
Behold, the final evolution of the DS, capable of playing every Game Boy and DS game ever made.with perfect or near-perfect accuracy.
Ok handlet
>GBA Micro
>dogshit
Terminal shit taste
Fuck, I didn't even think about corona ruining flea markets. I always look forward to garage sale and flea market season. Fucking Chinks had to ruin that for me.
That's a funny way to spell "the New Nintendo 3DS XL SNES edition with Super Mario Kart pre-installed"
>ds lite
>ps2 slim
truly a great time to be a kid. i still have 2 ds lites and a ps2 slim in a shoebox.
the 3ds was only good for the zelda remakes and i ended up giving mine to a friend after his R shoulder button broke. the nu pokemon games are trash and that's about all i wanted out of it.
i'd buy a switch if the fucking thing could play all of nintendo's backlog, console and handheld. indie games would be a nice draw if i didn't play those on pc. if i'm out in public like on the train, i'll read a book and/or listen to music.
*stick starts drifting*
$200 down the drain
The Advanced was better, even without a backlight. (which you could easily get nowadays)
it's not even out on switch, retard
*drifts out of my path*
My niggers
>bad form factor
>cramped controls
>shallow buttons to accommodate memeshell design
>hinge adds a significant failure point
it's a no from me chief
