What is the best handheld and why is it the 3DS?

Literally any other answer is wrong and this is coming from a Snoy fanboy. There’s just TOO MUCH SOVL packed into this thing. GB, GBA and DS games all in one. It’s like the megaultra final form of Nintendo handhelds ALL RUN NATIVELY with no emulation.

The customisable themes, badges and streetpass are the icing on this amazing cake. There’s just so many good Nintendo handheld games that were specifically made for it. I love that for example, can play all the GB, GBA, DS and 3DS Castlevania games without fiddling with emulators on my PC or phone.

Why won’t we ever get something this good again?

    Didn't read your op, the correct answer was the sony psp. Facts are usually regarded higher than your silly opinions.

    >had multimedia potential to emulate gba, snes, some n64, and ps1 on top of its own library

    Not even the new 3ds could fullspeed ps1 games, you can literally go die in a hole tier your opinion is so stupid.

            His point is the n3ds somehow plays psx worse when it shouldn't. Hell, og3ds psx emulation is no better than a pre 2019 chinkheld (Not the android one's) and it even uses the same shit hacks to make games more playable.

      While I agree with this, the Vita is just a better PSP.

        With a worse library and 3d games look kinda shit. To be fair, ds games look kinda shit on 3ds, but that's what chinkhelds are for.

          Do you mean PSP or 3D Vita games. Because I disagree honestly.

            Too many Vita games render at low res and just linear filter the image up to 544p unfortunately.

    PSP is unironically a better GBA emulator than the 3DS

      DSi is a better GBA emulator than them both.
      TwilightMenu++ GBA Emulator is great and you get 1:1 pixel aspect with some borders but it looks really good.

      So much so they use a DSi bottom screen in GBA ITA kits.

      just use open_agb_firm, it's not an emulator it uses the actual GBA hardware in a 3DS. you don't get the extra bells and whistles like cheats and stuff but you can fiddle with settings and swap out saves, it fixed the issues i had using mgba

    I would rather play DS games on a DSi XL and play Game Boy games on GBA than playing them on 3DS. I don't really like 3DS game library or how it feels. They also make every DS game look garbage by default.

    Switch is the best. It could *almost* emulate 3DS fully. Meaning it could almost play literally every Nintendo handheld game ever made. But just didn't eek enough power for full speed.

    But a hacked Switch 2 will be the best Nintendo handheld ever. It will be able to play everything from Nintendo ever made except WiiU I suppose.

    ds games looks like crap on 3ds, 3ds has worse screens, garbage buttons and way worse build quality than ds, on top of that 3ds has less games, there is literally nothing worth playing on it, have a nice day moronic homosexual

      3ds obviously don't have worse screens than the dslite or dsi, but ds games do look like shit on it. Twilight menu filters + having top and bottom ips is divine. good luck getting top and bottom though, kek.
