If you could only have four handhelds...

[Koopa64]

What would they be?

Since there's fewer handhelds, it's way easier:

Game Boy Advance SP
Nintendo DS Phat
Game Boy Color
Tie between a PSP, NGPC and Game Gear, though I could live without any of these three

 

[Spike Spiegel]

PSP
Nomad
DS
Gameboy Advance

This is too easy

 

[abasuto]

DS (because it also plays GBA games)
Lynx
TG-Express
Nomad

 

[SML]

GBA SP (I'd prefer GBA and Gb/Gbc support to DS/Gba support)
NGPC Slim
GP2X Wiz (I know, I know, but I'm thinking about grabbing one and with the emulators and SDHC storage I can get some extra mileage out of it.)
And... *

 

[T.A.P.]

N-Gage

 

[SML]

N-Gage

If I were going to a desert island, perhaps. If I were in range of a tower I could try and call for help...

 

[SouthtownKid]

GBA SP (I'd prefer GBA and Gb/Gbc support to DS/Gba support)

Same here.


So GBA, PSP, NGPC for me. Then maybe a DS just for the hell of it, even though I've never played one.

 

[BIG]

a hacked psp is more than enough for me.

 

[not sonic]

psp
ds

doesnt that cover everything?

then its a tossup between virtual boy, game.com, and ngage.

 

[Gamefan]

Hacked PSP
DSi
Nomad
GP32X

GAMEFAN

 

[Zenimus]

DS
PSP
GBA SP

and...

YES!

 

[Lagduf]

DS
PSP

Uh...?

 

[SouthtownKid]

a hacked psp is more than enough for me.

If I could only have one handheld, that would definitely be it, no question.

 

[SpamYouToDeath]

hacked iPhone, hacked PSP, DSi+R4i, possibly one of the newer open source portables.

 

[Mike Shagohod]

I only have TWO hands and one cock, so...

 

[OrochiEddie]

4 of those tiger electronic games, those were (the) shit

 

[Baseley09]

Game.com
Wonderswan
Zodiac
Gizmondo

 

[NeoSneth]

GBA
Turbo Express
uhhg. DS and PSP

 

[Magician]

DSi
Gameboy Color
Neo Geo Pocket Color
Game Gear

 

[kernow]

Jesus christ what a dumb ass thread. who needs 4 handhelds.

uh, a psp and a ds lite will do. fuck handhelds.

 

[RocketLawnChair]

Tiger Game.com, and N-Gage. Do you really need anything else?

Maybe it's because a Game Boy was my first and only system for most of my childhood, but I tend to favor handhelds. I'll buy them without hesitation, whereas I'll usually wait until after a console has died to pick it up along with the games that have stood up over time.

 

[evil wasabi]

a hacked psp is more than enough for me.

I'll take 4 of those please.

 

[OMFG]

GP2X.

Hacked PSP.

Nintendo DS Lite.


That's pretty much all that I would need in this scenario.

 

[NeoSneth]

i don't think a hacked handheld would be in the spirit of this thread,
as a hacked PSP could play almost anything.

but whatever.
