[QUOTE="-RPGamer-"]

I would go with DS.

I don't know why people would pick the GBA, especially if the focus on that choice is the GBA titles since you can play those on the DS, along with the DS' own library. The only way I could see the GBA being someone's choice is if they really thought the BC with GB(C) titles was worth mentioning.

Having said that, I question people picking the GB(C) even more since that choice has zero advantage over the choice of GBA.

EVOLV3



Would that mean the PS3 is easily the greatest console of all time, seeing how it can play PS1+PS2+PS3+PSN Games?

Depends on which PS model you have, I guess.

No, if it was your opinion, you would say something like, "The Ngage is my FAVORITE handheld of all time," but if you're going to say that it is the greatest, you're going to have to provide us with some tangible proof.

Which you can't.

Because the Ngage is a colossal failure.

I know it sounds very generic, but my favourite handheld is the DS. The only handheld I actually bothered buying games outside Pokemon for.

Eponique
I too love the DS the most. It had the best games, the biggest variety and it's the only handheld that I continued buying games for that enjoyed and didn't just buy for some plane trip

GBA was the greatest for me. I was never excited about handhelds until I saw all the SNES games being made for it. Unfortunately not many of the best SNES games were made for the GBA, but fortunately many amazing original titles came to light on the system. Advance Wars, Golden Sun, and Bomberman Tournament, Link to the Past remake (the multiplayer was amazing) were some of my favorites.

Game Gear!!!!!!

jk

Game Gear was my favorite back in the day mainly because it did two things Game Boy couldn't do and they were play Sonic and it played games in color. GBA is probably the best. DS just fails at 3D games and PSP has horrible controls for 3D games. Lets face it 3D games aren't ment for portables and thats why I like the GBA it had some of the best 2D games.

PSP and DS.. The DS has a immense library and can play Gameboy advanced games on top of it.

PSP has alot of great games, tons of other functions other then gaming, as well as other functions..

DS, then PSP, then original gameboy for me. Handhelds had the best evolution so far though, so I can't wait to see more.

DS is the best handheld. With it's touch screen, dual screens, portability, graphics, sound, Wi-fi, battery life, backwards compatability to GBA, and growing library, the DS takes the cake AND ice cream!-Sole-

LOL did this guy just use the DS and graphics in the same sentence? LOL....and oh,according to a word I'm not allowed to use in this forum, the PSP is BC with almost all Nintendo's old plats.

DS Lite, I regret not buying one sooner because I know its legacy is coming to an end. The GBA comes in at a close second.

Definitely the GBA, no question. The DS comes close, but as of now, it does not have the sheer amount of quality titles the GBA has, nor its legacy, and the PSP certainly does not even come close. Seriously, the GBA was like the PS2 of handhelds. Sold a lot, easily available, still played by many today, and a humongous library of amazing top-quality games despite 80% of the library being shovelware which is a testament to how many games were on it.

But if you include BC, then the DS Lite definitely takes the title.

game boy color, still have my lime green one

-TheSecondSign-

From a game stand point yes it was great (I lost mine), but a technology stand point NO. 9 years and they only accomplished color.

It didn't even have very good color.

It still looked incredibly stale. They didn't get color until the GBA, and it only showed fully with a backlight.

i dont mean to be a jerk, but what is the big deal about the gameboy colour? i had one and i thought it really wasnt all that great, other then metal gear solid and the legend of zeldas i cant think of any other exclusive game worth mentioning, also i think that time has not been kind on most of its games

The DS. It has more variety than anything on the market, save for the PC.
