Blackberry bold 9000. I know its not a console per se but it has been with me for a long time and thanks to its brawny cpu its capable of nes emulation, watching videos, playing videos, net surfing pretty well even to this day and other phone things. I know its not a great gaming console or multimedia machine but the best portable is the one you have on you at the time, I just happened to have really bad luck with my ratchet terrible 3ds constantly having charging problems

For me it probably has to be the Gameboy line. The OG brick, the color, or the SP. They're just so easy to use one handed.

the New 3DS XL is my absolute favorite... although the PSP is also awesome even though my thumbs are permanently fucked up from playing monster hunter freedom unite xD

I recently got around cracking my 3DS and it has been a nice experience so far! It's the only one I got at the moment so it's my current favorite by technicality. I'll never forget my old childhood PSP tho, it was stolen a few years ago with two original games in the case, not my best day!

Nintendo DS and all its following systems (except 2DS). I am going to say the 3DS is the best of all DS models because its most easily modified and can play more games. The DS flips open, its dual screen and is very easy to play; it fits perfectly in your hand. It is durable, portable, and the cartriges are the perfect size. not so big its hard to carry a bunch, but not so small its hard to handle. it has awesome multiplayer capabilities, and some very fun nostalgic softwares like pictochat and flipnote. I need nintendo to return to the DS and bring it back, keep producing them

i love the ds lite, but honestly just because im able to actually play modern games on the go, its gotta be the steam deck. i travel a lot so its been an absolute game changer

I would probably have to go with the 3DS XL! that console helped me reignite my interest in Tetris, and I was able to get my Sprint time to 1:08 (so close to 1 minute!) unfortunately my little one got a hold of it and it snapped in half. :(
I'm trying to ebay a chasis or something so i can take everything inside and just swap it to another case, lol.
nostalgia wise, the game boy advance SP for sure. I played my first pokemon game on the GBA (Sapphire) and I was hooked!

definitely the 3DS, it's insanely easy to homebrew and easy to carry around. Plus the battery on it lasts longer than my switch

The 3DS and PSP seem to have the most capability with homebrew/modding backed up by excellent game libraries natively.

For some reason, I just had the most fun playing on the 3DS. The choice of games was fantastic! I picked up a Nintendo Switch afterwards, and I really haven't found many games I like on that system, to be fair, =/. Whereas I loved Mario 3D Land, and had lots of fun with Mutant Mudds, and played in the 3D mode all the time. I'd missed out on the DS and so for it to be backwards compatible with DS too just made it an incredible system, =). I got a Wii U shortly after, so got to continue the Mario 3D Land love affair with Mario 3D World, whereas I simply haven't enjoyed Mario Odyssey as much, =P. I just wish the Japanese version of Dragon Quest XI for 3DS would get a fan translation patch. Playing in 3D and 2D simultaneously on dual screens (although further googling reveals that is only at the start), seems awesome, <3.

Gotta be PSP. Great library + homebrew and emulators, fits well in the hands, great screen and controls, really easy to disassemble and mod

I find my Nintendo DSi to be the best handheld that I own, it's really fun to use with friends and supports nearly all of the DS games with some being enhanced on DSi too.

I'd say in terms of Nintendo, the OG DS because of its adapter being the same as the gba link cable, being able to play said gba games and as such the wide option of games. If you have flash carts for the gba and ds it gives access to gb, gbc, gba, ds, and nes games!
As for Sony, the PSP. The vita kinda feels weird and any noteworthy game has been ported away.

Nothing will be able to top the 3DS for me... I just have so many fond memories of Mario Kart 7, Pokemon X & Y, ect.

I will always love the Nintendo DS. I still have my metallic rose one that was gifted to me for Christmas. It only came with super Mario bros though. I eventually bought more games, lost a few, borrowed a few, but overall I have such good memories with it. Was actually recently looking into buying some of the games I lost as a kid or just never got to fully own(warioware touched, as well as others I played all the time).

For ease of use, nostalgia, and an amazing library, the PSP. Being able to easily emulate GBA and PS1 games makes it a no brainer, but also having Ratchet and Clank, Tony Hawk's Underground, Daxter and ATV Offroad Fury Pro, all in one place is awesome!

I've had a gameboy colour, DS, 3DS and now have a switch. The Switch is probably my favourite but I love the portability of the 3DS.

It's all between Gameboy Color and PSP. Switch to me is an amazing mobile console but that's precisely because you get to not have it as a handheld, but instead a system to split with a friend.
