Better track down your link cables and some AA’s. Join as we countdown our picks for the Top 10 Handheld Gaming Devices. For this list we had to add some stipulations. Every entry must have been designed as a gaming device first, so you won’t find any smartphones on the list. Additionally, re-releases such as the PSP Go or Gameboy Pocket are included with the original version of the handheld to keep it fair. That being said let’s get to our first pick.

PSVita – Its the closest thing you can get to a home console on the go.
Checks upload date to make sure this was made before the Nintendo Switch
Luke Hahn
philip a dog Oh, ok
History Of Obama
@philip a dog What about BOTW? It was a phenomenal game which went viral and you should definitely check it out if you have a Switch. Sure it didn’t launch with much else, but then Mario Odyssey came, Splatoon 2 came, Smash Ultimate, Super Mario Maker 2, Luigi’s Mansion 3, Animal Crossing: NH, all that good stuff.
philip a dog
@History Of Obama yeah i do agree the switch is a great console and i wish i worded my first comment better
Tennam Rinchen
philip a dog switch is amazing but I own a vita as well and it’s definitely better in terms of functionality, hack it and you support for emulators on vita and the entire catalog of psp home brew and games along with the entire PS1 library. The switch also isn’t hackable on every system which made me sad because I can’t hack my switch. The vita is better for functionality but switch is better for pure gaming
TangerineTurtles
philip a dog but the switch is much more powerful and yeah since they dropped virtual console the first party library is pretty small but they have great third party games like the Witcher 3 soon to be overwatch, xcom, and bioshock although it took to long for these to come
War wick
my favorite portable console. PSP
Usuario De Youtube

LEGO Clayface
It’s technically a home console but you can take it on the go

Nelly Narovi
the Psp was truly ahead of its time.
MMMmBread
Ds is way better more units were sold but psp is amazing still
Pizza Slicer
Peanut Animations DS was trully popular, but the PSP had the superior graphics back then, cuz it was legit a PS2 on mobile
Soapy
Very true, the PSP is a high end quality game console with games from 2009 that have better graphics than most game console games during that time period.
Petar Pigeon
I still play it
ya maggot!
@MMMmBread more units doesn’t mean that it was a better console and the psp had 82m units ik it’s as much as the ds but it doesn’t mean it’s worse
Michael Segal
The Atari Lynx is my favourite portable console
Chris1sn’tCool
NINTENDO SWITCH WANTS TO KNOW YOUR LOCATION
I know it was not released yet but still
Mohammad Abualburak
Even if it was it would barely make the list. It’s not backwards compatible so that’s why it’s not as popular
MMMmBread
Nintendo switch is so popular if only it came out
MMMmBread
@Mohammad Abualburak switch is amazing you are stupid
