Most of us use our phones be it Android or iOS to play games. Well good enough right? Wrong, why stick with good enough when you could go well and these handheld game consoles do just that- they take you a step further. Just think about this- a handheld game console has actual buttons for starters and a ton of games to keep you busy for hours. So what say you put down your phone for a minute to look at some of the best handheld game consoles out there (that is if you’re not reading this post on your phone by the way).
This one is a hybrid sort of gaming console- in that you can use it as a handheld game console as well as put it in a dock and play it on the big screen. By that I mean a TV. With the switch in your hands you can kill the time by its endless array of games. Plus there’s always it’s versatility that you get with it- play it on the TV or carry it around with you.
The console is not just a gaming console also; you can watch Hulu on it as well. With the console you also get a number of accessories to go along with it and it comes in a variety of color configurations too. Besides all this it is a great travel companion as well.
The lightweight design coupled with the 5.5 inch screen all makes this a better travel buddy than the one above. Plus if you don’t won’t to spend that much on a Nintendo switch then this one being the lite model comes in at just $200. Besides all this, the switch lite comes in three colors- Turquoise, gray and yellow. Some color choice if you’ve ever seen one right?
The Joy-Cons cannot detach with the lite. But this is a good thing as it makes the lite even more sturdier and robust to play with. The only downside with the switch is that it cannot be played on the big screen. So if you’re more of an outdoors person then this one is for you.
An emulator is basically a hardware or software that makes one device behave like the other. Well enough with the tech lesson. Getting more to the point this handheld game console does just that. It allows you to play old games, the ones usually found on SNES or Game Boy or PS1. However it’s not as simple as downloading and installing a simple app.
If your tech savvy and know how to use a computer then this handheld game console is just the one for you. This gaming emulator is one of the best on the market. Besides this, it is also powerful and more to our need that is it’s portable.
But if you’re one of those people who can’t get around following tutorials to get your games playing on it, then you might want to give this gaming console a skip.
The 2DS is the same as the 3DS but with the exception of the hinges. It’s in a hedge shape rather than a clamshell shape. But all in all it’s still comfortable to hold and get to gaming. This handheld game console comes with two backlit screens which are bright enough and all, don’t get me wrong, but they are exposed. This makes them prone to breaks and cracks.
You get the full array of Nintendo’s games of the DS and 3DS variety. The downside with this gaming console is that it does not play stereo quality sound. If you want the shebang then earphones are your best option. The color options on this thing make it more a kids playing device rather than a serious gamesters one.
A lot of Nintendo’s on this list huh?
With this handheld game console in tow you get two screens to play on, a comfortable clamshell design and a built in NFC reader. If you’re wondering why the NFC, it is used for amiibo which is Nintendo’s action figures that add a little something extra to your game.
The console also comes in a fun array of colors such as orange and white, black and turquoise as well as purple and silver. You may not get 3D games on it or games like 3DS XL. But you can still play 3DS games on it at a much cheaper price. You even get a free pre- installed game of Mario Kart 7.
These are some of the best handheld game consoles to get. I know that there are a lot of Nintendo gaming consoles on this list but what can I say? They’re the best when it comes to handheld game console. Other than that there is also an emulator on this list, if you just happen to love old games and miss them. But all in all with these handheld game consoles you’re sure to never use your phone again for gaming, which is unless those games aren’t compatible with your console.
