>PSP has MHFU and Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters on it
>also, the MediEvil remake that is nowhere near as bad as people make it out to be

Fuck no.

Hell fucking shit no.

No, that's the 3DS. The 3DS has the best handheld library of all time with every game being modern classics.

>I'm cool for disliking something popular

I found at least 40 games I liked on the DS. But even overlooking that, it had the most Dragon Quest games. That alone made it the best handheld. 3DS would be doing even better if the games actually got localized.

nope gbc and original gameboy have the best handheld library of all time

>tons of shovelware

Reminds me of the ps2 honestly so yes it was the greatest handheld besides game n watch.

Since the DS could play all GBA games as well, wouldn't that mean the DS has the greatest handheld library of all time?
>>
No. Its library is vast, and of high quality, but it does not rival the density in Gameboy Color and Gameboy games.
>>
>>342886281
Since the GBA could play GBC/GB games doesnt that mean the GBA has the greatest handheld library o all time?
>>
>>342886531

Since by DS could emulate NES, SNES and Game Boy/Advance games, does that mean the DS was the best?

Does any other handheld have a legimate RTS title? GBA has this.

Only thing that I can think of that kinda fits the bill is Lost Magic but that barely counts.

>>342885362

The DS is a great console. I really think you haven't given it a fair shot.

Fantastic RPG library (including Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy), several solid horror titles, Ace Attorney, and great platformers like New Super Mario Bros.

The DS truly has an impressive library.
>>
>>342888267

Oh, and how could I have forgotten GTA: Chinatown Wars?

I personally didn't care much for the DS Zelda games, although a lot of people liked them. I was really hoping for something more along the lines of Ocarina of Time.

Truly.

both meme dogs on a single cartridge. nintendo was truly ahead of its time
>>
Yes,mostly because It's the last handheld nintendo made that wasn't about gimmicks and more fateful to the 4th gen games's style (Wow 4th gen Is considered by many the best gen of video games who would have known!)
the GBA finally was capable of interesting colors output and good (but not great) sounding.
