What's your favorite game boy handheld?

[Deleted User]

Mine is either the GBA SP or the GB Micro

SP for me. The clamshell design is great.

the OG GBA with a backlit screen.

like this V

GBA SP all the way. Although mine is only the first model. I'm jealous of my girlfriend because she has a pink AGS-101 model SP. It's beautiful.
Just like her.

GBA SP
It was the first system I actually owned myself

 

[8BitWonder]

Backlit GBA. Feels better to hold in my hands than the SP.

I agree, the SP feels too crammed

how old where you 2 when you picked up the sp? I'm sure in bigger hands it's a tad crammed but for a small 7 year old (me when I played on the system a lot) it was just fine.

Well, no, I'm just saying that it was likely sized more so for smaller hands

100% agree with Flame, GBA with backlit screen = best. The SP and micro are too small for any hands bigger than a 10 year olds

Although if we include the DS line, the DS Lite is pretty great, too.

I was pretty young when I first got an SP, so I probably didn't mind it. But having grown a bit I now prefer the GBA.

Being 18 now I prefer a switch for gba games

I really like the vita as a non-GBA device for my GBA games.
Though that may change when homebrew arrives for switch 2.X.0.

Gameboy Pocket I reckon. Followed closely by GBA SP

How did you get your back-lit GBA? Did you make it yourself our did you buy a prebuilt?

 

[Hanafuda]

AGS-101. We have two, with the original boxes and all innards (plastic bags, manual, etc). Mine's black, my daughter's is pink. When we bought hers, it was the last GBA on the shelf at any store in our town. Here she is on Christmas morning, 2007. She's 14 now, and still uses it.

I've got fairly big hands and prefer the SP. The Micro was a terrible experience, though.

Gameboy micro ftw

Imo every Game Boy offered something cool. I wish I still had an SP
