Your go to handheld to bring on vacations

Recommended Posts

Whenever you go on vacation, do you ever bring a handheld gaming console along? Maybe a retro classic like the Gameboy, or you bring a more modern handheld like the Switch or Steam Deck. I don't own too many handheld systems, but I do have one of those retro handhelds, the Evercade handheld that takes new cart based games. I could probably take that on vacation with me. But I wish I owned something like the Steamdeck. I could see myself taking something like that on vacation to hold me over while I do my traveling. What about you? What handheld console do you take on your travels?

It definitely used to be the Switch, but I haven't really brought it with me anywhere in a while. The thing I've brought with me more frequently the last few years is my Anbernic RG351M handheld emulator. It can play pretty much any system up to the PS1, but the thing I've used it for like 99% of the time is GBA emulation. The screen on it is the perfect aspect ratio for GBA, and the GBA has such a vast and excellent library of games to choose from. The last thing I played on it was Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow, but the game I've played the most by far is Tetris Worlds.

I hardly go on vacations these days, but when I was a kid I would just bring my gameboy color with me. I remember taking it to Florida when my sister and I went there with my grandmother. I plan on going to Chicago in October and I think I might bring my Switch or GBA SP.

I also like to bring handheld consoles on vacation. My go-to is usually the Nintendo Switch. I love the fact that it has an amazing library of games.

The Switch is absolutely a great choice. I've also brought mine on several trips and it's always been a lifesaver during downtime. 

Totally agree! The Switch is perfect for travel. What’s your favorite game to play when you're on the go?

That's indeed a great question. I'm a big fan of the Vita, but since it's not getting new games, I've actually switched to the Switch for travel.

I'm a retro handheld person. So, I bring my Gameboy Advance SP or Nintendo DS on any of my vacations.

The Switch is a great pick. Which accessories do you bring for yours?
