Kane99 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anders Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Both Switch and Game Boy. I have games on both that I tend to start jonesing for if I don't have them readily available. So I take them both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 My Switch - I just got my Steam Deck fairly recently so the next time I go on vacation, I'm going to bring it along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravenfreak Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 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. killamch89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lens Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Button Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 The Switch is absolutely a great choice. I've also brought mine on several trips and it's always been a lifesaver during downtime. killamch89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Button Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 Nintendo DS is indeed a classic choice for me as well. I'd like to bring Pokémon games, New Super Mario Bros., and Brain Age. They are all good for casual fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
