Video games are welcome at the table of popular art, alongside movies, music, and television. Home consoles get a lot of attention, but portable gaming has done the heavy lifting when it comes to expanding the reach and acceptance of the medium.
The road to ubiquity began with the peculiar rise of the Game Boy. An outdated piece of hardware upon its release in 1989, Nintendo would nonetheless sell over 115 million Game Boys and Game Boy Colors. Nintendo advertised the portable as a hobby device not just for the kids, but for the family. Countless adults lots entire nights to Zelda and Tetris.
Since the late 2000s, smartphones have spread across the world at a rate that flounders Nintendo’s hardware. Millions of people who never owned a home or mobile game console now do, and the thousands of good, bad, and somewhere in between smartphone games have become a preferred distraction for grown-ups passing a long commute or a quick smoke break.
Here’s the problem: Today, most of us play games, but not all of us play the best games on the best consoles that best match our interests. We get comfy with the latest free thing and make do. Why compromise?
There are four mobile gaming options available, all exceptional. I will be talking about these machines purely as game playing devices, so whether or not the hardware can also make a call or order Seamless is entirely irrelevant.
I don’t want to settle for okay. I want the closest to perfect mobile video game system.

I have that
Okay, I don’t even have the 3ds, I have a vita, but not all Nintendo games star Mario, donkey kong, and Zelda. You seem a bit dismissive and biased towards the 3ds.
LOL okay. Explain to me how the vita is better than the 3ds. Let’s see what the vita has going for it: 2 Thumbsticks, better screen, better battery life and better hardware. The 3ds? Better games, more games, actual use of touchscreens, more comfortable, better clamshell design, no overpriced bullshit proprietary sd cards. The list goes on.
And nvidia shield tablet over nexus 9? Don’t get me started..
Nintendo switch is coming up
3DS is amazing but the screen is godawful
where’s the Nintendo switch
This video is stupid.. because it’s misleading.
I have a ps4 and an xbox360 but I don’t know man! ps vita is always my 1st choice when I have some free time for gaming.
booooooooooooooooooooooo
kkkkkkkkkkkkkkk laughable
the new 3ds is the best portable console there is, period.
The vita is ok. If sony payed more atention to it, it might have gotten some more cool game ex.gta v ‚just cause 3 and so on. And the vita was ok when it came to power but it’s not a total powerhouse. If it was I would buy it ASAP.
The 3ds xl phew. It had a great screen in fact two great screens and good battery life. When it came to the games phew that’s where it totally sucked. If you’re buying that you’ll be playing stuff like mario. Ok there were some good zelda and stuff but I mean I’m not enforcing you not to buy a 3ds it is real fun
A tablet. Ok totally an ipad pro 10.5 because it’s out and new. On the android side Nexus 9??? No buy an Nvidia Shield Tablet k1 or Acer predator 8. They are very good tablets and reasonably priced. Not to mention that they are both powerhouses
When this guy try GPD XD and WIN his mind will explode
Getting a ps vita soon
which game is he playing at 0:50.Anyone please answer.
Thought this was gonna be about a new handheld, not some mixed bag of half research.
i was just about to throw my vita but.….
Now the switch does it best
Vita is the better console 3ds has tons more good games, he forgot smash, animal crossing, monster hunter, persona, and Pokemon. There are many many 3ds games while the Vita mainly gets indie games now.
I love my ps vita slim because I could play one piece unlimited world red on vita,
One piece burning blood ps vita and ps4, and freedom wars also Street fighter X Tekken.
I’m 3 years late but your opinion properly change, because the Switch is here
I’m sorry 3ds is BOMB!!!
and then the switch came along
Get as many handhelds, consoles and PC’s you can. It’s all about options people.
the Vita is a hacker’s dream come true.. it IS the best right now.
Expletives really go get a life!!!!!!!!!!
who the hell prefers the vita over the far superior 3ds
And phones and tablets have surpassed them.
OMG that voice!! I couldn’t watch the video for mor than a minute.
Wtf is this
Sony’s Vita has a loyal community but you can’t tell someone to buy a handheld equivalent of a Wii U.
I know there could be someone that would legitimately enjoy the Vita but it’s lack of support by Sony means the appeal is still too niche (even if the alternative is Nintendo, which even with a large audience and game library not everybody would buy their console for).
Nintendo is a large company with a wide variety of great games, so it would make sense (at least for most people) that they would be satisfied for buying a Nintendo console.
This video came out way too early.
