    “This thing would run for days without dying!!!”<br><br>The game and watch had a 6 month battery, and didn’t even have an off switch.

    Just got recommended the video about what happened to mobile games and I&apos;m very impressed by the quality of these videos on such a small channel. Hopefully the channel will go far.

    The biggest loss of the death of true handheld consoles is the death of smaller scale spin-offs/side games or games that had the same name as the console game but ended up being a completely different game<br><br>Every time I see an Apple Arcade exclusive like Sonic Dream Team, I just think what if it was made for a handheld like the Switch so it wouldn’t be held back by touch controls, and what if we could actually own the game

    Really loved your channel! <br><br>I noticed that before 2020 I loved that everything is accumulated in my phone. But now I started to get separate devices for everything: music, games, reading, photo… Pendulum is back. :)

    When I was a kid, I used to play some good old ds games on the go with new super mario bros, mario kart, sonic rush, whatever as these handhelds like the ds and psp were pocket friendly. Nowadays you have to carry the steam deck or pc handheld with a bag. Thankfully, we got some alternatives. One of the best alternatives would be those little pocket friendly devices that were preloaded with roms such as anbernic and miyoo for example. When I first saw these pocket friendly handhelds like ayn, ayaneo, and anbernic, I noticed that some android handhelds have the ability to play gamecube, and ps2 games on the go as they&apos;re pretty much pocket friendly. I&apos;d recommend getting the miyoo mini plus or the rg35xx plus before you get other retro handhelds down the line.

    I do not really play games outside the house myself, but when I need to travel on vacation I use my 3ds and Vita, PSP and Switch lite and not the larger Switch which is too delicate and expensive to travel with.

    I hope that the switch 2 gets a lite variant that&apos;s as small as a switch lite. I wouldn&apos;t even mind if they had to lower the resolution back to 720p.

    For me personally, I think my limit for how big a handheld should be is honestly the Switch Lite. I&apos;ve always found the original Switch to be a little bit too big for my liking. And that is especially true with the Switch 2 and Steam Deck. The Switch Lite feels perfect in the hands and I&apos;ve found devices around that size or smaller to be great for handheld gaming.
