Remember the N-Gage? Certainly, yes. The portable cell phone device was owned by all the rich nerds in schools around the world, but we were never able to convince our parents that it was a great idea to let us merge our communication device with that damn Gaming Boy. we have spent all our time in. Joke, parents: now everyone he has a phone playing.
We feel a little vindicated to know that the N-Gage is just number 17 on The Guardian’s list of the 20 best handheld consoles of all time, well below the Nintendo Switch (which we obviously all own), the DS ( that we … probably all own?) and the 3DS (that we it should all are owners as it is the best).
The ranking, written by former Guardian Games editor Keith Stuart (a well-known Dreamcast fan), puts the Nintendo Switch in pole position, despite being only the fourth best-selling handheld device of all time, behind of the PSP, DS and Game Boy Advance. .
The DS enters just behind the Switch and the 3DS ranks third, with Game Boy Advance and SP in fourth and Game Boy in fifth. Up to 6th place, a portable device that is not from Nintendo can see: PlayStation Vita.
The Guardian’s reasoning for placing Nintendo Switch in the first place is simple: the fusion of the handheld and home console combines the best parts of all its past consoles into one.
“The Switch is basically the culmination of everything Nintendo has been trying to do with games since 1989. […] The Switch is more than a piece of technology, sometimes you feel like a friend. “
