I like my portable games to be engaging, but playable over 15 minute segments and polished. Pokemon, Gran Turismo and Mario Kart are ideal for me, but I find that the level of quality in Pokemon games has been on a decline since the Gameboy versions.
I'm probably done with handheld gaming now with the DS and PSP. There are a lot of great games, but I feel the handheld market is becoming a mirror of the console market, and I'd rather just play console games. It's just that I find my favorite handheld franchises have not evolved since their American debuts (Pokemon, Advance Wars, Fire Emblem, Picross, and Golden Sun), and that not as much innovation is comming to the handheld market as there used to be. I also find it really annoying that only half of the Fire Emblem titles ever make it outside of Japan. Also with the 3DS costing $250.... It's just not worth it.
On the DS, the only innovative and new game I played was Brain Age, and $250 for a 3DS to play a few games like that just isn't worth it to me.
I'm looking into getting an android phone and running a GBA emulator. I own a lot of GBA games and older I have yet to complete, and some I would enjoy re-playing. If I can play them off my phone, I'll be more likely to play them. Number 1 on my list is Final Fantasy VI, then the Donkey Kong Countries. Also the Xveria Play plays PS1 games, and I think someday they will make one that plays PSP games. To me thats enough.
