How often do you play handheld games at home?

Never. I haven't played a handheld game (at any length anyway) since the Atari Lynx and don't intend to.

Why not? Aren't there a few handhelds games you think look interesting?

There are a couple I guess but enough of them to warrant purchasing a console for them. Mobile and tablet games are absolutely null and void for me though. There are a couple of RPG's I'd like to play if I did have a handheld, and probably Mario on DS.

So when the Gameboy Advance came out, and was backward compatible with all Gameboy games from 1989, did you not consider getting one then? Also DS is BC and so is 3DS to 1 generation, are there still not enough RPG's?

Not really, no. And the thought of playing on such a small screen with limited control and interface deterrs me even further. I also feel that handheld consoles and games are way too expensive (DS games cost more than PS360 games here, about the same as Wii games when they're new).
