Skewing towards modern systems proves the people voting are realists, not overgrown children blinded by nostalgia. After all, and I mean this in the nicest way possible, if you answered anything pre-GBA you're simply wrong. A modded PSP can play every Gameboy or Game Gear game without flaw, as well as every NES, SNES, Master System, Mega Drive, and TurboGrafx game though emulation. It has a fantastic D-Pad, responsive buttons, a vibrant screen that you can see in all conditions, and a built in rechargeable lithium ion battery, oh and... oh yes, it's own library of games and the ability to play PSOne games. This would make the GBA obsolete but it's emulation on some games (namely Golden Sun) is a little off so it loses there.

As for other systems, the DS Lite is basically a DS with a GBA built in, so why would you want a GBA? A 3DS effectively has a DS built in so why would you want a DS unless it's to play GBA games. The Vita is basically a nicer and better PSP meaning the only use for the PSP is if you prefer physical media, or want a modded one for emulation.

I honestly fail to see why anyone would pick anything other than the 3DS, Vita, or DS Lite if they especially loved certain GBA games. If you're a retro gamer either the PSP or the Pandora are perfect, surely anything else is simply blind nostalgia. I, to this day, will never understand this desire to ignore backwards compatability when judging a console. It really does make the difference.

 

Sorry, but the "you only say that because of nostalgia" card, is one of the intellectually weakest and definitely lamest attempts to dismiss someone's else's opinion that you don't agree with, that has probably ever existed in the halls of fandom.

 

Just saying.

So's the "Your argument is intellectually weak because I say so" card, but as we're not playing cards but are in fact having a discussion; that shouldn't be an issue. Now, grow up, make a point worth my time, or kindly make your own thread where you can bask in the glow of your own arrogance. I'm so sorry that it offends you when someone points out the FACT!!! that earlier technology is intrinsically inferior to modern technology, I know it makes the nostalgia breast inside you do somersaults, but grow the fuck up!
