Both are stellar systems, but the DS can play GBA games, so there's that.

But GBA can play GB and GBC games, so I guess it depends on which generations are most important to you.

 

Outside of Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks, I skipped the DS generation of handhelds (not including 3DS of course).  So with that in mind, I have to go with GBA.

True, but in my opinion the GBA's library is superior to the GB in every aspect, so backwards compatibility for the GBA still makes the DS the king of handhelds. If only the Switch could get BC for all of Nintendo's handhelds soon...
