Forums - Gaming - PC and Console gamers, are you excited about upcoming Handhelds?

now that the PSP2 rumors keep coming and the 3DS just around the corner (which seems like a long time wait)

are you guys any interested in handhelds? could these new handhelds change your view on the "meh on the go ports are not my thing"  ?  , or are you going to just stick to PCs and consoles?

Nope.  Handhelds serve a utilitarian function in my household and gaming on smartphones is quickly taking over.  Already 2 of my 3 kids use phones now for handheld gaming and the other is fine with his DS.  By the time we would be ready to upgrade he will be getting a phone.



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.

have you tried handheld games? they're different from phone games...



Yes, very much. I haven't had a handheld since the GameBoy Color :b

I'm excited for the 3DS.



I'm indifferent towards the PSP2 until we actually know more about it. 

I'm excited about the 3DS but there's no way in Hell I'm paying $300 or even $250 for a handheld.  About the max I'm willing to pay is $200.

oh wow ,you skipped multiple generations



I might jump on board around mid 2013 after the wii is finished. I'll be out of college and I'll have to upgrade my PC.  Depending on what happens, I might just go the PC/3DS route at that point.

Just like me, GBC was my last one. Was almost buying a PSP at one point though.

I am interested, especially in the 3DS. (most of all the 3D aspect) Already some good games announced, but I need to see some more gameplay videos first.

Also a bit interested in the PSP2. If the graphics are really as good as the rumor states I might get it, but the battery should really last a few hours.....

Either way I'm not going to buy anything that is more expensive than a 360 nowadays.



honestly depends on how much free time I have when they are released. PSP2 I'm pretty interested in if battery life is decent. 3DS I'm not too sure yet it has some good games announced but honestly n64 ports aren't worth it for me. Not really interested in the 3D aspect unless they find some truely creative ways to use it in games.



If the PSP2 has everything they say it does.......me want :D



Yeah i know my spelling sucks but im dysgraphic so live with it :3
