So now that we have the final 3DS lineup, I was wondering how most think it stacks up historically.  I've listed the full "day one" lineups for each dedicated games handheld going back to the original Game Boy, though with the limited poll options I selected the handhelds with the seemingly most liked launches for it (plus 3DS).  So which was best?  Which was your favorite?  Why?

They actually all kinda suck but ima go with GBA just becuase it has more than 1 game i would buy.. DS was close just becuase of Mario 64

Circle of the moon is an autowin for GBA

lol *high five*  agreed i mean theres another game i would get but CotM is all i really need

I'm sort of amazed at how terrible the DS launch was.  lol.

GBA was probably my favorite too (got Castlevania, F-Zero and Mario off the bat, they were all awesome), but looking back I have to say the NGPC lineup looks pretty tasty!  

3DS kinda feels like PSP deja vu imo.  Only with better 1st party stuff and less sports crap.

You seem to have a list fetish, i can't remember the last post you made that doesn't have a list on it

I don't remember any of the launches, so thank god you listed them here.

I'd go with the GBA. Has the most games I'm interested in.

Kinda disappointed in the 3DS launch day line-up, but I know after a couple months that will not be the case anymore.

3DS is new psp 1 joystick more core game whats the difference

Wow they're all so bad >.<

I wasn't expecting this but I think I'll have to go with the PSP. Or maybe the N-Gage.

The best Nintendo one is the DS I think. I just loved The Urbz: Sims in the City.

Definitely the GBA.
