In 25 years the GBA is going to be smaller than the current equivalent of the Deck's trackpad.
>>736589137Anything bigger than the lynx is too big.
>>736589137Anything as big as a 5090 is too big
I fucking love the Gameboy Advance
>>736589137I recently had to replace my phone. I fucking hate how huge my new one is. I'm pretty sure its a bit longer than a gba although obviously not as thick.
Sigh... The GBA is such a cool console. If only it were a little smaller so it could fold up and fit in my pocket
>>736589514ever heard of the "ess pee"?get this, its a slightly smaller, more foldable gameboy advanced.
>>736589904Wow! So cool! But I mostly play at night, so unless the screen was backlit, portability would all be for naught.
>>736589514um bro, your gba micro????
>>736590013have i got news for you, its got a light, and you don't even need to waste the link cable port with a worm light either.that's right, the light comes from BEHIND the screen, like some sort of back light.
>>736589137I think Ayn Thor perfected the handheld shape and features. Shame they wouldn't do symmetric option for the thumb sticks. Got to hand it to these chinks they did it right this time.
>>736589137Timmybros....
Clamshells like the ayn thor should be the norm
I have the steam deck and desu I never really feel the need to play on it, it cannot even play most ps2 games with the 60fps patches activated which sucks.
I like how big the Steam Deck is. My OLED screen is fucking beautiful.
>>736590245My hope Nintendo goes back to that. The Switch 2 is too big and heavy. Batter life also sucks. I'm fine if the Switch 3 is only 1.3-1.5x stronger than the Switch 2 if it means having better battery life and smaller form. Besides it will likely have DLSS 4.0 to do most of the heavy lifting.
Who actually plays games on the go? I'm too embarrassed to even browse my phone for more than 5 minutes in public, let alone whip out some giant autism machine with a screen showing a dumb mass video game
>>736590621>I'm too concerned for the opinions of others, I bow my head constantly and kiss my corporate groom master's feet daily as a humiliation ritual to feel complete in my void-filled life. Yes master, please master, how may I please you more master?lol. That's what you sound like, a slave always looking to please others rather than yourself. Not an ubermensch material.
>>736589137Any bigger than this.
>>736590718the perfect handheld
>>736589489Bro did not even do research into his new phone :skull:
>>736589137
Thor or vita is a good cutoff point. Anything bigger won't fit in the pocket. Someone really needs to make a pspgo sized clamshell.
>>736589489Kek tiny hands havin ass
>>736589137The Deck is too big for GBA gamesThe GBA is too small for PC/console gamesGames on the GBA were designed for the GBAThis isn't the case for the Deck, so it needs to be bigger as the game you play were made for TVs and Monitors
>>736591894The GBA is too small for its own good. Screen should have been 320x240 pixels
Needs to be pocket sized like the vita. Thinking about getting an Energizer Apex (30,000 mah) when it comes out. It'll be heavy, and probably won't work with a controller mount, but long life battery, and durable, waterproof. Low spec though it seems.But you do need a lot of battery with portables. Otherwise you are bound by power outlets or solar. You can get good 40watt solar chargers now though that are like a couple/few A4 sheets big.Glass/Solid state batteries should make phones/handhelds great soon. And electric motorbikes. Coating a Van in solar could be an actual thing. Still need to replace bearings and wheels though. Probably more economical to fly than drive too. Especially considering how much roads cost. But service stations and motels are cool. And a breakdown on a road isn't the end of the world. It's the stone age 2 if you crash in the middle of nowhere without an EPIRB or a sat connection. You're fucked.This message brought to you by Energiser.
And portables can't have a fan.It will get dusty.
>>736589137One is a toy for children, the other is a device for menas shrimple as that
>>736592508They can they just need to increase the depth axis slightly. Fans do not need to big or loud either. Its a mystery for these fuckers though.
>>736592508>And portables can't have a fan.The Odin 2 Mini does
>>736589137psp is the sweet spot. Vita size is also fine.
>>7365891373DS is the upper limit, since it's still pocketable. Barely, depending on what I'm wearing. I thought Switch/Steam Deck would be fine until I actually tried traveling with them.
>>736592508All decent chinkhelds have fans.
>>736589137Steam Deck is too big.
>>736590501battery life isn't something you can snap with fingers due to slow battery tech
>>736591753Fucking LOL
>>736589137PSVita and Switch 1 are already too big
>>736591753
steam deck is the worst of both worldstoo big and expensive for a handheld emulatortoo weak to actually run anything with graphics above the ps3
>>736590718>>736590761>>736591807It's still kind of amazing how Snoy made the perfect successor to the PSP and completely buried it with overpriced proprietary memory sticks and poor 3rd party game support.
>>736595331Surely people will stop enjoying a handheld with millions of playable games because some recent AAA slop doesn't run that well anymore. You did it. You defeated whatever you're fighting.
>>736595431>completely buried it with overpriced proprietary memory sticksAin't that the truth.It was the memory card cost that put me off buying a Vita. I was honestly fucking stunned when I saw the pricetag on the shelf. Purchased a 3DS instead, that very same day.
>>736595331modern cards struggle to run that shitsteam deck is for elden ring and virtually anything before it. it's not for ue5 slop
do you know how bad it feels to be 6.7 inches and body believes you and refuse to see your dick even after you insist on showing it to prove yourself?
>>736590171>dpad hanging off the edgeworthless
>>736595331there isn't any AAA games worth playing in the last 20 years.I could think of maybe 3 and that's being generous.
>>736589137Deck's screen is a bare minimum for games not specifically designed to be playable on a tiny screen. It's not a device you could take anywhere, but it completely replaced a gaming PC at home for me. I quite literally don't want to play on a PC ever again.
>>736595792>no tripleA game worth playing in the last 20 years>I can think of 3huh?
>>736595889>I could think of maybe 3 and that's being generous.Are you an ESL, pedantic or retarded?
>>736589137The Steam Deck or equivalent device could easily be the size of a backpack. It could even have straps so you can carry it around on your back in public and show everyone that you're a hardcore gamer.
>>736595331>AAA slopAll my porn games are running great.
>>736595331Just stream demanding games from your desktop pc like a normal person
>>736589489which phone?
>>736596308>brown hands typed this
>>736589137>GBACan't see the screen>Steam DeckCan see the screenSteam Deck wins.
the ambernic rg34xx is goated
So should I buy an AYN Thor, Steam Deck, Vita or something else? I already own a Switch 2.
>>736590171Haven't owned a handheld since psp and I felt like buying this but the longer I think about it, the less sense it makesAs in, what do you play on this? Way overkill for emulation, everything else cheaper and smaller can do that, I use my phone for that. So what, Fortnite, Minecraft and android slop shovelware? What's the expensive specs for? With steam deck you actually get a shitton of real windows games
>>736599635what's your budget and what are you trying to do with whatever device it is
>>736599635>so should I buy *devices that have nothing in common*?What do you intend to play?
>>736590030>um bro, your gba micro????Fuck you! I just folded my GBA Micro up and it shattered into pieces.
how can any adult male play on an sp form factor without their hands getting fucked updon't even have gorilla hands i have normal to frankly somewhat smaller handseven the og gba is a little smaller than what i would like
>>736589137I want my handheld screen as big as possible. I no longer care at all about pocket portability. When the deck can play basically everything, it needs that big ass screen.
>>736599635considering you already have a switch, i'd get a deck so you can tap into pc games as well
>>736595331The Deck was supposed to be Valve drawing a line in the sand for developers.>Make it run on these fixed specs or you lose a ton of customersDevs were incapable of doing so.
>>736589489I still miss my lumia 735. Anything bigger than that is just silly. That thing fit my hand perfectly and could use it with just one.
>>736599835>>736599843>>736600514Jrpgs, price doesn't matter
>>736589137Just a preference on size or how big your hands are I guess.
>>736589137Switch Lite is the upper limit of an acceptable size for a handheld.
>uh I would like to get the steam deck but...>ooff owie it is simply too big to carry around!!
>>736592450>But you do need a lot of battery with portables. Otherwise you are bound by power outlets or solar.30 years later and we're back at the Game Gear conundrum. Sega was truly ahead of the curve. I think the Switch 2 is great but holy fuck is the battery life terrible.
>>736595331>The 'eck can't run... lightly jogging through the woods simulator? AAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIEEEEEE I'M GOING INSANE GABEN-SAMA SAVE MEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>736595331Kek all those copes in the replies
Brutal mogging
>>736602563we went what systems retardsince jrpgs peaked with ps1/snes literally anything around 100 bucks or less can do it
>>736602563Deck (if they still have stock) or a reasonably priced second hand N3DSXL/LL.I recently got a 3DS from a japanese ebay seller in great condition for about $150 and it was very easy to mod and change the region.
>>736595331Retard. AAA games fucking suck anyway
>>736595331You will never make anyone who has a deck hate it. It's a childhood dream device. The kind of thing "that kid" used to lie about having on the playground. Cope.
