this was the perfect handheld. nintendo should have just updated the hardware every few years but kept it pretty much the same.
>>750247331DSi had better form factor. Just keep the GBA slot (without the cart sticking out) and it'd have been the perfect handheld.
>>750247331Always preferred the original over the Lite honestly. It's only downside are the dim screens (which I never cared about) everything else is a direct upgrade over the lite. Better form factor, better buttons, better button placement, flush GBA cartridge slot, better hinges (when the plastic was fresh anyways) and it didn't require a dumbass charger that was never used again since it shared chargers with the GBA SP.

>>750251039I had the launch GBA and this, while everyone else seemed to wait for the updated editions.
>>750251039I had this and ended up skipping the Lite and got a DSi. I always liked it and the GBA slot was convenient.The DSi was pretty neat for the time. DSiWare was cool and having a built-in web browser was pretty fucking awesome for 2009. I remember using IRC on it and looking up rule34 of pic related after playing Mighty Flip Champs
>>750247331Well they did that with the 3ds...
>>750247331Too bad a majority of the ganes were shovelware garbage and casual shit especially from Nintendo themselves.
>>750251039Same, unfortunately my phat literally crumbled in my hands an year ago since the plastic has weakened. Now I have to order chink shell since nobody does quality shells for phat that are actually available.>>750251330True.
>>750247331Yep, it was a solved form factor for decades at that point. Fold-able phones are all the rage now.
