Since my co-hosts and I were young, many gaming handhelds have been created. What was once a novel way to play games has become, largely, the standard. Once just a handful of people had an Odyssey, Atari, or Nintendo. Now the majority of people on Earth have played a mobile game, and dedicated portable gaming devices occupy 3 of the top 4 spots of ‘best-selling game consoles.’ Portability is king, and in this episode we talk about kings of kings; the greatest gaming handhelds ever made.
