    Hello 👋

    1. I got into handhelds with a Gameboy color when I was little. Back then I got pokemon yellow and cristal, Zelda oracle of seasons and oracle of ages, lion king and alone in the dark. Now I own few Gameboys, pokemon mini, a Switch and a 3DS I use a lot travelling.
    2. Zelda Oracle of Ages for nostalgia reasons.
    3. If you ever find a Boktai Gameboy advance cartridge, get it. I found interesting the gameplay with the light sensor.
    4. In 2017 got my console back from a box and started collecting a lot of Gameboy games (mostly color, but some for the advance). Got into modding and selling consoles for a while, which was fun.
    5. At the moment invested in TotK, but on the 3Ds I’ve recently finished Picross 3D 100%. I’m gonna miss it as a casual game, so any recommendations are welcomed 😁

    Hi :)

    1. I got my original blue 3ds back on launch day, then replaced it with a new 3ds once the animal crossing hhd bundle came across NA. I waited for a while for the normal size one to be available, I prefer it over the xl.
    2. Monster hunter generations or 4, mh4 was the reason i got a new 3ds. I also recently used hshop to get a translation patch for monster hunter XX, aka generations ultimate which never released on 3ds in english. I think it’s more comfortable to play on the 3ds, compared to the switch.
    3. Fantasy life is very relaxing and cute, easy recommendation.

    1. Well, I started with Nintendo handhelds in '89 with the Gameboy and played the living heck of that, but over the years moved to primarily TV-based consoles. Recently though, in my old age, I picked up some of the portables I never had and have a reshelled DS and a Hyrule 3DS XL. The 3DS is right behind my PS5 as favorite system of all time, mainly since it’s hacked and I can run all the games of my youth from all systems.

    2. It’s certainly due to when I was most active in gaming as a kid but any Mario sidescroller will forever live in my heart. Pick a flavor, any system, if it has a plumber and he runs and jumps, it’s my favorite

    3. I don’t really have any niche games on the DS systems these days, but if you want something really silly and esoteric, grab Penguin Wars for the Gameboy. It’s one-dimensionally terrible, annoying and utterly delightful.

    1. I got my old 2ds gifted from my uncle something like seven or eight years ago.
    2. My favorite game at the moment is “Yo-Kai Watch 2: Psychic Specter”.
    3. I don’t know if it’s still underrated but everyone should try Yo-Kai watch at least one time.
    4. The 2ds was my first console ever so it was very exciting, other than that nothing too special.
    5. Randomized yo kai watch 2.
