This actively pisses me off.
The chances of Nintendo putting out a Switch 2 mini that can fit in a pocket is 0%

>>719011196
Not even the Switch Lite was pocketable

Shut the fuck up tendie pajeet, everyone hates you

Pocketable makes no sense anymore because everyone already has their phone in their pocket. Carrying multiple electronic devices in your pockets is deranged. That's why they integrated music playback into the phone because separate mp3 player and phone was extremely cumbersome.

This is why we need another Xperia Play.

I just ordered the S25 Ultra, it's 6.9'' 3120×1440

how do handheldcucks cope

>>719010982 (OP)
I was concerned before release the switch 2 was too big
Now I have one its alright for playing but you can't really fit it in a pocket anymore.

>>719011504
Yeah that seems like it would have been the wiser measure than raw resolution.
Or even better ppc

We're all laughing at you

>>719010982 (OP)
They used to not need huge screens because they were small enough to hold closer to your face.

>>719011504
Also the steam decks

and I fucking love it. hell I wish the S2 screen had even smaller bezels so the screen could be bigger. only handlers complain about handheld sizes

>>719010982 (OP)
I want a side Nintendo handheld that uses the size/designs of the modern Game&Watch special anniversary systems they released that fits in your pocket, uses small game carts, wireless multiplayer and plays smaller, gameboy to gba/DS graphical quality games. Call the Super Game&Watch or something.

A shame kids don't wear cargo shorts/pants anymore.

Skinny jeans are fucking gay. Always.

Do you guys not have phones??

>>719011552
>S25
I'm still using my Samsung S6.
Because idngaflyingf about playing games or browsing the Web on my motherfucking phone in public. It makes calls, plays music and has access to Google MAPS. Done.

If I'm going on vacation, I'll bring my camera, thanks.

>>719011246
not even the gameboy was pocketable in child size pants

I actively prefer the larger form factor of recent handheld devices

>>719014690
You have poor taste. I disagree with your opinions and hate what you consume.

>>719014690
Woe upon your family

evolution of my cock size hahaha :-D

that chart? the growth of my peanus weanus :-DD

I travel pretty frequently for work and pleasure and the Steam Deck case fits just fine in my backpack. I don't really have any occasions where I would both not have my backpack and still have downtime for playing games, so that's portable enough for me. It's also just a lot more comfortable for my hands and eyes, and more kinds of games are available to me due to the higher specs and larger screen. Was on a plane over the weekend and had a great time going through a few missions in Blue Revolver

>>719010982 (OP)
do we have screenspace percentages for those devices? It looks like PSP would win this category

>>719010982 (OP)
When will get a 72 INCH PLASMA TV SET IN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND

The GBA really was the perfect handheld.

>>719011475
>That's why they integrated music playback into the phone because separate mp3 player and phone was extremely cumbersome.
They literally already solved it.
Why has nobody cashed in on this design since
, you could easily make these with 1TB of storage, bluetooth connectivity, and absurdly long batteries, and it wouldn't even cost that much to produce.

>>719010982 (OP)
I blame the vita for trying so hard to blur the line between handheld and console gaming. Now instead of getting 20+ hours of battery life on sleek, inexpensive, pocket friendly devices, we get bulky, expensive bricks with 2 hours of playtime if you're lucky. All just to play the worst version of any given game.

Anyone planning on picking up a chink DS?

>>719016163
The Vita, much like the PSP, wasn't meant to be a handheld in the same sense as Nintendo's lineup.
The PSP was an iPod competitor, and the Vita continued that throughline by competing with the newer smartphones.

>>719015770
why because people charge their phone every day anyway, All that better screen tech eats up all the extra battery life anyway.

I'm not even sure if battery life improved any meaningful way over the last 20 years. my first smartphone is like half the size of any modern phone. My first lcd mp3 player lasted easily a week. Smartphones still have an expected battery life of 1-2 days.

yeah fuck backlight and 3d games

>>719010982 (OP)
handhelds peaked in 2012 and then were promptly overshadowed by the rise of cellular niggers.

>All that better screen tech eats up all the extra battery life anyway.
Just do it like an apple watch, those things can last two full days on a single charge, while maintaining connectivity and doing shit like vitals checks.
A gimped version of that could probably run for a week, even with a screen, as the screen only functions when interactions are occurring.

>>719011196
Embrace the sling bag.
Holds my wallet, phone, cigs, game system, misc shit

>>719016381
I'm still debating whether to get the Thor or the flip ds, the latter has a bigger screen and raw power for the more demanding systems. base Thor is much cheaper and would be perfect for simple emulation though...

>>719016857

>>719016728
you know about Yotaphone, it had an e-ink display on the backside. You'd think this would greatly improve battery life, but it didn't really shine there as well. Maybe it was better for reading e-books, but the normal use battery life was at best average.
People are just used to charging every day, that nobody cares about innovation in that field. Every extra bit of energy will just be wasted on whatever.
I miss the time when we had efficient screens for specific devices that only showed the necessary information, instead of slapping a HD 12gorillion colors touchscreen on everything. A shame e-ink screen went nowhere.

PSP/DS Lite seem like the biggest something can get and still be comfortable
even my New 3DS XL always felt pretty uncomfortable to hold
I got a steam deck years ago and I rarely even use it just because it's uncomfortable to hold for more than about 30 minutes
maybe my hands are just too small

>>719016443
I don't remember much about the vita, because everyone in high school had a 3ds, but i distinctly remember vita being advertised playing boarderlands 2. I just assumed it was aiming to be a handheld console
>>719016584
Ideally all handhelds would be OLED screens that had excellent batteries and modest specs so that you can play good looking games with maximum battery life. Instead you get 40 fps cyberpunk for 40 minutes.

>>719010982 (OP)
How did we survive with a 3 inch 32 bit full color screen and a whole day of battery life?

>>719016857
anyone that uses this is either a drug dealer or gook

There's a reason the GB Micro was the best GBA.

>>719018012
having good games to play helped, for one

>>719010982 (OP)
vita was the perfect size, we need to go back

>>719018373
Best screen in terms of quality. Best shoulder buttons as well.

I want consoles that look like this, but have games specifically designed for it, instead of it just being an emulator machine

HD games require larger displays. You simply can't make out the details at 7'' and below. 8'' is minimum for HD era games.

>>719018505
OG GBA shoulders were fine. Lite's were hard on the fingers. I did quite like Micro's until I had to open mine up twice to fix it, since the membrane inside would eventually slip off the contact.

>the Steam Deck was 7 inches 1280 X 800
You just know the Steam Deck 2 will be 7.9 inches 1920 X 1200 when it comes out in 2027

>>719018672
You say that, but phones have a 6-7 inch screen and people game on those just fine.
