Having owned every handheld…. The Vita is only one I actually still play
Had my vita for a while, and played it a lot but of course when the steam deck came in I got that so I could play some AAA games and then the Rog Ally and Switxh which seemed to be an improvement so I played those. Playing game cube titles and ps2 classics was fun but I soon realised that I wasn’t playing these handhelds much, in fact it seemed a chore to do so, maybe because they were so big to carry around. They just gathered dust.
Then I decided to update my vita with some latest ports and emulators and I got right back into it! It’s such a cool device and there’s a real charm to customising it with designs and games, not to mention I carry it everywhere! It’s the only handheld that I genuinely want to play all the time…. So I’m giving it the official title “Greatest Handheld ever made!”.
I will say that utilising the remote play function was a big thing as I play a lot of my favourite titles through it and it works amazingly well away from home.
This has happened to a couple people I know as well. Think size does really matter.
