Best looking Handheld console?

[Haydn Jones]

Someone sugesten best looking console, but with only 20 options, i couldent come up with a shortlist that would make everyone happy. So what do you think is the best looking handheld? If you like the look of a handheld in a certain colour tell me, The black and red gameboys were nice for example.

PS. maybe you can name some of the ugliest hand helds. Game.com and that quick shot abomination (what was it called) spring to mind.

i like the heavy, serious look of a turbo express. it always reminded me of those early GPS devices people had on boats. its got that sharp screen and the bezel protector. of course big and rugged isnt necessarily what people want in a portable. number two would be the nomad for similar reasons, excellent job carrying over the genesis look to a portable format. if i could go really out there i'd pick the hi-saturn navi, but who has one of these?

ugliest is easily the game.com model 1, mine has such scratching on the case its hideous.

Thats realy nice system, be great on a boat. But it certinaly isnt a hand held, There was a pc enging on the same principle (without the list of features) also.

I love the metal red gba sp and the neo geo pocket has all those sweet colors. My favorite was always that blue camouflage.

It will surprise everyone that I didn't vote NGage. I love the thing, but it has nothing on the Gameboy Pocket in the looks department in my book. Remember when the GBP came out, in like a million colours? After all the gigantic monsters that preceded it it was sweet. It still looks great and is very portable.

As for different colors and models, I like the blue game gear and nes sp but I picked the psp. It's the best looking in my opinion.And it manages being one of the smaller,sleeker ones and still having the biggest screen.

PSP for me. It just is plain amazing!

[Jess Ragan]

I gotta go with the PSP on this one. That sleek black capsule design looks both futuristic and sophisticated all at the same time.

 

Honorable mentions go to the Neo-Geo Pocket Color (boxy, yet sporty!) and the Game Boy Advance SP NES Edition. The DS isn't too bad, either, although I tend to think it's got too much case and not enough screen (seriously, those screens look tiny next to the PSP).

 

Ugliest handhelds include the original N-Gage, the Sega Nomad (I love the concept, but man, just look at that thing!), and the original maxipad shaped Lynx. It looks like you should give it to your hulking, eight-foot tall girlfriend during her time of the month, rather than play video games on it. I don't think the game.com LOOKS terrible... it's just completely unimpressive in every other respect.

I've never even seen half the handhelds listed, so I can't make an honest vote. How about some pictures?

[SteveW]

Yeah, the Gizmondo hasn't come out over here. I haven't seen much of anything about it on this side of the pond. But then, that's kind of understandable. The US market is an incredibly competitive market.

Lynx II

 

...especially with Warbirds on the screen

 

The GBA SP NES Edition comes in a close second.

I hadn't realized how nice the NGPC looks untill I saw it in that group shot.

Funny, since I own 2 of them(silver and ocean styles).

 

 

But I gotta give it to the Wonderswans. The SwanCrystal wins my vote.

[Radio F Software]

I say Game.com... I liked all the colors they came out with for the GC Pocket.

[Haydn Jones]

hear are the rest. And the ugly system i couldnt name? Supervision, i found 2 different models. Oh and the wonderswan color is the gundam model..

PSP is easily the best looking, with the GBA SP NES version clocking in at number 2. The PSP looks like it should be part of Darth Vader's armor...

Yeah i think the worst looking system goes to the sega game gear. Good god is the game gear ugly! Its huge for one thing i think its as large as a mini cooper if not bigger. Not to mention those ugly blue buttons that stand out like a soar thumb. And whats with that stupid metal stand it had what did sega think people were going to display the thing? The game gear is the uglyest hand held ever created and i would go as far to say its 1/4 as ugly as the honda element.

I say there tie the only thing the agme gears got going for it is the fact that its color so no ugly green screen.
