Worst Handheld Consoles Ever

The Top Ten
1 Sega Nomad (1995)

The graphics in and out look so fugly, games were not fun, and practically a ripoff of a game boy. Sega coping Nintendo... result is an epic fail

I call bull! The Tiger R-Zone should be #1. Yes, it's not a HAND HELD, but it's PORTABLE.

What is this on here?

2 Gizmondo (2005)

So lame it drove one-hit wonder tiger telematics into bankruptcy

So lame only about 25000 units were ever sold

3 Cybiko (1998)
4 Game Boy Advance SP (2003)

Why is this in the Top 10? In terms of design and functionality, it's better than the original GBA and its predecessors. It has a backlight.

Seriously? The GBA SP was a truly great handheld, surpassing its predecessors in every possible aspect

What? The fact my original GBA has no backlight has always been an inconvenience. I'd love an SP!

Whoever put GBA in this list is a stupid person.

5 Game King (2003)

I don't remember it, but I just looked on google images and it looks like a game boy advance rip off.

6 Gpang (2004)
7 PSP (2004/2005)
8 Virtual Boy (1995)

The first counterfeit console from Nintendo isn't really portable or hand-held. Another reason the virtual boy is as phony as a three-dollar bill is that the graphics are in red and black.

9 R-Zone

Why is the Sega Nomad #1 but not this? The Nomad is awesome since it's literally a Sega Genesis in the palm of your hands! This is legitimately terrible. The games are just as crap as the previous Tiger LCD handhelds but what makes it worse is that it's up close to your one eye in red and black meaning that you have to cross your eyes just to play the game. The colors only make it worse.

A crazy cuckoo cross between the virtual boy (note the lowercase letters) and Tiger wrist games (which barely qualify as video games)

A poorly-disguised bootleg of a poorly-disguised bootleg...

Worst console ever

10 PSP Slim and Lite (2007)

To be honest, the lite was the best because it has the best of both worlds, 3000 quality with 1000 customability, many pirated games were played on this handheld

What is WRONG with the PSP? It was the EVO of PlayStation handhelds!

What is wrong with the psp light

The Contenders
11 Tiger Game.com (1997)

It plays more games than the midget who introduced it to the world in its infamous commercial has brain cells (note the modified quote)

Game-com, Game-dot-com, either way it sucks like a vacuum cleaner.

12 Nintendo 3DS XL

First, it was the Nintendo ds.
Then, it's the Nintendo ds lite.
After, it's the Nintendo dsi and finally the Nintendo dsi xl.
After that, it was the Nintendo 3ds (really, a console that people can see in 3d without 3d glasses, they would have eye problems! )
And now, the Nintendo 3ds xl (really, Nintendo?!? -. -)

What's next? Nintendo 4ds?

You're hilarious. I LOVE the 3DS XL. The DSi is what sucks.

Why is this on the list anyway

13 Game Gadget (2012)
14 Wonderswan
15 PS Vita

As long as you have version 3.60 with HENkaku installed, then you can spoof your version and have all the home brew and games you want.

I'll be honest, having Parappa and Lammy on it was one of its biggest selling points

No risks or support for the handheld

16 Nokia N-Gage (2003)

At least the QD (=Quirky Design) model is a blatant improvement over the original taco model.

17 Pocketstation
18 Atari Lynx (1989)
19 Nintendo 2DS

Its absolutely useless. All its for is playing 3ds games in 2d, but that's not the worst of it. The worst part is the HORRIBLE design. Its got to be the most uncomfortable ga,ming experience ever

It's not made to be portable

20 Nintendo DS Lite
21 Gizmondo

So lame it appears on this list more than once

22 Nvidia Shield (2013)

This handheld console is good.

23 Game Joy Micro
24 Nintendo 3DS
25 Gameboy

I am sorry gameboy fans
