One handheld for life, what are you choosing?

[hazys]

Similar to my "one console for life" thread: if you were only allowed to play one retro handheld for the rest of your life, which would you choose?

Assume that:

• You have access to the entire library (including QoL hacks and fan translations)
• You have all peripherals and add-ons for the system
• You have people to play with, either locally or online (or both)
• You CANNOT play other systems' games, even through emulation or backwards-compatibility

Personally I think I'd go with the DS (or more specifically the DSi XL)... There's way too much variety in terms of games, and the library is massive. I'd miss Monster Hunter though.

I'd go with the DS too, I have very fond memories with it, and the variety of games it has is a massive appeal to me, the fact you don't even have to worry about regional bios or whatevs to play games is a plus as well.

I enjoy the 3DS's library the most. It's got everything I could want, Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy, Mario, Animal Crossing, Zelda, Mighty Switch Force, Minecraft, Pokemon, Kirby, Smash, Persona, SMT, everything.

3Ds. It is the one system that I sent most time on even when I had stuff like the PS4. It is my first love.

Nintendo DS: by far one of the most extensive game libraries I've ever seen, featuring many unique and fantastic games like Ghost Trick and The World Ends With You, easily one of my favorite handhelds.

Ghost Trick, SMT Strange Journey and Devil Survivor(although Overclocked is even more peak), Solatorobo, Ouendan duology+EBA, TWEWY, DQ games, Mario Kart DS, Jump Ultimate Stars, GTA Chinatown Wars, Pokemon BW duology, Pokemon Conquest, Another Code, Kyle Hyde duology, the Castlevania trio, Radiant Historia, the best PVZ port, Biohazard Deadly Silence and Kirby games

the answer is very clear
