Handheld consoles sound like a pretty cool concept in schools I guess? I’m just now realising it’s never been much of a thing where I live, but I’m sure it has been, or still is, for a lot of you.

What kind of games do you play, or remember playing, when killing time during breaks? Tetris? Pokémon? Xenoblade? Or some multilayer game? Do other people participate?

And also, what handheld is the best model for this purpose I wonder? Sounds to me like the original GB just might be the best choice due to how bulletproof it is. Or maybe 2DS from the more modern era.

    I used to play the 3DS version of Super Smash Bros on my original 2DS during the lunch breaks of my freshman and sophomore year in high school with a few friends. It was a good time. We usually had at least three of us playing it at one time. Sometimes the full four player limit. I haven’t played much of Smash Ultimate, as I don’t own it myself, but I was always a Samus and Zero Suit Samus main back in Smash 4. One of my friends really enjoyed playing as Duck Hunt, while another always mained Toon Link. The other friend that joined us occasionally typically played Greninja. Very fond memories even though I usually lost. Another thing to mention is that my school did a Smash Bros tournament on the second to last day of school most years, so that was also really fun. I remember getting absolutely destroyed by a Sonic player at my school in one of them. I got a little salty for some reason, but it was still fun.
