There have been so many handheld Nintendo consoles over the years, it's impossible to put them all on one page. I'm talking beyond the Gameboy and DS Lite - Nintendo has released well over 300 portable console devices since the early 80's of every shape and size. In this special report, I've dug up ancient history to reveal how these systems have evolved over the years, yet have remained strinkingly similar to designs of years past. What does a 20 year old monochrome simplistic Mario LCD game have in common with a sophisticated Wifi wireless system? Check out the photos below and see for yourself.

BECAUSE LONG, LONG, LONG BEFORE THE DS LITE......

              

OR THE NINTENDO DS FATBOY....

OR THAT WACKY NINTENDO VIRTUAL BOY....

 

 

OR BEFORE THE GAMEBOY...

         

AS WELL AS BEFORE THE GAMEBOY COLOR.....

     

 

AND THE GAMEBOY MICRO....

 

DON'T FORGET THE GAMEBOY ADVANCE SP....

 

OR THE GAMEBOY ADVANCE....

AND THEIR MULTIPLAYER STUFF

 

AND ALL THOSE ADVANCES IN GAMING TECHNOLOGY....

 

...THERE WAS THE NINTENDO GAME AND WATCH!!!

 

It's no wonder that their handhelds are outselling the
PSP... look at all the practice they've had!

 

 

bonus: check out this retro massive game and watch collection

 

 

There are dozens more variations of the Watch and Game series than what we have captured here. If you're interested in finding more, I recommend this search on Google Images.
