Why is it so much more comfortable than all the other Game Boy models?

I am not sure I agree, but let's say I do. It's because it has no shoulder buttons, which force you to provide a counter-force with your palms and wrist whenever you press them. This is more fatiguing. Similarly, with so few buttons, many games do not require more than simple inputs.

You agree.

The OG Game Boy is more comfortable because of its larger size. The GBA along with every other horizontal style handheld are of course the better option.

>> No.9200954

>>9200805
Even as a kid I found it pretty comfortable to hold for long periods of time. More comfortable than the Color or Pocket, at least; I never had a GBA. It's definitely more comfortable than the SP to me nowadays even though I love the SP.

I'm trying to have an intelligent discussion about retro video game handheld. Please don't devolve the topic into pointless sexual innuendo.

Because its bigger, that's not hard to figure out

It's thicker. It fits your palm better, especially adult sized hands.

I always preferred the Pocket, even into adulthood. But I have tiny feminine Donald Trump hands.

I hate how Nintendo managed to make the comfiest handheld ever but went back to uncomfortable bricks afterwards.

Because it was made for the hands of Japanese salarymen rather than the hands of Japanese children.

Because you think saying that makes you one of the cool kids

Because it's two handfuls worth of hardware.
I can hold GBC in one hand and reach all the buttons. I think last time I replayed pokemon red I did it entirely one handed.

No I am not wrong. get your head of of your ass, ya fucktard. Learn to realize that not everyone is the same.

You are genuinely wrong if you don't think the OG Game Boy is the most comfortable model. This is not up for debate.

OK then, fucko, show me a timestamped comparison between the OG Game Boy, Game Boy Pocket, and Game Boy Color. show your work.

The fuck? What part of that sounds outlandish? My hands aren't even big.
I also play N64 left hand only whenever it's a slow boring dialogue part.

It's the one I had as a kid.
It's not. Comfy screen but very heavy, and it was very inefficient with batteries so you had to constantly change them. Was practically impossible to use outside too

This, this site is filled with children that think buttons near the edge is perfectly okay.
I am not a fat fuck either, i'm a tiny manlet with baby hands but every single handheld ever made except the GB has horrible ergonomics not designed for adults.
