Hello, and welcome to another episode of Talk This! It’s Dangerous to Podcast Alone. This week, we’re talking portable gaming consoles. No, not your phone. Your phone is for listening to podcasts.
As always, you can listen to our podcast basically anywhere you want. Check it out on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, and Pandora (or head over to our episodes page for even more options). Or just listen below!
The Topic
What’s the history of portable gaming consoles? How did they start? Why have they mostly gone away? What was the appeal of them in the first place? What’s the appeal of them now? Will the Switch 2 fold in half?
The Actual Discussion
We talk about Nintendo’s uncontested superiority in this market and the few other consoles that did well while still not coming close to Nintendo’s crown. Emma talks about her history with various portable consoles and yearns for the good old days of the Nintendo DS. We also talk about what a portable console is now versus what it was then. All this, and more!
