Nintendo DS. Loved how it felt in my hands.

The DS Lite was too sharp and felt fragile. The 3DS was a gimmick, and the 2DS was the best 3DS version, but lacking folding hurt how portable it was. It never felt right having the screens exposed in my pocket. Losing GBA compatibility was also a deal breaker.

The OG DS was a perfect evolution of the GBA and I will take both of mine to my grave.

They made the 2DS XL which folded.

I disagree completely about the 3D. I love it! It enhanced so many games, and many games included the 3D effect in the puzzles themselves, like in Mario 3D Land. And it was so much fun in A Link Between Worlds to make scary jumps down dozens of feet to land on a small platform. Especially the tower of Hera and the path to the ore mine.

However, the 3D effect added to games like Shovel Knight were not impressive, and I would turn it way down or off altogether.
