Reply to comment by sigh_riss in Hobbyist adds a hinge to the Game Boy Pocket, delighting everyone | No, it's not a Game Boy Advance SP. This is the monochrome Pocket with hinge. by chrisdh79

Have it. It's not truly a portable system the way the Gameboy or even the DS line were

It's literally a portable system in the same way GB and the DS are.

It's literally 4 times too big, fam. How is this difficult to grasp?

Still fits in my pocket if I don't feel like using the case. If I had the switch lite it'd fit easier i guess.
Don't wear skinny jeans with such tiny pockets and it won't be a problem.

You're asking for your switch to get damaged, but you do you.

Getting damaged by being in my pocket while I sit at my desk in front of a computer?
As I said I usually use the case anyways

Yeah that's what I mean, mine is in its case too. I don't know how old you are, but the old GBC and GBA especially were small enough to vanish into your pocket all day comfortably. I carry a GBA around often to this day along with my phone, wallet, keys, pocket knife, etc. You'd be hard pressed to do that comfortably with even the switch lite.

If you want a more pocket friendly device for retro games i recommend an anbernic rg353 or something similar. It's noticeably smaller than a switch, plays retro games very well, fits nicely in your pocket, and is relatively cheap.
There won't be much if any, for newer games to play on it, maybe a few indies here and there, but if snes games in your pocket is what you're after, then you'll love it.

Probably difficult for you to grasp because you have little hands.

The switch lite is barely bigger than the PS Vita and is definitely not 4x bigger than the 3ds. Amd the regular switch isn't that much bigger then the lite.

Maybe this video will help you understand.

You grasping now?
