DS lite

The light pink model. Got it when I was like 7. I was presented a choice between a red DSi and this DS lite. Being in my everything in pink phase, and not knowing anything about video games, I got the DS Lite...
My father got me an Acekard (DS flashcart that allows you to run DS roms) for this thing almost immediately after I got it. I played so many games on it because of that. Mostly Littlest Pet Shop games. My favourite game on it as kid was Madagascar 2, though.

Now belongs to my sister. She lost the charger for it somewhere... At least I can play my DS games on my 3DS..

PS Vita

My second handheld, and one of my first experiences with an online video game community! Only game I had on it initally was LittleBigPlanet PS Vita, and boy I played that game a whole lot. I loved creating and sharing levels and playing them on online multiplayer. I found a bunch of online friends on there, and I loved using the messaging app on the system, it was so much fun. There was also a voice chat app called "Party", which I used like 2 times total. Sadly lost contact with my LBP friends :(

A few years after my LBP phase, I dusted it off to play Persona 4 Golden digitally. Loved the game, but also it made me realise how much I love this console and how much wasted potential it had. There are so many games on the PS Store I would have played on my Vita if it weren't for the proprietary memory cards (I had to delete LBP to have enough space for Persona 4 and thus lost the levels I created. I regret doing that), as it was really hard to come by any physical games for the console in a small european country.
Also the console's system UI is gorgeous, in my opinion.

Recently I've been 'reviving' my Vita by buying some second-hand physical games for it.

New 3DS XL

My beloved. Incredible library of games. Runs DS carts. I hacked it recently, slapped some emulators onto it and it's now my main retro game machine. I take it with me almost everywhere, the hinge was starting to get scratched from dust or something, so I had to put tape on there...

Still have a whole lot of games on here I want to play but haven't yet.

One of my favourite things on the 3DS is the homebrew community for this console - there's so much awesome software made for it. I especially love browsing custom themes - I even made my own.

Switch

Ah. The nintendo switch. I got this on a whim, I think I saw some gameplay videos of the Link's Awakening remake and REALLY wanted to play that game. I got the console and the game. I didn't even end up finishing the game.
I've bought a couple of digital games: Rayman Legends, Katamari Damacy REROLL, Okami, some small indie titles... But I mainly play my physical games on my switch. I ended up not liking some of the games I've bought, so some of them I've sold off.

One of my biggest disappointments on this console was Pokemon Sword/Shield (I got Shield). I really did not like it.
