Résumé
DO YOU WANT TO RELIVE THE WONDERFUL HISTORY OF HANDHELD VIDEO GAME CONSOLES?Playing anytime, anywhere is every video game player's dream. Many companies have tried to make that desire a reality, but few have succeeded. Since the dawn of handheld gaming, Nintendo has been the benchmark: Game & Watch, Game Boy, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo DS, and finally the console that broke the boundaries between home and handheld gaming with the Switch.
But many companies tried to stand up to it: Game Gear, WonderSwan, PSP and PS Vita, Atari Lynx, Nokia N-Gage, Nomad, Neo Geo Pocket, Tapwave Zodiac... Each introduced interesting technologies and features in an attempt to claim the crown in the market for gaming away from home. Some succeeded. Others were major failures.
