5 Stars
Best handheld device in my lifetime by far!
Being a 90's child, I have seen the rise of handheld gaming from Sega, Gameboy, DS, PSP, and now the Nintendo Switch. Out of all my consoloes, the Shield Portable is by far my favorite and most capable device. What can be done on the Shield Portable packs all other devices in one.
