[edit] virtual boy

i see nothing mentioned about the virtual boy. shouldn't that belong somewhere?--ZeWrestler ^Talk 17:04, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

my two cents: reading the virtual boy article, it says that it wasn't particularily portable and that playing while walking etc was impossible. the items in Handheld video game are so far all portable, and while I don't think I would walk while playing on my PSP one could. So, I would say that it doesn't nessecarily belong here. We could make an article Nintendo Poorly Thought Out Gaming Innovations and put it in there, though. :) --Syrthiss 17:20, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] history

Shouldn't most if not all of that go into handheld game console? If this is a superset of handheld consoles as it seems to be positioning itself to be, it should also cover gaming on PDAs, phones, calculators and other nonstandard equipment and perhaps more on notable software than the hardware that's already covered in the handheld console article. --24.114.252.183 04:17, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

I realized that as well, I'll move into that. Handheld video game should cover major genres of handheld video games --larsinio 13:01, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Trading Card RPG

Does the Trading Card RPG section really belong here?--ZeWrestler ^Talk 14:37, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

I just saw the header and added to it. I'd say yes; these games are far more popular on handhelds than consoles, and so they deserve special note. Kertrats | Talk 14:58, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

However, the bit at the end of the section about Pokemon is referring to the RPGs, not the Trading card game. Not sure what to do there, as adding an RPG section is self-defeating ot the description in the 'Preferred Genres' intro. Kertrats | Talk 17:15, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Bedazzled

I've never heard of a game called Bedazzled: is it possible the editor meant Bejeweled? --Sum0 11:00, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

In all likelihood, it's an unlicensed Bejeweled ripoff; I'll change it. Kertrats | Talk 14:25, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
