Instead of selling it, you should do these 7 things on your handheld console

The dominance of smartphone flexibility and the new standard that Nintendo Switch created as a ‘portable console’ made it harder for handheld console variations to reveal themselves. With only a few units still on sale and game support discontinued, many people are choosing to sell their handhelds and buy more relevant gaming devices. But if we look at the other side of the function of handhelds, there are many other things that are more useful than selling them now at relatively low prices, here are 7 things you can take advantage of from handhelds.

Modern handheld consoles are generally equipped with complete multimedia features, one of which you can take advantage of is an MP3 player. Some handhelds such as the PSP 3000 have audio quality that can outperform smartphones so that listening to music is more fun. With this you can save your smartphone storage and listen to music with better audio quality.

2. File Saver

In addition to backups, you can also use this feature to store files such as photos, videos, and even office files. For those of you who are worried that your computer storage or flash drive is corrupt at some point, you can save the file on your handheld.

3. Controller/Secondary screen

Remote play is now available on smartphones, but the convenience of the controller will never be replaced by a touch screen. What’s more, the software on the handheld has been optimized well so that it can use the remote play feature. By using the remote play feature on your handheld, you can now enjoy AAA games in rooms that are generally inaccessible to your home console or PC, such as terraces, gardens, or attics.

4. Use For Experiments

You can tinker with many things from your handheld, starting from just changing the appearance, adding certain programs to add features, to installing new programs on the handheld. However, since most security patches have been discontinued, you should be careful of malware attacks.

5. Game Collection

Although there are, but not many games with the main series that are really intended for handhelds, some of the games on handhelds are usually spin-offs to explore more in the world built from a main series of games. For those of you who really love a franchise, you can ‘use’ your handheld to complete your collection, some interesting spin-offs such as Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker, Final Fantasy Crisis Core, and Killzone Mercenary are games that are only available on handhelds. . Some of these games are also rare, so collecting these games might be your investment in the future, you can sell this game collection in the future at a high price.

6. As a Form of Investment

Because some handhelds are no longer produced, handhelds are becoming rare, this rarity in the next decade may be something that is sought after and becomes an item of more value, especially for handhelds that are quite rare such as the Nvidia Shield, Gameboy Advance, and Tapwave Zodiac. Instead of being sold at a relatively low price at this time, you may be able to be patient to increase the value of the handheld you have.

7. Give to Brothers/Children

Img 26062020 142812 (800 X 450 Pixels) Some people argue that the development of mobile games has a bad impact on players because of the aggressive microtransaction-based gameplay, of course this is even more dangerous if it is in the hands of children. Handheld consoles have thousands of interesting games with exciting gameplay and can be obtained at full price without microtransactions, so introducing handhelds to relatives/children is a wiser step than giving smartphone games. With this you can also help build a healthier gaming community and help fight mictotransactions.
