Join average guy Nate (@KonceptioN_2, twitch.tv/konception2) on a journey to experience the highs and lows of handheld video games. Games from various devices will be explored, including Nintendo systems, Playstation systems, and even some more abstract or less popular ones. There will be features on instant classics, hidden gems, and absolute dumpster fires. Grab a drink and your system of choice, plug your headphones in, and let’s hop into these adventures together.
On the season 1 finale, Nate gets into the meat and potatoes of the first ever on-the-go entry for a Super Smash Bros. game. Does it hold a candle to Smash Ultimate? Does it stand the test of time?
