My portable system collection

Well, here's my collection of Nintendo handhelds.  I'm notably missing the Virtual Boy, but that system gives me a headache, so I have little interest in owning it.

These are all the carrying cases I use for my systems.  The smallest case holds some extra Game Boy games:



I received an original model Game Boy back in Christmas of 1990 (along with my brother), but when the Game Boy Color came out in 1998, I sold my original Game Boy to some kid at my high school and got a Game Boy Color.  I keep the Game Boy Color stored in this carrying case that you could only order from Nintendo Power's Super Power Supplies Catalog.  I suppose this type of carrying case is hard to find now.  I have a Four Player Adapter, but sadly, I've never used it.


Here all the boxes for the Game Boy/Game Boy Color games.  There are several games that I used to own but sold somewhere along the line (like Baseball and Snoopy's Magic Show).


Here's my Arctic color Game Boy Advance that I got on the Game Boy Advance's launch date in 2001.  I originally picked up the system with Castlevania: Circle of the Moon and Super Mario Advance.  That was a fun launch, especially since the system only cost about $80 (don't you just miss the old low prices?  I sure do).


Here are all the boxes.  I could use some more GBA games, but most of the good games on the system are just ports of games I already own.


I keep my Nintendo DS Lite in this carrying case:


The 3DS is stored in this Pull and Go case.  I really like this thing:


So that's everything.  The 3DS is a work in progress, but I'll have to wait and see what good games come out for that.
