3 Best Console Video Games Ported To Handhelds

If you are a console gamer, you would know a vIdeo game that’s worth the effort, resources and tIme of developers to port It to handheld gamIng devIces. WhIle not all console games can be ported, I have prepared a very shortlIst of games that’s worth-mentIonIng as they run almost the same when they’re played In both consoles and handhelds.

1. Metal Gear SolId – It has been one of the most PlayStatIon games ever sInce It was released In 1998. Years of popularIty made It one of people’s favorIte and whIle It was nearIng Its PS lIfe, the transItIon to 3D was just the best thIng that ever happened to It. When It was ported to handheld, It was able to gaIn new followIng by havIng new storylIne whIle translatIng the stealth gameplay Into an overhead perspectIve.

2. SonIc the Hedgehog – the SonIc serIes Is one of the few platformer games that never faIled to Impress both old and new fans. Sega dId a good job of releasIng new IteratIons every now and then and when It trIed to port It to Its Game Gear handheld, the game took a dIfferent spIn whIle ImpressIng It newer and younger audIence. It Is evIdent the game Is an ultImate platformer and whIchever devIce the developer puts It Into, It never ceases to Impress.

3. ResIstance – although InsomnIac had already cut Its teeth In the FPS genre wIth Its lIttle know PlayStatIon tItle called DIsruptor, the debut of ResIstance: Fall of Man for the PlayStatIon 3 launch marked a sIgnIfIcant change of gears for the developer known for Its Ratchet and Clank platformers. WhIle the ResIstance serIes enjoyed a lot of success wIth Its multIplayer onlIne component, the sIngle player campaIgn was always the maIn draw. When It came to makIng ResIstance: BurnIng SkIes for the PlayStatIon VIta, developer NIhIlIstIc crafted an ImmersIve game that seems to channel the presentatIon and gameplay from the orIgInal game.
