Gameboy Advanced SP (gotta have backlight):
-Pokémon Crystal (long, lot's of additional content beyond the main adventure, extremely high replay value)
-The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages (one of my favourite Zelda's and a good content rich adventure)
-Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga (a fun RPG with plenty of content and with some action thrown in the mix).

Mega Man Legacy Collection
Chrono Trigger
Super Smash Bros for 3DS with all the dlc
I would miss Pokemon but this would set me for a long time.

True, what's the point of playing games when you need to look for food to survive and getting off the island.
btw, I'll get a 3ds XL so chances of an overhead rescue airplane can see the screen at night.

Actually, I think I'd rather take a Game.com with Duke Nukem 3D, Resident Evil 2 and Wheel of Fortune, thank you very much.

FF VI Advance
Zelda ALTTP Advance
AC Wild World
It's unfortunate I can't have ACNL, but I need my FF VI and ALTTP.
A less emotional, less nostalgia based and more intelligent decision would probably be a 3DS with Mario Maker, ACNL, and Mariokart 7. Infinite levels to design, the best AC, and my favorite Mario Kart.

PS Vita with Spelunky and Binding of Issac Rebirth. Don't need a third game, I'm good.
Edit: I skimmed over the the thread title. Oh well. Gonna go with a 3DS with Xenoblade Chronicles (haven't played the portable version but the Wii version was good), Animal Crossing and I guess Fire Emblem Awakening since that's the reason I got a 3DS in the first place.

Pokemon Platinum
Fire Emblem Fates
Ouendan 2
This was really tough. Mario Kart DS and Smash 4 were really hard cuts, but I already played MKDS to the point where I'm not sure if I'd be able to find much new in it (whereas I can't say that about the other three), and while I love Smash 4 I think playing it would just make me miss playing Melee (or really any Smash game properly with a Gamecube controller). Which game in each specific series was also really hard; Sun and Platinum are tied with Sun probably edging out Platinum, but I went with Platinum because I prefer its postgame. EBA/Ouendan 2 are similar with EBA being the game I prefer by a slight margin, but I went with Ouendan 2 because I think I played it a little less and because I prefer the music in it (and I wouldn't have as much music to listen to there).
There are also some games that don't really rank up with these but are still great and would be perfect for this setup, like Tetris DS/Party Deluxe, Animal Crossing New Leaf, and any of the WarioWare games.

I've already played a lot of the DS "classics", so if I were on a desert island, I should really take a GBA to play the games I've skipped.
(1) Mario Kart: Super Circuit. DS Kart is great, but I think this version stands closer to the SNES original, and therefore plays on my nostalgia strings. This is the only game on my list I've played the shit out of already - it's handheld MK perfection.
(2) Fire Emblem. I did actually start this once, but I dropped it to play the casual mode in FE: Fates. If I had more time, I'd like to pick it up again.
(3) Advance Wars. Haven't played this series; would prefer to start with the GBA original than the DS entries.

DJMAX Encore (well, it hasn't been released yet, but it does look a lot like Portable 2 or Fever. If it's anywhere near those two, it's worth it).
If DS homebrew counts, I would switch out Tetris DS for the fan made TGM on the DS, not the ideal control scheme but still fun. Gotta think of the system's longevity.
