3DS XL or PS Vita?


(A)Kira

Recommended Posts

So as the topic implies, I'm deciding as to buying a 3DS XL or PS Vita, so which would you recommended?

 

And also there has been some news about a price drop on the Vita, so I don't know if I should wait for that too.

 

I'm not too familiar with the games gracing the Vita (Not too abundant I've been told :fear: ) , but I have a fair idea of whats awaiting me on the 3DS-

Fire Emblem ( HYPE ), Zelda (OCARINA :panic: ), Animal Crossing, Pokemon and so on and so forth.

 

And the 3DS is region locked if I'm not mistaken, so which region should I get? Most of the games will be bought from Playasia, Ebay, Amazon etc etc.

 

So what do you guys think will be a better buy?

 

Thanks for the help :cheers:

Best to wait for Gamescom , perhaps they might announce stuff that will change ur decision. ( Like Sony dropping the Vita :giggle:)

 

But for now 3DS XL ... at this point the Vita is just a fancy PS4 controller.

The fact that 3DS sells 10 times more than the Vita despite being almost same price shows that , Vita is failing because of lack of games not price.

 

Hardware wise ,The Vita is actually better than 3DS in every way ( Screen,Controller,Online MP). And having PSN Plus means you get some free games as well.

But comparing the upcoming lineup

 

3DS

Phoenix Wright 5

Monster Hunter 4

Zelda Linke between Worlds

Smash bros

Layton Vs Ace Attorney

Sonic Lost World

Pokemon X/Y

 

Vita

KZ Mercenary

Walking dead

I think I'm gonna buying a 3DS XL soon. The PS Vita is a fantastic system from what I've read, but the 3DS' software library is unbeatable. Legend of Zelda: OoT, Mario 3D Land, Mario Kart 7, Fire Emblem Awakening, Luigi's Mansion, Animal Crossing. That's 6 must-have games to check off right after I buy the system. It's an embarrassment of riches. I'm sure I've left something out and I'm not even counting the upcoming titles. The Vita on the other hand only has Persona 4 Golden and Gravity Rush as compelling reasons to buy the system at the moment. At least for me.

 

Plus, the thing is, I've never owned a Nintendo system. Killzone, Uncharted, etc I've already played on my PS3. I don't feel too motivated to only play those same games again on the Vita. But I'm absolutely salivating at the thought of finally getting to try out Nintendo's famed franchises like Mario, Zelda, etc.

PS Vita cause DS has an android emulator which is morally ok to use cause Nintendo doesn't think we exist so screw that. They've never officially launched any product here and games are harder to find/source here. Better to go with PS Vita, get a PS+ membership and enjoy digital content.

 

Also. Hotline Miami.

ROFL archy , if you are gonna screw em over like that . You might as well just buy a 3DS and a flash cart and get free games for life.

 

 

get 2DS, it will work as door stopper as well
