Personally I'm very disappointed with 3DS. I haven't bought it yet, but I know I will, cause I have way too many DS games to finish and the top screen of my DSi is sadly going to die soon :( It only shows every second horizontal line and I have no idea how to fix it or if it can be fixed at all. Makes playing most games painful :/ But back to the 3DS - I find the library to be really poor. There is not a single must-have game for me. Only games that I wouldn't mind playing like Zelda, 3D and 2D Mario or Luigi's Mansion. I would probably try Fire Emblem and Kid Ikarus out, as I've heard they are good games. Still, not a single one of these games makes me wanna buy the console.

It's kinda surprising for me, cause in the previous gen there was no doubt in my mind that DS>>>PSP, but this gen it's Vita>>>>>>>3DS. I hope the console gets more interesting games (like SMT4) before I finally decide to buy it.


SMT4 comes out this Summer in America/Europe/Australia.

SMT Soul Hackers comes out this month.

Lego City Undercover Prequel comes out this month.

 

All on 3DS exclusively.

You seem to be getting what I'm talking about and what games I like :) These two SMT games would be the first games I'd buy on 3DS. Is this LEGO game similar in gameplay to the Wii U one? Cause it looked cool. Just a couple more games like these, an original Zelda and Zelda: MM remake, redesign the console and I'll finally feel like getting it. Though I can't see it taking the place Vita has as my number 1 console.


You should check out this list of 3DS games:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nintendo_3DS_games

Its also getting such exclusives as Monster Hunter 4 & the New Persona game & Batman Exclusive.....just check out the list.

 

It has 6 speaker Sound via earphone jack (better then 5 speaker sound on Wii/PS3/360/PS Vita)

And the 3D effect makes the graphics much more crisper looking then HD graphics. But you need the 3D On which is cool on its own.

 

I can't wait to download full 3D movies (60 fps per image, since the 1930's) from the eShop, probably later this year. I'm dying to see Tron Legacy & Pirates of the Carribean 4 & etc.

 

Starting May 3rd 2013, every week will have at least 1 3D movie premiere:

It's still an uncompleted list for this year, LOL but true.

I know the games and I know that what is released thus far just isn't for me. There are a few games that are ok and I'd enjoy playing, but nothing that I'd get really excited about. I've never played a hunting game before, I guess I'll get Soul Sacrifice or finally play MHTri on my Wii and see if this genre suits me before I start thinking about MH4. And stop right there, mister!! The next Persona game is coming to Vita :P 3DS is already getting 2 other SMT games ;)



Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!

My Vita to-buy list: The Walking Dead, Persona 4 Golden, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, TearAway, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, History: Legends of War, FIFA 13, Final Fantasy HD X, X-2, Worms Revolution Extreme, The Amazing Spiderman, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - too many no-gaemz :/

My consoles: PS2 Slim, PS3 Slim 320 GB, PSV 32 GB, Wii, DSi.

But the 3DS is also getting its own Persona Exclusive:

Persona (working title)

it's in the wiki list link I posted.

 

I look forward to Batman exclusive, and the 3rd Resident Evil exclusive and new Zone of the Enders 3DS exclusive.

So I guess we'll see about Persona. I hope it hits Vita, cause I'd like to enjoy some better graphics. I'm boycotting crapcom for ignoring Vita, so I won't buy the RE game. Zone of the Enders - could be interesting. I'm totally not interested in 3D movies or movies on a handheld, sorry. Also, is this even available in Europe? Cause most media stuff is NA only.



Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!

My Vita to-buy list: The Walking Dead, Persona 4 Golden, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, TearAway, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, History: Legends of War, FIFA 13, Final Fantasy HD X, X-2, Worms Revolution Extreme, The Amazing Spiderman, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - too many no-gaemz :/

I thought the movies were available through some kind of a service like Netflix or something, isn't that correct?

Downloading full 3D movies (60 fps per image since 1930's) is thru Nintendo via eShop, plus maybe physical copy option at retailers.

About Capcom not releasing games on Vita, well they have release games for PS Vita, like Street Fighter X Tekken.

The specs:

Polygons:

3DS = 15.3 million

Vita = 33 million

GPU:

Vita = 266 MHz

3DS = 400 MHz

Shader Cores:

Vita = 12 to 18

3DS = around 60

Plus the 3DS has 1.6 BILLION Pixel Performence, while the Vita Pixel Performence is less then 500 million. The regular size 3DS Pixel Density is 22X, I hear the PS vita is at least 22X in pixel density, but the 3DS XL Pixel density is only 194, because of bigger pixels I guess.

 

Its a mix-bag, on the hardware side. Plus the 3DS does more post-processing of its photos & videos. So as I said, its a mix-bag on the hardware of these 2 handhelds.
