Whatever you do do NOT sell your Vita.

 

Buy a 3DS as well if you wish, but dont sell the best portable gaming hardware ever made.

That's just the thing.  Hardware is nothing without the software.  And no matter how much to try to spin it, the Vita is lacking in quality games.  Heck, not even talking about quality games, the vita doesn't even have many games that aren't ports, remakes, indies, multiplatforms, or lower quality episodes of home console games (Uncharted, etc).

Telling someone to keep a console purely because of the technical specifications of it's hardware isn't really good advice when the most important is the software.

Thanks everyone. Just sold my Vita and bought a 3DSXL Mario and Luigi bundle from Target for $143. I'll buy the Vita back when it has more games that appeal to me.

So yeah.


Plug in Surround Sound Headphone's to the 3DS, it does 6.0 speaker sound thru the earphone jack.

If you don't have Surround Sound (3D Sound) Headphones, then I suggest:

Plantronics Gamecom 777

Its cheap and converts into 7.1 Surround Sound, and plugs into a earphone jack.

Theres a seperate microphone plug that you can just leave unplug. (the headphone I'm talking about)

The headphone cost $30 or so, so it's a good deal for Surround Sound Headphone.

And the Nintendo 3DS Speakerphones do "Virtual Surround Sound.

Go to System Settings > Other Settings > Sound......to make sure it's set to "Surround"

 

Enjoy your 3DS XL's epic awesomeness.

 

I look forward to what you have to say about your experience playing "Kid Icarus: Uprising".

I recommend keeping the Vita and buying the 3DS. Just a warning though, the 3DS is a massive step down in resolution and picture quality. If you don't mind that then by all mean pull the trigger.


Yes, people mosly don't see what the Vita can deliver in the long run because of its hardware potential and Sony studios. And they believe that they can get more better games like they got so far in 3DS in future, but all of future 3DS games will be same IP's in graphics and gameply when the technology is pushing more beautiful visuals and new kind of games from indies in tablets and Mobiles. Vita can have that kind of visuals and the new IP's that are coming from the indies along with Sony studios AAA(more 3rd party), but 3DS cannot do anything except the games Nintendo creates by milking their franchises and RPGs instead of new innovative IP's.

Just couldnt help yourself, huh? Geez...

I'm not really satisfied with what the vita has so far and they really haven't shown much for next year either. I'm thinking about selling mine to get a 3ds XL when it goes on sale for $150. Sooo yeah... should i do it?

EDIT: I've made my decision. Can a mod lock this or just ignore this thread. Thanks everyone.


good choice. i think you are late
