DS had quite a few great games. New 3DS has Xenoblade though, so it wins by default.


This.

DS has more quality games. In the same amount of time as the 3DS though, it's about the same.  DS has a slight edge though.

PSP has more quality games in the same time frame than Vita, 3DS, and Vita.

Poor Vita, so few quality games it had to be said twice.

There's something about the DS that kinda feels off for me. Not a bad console by any menas (in fact, it has one of my favorite handheld games + other pretty fun games). But I don't know, the PSP feels more of a "worthy" successor to the GBA to me.

I really can't explain it. I don't have a 3DS anyway.

Well, if you consider everything a bad game, I'd say obviously 3DS is a better choice

I just consider Phantom Hourglass a bad game. The first 3 Phoenix Wright games debuted on the GBA, and Mario 64 was on the 64.

So, you leave Resident Evil: Deadly Silence whose main new feature is touching Jill's ass with the stylus, but ditches Super Mario 64 DS which added three new characters, minigames and revamped the controls to work perfectly on the handheld?
