I like how there's a lot of Vita love in the thread.

I'm more of a mobile gamer. I get bored too easily with home consoles, although I'm itching to buy a Wii U. I guess it's because I've only had a PS2 and a Wii. I never liked Sony games and Wii is not HD, which is kind of a bad thing, but I've had lots of fun with it.

My life is pretty great right now, I've beaten several games in the past few months and I'm planning on buying many more in the next few weeks (I'm looking at you, Majora's Mask 3D).



Only handheld gaming I do is on mobile... Castle Clash ftw!



It's all about the game.

Started off the year with a new Xperia Z3, tried to get into some of the games on Android, and use some emulators, but it was the worst gaming experience I have ever had. I will admit some games can be fun, anything that is timing based taps, or turn based works very well, but anything that requires movement, forget it.

I addition to the mobile games, I gave remote play a go. It worked OK, but is impossible without a DS4. Peggle and Don't Starve worked well, but Destiny, DriveClub, The Last Tinker, etc. impossible.

Last 3 weeks, I changed things up. I discovered how well Skype worked over 3G on my Vita, and realized I could use it as my phone for less than 20 a month on my existing data plan. Never touched the Z3 since. Now I have been playing Hot Shots Golf, WipEout 2048, Need For Speed Most Wanted, GT PSP, WWE2011, MLB14, Killzone Mercenary, and Tearaway locally, and PS Now and Remote Play work brilliantly via Wifi. After the last 3 weeks, I am 100% ready for a Playstation Phone with 4G access to all of the PSN services. With PSM offering all of the calculators, timers, work out, dieting, weather, maps, news, social, book, and many more apps than I will ever use, I have all of the stuff I was doing on my Galaxy S's and Xperia Z's on a device that can actually do what I want.



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.

KBG29 on PSN&XBL

My Mobile had a demo of Block Breaker 3: Unlimited. Then I bought the full version to play at my college.

To be honest, I'm not much into portable/mobile gaming.

I've been playing online portable games lately... orz

I play a bit of Animal Crossing and Tomodachi Life everyday. When those are done, I get to Bravely Default. I've been trying to finish that for awhile.

Hasn't existed in about a year. Last 3DS game I bught was Fire Emblem Awakening, I'm more interested in the Wii U than th Vita or 3DS tbh.



Loving my iPhone, so my portable gaming life is going great.

Oh yeah, Gamestop also shipped out my Majora's Mask 3D Collectors Edition.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)     

    

Got a retro room? Post it here!

I have a 3DS and PS Vita (both pre-ordered). Play Vita much more than any other system my PS4 is used second most. I listen to music on Music Unlimited (offline mode is used for games that disable networking) while playing KZ:M, R&C:C, Sly Cooper: Thieves In Time, Jak Collection, MineCraft, Super Stardust: Delta, Wipeout: 2048 and a few others.

I don't use remote play very much there are days where it works almost flawlessly, days it has some image distortion because of lag and days where it doesn't connect at all. 

The YouTube App is going away which is annoying to me and a step backwards. Maps is going away which is upsetting to hear, but is actually not as bad as it sounds as the PS Vita's browser handles Google Maps so much better and faster than the built-in Maps app and is comparable to the Android maps app.

Near is dying which is also not cool as some games used it... Well not many Street Pass and Spot Pass isn't very functional and it isn't very popular on my street anymore either, but at least Nintendo isn't removing it from the 3DS. Still I hope Sony adds more features to the Vita to make up for what is being removed. A notepad, copy/paste, even faster browsing with more HTML 5 support and WebGL support. I use the E-mail app on Vita often and the calendar app is used a lot too even though I don't take the systems out.

Mobile phone games are dead to me. Better versions of many Android games are on Vita like Table Top Racing, Zen Pinball 2, ect.

I don't use the 3DS very often anymore. I mostly just check the store and see whats New every once in a while... I want to like my 3DS, but it isn't entertaining me anymore. The New 3DS is a cash grab in my opinion and the Amibos drive that point home for me. I haven't beaten DC:CR3D yet so I should go back and play that. I honestly don't know why I haven't.



Only a PS Vita at the moment. Playing Hotline Miami. It's a fun game. Prior to that was LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes and MotoGP 13, both of which I liked.
