3DS feels too archaic to me hardwise to bother with. I can't get excited for the 3D and the fact the console has no real online interface, next to no media features and smaller screens with old touch technology just turns me off, personally. But maybe you just want something to play games on.
Vita is a sweet piece of kit but it comes at a bit more of a premium. You just got to look at the games and decide which look like it suits you more. Baring in mind you've apparently never played a Mario or Zelda suggests to me the 3DS doesn't really suit you though, but i guess it depends on what you actually have played.
