Pikmin 3, Nintendoland, Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze, X, all designed very clearly for a big screen experience.

Mario & Luigi, Kid Icarus, Pokemon, Animal Crossing, etc, clearly designed for a small screen. Plus, the 3DS versions of franhcises like  Mario Kart are similarly simplified for their handheld iterations, made smmaller and more "intimate", like the difference between TV and movies.

You are right, there are some games on the home console which have yet to make the jump to handheld and visa versa, however, I just required a few games to disprove your counter point "3DS and Wii U do not share an identical library", what i actually said was " yet the 3DS and WiiU share almost identical first party library.", They maybe 'simplified', 'smaller, and more 'intamate' as you say, but they are fundementally the same games, in any case you confirmed what i've already stated above.

 To use your TV/Movie analogy, The Stargate movie spawned the stargate series, although one was a movie and one was a TV series, they are fundementally the same when it comes to content and universe, sure one is more action heavy and the other more character driven but one can not look at both and then come to the conclusion that one doesn't containt what makes stargate, stargate. Same goes for Buffy the vampire slayer, but then you also have TV series turned into Movies, like the X-files  and the A-Team.

If done right, is it a bad thing to have a home console experiance on a handheld similarly to how Movie can spawn a TV series?

As I've said before, to me it isn't, I loved the the Uncharted series along with Killzone on my PS3, So when I played Uncharted golden abyss, I had the same experiance as the larger screen but with a new story, the game suspend on my PSvita made the game an easy pick up and go game, played it while going to work. I'll now be having the same experiance with Killzone mercenary.

I didn't confirm anything. Games from the same franchises =/= the same games. Differences in content matter more than the words in the title.

And you're in the minority then; sales have never really reflected a widespread desire for modern-home-console type games on handhelds. Most people prefer to play those type of games on big screens.

You seem to be oblivious to the obvious and it seems not matter how much I try you seem to be unable to grasp any of my points I made about home console expiriance on portables, despite me pointing to Nintendo games that do just that and have done very well from themsels, and depsite me being an advocate for that because it broadens whats available on the platform, which at the end of the day is a good thing for consumers. Yet you brush it aside as if that was a bad thing but never explain...so perhaps I should let you be, as they saying goes "ignorance is bliss" ** .

Before I let you be, please indulge me one last time by answering my unanswered question:  If done right, is it a bad thing to have a home console experiance on a handheld similarly to how Movie can spawn a TV series?
