I want to convince myself into buying a 3DS, but just can't seem to find a valid reason for this purchase. I'm really fed up with Mario games, haven't even played all of the ones I have for the Wii! So if I decide I want to play me some Mario, I'm gonna start my Wii or DS (I still play them from time to time anyway). Zelda? Well, Ocarina of Time is tempting, but not tempting enough. If N released a remake of Majora's Mask, then I'd most probably consider getting a 3DS.
But to tell the truth - there just are next to no games that I'd really want to play on 3DS. What is more, playing it would feel like playing previous gen compared to what Vita gives me. The screen quality, the graphics, the controls, the sheer built quality of the console, all is inferior.
Additionally, my favourite genre of games are TPP games and they are just so much better on Vita with double analogs and beautiful graphics (Uncharted is mindblowing, ACIII:L is good as well, Gravity Rush is very good and we have a sequel coming, I'm hoping for an inFamous as well). Apart from TPP games I love RPGs, but mainly wRPGs, so again 3DS just doesn't cut it. I know Vita doesn't have wRPGs as well, so here is a field that 3DS could possibly step into.
So what would N have to do to get my money? Redesign the 3DS to include the second analog stick, release a bunch of awesome TPP games and a bunch of Western RPGs (preferably with TPP perspective as well ;) ). As it is right now - I'll just probably wait till 3DS is pretty much dead, then buy it and its best games on the cheap.
Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!
