Can anyone tell me what I am missing about the 3DS

I am going to post one last response and then I am done with this thread and I recommend this to everyone else as well. The 3DS DOES NOT have console quality games for 2014 that is the bottom line and that is what I want. The 3DS is not getting one of my favorite games of 2012-13 (Terraria) or Minecraft.

The 3DS Zelda-s probably are better games than KZ but that does not mean the Zelda-s are not overpriced

PSVita has plenty of great Indies and I would rather have Indies than overpriced retail.

Does this make the 3DS a bad handheld? No, does it make it a bad console for me? Yes.

 

Metrium obviously does not get it at all. It is nothing to do with the graphics. Quite a few of my favorite games as of late have been 16-bit but they price theirself accordingly 3DS games are not priced accordingly. I can buy stuff from 2005 on my PSVita that cost 5$ with the same or higher quality that anything on 3DS. I need to buy Patapon on my Vita =)

It obviously does have to do with graphics, what other factor are you looking at to judge wether or not 3DS have ''console quality'' games? You are using screenshots of two different game and claiming that 3DS is not console quality... That almost established that graphics is important to you as a fact. Since you are not playing those games you can't use any other factors.

But let me tell you my point of view... Golden Abyss can be cleared in 10hours or so... Same for pretty much all current PS4 exclusives that are soo much ''console quality''... Meanwhile Bravely Default will take around 60hours from what I've heard, same thing with Pokémon(way more if you want to make the most of the game, I'm at over 100hours). I played Animal Crossing, Kid Icarus, Pokémon and almost MK7 for over 100hours while I cleared most ''console quality'' games in less than 15 and never play most of them again.

But I guess your 10hours of Golden Abyss is a better value than my 100hours of pokémon cause it looked prettier. I'm about to buy Bravely Default, 40$, devide that by 60(if not more), thats 0.66$ a hour. Make that calculation for your ''console quality'' games and tell me how they are a ''better value''. And don't give me the argument that they give less but better hours of game because I assure you that the fun you are having playing a HD game is not higher than the fun I had playing my 3DS games, since you are a indie fan it's something you should understand.
