As a primarily handheld gamer myself, I have to say the DS and the PSP brought way more games to the table than the 3DS/Vita. Distribution for most of them was awful, but still, my "Must play" list still has more DS games than 3DS. The effects of the mobile uprising, I suppose.

Man, seem like the 3DS is dead and being discontinued. I though for sure Nintendo do was going to push the New 3DS and have much more support for the handheld this E3 with everything happening with the WiiU and NX not being at the show. But, instead they barely announce any exclusive game for the 3DS and New 3DS. It just goes to show that every Nintendo hardware is getting zero support from 3rd party developpers and is creating embarrassing drought for Nintendo. 

I'm going to the Nintendo World Store for the first time next week, I was concidering picking up a New 3DS to commomerate the occassion but I hardly see the reason to pick that console. 

Well, the N3DS was a tricky console to pull off in the first place. With almost 50m regular 3DS in the market to begin with, who is going to develope new games for the new version, when they could sell them on the regular version ang gain five times more audience. Even for quick ports, it's not a very lucrative option. I'm sure the original plan was to release a console able to play ported GC/Wii games to fill the droughts, but they then just scrapped that and continued with the NX.

I made a thread counting the N3DS exclusive titles some time ago. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=196778&page=1

Also, have fun at the Nintendo World Store!
