So then...
I would like to buy a new portable system (even if neither of the ones mentioned are truly new, but they are new to me! ), and cannot decide between a Vita and 3DS.
There are pros to each - I consider the following important:
Vita:
- Nice piece of hardware, can play my PSP games.
- Remote play with PS4.
- Many superior versions of older PS3 games, a liiiiiitle bit of nice exclusives.
- ...otherwise, few big titles, few exclusives, etc. it's a real problem in deciding to splurge a large sum of cash. I am not interested in most ports, which seem to be a huge chunk of Vita's better games.
3DS:
- Many more genuinely exclusive games!
- Good, strong design. Clamshell is a pro for me.
- Shin Megami Tensei titles.
- Allows girlfriend to use it to play Pokemon (I don't like Pokemon, however).
- ...however, lacklustre online infrastrcuture, no compatiblity within my.. ecosystem I guess.
I have to say, that I find either one to be a bleak shadow of either the PSP or the DS, which is why this decision is so hard for me - I can easily afford both, just don't have time for both at the same time... therefore, I need this community to convince me into buying either one. I like just about any genre, so you have a good range to use to convince me.
Thanks  ...don't recommend a Switch, reason why can be seen two posts below =P

Do consider the pricepoint, as well. The new 2DS xl costs 150$ and you can get an old 2DS + a game for 100$, while the newer vita models are closer to 200$, not to speak of extremely expensive peripherials (60$ memory cards...)

Yes, Vita new is $200. But you fail to mention all models that are currently out now have internal memory. Not much, only 1-5gb (forgot), but thats plenty enough if you intent to buy only physical. $60 is about what you'd pay for a 32gb mem card which most wouldn't even opt for anyway 
a used Vita can go for $150 and many of the games on it are less than $20 these days, especially among the best it has to offer.
