I liked 3DS way-way more than GBA. Didn’t play PSP, so I have no opinion on that one.

I found the 3DS had a significantly stronger lineup: Xenoblade Chronicles, Monster Hunter Games (including 3 and 4 as an exclusive, and Generations), Sega 3D Classics, Super Mario Kart 7, Animal Crossing New Leaf, A Link Between Worlds, several Fire Emblem games (Awakening, Revelation, Conquest, Birthright, and Echoes), several N64 games 3D remasters (including Lylat Wars, Ocarina, Majora), Super Mario 3D Land, Kid Icarus Uprising, Radiant Historia,  the series of street pass games, glasses free 3D, the 3DS virtual console, the ambassador free games for early adopters, the entire DS library because of backward compatibility.

My main memory of GBA is the lack of a backlight while playing Castlevania Circle of the Moon in direct sunlight (because the game was so dark that it was not very visible otherwise), Fire Emblem Advance and mainly playing it on DS (because of the better screen, with lighting) and very buggy FF ports: although I enjoyed the FF4 post game extras… but again, played these on DS, not GBA. Also, backwards compatible DS was available in the middle of the GBA’s lifespan, and its backlight made the GBA obsolete.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
