From what Sony said, the price isn't dropping too soon, but it could be just PR talk. After all, they wouldn't want Vita sales to drop even further due to people holding out for a price cut.

If you manage to find a really good bundle though, it should offset some of the bad feeling of seeing a price cut after you purchase.

For 3DS shooters, Kid Icarus: Uprising is an obvious choice. Possibly the best game on the platform, and one of my favorite shooters on any platform. Resident Evil: Revelations is also very good, though you may want to wait for the console versions this May. Star Fox 64 3D is supposed to be great but short. If you're open to 2D side scrolling games like Mega Man, try Gunman Clive and Mutant Mudds.

As for JRPGs on the 3DS, the best choice available seems to be Fire Emblem: Awakening. I, however, can not personally attest to its quality. I can, however, tell you first hand about a couple of other good games. Paper Mario: Sticker Star is not the best JRPG ever, but its Item-based combat is a surprisingly meaty novelty. Kingdom Hearts 3D is the best action RPG on the system, despite a convoluted story and one or two awkward mechanics. Theatrhythm: Final Fantasy is a Music/JRPG hybrid, that plays like Guitar Hero or Elite Beat Agents, but has the leveling up, items, and characters of an RPG. And if you like Fire Emblem, try out Devil Survivor: Overclocked, a Shin Megami Tensei interpretation of the SRPG, and Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars, essentially a Western made modern Fire Emblem.

As for Vita games... I don't own a Vita. But these other people seem to have good advice.

It may drop this month...by $50. Or it may wait till after Sony's fiscal year. At least the Walmarts around me have the 3G Vita for $279, while I think it comes with an 8GB card, it doesn't have any other perks. It all depends if you want to wait, even if the price drops after you buy it that bundle is pretty good and at least you have the system to acutally use.

If you fear the drop, i'm sure you'll be able to find a good bundle round 200$


And Unit 13 is a good choice, a great game if you love TPS and scoring

Only have a 3DS, so:

Ace Combat Assault Horizon Legacy
Sonic Generations
Harvest Moon: Tale of two Towns
Tales of the Abyss
Ridge Racer 3D
SMT Devil Survivor Overclocked
Unchained Blades
Crimson Shroud
Every eShop 3DS release

Persona 4 Golden is the only must-own Vita game I'm aware of. Gravity Rush and LittleBigPlanet 2 are supposedly excellent as well.

It's been said a lot already but if you're looking for 3DS games, I can't recommend Kid Icarus: Uprising and Fire Emblem: Awakening enough. And don't shy away from the eShop, there are a handful of gems in there already as well.

1. Persona 4 Golden
2. Gravity Rush
3. Need for Speed: Most Wanted (If you like racing games)
4. Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time
5. Playstation All-Stars: Battle Royale
6. Uncharted: Golden Abyss
7. LittleBigPlanet
8. Unit 13 (Great potable shooter)
9. Super Stardust Delta
10. Mutant Blobs Attack

Those are 10 Games I can recommend to anyone who either has or is looking to get a Vita.

Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance.
Pokemon BW 2

Fire Emblem
Kid Icarus: Uprising
Super Mario 3D land
Paper Mario Sticker Star
Mario Kart 7
Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D
Resident Evil Revelation
