I actually didn't think of those.  I've only played MLB 13 The Show, so every other game in the list would be something I haven't played.  Wouldn't be able to make a comparison.

But you can't deny the fact that trying to convince someone to buy a certain platform with ports vs exclusives (or a cheaper original), the ports don't usually win out... even if it is a better game.  The thing is that the arguments for including ports is too case-by-case.

We're going to have to agree to disagree on that.  If I've never played Muramasa before, as an example, I'm not going to have less fun with it just because it was on the Wii previously.

I'm not saying it makes the console less worth buying, but when you're pitting libraries head to head, original beats port. That is the purpose of this thread

i've certainly profited from the parade of Wii U ports (one of which for a game i already bought and played 3 years ago anyway, and bought and replayed even longer this time <_>), but if the only games in a genre on your console are ports, and the competitor has original titles, the competitor has the better selection.

I will admit that, other than Mortal Kombat, I didn't play any of the Vita ports I listed on the Vita itself, but a good game is a good game is a good game. Being ports though doesn't mean that these games don't exist in the Vita's library, and being a port doesn't detract from being a good game or not.

The only difference is will I buy the port again if I already own it on another console? If I don't own it, then sure. If I do own it, then I more than likely won't. I'll purchase Dragon's Crown and Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 once they're $20 as I liked them enough to feel it's a worthy investment.  I've already purchased Persona 4 The Golden, just haven't played the Vita version.

All games in a consoles library are worth being listed, regardless how many times it's been ported or not.

The main point of this thread is to point out that the Vita, ports or not, does have good games in comparison to the 3DS.  Overall better games.

"3DS - Super Street Fighter 4, and Dead or Alive Dimensions.

Vita - Street Fighter x Tekken, Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3, Mortal Kombat, Blaz Blue Continuum Shift Extend, and Dead or Alive 5 Plus."

you can add blazblue continuum shift II and Tekken Prime Edition to the list of 3ds games.

For an opinion piece, the original post was a good read. I disagree with many points, but I also understand them.

Source for KI and Donkey Kong, not a generic wiki page about the CPU.

Just, no. Do you just make this up as you go?

You missed Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D, Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D and FF: Theatrhythm, and you pretty much dismissed the entire DS library. Needless to say, you're on the list.

I feel like the action adventure, and 3D platformer sections are way off. I suppose that's opinion, but you listed 4 mediocre games, and said they beat one amazing game and some decent games. (Yeah, I played gravity rush)

Shooters is fine I guess, but you haven't played all of Killzone, unit 13 is shite, and uncharted is pretty good. But Star Fox, Revelations and Uprising I feel easily trump those games. Killzone isn't out so it might be amazing, but reviews say otherwise.

You're RPG section makes me lol, 3DS is really dominating there with tons of original fantastic content, vs ps2 ports and mehware.

Your adventure section though, that's utter BS. Ragnarok and soul sacrifice are generally considered B tier games. Ragnarok and Soul Sacrifice are both just inferior monhun as far as I can tell, and metal gear solid collection is meh. Luigi's Mansion and Animal crossing are better than all the games on the Vita section of this, and then we have Mon hun, etc. This is laughable.
