Thats beyond messed up^ Its not like Nintendo has tons of games being ports/remakes and if it is remakes, its actually a REMAKE! :)

That said if vita owners are happy, let them be happy. The more games the better. I personally dont like seeing LoZ remakes as im not a person who tends to rebuy games i already purchased thats just an enchanced version (excluding only pokemon for several reasons).

Now the other thing i get about Xenoblade is the fact it was an extremely rare game in the US, so for the many thousands that couldn't pick it up now is their chance.

I get the double standard, but i dont get how your pointing out Nintendo fans because of a very few games. There are some vita owners upset that there are no exclusives for vita that they want (just saying like Bioshock/MGS/etc like the PSP). If your happy with vita, thats good for you. Im happy with my damn WiiU, and that gets a ton more heat than vita does

Persona 4: Golden was a remake too, but you omitted it from your lists ;)

Btw, LoZ: OOT (and MM I don't doubt) is worth buying again on 3DS. It not only looks much nicer, but runs and as a result, plays far nicer than the original versions. Plus it's a game worth visiting.

However, I personally have no problem with ports/re-releases on handhelds. I prefer portable gaming so to me they're good and still the best version of a game so long as the port isn't messed up. In the case of the indie games, they actually feel better on Vita than they do on a home console or PC too. I actually think I prefer cross buy to exclusivity. Unless it is doing things on the Vita can do (which usually doesn't turn out too great) then I see no reason for the games to remain exclusive.

OP screwed me over by not mentioning that when he first wrote the thread

western 3rd parties dont like to support handhelds in general i guess.
but there are plenty of japanese 3rd parties who supports the vita. and even a decent ammount of them are coming to the west.

@OP i personally dont think it proves Vita lives on. It proves third parties will always be on Sony side as if Vita was a Nintendo product it be dead by year 3. (lets be real here lol)

I mean if you want proof look at japan. Vita gets no lie about 5-10x more games released in a month compared to 3ds. I see people complain about WiiU support over there with third party being almost non existent but in reality Nintendo supports it alot more than Sony does with the Vita. Yet here we are :0

It just comes down to wat gamers prefer. If you think Vita's line up is good and your happy with it... CHEERS! Your happy with no support for your wiiu.... CHEERS! :'-( If your happy with tons of Ports.... GOOD4U!!!

I hope i dont take too much HEAT From this^ o.O

Isn't portability the whole point of a handheld console?

That's what I bought mine for (as well as my 3DS). You're going around in circles really. But I'll leave you to it.

People prefer exclusives to multi platform? Sales would suggest otherwise barring a few Nintendo franchises. I'd people wanted Grand Theft Auto, Call of Duty, Assassin's Creed, FIFA etc far more. Exclusivity doesn't drive most console sales. It may be a factor which sways you between one system or another if you are torn between the PS4 or XB1. But the majority of 8th gen hardware sales will be driven by multiplatform releases. Exclusives are much more of an after thought more the reserve of fans for bragging rights.

Im not saying ports/remakes are bad. As far as i seen Starfox64/OoT do look miles better/play better, but me i dont usually like playing a game all over again. P4G would interest me as i never owned either it or the original for PS2. KH2.5 would interest me because of Birth by Sleep. 

Like i said previously, if you like it on vita more, thats more power to you. Yesterdays announcement showcased more vita games which is good for existing vita owners such as yourself. Some people are talking down about the vita, wheither it be because they are upset/trolling/etc because it doesn't gave those regular exclusives that make vita special, like Tearaway (well at one point), GR, SS, GE,Freedom Wars, etc.

You pointing out Nintendo fans with Xenoblade or Even LoZ MM wont care as they still get more brand new experiences not seen outside of 3ds. Mostly as well i think outside of Xenoblade all Nintendo's remakes/ports havent been from this gen/last gen (1st party). 

Anywayz, i dont kno if this helps, but i guess we cant win at all :p

I don't call old port a good support
Persona 5 should had be mutiplatform with vita since persona 4 golden does so well but they don't,big Japanese 3rd party did not support Vita too

Eh, Sony has a team that begs asks devs to make games for Vita
