Majora's Mask and OoT are remakes btw, not ports. This means Vita has two games that are exclusive and 85+ (Persona 4 Golden and LBP Vita).


Only Nintendo would ever sell any games if we no longer counted multiplat and remakes.

But people buy consoles because of games that are built from the ground up on a certain console. Lot's of multiplatform games use the PS4 as main console for developing for example.

Nobody wants to buy a dedicated gaming HH to play games they can also play on an old PC or a superior home console.

What about Tearaway?


I think it's been taken off the Vita like games like Tales from Space were because they were later ported to other systems.

Yeah, but I heard it's getting a remaster on PS4, but you're right, it's 3 games.

However any of those gamers choose to play the games on a dedicated HH rather than a home console or PC (as has been demonstrated in stats from the devs) so maybe many actually agree that they fit the HH better.

I'm sure the 3DS would also have got many of those games had it been capable of running them without having to redo everything.

I definitely agree that the 3DS is underpowered.

Well... I´d say that developers can make better games with the 3ds processing power than they could with the DS............

Ok, that statement was really, really silly, but  I´m personally enjoying the 3ds more than the DS.

Even ignoring the horsepower. The resolution means many 2D games need re-working entirely. Look at how much Ubi had to change up with Rayman Origins. I was really disappointed that the N3DS didn't feature a higher resolution screen. I think that would have opened it up to a lot of the indie content Vita enjoys.

Although you can say 150million, 150 million times, it doesn't make 50 million any less of a massive number. There is no other handheld for them to develop for currently, with the sale respectable sales figures while also having decent (decent)hardware specifications. Thus, many quality titles that have sold very well.

Late port like Ocarina of Time, Cave Story, 3D Out Run, Majora's Mask, Xenoblade Chronicles, Super Street Fighter IV, and Donkey Kong Returns?

Love them! Great addition to the 3DS portfolio, which would have less than twenty 85+ titles without them.

And the Vita would only have one.

Please, can you two stop the sideline about Vita? Pretty please...

3DS is an objectively better system considering it can play DS games in addition to 3DS games.
