Forums - Nintendo - WiiU-only owners, would you have bought 3DS games if they were on the U?

 

I only own a WiiU and

some 3DS games I'd like to own. 97 90.65%
 
no 3DS games interest me. 10 9.35%
 
Total:107

A couple of them for sure, like the Fire Emblem titles and Codename S.T.E.A.M.

I don't plan to buy a 3DS or any other dedicate portable gaming device. Still, I would love to play those Fire Emblem games.



So I know I don't entirely qualify ( I have both the Wii U and 3DS), but there are plenty of 3DS games that I wish I could enjoy on the Wii U. I've never been too big of a fan of handheld gaming. They're not the most comfortable to hold and use. I've always seen them as an inferior experience and backup solution for my gaming needs. The idea of the handheld and home console games being interchangeable would be perfect for me. I'm sure I'd still prefer the home console experience, but I'd gladly own the handheld so I can keep the game going while on the move in one way or another. If it worked this way between the Wii U and 3DS, I'd definitely buy more games overall.



I own both, and had my 3DS first. Ever since I graduated from University, I've barely played my 3DS. But that goes for all my consoles too, because work. I think I prefer to play certain games on portable, so even though I don't play during my commutes, playing in bed is still a legit option. Someone mentioned earlier on this thread that he tends to play 3Ds games on the couch in front of the TV. Bro, you should try a more relaxed position. A recliner or bed. Get lost in a portable world ;)

It's been interesting reading the responses. It looks like if this actually happens, the console version of the NX might kill the handheld version. Besides that, Sony will stop making handhelds and kids would just play on tablets

Yes.

I would've gladly bought Monster Hunter 4 for Wii U.

I held off on it for a year, hoping a Wii U version would be announced. This is why I'm praying for a shared library or hybrid console next gen.



Yep. All the Zelda games.

I have the same exact feelings, both on the comfortablity of handheld consoles and of the willingness to play handheld games on the TV.

In my region two games on the top twenty VC games list are from handhelds:M&L: Superstar Saga and LoZ: The Minish Cap. This indicates that a lot of people are willing to play games with "inferior" graphics on HD TV.

Yeah, I feel pretty much the same way. I don't like the small screens either.



I'd love if it was the other way around. I'd prefer buying Wii u games to play on my 3DS.
