I didn't expect this kind of massive response to this thread (thanks!).

Some answers to some of the questions: 

 

  • My favorite genres would be RPG & Action adventures. I like platformers and the occassional shooter or VN as well, though.. and I am open to all genres, anyway. (niche is not really a genre per say, but I am into niche titles as well)
  • I can't really get into many Nintendo games - Zelda and Pokemon for example would tip the scales in favor of 3DS (heavily)! if only yours truly liked them. Love Mario though.
  • If things continue in the manner of Nintendo E3 2017, a switch is coming down the line - however, I rarely (meaning: never) buy hardware near launch. For now, it'll have to wait.
  • I have a PS4 Pro, cancelling many Vita titles and a lot of my time
Huge thanks to the persons posting the 3DS lists & video. The problem with that one, well, is that there are too many games to filter what I would like sometimes. But all that SMT goodness on one platform... plus other Atlus titles.. plus Mario.. yep.

I am honestly convinced to get both. But considering VIta is indeed in its twlight years, I will probably put it up first - support is dwindling, only gonna get harder and more expensive to get things / games for it from now on. 3DS - later (prob 2018) purchase, definetely. Especailly now that new hardware will be out of it - I don't really care about 3D, and missed the announcement for 2DS XL, which sounds great.

@Veknoid Outcast: A Vita is a Vita without Sony FP games (yeah, I know I should be kicked for that).
@d21lewis: My meaning with that Vita > PS3 thing was directed more at the content offered in the Vita releases.
@Everyone posting game recommendations - thanks!
Keep it coming.

 

One thing to note if you like Atlus games three new ones were just confirmed to becoming to 3DS to the west just last week on Nintendos youtube channel, being; Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Redux, Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology and Etrian Odyssey V: Beyond the Myth.

Yes, I have received the atlus faithful email, reminding me that I need to get a 3DS, basically

Aside from any digital purchases, here is my physical collection minus a title or two:

You should also think of getting a New 2DS XL.
It has the nice clamshell design of the 3DS while looking really good, all the nicer functions and power of the NEW series, and costs slightly less than a 3DS.

Yes. That is probably what I will do!

And if you've missed out on some PSP rpg goodness, you can buy and digitally download games like Crimson Gem Saga, Final Fantasy III, Persona 1 and Persona 2 Innocent Sin. There are also the first two Corpse Parties which I'm quite impartial to.
