3DS, PsVita or Wii U?!

[Foxi4]

Anyway I'm expecting some soulx/Foxi4 beef off between the 3DS + Wii U vs. Vita which resolves in a typical pretentious ego-off while I go to another thread because I don't actually do shit in these threads.

Oh and Valwin will pepper in some troll lingo here and there.

I'm not particularily interested in those when it comes to Suggestion Threads, Guildy-Locks.

In any case, invest money in the console that has games you're interested in, really. Nintendo consoles mean Nintendo games - if you're strongly attached to those, go for a Nintendo console.

Out of the three, I'd get a 3DS and a PSVita, mainly because I rarely find the time to do some serious gaming in front of a monitor or a TV - I prefere handhelds.

3DS bout to get hacked, Vita maybe but dependent on game exploits that sony instantly takes down.

Vita is hacked for psp

That's like saying "the 3DS is hacked for DS"... which it is.

It is going to be hard to compare three systems that are different, but i shall try.

3DS: - Handheld, good for travelling (which the Vita also has).
- Experience 3D without glasses.
- Games are good
- Communicate, make friends with StreetPass Feature.
- Really entertaining, challenging, and fun games.
Games I suggest are: Mario Kart 7, Super Mario 3D Land, Paper Mario Sticker Star, Kid Icarus... etc etc

Those were pros, but the cons??
- May be a affect on your health.
- Random idiots will message you when you StreetPass (happens to me -.-)

Never tried the Wii U or the Vita so I shall shut up for now.

Do you need a flashcart ? No. Can it play at much faster speeds then the PSP? Yes more then 60% faster. The 3ds can only play ds games at the nds speed . N64 Games run flawlessly

It can still upscale DS games - in both cases we're talking about a sandbox, so I'm not entirely sure what your point is... All things considered, it's running native PSP binaries.

It has more power unlocked, so PSP games can get more complex and powerful.

 

[Foxi4]

It has more power unlocked, so PSP games can get more complex and powerful.

It just means that it does more cycles - unlike DS binaries, the PSP binaries were never clock-locked - a PSP game will run roughly the same at 222Mhz and at 333Mhz wheras a DS game will noticably speed up or slow down depending on the clock frequency as its mechanics are connected with clock timing.

In that sense, a DS sandbox has to pretend it's running according to a standard DS clock, wheras a PSP one, not necessarily. This has benefits in homebrew, but it's unlikely that you'll see any in PSP games running any faster at all other than during decoding or decompression.

I'm talking Homebrew such as emulators or linux.

In that case, yes, you'll get a very minor power boost. That said, both consoles are still "hacked" to the same degree, which was my original point.

 

[Sterling]

I would recommend a PS Vita. I recently purchased one and I have to say it's one of the bets purchases I've made in a long time. Not to mention I love what the potential homebrew capabilities of it is.

If you want good games now, get the 3DSxl. If your willing to wait, get a Wii U. If you want to make a gamble on getting a good or bad console, get the Vita.

 

[Thanatos Telos]

Mass Effect 3 is great
Assassin's Creed 3 is great
Arkham City is playable minus a few mising textures in small areas that you don't need to go to anyways.
Black Ops 2 plays just great...

Actually, jumping out of a haystack while a riot was going on made mine crash in Assassin's Creed 3.
It's still a good port. (Except that the controls are good, just not as good as on my 360.)

I don't see how the PSVita would be a gamble, everything depends highly on tastes. Even though the 3DS currently has a larger library of titles, it may not have the games a particular user would be interested in - it's always worth to look through libraries before making such assumptions.

 

[heartgold]

Depends what games you like. I prefer my 3DS over my Vita. Games are meant to be fun, game consoles can provide that.

I vouch for the 3DS up the these titles alone. This is my opinion as you asked for it. Note some of the games arrive early 2013, seem decent upon demos and reviews from the Japanese versions.

Zelda Ocarina Of Time 3D remake - The remake versions looks more vibrant in colour, ugly static background all gone and smoother framerate.
Monster hunter ultimate
Fire Emblem Awakening
Luigi Mansion Dark Moon - Saw the videos, the animation looks so good. Luigi actually looks alive. lol Looks to be good as the original, even better with more mansion.
Resident Evils Revelation - Showcasing the 3DS graphics, superb story-line and gameplay.
Paper Mario Sticker Star - Playing this right now, having a blast. Game is a bit difficut lol
Animal Crossing New Leaf
Mario Kart 7 - AA in 3D mode and awesome to play online. 8 player is decent.
Super Mario 3D Land - Master piece, the levels are so damn fun.
New Super Mario Bros 2 - I enjoyed this, much better level designs over the DS version.

 

[Chary]

I had the exact same choice between these consoles, and I ended up choosing the 3DS, since there are plenty of 1st party titles planned/near release for the 3DS (DK, Animal Crossing, Fire Emblem, possibly Pokemon, ect)

 

[emigre]

Resident Evils Revelation - superb story-line

There are many, many good things one can say about RE: Revelations but superb story line?

Really? Really?

is a gamble because none knows what will happen with it everyday support for it keeps getting weaker is not selling devs wont develop for a flop you know

In that case, the WiiU is doomed.

Doesn't sell very well in Europe, none of the games reached Top 40 in sales, devs keep on portin' their poor ports. Farewell NextGen. ;O; //trololo
