Who won this generation of handhelds?

who won this generation of handhelds?

Smartphones :C

PS Vita had the potential to win, but the 3DS just has more/better

you can pirate 3DS games. so that won

I literally first heard of and saw the vita for the first time yesterday.

the nintendo one and not the sony one, as usual

3DS unarguably, but I like the Vita better

3DS, immensely huge library of AAA handheld games.

Literally the best handheld library of all time.

Vita is dead, 3DS is shit.

Who cares. I have both.

The 3DS won for the sole reason they're still producing them. The stupid fucking gimmick didn't help, but then again the 2DS is a gift in price.

The Vita is a better console, but the DS has more popular game.

DELETE THIS

Both the GBA and DS has better libraries

Just out of curiosity, where do you live?

This.

3DS is a little too heavy on sequels and spin-offs for me, and a little too light on art and reinvention of genres.

>tfw have both and love them both equally

I hope handhelds don't die out. They're comfy as fuck.

3DS has way more exclusives.

Vita 2000 is the way better handheld.

I own both. I think both systems did far better then everyone thought they would, especially the Vita considering it keeps getting games regardless of Sony's involvement.

Pretty much.

No more, no less. This won in this generation of handhelds.
It's simply a waste of money to buy a separate gaming platform when you have a better spec smartphone
inb4 exclusives
EMUS!

I bought the DS when it came out. Always been a big fan of Nintendo, I have mist of their handhelds. But the DS's touchscreen and the ganes that tried to integrate then just didn't work for me. So I haven't bought the newer models.

On the other hand, I just bought a Vita a day ago and its pretty great. Modern controls, and not too much forced integration of the touch screen. Enjoying it a lot more than the DS.

If you don't mind ports, look into buying MGS:HD on Vita during a sale. One of the few ports that actually performs far better than on original hardware and MGS games have been notoriously difficult to emulate on PCSX2 properly.

The Vita

>Better games
>More games
>Less censoring if none
>Better hardware

I hope that the next Nintendo hanheld have Android support at least, so more people will be interested on it.

Assuming this will be the last Sony handheld console.

>>Better games
lol

3DS didn't even have its own zelda title, just 3 remakes and a minigame collection

>more games
lol

I think both of them are fun.

I agree with him, the vita has more good games overall. 3ds does have some great games but the vast majority of its library is just populated by shovelware and the same old generic nintendo garbage, which it didn't even do very well with its mediocre remakes, endless censorship, and just plain awful hardware.

i love my vita. I really fucking do I havent played very much because i want to plat more FPS lately but damn is vita great

Biggest cons is the lack of customization on the entire fucking system. All you fucking get is bubbles, sounds, and fucking wallpapers shits pathetic. I really can't wait till a hack is released to completely unlock the system its going to be pretty fucking amazing.

>shit controls
>shit battery life
>shit games

Ok, I'll check it out, thanks. I've been trying to figure out what games I should get from here on anyways.

Who is hyped for berserk coming to vita? I know I am I'm hoping they release a berserk themed vita i'd pre-order that shit

In terms of playerbase you're right, but actual game quality couldn't be further from the truth. I've only seen like three worthwhile mobile games before, it's such a cancerous platform and I dread the day it consumes gaming as a whole with its godawful microtransactions

According to Wiki
3DS has 894
Vita has 1334
Better games is more questionable.

Neither but both are good

KEK

> this

I was gonna reply the same thing. There are very few phone games that are actually full games and not some crappy minigame rehash microtransaction fest.

Sure, they're more popular. But when everyone's got a phone in their pocket, why wouldn't they be?

>link between worlds is a remake

Where can I buy a vita and n3ds without getting ripped off?

I just tried amazon and fucking hell n3ds' cost $260

It had Link Between Worlds, which was not a remake.

Irrelevent.

SONY WON

Try checking your local craigslist from time to time

They both turned out pretty lackluster. I got rid of both of mine.

Ebay.

First result is 160$.

The one not abandoned by its creator after just 2 years lol

Go Ebay and do some sniping. Wait it out.

Got a Vita and four games for $150. Just be patient.

>this generation

This.
I have an Xperia and I looked up some mobile games. I can honestly say I'm not interested in playing a single one. And most of them are ladden with microtransactions.

I'm still hoping that Sony reconsider not leaving the handheld market. I know Nintendo does it better to a certain degree. But I don't want the mobile cancer to win.

You can play DS games on 3DS senpai.

I bought Ghost Trick, 999, and Ace Attorney a while back and still haven't played them. I need to get on that.

I'm fine with sony leaving the vita as is, it's still getting just as many third party games, and I'd rather they not ruin everything with their modern interactive movie "reboots" of otherwise good franchises, like they're currently doing with GoW and RE. As long as they're keeping it alive it's fine.

3DS has 894 games rated over 90 on metacritic that are developed by the best developers on the planet

Vita has 1334 games made by shovelware developers or weeb developers with all of them being horrible games.

Both

If you don't have both you're missing out

i just wish they'd let us actually fuck with everything the fucking browser is dog shit everything is fucking old as shit all we get is fucking bubbles and bubble folders shits stupid wish theyd update the interface

>This post

I'd say the 3DS but what would you expect from a contest with a single participant? all the people i met that had a Vita were trying to get rid of it.

Regardless of the quality of each, 3DS did much better.

He said in it was the best of all time

We did. Together they have so much I've been having more fun than I had with pc and ps4.

Objectively 3DS. It may be the worse system, but people actually bought it, and games were actually made for it.

What does the Vita have to do with smartphones.

>handhelds
Eww.

that was my opinion for a long time as well but i got bored with most of my console/pc games and bought a 3ds. been a fucking blast though, so many great games.

I loved handhelds as a kid, I hated them as a teenager and now I'm 23 and I'm learning to love them again. Maybe that user is still a teenager.
