Do you think this will be the last Generation of Handheld Gaming?
Ye
>>343361227
No. The 3DS sold like hotcakes, Nintendo's gonna have another handheld...
>what went wrong
3DS sold gangbusters, what weird reality are you from?
>the end of handhelds
not as long as Nintendo keeps slapping their brand on handhelds. They might license out more stuff to mobile platforms for a few games like they already do, but they still more or less run the niche.
Wouldn't be surprised if Sony dropped out, considering the Vita barely sold outside of Japan.
>>343361638
they already had a new handheld
the NEW 3DS
i never hear anything about it... i assume it didnt sell very well,
Japan is keeping it afloat, there'll probably be a 3ds sequel, vita sequel is questionable. NA wouldn't deserve a vita sequel, but with the vita is getting more games than the 3ds thanks to a strong japanese 3rd party developer scene.

>Muh what went wrong meme
I wish this be added as an instant-ban for retards.
>>343361923
what did he mean by this?
>>343362003
This too
>>343361227
Yep. My GPD is far more powerful than the 3ds for the same price, I don't know how Nintendo and sony keep getting away with shipping underpowered handhelds for such a price. It's disgusting and screws consumers over.
>>343361227
the 3ds has arguably one of the best libraries of all time
>>343362091
Because GAMES anon, you're missing tons of good shit that you can't emulate there.
Better get an outdated 3ds and hack the shit out of it.
>>343361862
Literally the DSi of 3DS.
Not a new console, but a hardware update that had a couple exclusive titles, but for the most part no one was really influenced by them, and no one wants to develop N3DS exclusives still.
>>343362091
your gdp doesn't play 3ds games w/ the best consumer 3d usage ever
>>343362248
>>343362173
I don't mind. I just hate that a chink copy is more powerful than my 3ds, its fucking sad.
>>343362443
Any smartphone is fucking stronger than any portable console since years ago, specs wise.
Your point is fucking stupid.
>>343362248
>the best consumer 3d usage ever
You mean the one that everyone turns off anyway because it chews through battery, cuts the framerate in half and still looks worse than the flat 2D?
>>343362718
Not really. the new 3ds was barely an upgrade and still can't eumlate gba games or even n64 game correctly. What a shame.
>>343361227
This won't be the last gen, the NX kinda gurantees that, but in a decade handhelds will be entirely subsumed by mobile. Kids don't give a shit about handhelds anymore, all they want are iphones
>>343362896
>Not really. the new 3ds was barely an upgrade
?? You're only accepting my point about the 3ds being weaker than most smartphones

Who is she?
>>343361227
I want another Vita.
This time WITH THE FUCKING GAMES LOCALIZED!
And a new DS with a library as good as the original DS and an actual decent hardware this time.
>>343361227
What went wrong is that there is no monhun on vita
>>343362896
>Still can't
Not due to hardware constraints, but due to lack of Nindy putting effort in
How long will they continue to sell Vita slims new? I bought a used original model a few years ago but it had these annoying little scratches in the middle of the screen I didn't notice until I got it and they drive me nuts.
Also I tried a friend's Vita slim before and it felt very nice.
>>343365268
don't see what's so wrong about that
>>343364795
What HASN'T been localized on Vita? There doesn't seem to be anything Japan exclusive left on Vita besides VNs.
>>343361892
>NA wouldn't deserve a vita sequel
We are shit.
>>343362840
I literally hacked the 3ds and played through dozens of games and I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.
I honestly can't think of a single game wherein the 3d looks worse than the 2d.
>>343362236
My thoughts exactly. Yeah there are hardware improvements and the extra buttons/control nub, but it wasn't a big enough change to justify buying one brand new when you know they're going to pull the same shit they did with the DSi. Heck Xenoblade isn't even an exclusive.
