Why 3ds started so strong but is so shit lately?
The "best recommended games" for this console are almost not changing for years already and even Vita has more games incoming
>>
>>319533961
The Nintendo curse.
>>
>>319533961
3ds has at least 10 mediocre/decent upcoming games

Vita has what 1or 2? The rest is shovelware. Not worth the 40 usd asking price.

Its quality vs quantity.
>>
Do you EVER see people make Vita threads about specific games like they do with Pokemon, Ace Attorney, MH, Kid Icarus, Zelda and all those other games?

Exactly

>inb4 I love my Vita!" guy posts the upcoming releases picture full of games no one will ever play but use to brag

I got gifted a PS Vita and sold it after, its a shame because it felt so good to hold

No. Vita has like a handful of decent games out of about 30 upcoming.

The 3DS started really weak, then had one explosive year, then slowed down quite a bit. Nintendo should have spaced things out better so we got a steady amount of games but they went nuclear and made everything at once

It literally didn't have a library worth a fuck until 2013. Then Nintendo decided 2014 was a good time to announce NEW 3ds, because they have been the kings of good decision making as of late.

why do you even need to shitpost about Vita if you don't like japanese games? Yeah, console is dead on the west but so is the 3ds.
If you don't like japanese games handhelds are not for you. Probably whole /v/ is not for you.
If you don't like japanese games, if you are alergic to anime visual style, then Vita is not for you, everyone will admit it, no one will deny it, yet you still are trying to prove something.

>>319545604

That and the other list a few posts above makes like 12 games. One good game a month. No including eshop and indie titles.

Not including games yet to be revealed. How is that bad?
>>
>>319546576

Maybe because we only know Q1 2016. Nintendo hasn't revealed Q2/3/4 at all. They never really do that far in advance.

>>
>>319546576

Handheld games in general have a short dev cycle (1-2 years) so games generally are announced much sooner to release than on other systems.

Nintendo often announce games on 3DS only months away from release. Kirby 3DS came out one month after it was unveiled for example. The exception to this are games whos localisation status isn't known. Those games tend to take a while to come out. But games that get confirmed worldwide release come out relatively quickly.

Zelda Triforce Heroes and Mario Paper Jam were both announced in June and released 5/6 months later.

So we could easily get games in 2016 that we won't even know about until E3. Oh, and there will very likely be a new mainline Pokemon this year too.
>>
>>319547348

I finish the games I buy, but I don't obsessively play just one game and nothing else until it's beaten. I also often switch to my other consoles or play older PC games instead of progressing with the newer games I've bought, depending on my mood, so even a single 20 hour game can last me a month between playing it and everything else on my backlog.

Did you just start gaming in the current gen or something? I've been gaming all my life, so I've worked up a gigantic backlog of games I intend to finish (some that I haven't even bought/started yet), and the concept of a "game drought" to me just means more time to work on my endless backlog.
>>
If the vita didn't suffer from that those stupid overpriced memory cards and the shit advertisement it got, it would have done so much better. it has so much more "power" than the 3ds but they fucked it over so much . rip vita .

>Oh, and there will very likely be a new mainline Pokemon this year too.
Nintendo's next handheld might already be out by the time it releases.

That said, it could still be for 3DS (there is, after all, precedent with BW2), but it also might not be.

>>319547348
>Because I finish the games I buy
How does that prevent you from having a giant backlog of games you want to play? You don't have to buy purely brand new releases.

>>319546831
>They never really do that far in advance.
They have, even on 3DS:
New Leaf, Kid Icarus, and Sticker Star were announced at E3 2010 and first released two and a half years later.
Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon was announced at E3 2011 and released in 2013.

On Wii U, there are games like SMTxFE and Zelda which have been known about for a very long time.
>>
>>319546576
>Even Pokémon has nothing left for 3DS.
Meanwhile XY third version is literally days from being officialy revealed

And I couldn't care less about Nintendo first party shit when 3DS has a steady amount of mostly exclusive third party titles coming. It's still the only gen 8 system worth owning, that much didn't change since like 2013.
>>
Has the Vita been cracked like pre-9.2 3DS?

I have a computer for indies and the 3DS's weebshit can be actually good, but you usually have to stick with known series like SMT and Etrian Odyssey.

I like my Vita, I really do, but out of that list, I have maybe a quarter of it and ten games that are actually exclusive to it and worth owning. It's becoming the Dreamcast of handhelds, where it has a decent library, but you can play most of its good games on other platforms.

The thing about these threads is that you always compile EVERYTHING into one list that you expect people to see and go "Wow, the Vita does have games!" when most of it can be skipped and the games are very different and don't interest everyone. Like I said, I have a computer for indies that I can get either free or absurdly cheap. Most of the fighters on that list are better played on another system. A good portion of that list are PS1 and PS2 games that are better played on PS3 if you're going digital. I was never a huge fan of the Warriors series and the Vita isn't a good system for them anyway. Games like the new Atelier series I feel I should skip because I played Rorona on PS3 and it bored me to tears, and I have much better JRPGs to play right now. Same goes for shit like the Miku games and Dancing All Night because I have much better rhythm games to play as well. Also: Battle of Z? Really? Holy fuck you guys are grasping. Not to mention that a good portion of the list is Japan only, and I have no interest in learning Moon or paying more to import. The point is, you can't just shove everything together and expect people to go out and buy Vitas. It simply doesn't work like that. When people say "3DS has more games" it needs an asterisk that reads "*That interest me." because fucking every Vita thread is like this.

Shit compared to what? Don't get me wrong, I hate Nontendo, they are getting shittier and shittier as the years go by, but the 3DS is the only thing that they really have going for them. It's mostly due to lack of competition, but it's still selling, and people seem to enjoy it.

I have a 3DS, it's only for monster hunter, and I would rather be playing that on almost anything else, but it still sold me a 3DS and it was fun enough.

Funny thing is, I feel like one of the biggest things holding the 3DS back is its stupid 3D, it's a stupid barely functional gimmick, and gave the 3DS a really crappy display, (even in the newer ones) would have gotten a 2DS if they didn't make it a wedge of cheese.

TLDR: 3DS is still the only handheld on the market worth anything, even if nintendo is turning shit, gimmicks like 3D are hiding back the handhelds. Don't want cheese wedge.
>>
>>319539265
Yes. I own both and I have to say, unless they start localizing a lot more stuff, there's maybe like 1 or 2 games I'll buy for my vita in the future. 3ds looks to ball out next year. The hardware is a piece of shit tho but I I'll deal with for the games.
