I like the Vita hardware better, but the 3ds wins from the awesome game library. I barely play the Vita.

<<<<< Clearly I must go with Turtles!
NW: Hey, I made it on this psycho's Enemies' List, how about that ?? ;)

BT: Look at how the fake SFII' carts instantly sold out and were immediately listed on eBay before the flippers even took possession. Look at Nintendo's overpriced bricks. Look at the typical forum discussions elsewhere.

You can't tell most retro gamers anything!

My favorite game on 3DS is Mario 3D Land.  Somehow the game beats the Wii U version due to being truly optimized for one player and I was happy to see Mario ditch the Galaxy theme.

Pokemon is always a time sucker, that game is something I am embarassed to say I really enjoy.

The Nintendo catalog in general is solid.  Luigi's Mansion and DK Country also really stand out.  Other good titles were Mario Kart, Fire Emblem, Pushmo, and Professor Layton.

Non-Nintendo games can be fun, but obviously arent the system seller.  Shinobi was a game mentioned recently I enjoyed.  Hell, I even downloaded and played a decent amount of Game Gear Shinobi from the 3DS Shop.

I'm playing the Bravely Default demo. While the game is cool I just can't over how bad the screen resolution is on the 3DS XL. Kind of wish I kept the regular 3DS (not as noticeable).

Vita.  Ys or GTFO.  :mrgreen:

Reason why I'd like a Vita someday. :)

Outside of Nintendo's licenses, I've not been too terribly impressed with the 3DS, but I haven't explored the indie/DL only games; and I just don't have the time for RPG's

Now, Nintendo's licenses are awesome and really shine on the system. I did try a little Mario 3D and I was very impressed and one can't go wrong with Mario Kart.

I couldn't vote for a system, it's like picking your favorite kid (well if you have a kid).

So I voted for Turtles.

The Vita is gorgeous hardware with very few must have games.  The 3DS is meh hardware with a lot of great games.

I'm just going to say Vita.  It wins in my heart.

If you consider all the titles on PSN that are available you will find the Vita has a ton of games. The big draw is the over priced memory.

What's the minimum amount of memory one should have on the Vita?
