Let me start off by saying I am not a fanboy of any kind although I do dislike Microsoft for the way they treat their customers. ON TO THE SUBJECT! I am wondering do I want a 3DS, I have a Vita currently and I play it everyday and I cannot find anything to justify a 3DS purchase.

I prefer mature games, Mario doesn't really appeal to me like it use to although Super Mario 3D land is something I have been looking at, also I love Zelda which is by far my favorite series in the Nintendo First-Party Series.
What would 3DS have to offer a guy like me? Nothing?

I dislike some things about it but not putting it down its just my perspective....
I dislike the graphical limits, low res, lack of application variety and I also dislike the fact it only has one analog.

Willing to deal with a few of these as I have had one before and sold it for my Vita but now I am on my way on becoming a Youtube Partner and I can proudly say I won't be selling any more games instead I want to build a library so give me your thoughts on the subject.

NOTE: I am not switching over I am getting a new console

That was a joke by the way. I just like being funny. For the truth I would get one. They have cool games. However mine was stolen.

One thing that makes it worth getting is the wifi capabilities and the xl has a substantially larger screen and more hand room compared to the Dsi

not to mention the games like fire emblem

Agreed with CAPU. BTW that kitten pic in your posts is making me sleepy. I love it.

Fire Emblem? I got tired of it once the last GBA version came out.
Like I said though Pokemon X & Y might justify my purchase alone.

[Alex Wolfers]

You should get Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon when it comes out.

There is plenty to play on the 3ds.get the XL though so much better than the regular. I will ask you this though. What good games are there for vita, I'm being serious I just bought one.

Love my 3DS. You said you were looking into Super Mario 3D Land. Highly recommended! I'm 34 years old and I still love me some Mario. You won't be disappointed. The 3D is quite impressive in this game too.

As for everything else, the 3DS library is great and it's only going to improve as time goes on. It all comes down to your tastes. If the system offers the titles you want to play, then the 3DS is for you.

The system itself is really cool and offers some cool apps and functionality. The eShop is nice and offers a great variety of digital games as well.

I cant help with this question.. I quited handhelds years ago... and I havent regreted it... I am not a mobile person after all.

[Keviin]

You should get a 3DS if you like the exclusives: any Nintendo IP, basically. I remember good old days when RESIDENT EVIL was exclusive...

What games are there? Well it all depends on preference I like:

• Ultimate Marvel VS Capcom 3 (EPIC Port looks amazing)
• Dynasty Warriors NEXT (Frantic and great creation)
• Uncharted (Best looking Vita game)
• BlazBlue
• Disegea
• Gravity Rush (So original and very fun)
• Little BIG Planet PS Vita
• Ragnarok Odyssey (Like an anime Monster Hunter)
• SFXT (not my type of game but still good)
• Wipeout 2048 (soooo fun!)
• ModNation Racers Road Trip (Great but no Online)
• ACIII Liberation
• Sound Shapes (Super original and great community)
• Super Star Dust Delta
• PlayStation All-Stars (We all know its based off SSB even so its helluva lotta fun)
• Need for Speed Most Wanted (Incredible game looks like console version)

I could name more but I am at a loss right now....

Really? Super Mario 3D Land in fact does look amazing! xD I think you guys convinced me I will get the Fire Emblem Blue Bundle, mostly because the 3DS XL is not my cup of tea but even so Pokemon X & Y are the main reasons for my purchase.

^^^ Cheers, I might check some of them out. I bought Little big planet yesterday as i loved the console versions.

You didn't mention Persona 4 at all. Great game, if it's the type of thing you enjoy.

[SolxBurst]

The main reason I recommend a 3DS is the large variety of great games. And this year marks the launch of some amazing games like Fire Emblem: Awakening, Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, Animal Crossing: New Leaf, Castlevania Lords of Shadow: Mirror of Fate, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, Project X Zone, Pokemon X/Y, and more to be announced as the year progresses.

But with the games you just listed, I would recommend you try out Kid Icarus: Uprising. The controls are really good once you get used to them, (which doesn't take most long at all) and it is a fast paced and frantic action game. If you like Action RPGs, get Kingdom Hearts 3D, it is a great game. You would also probably like Mario Kart 7, it is very addicting, and the online is amazing.

The 3DS is a very nice hand held system. A 3DS cost about $170. It is very simular to the Nintendo DSi but has more features added. It comes with two stylus. The orignal Nintendo DS stylus and the adjustable stylus. With the Circle Pad, located above the + Control Pad, it is very easy to use.
There are some things that I think Nintendo could do better on was the 3D Camera. The 3D Camera is a very low quality. When you take pictures it comes out all blurry. Also, Nintendo needs to make DS games 3D.

[Hank Hill]

Well, even though you say you prefer more "mature" games, I'm going to just list the 3DS games that have gotten great reviews/are coming soon along with their respective genres and metacritic scores (when applicable.)

Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D - Action/Adventure - 94/100 out of 85 critic reviews
Super Mario 3D Land - Platformer - 90/100 out of 82 critic reviews
Mario Kart 7 - Racing - 85/100 out of 73 critic reviews
Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask - Puzzle/Visual Novel - 82/100 out of 53 critic reviews
Virtue's Last Reward - Puzzle/Visual Novel - 88/100 out of 12 critic reviews
Super Street Fighter IV 3D - Fighter - 85/100 out of 69 critic reviews
Fire Emblem: Awakening - Strategy RPG - 91/100 out of 17 critic reviews
Resident Evil: Revelations - Horror/Survival/Action - 82/100 out of 78 critic reviews
Kid Icarus: Uprising - Shooter/Action/Adventure - 83/100 out of 75 critic reviews

These are just a few of the titles worth getting on the 3DS, with many more I haven't listed here. Other games are coming to the handheld, which are as follows:

Pokemon X/Y
Monster Hunter Tri Ultimate
Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon
Animal Crossing: New Leaf
Mighty Mudds 2
Project X Zone
Ace Attorney 5
Professor Layton VS Ace Attorney
Professor Layton and the Remnants of a Lost Civilization
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate

And there's apparently supposed to be a great deal more announcements coming throughout the year.

So yeah. BUY A 3DS.
