To begin I have a hypothetical question. If your vision was such that you could see the world in black and white and one other colour, what would that colour be? I am thinking of this along the lines of Schindler's List. Everything that you would see would be black and white, except for this one colour.
Since I canceled my PS4 pre-order I have been tossing around the idea of getting a handheld instead. I figure that I could get the system and a handful of games and still be under the cost of just the PS4. Deciding which handheld to get has been one of the most difficult decisions I have made in recent memory. It has been even more difficult than choosing between Doctor Who and Bioshock Infinite. It is so difficult because I want them both the same amount. I made up a wishlist on amazon.com for both the vita and 3ds to see which one had more games that I wanted. Well, I wanted the same amount of games for both systems. That did not help me at all. I then decided to look at digital content. The vita has a larger collection of psp, psone or indie games that I would like to play. That would be great, but the future retail releases seem to be very sparse. We know that the 3ds will have Nintendo support for years to come, so the retail releases are nothing to worry about even if there are less digital releases that I would like. So I figure that content-wise they are both on a level playing field.
Price and storage are two more issues that could have an effect on my choice, but I cannot say that they are a big factor. The vita may be more expensive now, but Target is apparently slashing the price for Gamescon next week. That would put the vita at the same price as a 3ds xl.
So, to conclude I want them both. I want a vita because it has a bunch of killer software that I want to play. I want a 3ds because it also has a bunch of kickass software that I want to play. I did make a decision last night though...
Last night I picked up a...
and and
Now, I was planning on getting both of these games eventually, but they probably would not have been on the top of my list. I got them both now for the $30 eshop credit. Now comes the issue of deciding what to get with the eshop credit. I do not know if I should get a retail game, or a bunch of virtual console games. There are a bunch of games that I am looking forward to on the 3ds, and if you are curious you should be able to find them here.
The biggest problem with this purchase is that I will probably still be focusing my time on Xenoblade Chronicles. I just got to Colony 6 and am excited to see what happens.
Before I forget, I still really want a vita.
Good deal on the 3DS! I have one and I love it. I want to try a Vita before I make the jump and purchase one though.
And if I could only see Black, White, and one other color, I think that other cool would be......
Red.
Not only does Red look badass when combined with Black and White, I also happen to like the color quite a bit as well!
I would say Yellow. Yellow and black contrast in such a wonderful way.
good purchase! I'm sure you'll love it. The 3DS is great. I still want a Vita too though.....
The XL screen size is awesome. I actually cannot wait to pull out some of my DS games and play them without needing to squint at all.
The Vita is compelling because I already have 20 or so psone classics that should work on the Vita.
3DS is killer!
I am sure that it will kill my wallet. Stupid virtual console.
I'm actually playing my DSi XL right now. I got carried away thinking about it as I opened it to play Okamiden this afternoon. I said to myself, "This is best device every made!"
I picked up okamiden a while back, but never actually played it. I was stupid enough to gte pokemon white at the same time. I did mess around with blue a long time ago, but White was technically my first pokemon game.
I bought SMT4 and Fire Emblem when they released. I have the $30 credit, but I don't own a 3DS to use it. I wash the 3DSXL was cheaper. I don't want to spend $200 on a handheld. My problem is, should I bite the bullet and buy a 3DSXL or do I give the $30 credit away to someone that has a 3DS? I have till mid Sept. to decide. That's when the credit expires.
I jumped at the 3DS XL this week because it was $175 this week. I probably would have waited otherwise.
$175 isn't too bad. My birthday was last week and I got a few extra dollars. Maybe I'll pick one up too.
Personally i would get a psp for the fact theres alit of great games cheap fft,Ogre battle tactics a slew of rpgs etc, not to mention it compatable with the ps3,and if i could have one color it would be green ,my favorite color, great question by the way not many people would have thought of that.
I am aware of the amazing psp library, but persona 4 and Ys whatever of celceta make the vita so tempting. Plus, the ability to download psp games is awesome.
I agree the Vita is a great system just pricey so are the games.
Good choice! I'd like to get a Vita too sometime but if I can have only one, I'm glad I have a 3DS. By the way, looking at your list is the first I've heard of Etrian Odyssey Untold. I am very intrigued...
It's a remake of the first one. Since I have never played an etrian odyssey, I thought that it would be a good starting point.
The 3DS is great. Though I have more DS games and there's also the fact that the store still isn't on Colombian region (yet), I have the advantage that I can play games that I missed for not having a DS and the new releases for the 3DS which are now more frecuent. I would like to Fire Emblem Awakening, since I heard it's a starting point in the franchise (I had never played a FE game before).
As for the color question, it would be either red or yellow. Those two, together with black and white, are my favorite colors.
I have not played any other Fire Emblem, but from the prologue section I will say that I am getting good vibes from it. This is coming from somebody who has given up on the majority of tactical rpgs that I have played.
This is why I would choose yellow... 
... I am not quite sure why I decided on this colour scheme, but I have grown to love it.
Well, after hearing about a rumored $500 PS4/Vita bundle, I am certainly going to wait on getting a PS4. Might be worth considering for you as well!
Since I would like both systems, I will definitely keep that in mind. Hopefully they announce some more details at gamescon.
Nice 3DS XL. I wish I had one. The small screen of the original is so tiny. So many great games out now but you'll have your hands full with those two for a while.
the die has been cast. may you enjoy those offerings. and if you can, try out came in october try out spirit camera. That's the game that makes me wanta 3DS.
I think I might go the 3DS route as well, eventually.
