Hi Guys/Gals

Ok so im looking at getting a handheld console but not sure what one.

currently got my eye on an nintendo 3ds xl as there are several games im interested in(the two resident evils,tales of the abyss,harvest moon and of course pokemon). it is however a fair bit of cash and im not absolutely sure.

so what do you guys think?, is the 3Ds a good choice? or is something like the ps vita etc better.

any helpful advice will be great

kthnxbye

I'd choose 3DS over Vita. If only because 3DS is at least backwards compatible with the amazing DS library.

Although if it were my choice, I'd go with DS Lite. Considerably cheaper if money is an issue. All the amazing DS games and GBA games. But I'm old.

Things don't go well for the Vita, sales are very poor. So it's propably better to look for a 3DS, as the future is more promising.

3DS here as well. The 3D is pretty nice, but it'll make you dizzy.

DS Lites are pretty cheap these days. So I agree on those as well.
