100% with you. If we just look at Vita Library vs 3DS library. Meaning what games can i play on a Vita on the go vs a 3DS on the go. The Vita's library is so much better. Theres 20 high profile big franchise games on 3DS that everyone knows but beyond that the 3DS has nothing on the depth and variety thats on a Vita. People give anyone that says that shit but head to head imo the Vita has just a way more stacked line up than the 3DS.

Thats the one place a 3DS probably can be chosen over a Vita but its not crazy to prefer what is on a Vita over Mario, Zelda, Mario Kart, and Smash Bros...... thats the 3DS, just like every other Nintendo System since 1990.
Then you got a bunch of Japanese games which are as good as anything you'd find on a 3DS and you can choose which ever one.
Then you have all the psp and ps1 classics....
I can understand people wanting the Nintendo stuff if thats there thing. However pound for pound if you aren't just a Nintendo fanboy for Mario than the Vita has a better line up of games you can play on a Handheld. Honestly for most of the indies i prefer the Vita over a console or steam because i like using the device and its a perfect way to play a lot of the indies. Hotline Miami on a handheld anywhere you go is fucking great. The whole bullshit narrative that the Vita is dead or has nothing to play is just wrong. If you want to play good games on a handheld then the Vita has more than you will ever get through.
