File: 3DS-vs-Vita.jpg (29 KB, 560x400)

I was thinking of getting either a 3DS or a Vita. Which one is the better choice ?
I want something that comfortably fits in my pocket, so the Nintendo Switch isn't a choice for me.
>>
how do you have pockets that big to carry around that stuff???? the vita is better hacked but it depends on what games you want to play more.
>>
>>748148245
Vita for quality, 3ds for slightly less quality but with (if modded) gb, gbc, gba, ds, dsi AND 3ds, you get a shit ton more games
>>
>>748148245
Depends on what you want to play. It's likely you probably be mostly emulating old Nintendo games so I'd say get a 3ds
>>
>>748148245
Steam Deck so you can play both.
>>
>>748148245
Vita because it has better emulation capabilities, plus vibecoders managed to make a ds and a 3ds emulator for it
>>
buy both
>>
>>748148245
You can emulate both but 3ds and ds games are more annoying to play on a pc. I'd rather have the 3ds hardware.
>>
>>748148245
The Vita is a more powerful and robust handheld option. The 3DS mainly offers dual screens and a very suitable form factor for them, so it comes down to how interested you are in the catalogue of DS and 3DS games.
>>
>>748148245
expect to cramp your left thumb no matter the choice you make, but the 3ds has the better ergonomics for what that's worth.
there's also the fact that many of the vita's catalog has had ports to other systems, with the newest one being muramasa next year.
yeah just get a 3ds.
>>
>>748148245
Get a chinkheld. Both of these are obsolete and the vita has no games.
>>
>>748148552
I thought the Vita had a bigger catalog due to being better at emulation versus the 3DS ? Sony really fumbled the Vita....
>>
>>748148245
Both were solid options until zoomzooms pumped the prices of these when they became trendy. get a ds lite, a chink handheld or a switch lite.
>>
>>748149193
You may be right, I never looked much into vuta emulation, but I'm more concerned with hardware that can 1:1 run software natively, so like a wii u can run gamecube games when modded because it's natively bw compatible with wii, which is essentially a modified gc
>>
>>748148552
vita has psp and ps1 not counting 3rd party emulators tho
>>
>>748148245
3ds because it folds. you can't really stick the vita in your pocket because of the sticks.
>>
>>748149081
she shouldnt sit like that, I can see her pantsu

For the people that know about emulation, is there any noticeable difference between a 3DS and a New 3DS ?

3DS is 3DS in emulation.

yeah the N3DS is way faster, you can't do psx on an O3DS
It's also good for cleaning up performance issues in native games
>>

>two listings for 400 dollars
Jesus Christ, at that point you might as well just buy a switch or a steam deck. Are zoomers really willing to spend that much money on “retro” hardware?

Skill issue. You must be a foid.
>>
A lot of good Vita games are already available through other avenues like ports and the state of emulation is decent enough that you can test out the library on a PC without much trouble. 3DS has too many games with hardware-specific gimmicks so if you want to emulate them you're usually going to get a pretty watered down experience, even for games that don't use the second screen that much.

The OLED vita might be the single best handheld ever made.
But it really depends on what type of games you play
For bing bing wahoo 3ds is doubtless better
>>
>>748153097
it would be if it had games
>>
Vita is a bit chunky for the pocket, but a great machine

Consider chinkhelds. You can get a 30$ game boy clone that plays up to PSX/N64. I love mine and don’t have to worry about losing or scrapping it, it’s fucking 30$
>>
>>748153246
watch out the vita tranny itt will seethe if you start mentioning chinkhelds, he wants you to buy his ewaste vitas on ebay. he spends all day shitting up the handheld general
>>
>>748148245
> Which one is the better choice ?
a chinkheld that's a tenth of the prices, has 10x the features and library, and is actually pocketable
>>
>>748150187
you can't stick a 3ds in your pocket either unless you dress like a child and wear cargo shorts like a filthy neckbeard manchild, which you probably do, but for those of us who are professionals it isn't an option

A chinese handheld, the Vita, and especially the Nintendo 3DS have all gotten more expensive as of late. I don't know why, maybe some gaming e-celeb said the 3DS is filled with "hidden gems" or something.

For the same price, you can get a modern handheld from China that can emulate far more systems than either of those options.
>>
>>748153546
any cheap anbernic during their sales assuming you dont live in a country that gets raped by sales tax. if you say they have slowdowns because of some arbitrary emulation choice thats not my problem

I'm pending towards the 3DS, since emulating 3DS games feels quite weird because of the 2 screen setup, and I don't see much of a reason to get a chinkheld since I can emulate most stuff on my old phone.
And I thought a lot of people were complaining about the build quality of chinkhelds like the AYN Thor.

if you want to talk about making a proft, that schinkhelds.
I once had a few, butthey all sucked, ended up reselling them locally for profit
Chinese gameboys with 500x games probably the easiest thing to resell to parents who want to give their kid a cheap toy etc
One handheld I had was a famiclone, an actual famiclone with even a headphone jack composite output.
That thing was really cool, but I got rid off it because the D-pad sucked
Not even emulation technically, just a famicom in a gameboy shell
>>748153662
I much prefer not having to worry about emulation or slowdowns at all.
>>
>>748153860
The build quality on the AYN Thor is fine but touch screen & gyro lag hard and you have to deal with shader stutter. You're better off just using a 3DS if you want to play 3DS games.
>>
>>748153537
nta but i fit mine in my jeans pocket with my phone.
it's a tight fit and probably bad for the screen though
>>
>>748148245
It depends on what you want
on the Vita, you get really good PS emulation plus PSP and obviously, the Vita library
on the 3DS you get really good GBA emulation, native DS (use a flashcart for better results), and obviously, the 3DS library
the homebrew scene on both consoles is thriving and emulation for older consoles works pretty great on both
It also depends on how much effort you're willing to put into hacking the consoles, 3DS is really fucking easy, I don't know how hard is it to hack the Vita, since I got mine already hacked, but I took a quick glance to the hacking instructions and you have to check too much shit lmao

The vita has no games, but it's ergonomic. The 3DS has no games either, but... no, that's it. You're gonna be disappointed either way. Proper chinkhelds are a decent choice, but vita emulation is real shit.

I think you want the New 3DS (XL). If you can get them with the IPS screens it's really nice. I just got one a month ago and love it. Wasn't cheap but these are only going to cost more as time goes on.
