Nintendo 3ds: Best Gaming Library?

Gamers often look at a consoles library before deciding which to buy: does the 3ds have the best variety?

Does the 3DS have that diverse of a library? Most of the titles I see are either RPGs or something Nintendo published. I mean, I certainly believe the PS2 / 3 / Vita have more in terms of diversity.

PoSTedUP3732d ago

it is. i wouldnt believe that the vita is anywhere near as diverse as the 3ds. the 3ds has genres that make genres say: "that's an actual genre!?". definitely not as diverse as the ps2, closer to the ps3 just not as hardcore. imo. i want one really bad.

PoSTedUP3732d ago

you.. want me to list genres..?
?

WeAreLegion3732d ago

Yes. What are the new genres you're talking about?

abzdine3732d ago

are there actually some good JRPGs on it?
never heard of some amazing ones on 3DS.
Other than Zelda i dont see what is worth it, but i might be wrong cause tbh i dont know much about 2DS library

The VITA lacks the "sim" genre (Fashion/AC/HM/RF on Nintendo) but I think the 3DS lacks more fighters, higher budget action games, racers and shooters.. maybe non cartoony sports too.

Since quality can be very subjective, it can boil down to software and hardware sales as a more weighty statement.

3DS surely takes the crown with that.

ps2 has been around a lot longer though.

For only being here since 2011 the 3DS has a lot of games worth playing.

dedicatedtogamers3732d ago

3DS is definitely diverse; the Vita is as well, especially if you add in backwards compatibility for both platforms.

Activemessiah3732d ago

You can play PSP games on Vita?

admiralvic3732d ago

Digital ones, yes. The Vita can also play certain PS1 classics.

dedicatedtogamers3731d ago

Nearly the entire PSP library is available on Vita, digitally of course. I can't think of any PSP games that are not available on Vita that I wanted to download with the exception of Valkyria Chronicles II (and even that can be put on PS Vita, but you have to do it in a runaround sort of way)

Activemessiah3732d ago

@admiralvic @AznGaara I see, Cheers. +1

WeAreLegion3732d ago

Nowhere near PS1, PS2, or SNES libraries. It's a good library, but the original DS still has a better lineup.

SG1_dapunisherX3732d ago

If i have to choose, which handle to get is 3ds . Best gaming library so far. Vita is alright what saving vita right now, is ps plus.

PoSTedUP3732d ago

i chose the vita bc of the power, oled and dual analogues, plus a lot of my favorite franchies. but if i had to pick a top 20 list of vita-only games, the list'd probably not make a full 20 i can recommend tbh. just around 20, probably a few more, if i were to include ports. i still love the thing, and its like an early ps3 as far as quality vs quanity atm, imo.

tubers3732d ago

Yes, PS+ is a major reason I haven't ditched the VITA but I still prefer the system over the 3DS since I'm not too fond of most Nintendo offerings.

il-JumperMT3732d ago

The only 2 games that intrest me on 3DS is Bravely Default and Fire Emblem.

PoSTedUP3732d ago

i want it for Kid Icarus: uprising, zelda lbw, harvest moon NL, animal crossing nb, pilot wings, mario kart, the yoshi game comming out, resident evilR, personaQ (most impotantly), plus to try a lot of the Jrpgs/rps and platformers that look pretty good. nano assult actually looks amazing, like an intricate super stardust.

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5095d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905095d ago (Edited 5095d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5095d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5095d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495095d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5095d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5095d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
