Argument Article- 3DS vs Vita

I have just read the most ridiculous article of my life. It was an article explaining 10 “BIG” reasons you should buy a 3DS over a Vita, and normally I just bypass fanboyish crap like that. This time I simply could not, all the mis-information explaining why you should buy the 3DS over the Vita and not really explaining the counter fight from the Vita’s perspective

Welcome to N4G. This type of journalism has been going on for away now. Good read.

Wow "counter articles" especially ones unprofessional like this one is totally pathetic.

Even though I agree with most of your points, but you could've rephrase it better without sounding like an amateur.

MaxXAttaxX4464d ago

They should leave "counter articles" to random non-professional commenters like me:

Well said. This is the type of ignorance that keeps Nintendo in business. All the points neatly stomped on by logic. If the VITA had remade MGS3 you would hear up and down the gaming community 'So, Sony just remade MGS3? I could just buy a PS2 and pay much cheaper for the game. You see this is why Sony fails'

But is MORE then okay for Nintendo to remake anything they want and people toss compliments and money and praises at them without so much as a WTF Nintendo.It's fine for Nintendo to dredge up the past as much as they want but the minute Sony takes any game recent, from last year, from a decade ago at all it's time to write the 'VITA has to many ports and games from the PS3' articles again making sure to completely ignore the fact that there are lots of original games and the ports look and play better then anything the 3DS can crank out. I could bet my head that any game on the 3DS put on the VITA would blow it away.

Nintendo gets away with EVERYTHING.And if you even squeak about it, the gaming community gets all up in arms.And every time you point out that VITA games play and look better then anything on the 3DS they pull out RE Revelations, the one game that looks decent. Everyone made sure and either ignored and made excuses when the FIFA 12 comparison was made between the two. And I am not the only person who think 3DS 3D is crap. But don't even whisper it to anyone are risk getting your throat slit.

FriedGoat4464d ago (Edited 4464d ago )

I have a 3DS and this is totally correct. Uncharted is amazing but gets compared to console counterparts and gets 7's. Mario 3d land is average and short and gets 9's. If 3D land was compared to galaxy it would be 5's Nintendo just get away with it all!

Titanz4465d ago (Edited 4465d ago )

I..can't...stop....LAUGHIN '! xD

Midori4465d ago (Edited 4465d ago )

The article the writer is responding to contained misinformation and employed opinions as facts. This article is no different, also presenting opinions as facts and spreading more incorrect information.

On top of that, the writer of this article incessantly uses language such as "HAHAHAHA", incessant cursing, poor capitalization, etc.

In the author's attempt to offer a rational rebuttal, "Steve" went below the level of his predecessor.

svoulis4465d ago (Edited 4465d ago )

While I admit some parts are exaggerated and out of line, the article as a whole is not opinion based.

Show me where please? Did you see the BlazBlue reviews for the 3DS?

Did Nintendo not release the Circle Pad Pro for particular games out and soon coming out?

Are the games selling on the 3DS not primarily remakes or Nintendo branded games?

Is the Vita store not already up?

Can you not play most PSP games, and PSOne games on the Vita one way or another?

Did it not take Nintendo almost 5 months to bring theirs E-Shop up?

Are there not "console experience" like games on the Vita?

Did the 3DS not take almost a year in total to start releasing original "console worthy" games? I've had mine since launch and aside from Mario Kart & Super Mario Land 3D I'm just starting to actually find interest in it again.

In my defense I wrote this article and compiled pictures in about 20 minutes, so yes there are some errors, and I will go back and correct those, but the cursing will stay.

My entire reason for this article is that the original poster gave excuses for owning the 3DS over logical reason, If the author had actually mentioned things the 3DS does that the Vita doesn't do I wouldn't have written it. The only reasons that made sense were the 3D, and the fact that Nintendo makes great first party games.

rezzah4465d ago

He probably acted more out of emotion than logic.

Which can be messy, thus the reasons for his mistakes.

GraveLord4465d ago

You might want to re-read the article. But those weren't his opinions. Most of his "facts" are actual "facts" backed up with an actual explanation that's not biased.

Midori4464d ago (Edited 4464d ago )

un·bi·ased   [uhn-bahy-uhst]
adjective
not biased or prejudiced; fair; impartial.

"This is a complete joke, this system has nothing “console” worthy besides a few remakes and Resident Evil Revelations, and I bought my 3DS mainly for RE: Revelations, and I admit its fan[censored]tastic. That is literally all it has going for it, and a few remakes."

Steve then uses examples of ports and emulated games (despite the 3DS also having backwards compatibility) from last generation to prove that the Vita has good fighters, despite later saying,

"Seriously, that is more of a flaw than a good reason especially considering the top selling games on the 3DS are in fact the remakes of older games. Where’s the originality?"

[image of Circle Pad Pro]"Yeah, you need this to enjoy some new games coming out."
Literally none of the announced and currently released 3DS releases require the Circle Pad Pro to function.

Aside from those and some borderline comments, the article has legitimate points. I can overlook that it is marred by poor punctuation, grammar, spelling, and the other not-so-subtleties that comprised the post.

ozstar4465d ago

Holy ****, you do realize you're way worse than the other author of that article right?

You disgust me

svoulis4465d ago (Edited 4465d ago )

How exactly am I worse? Just like I said before, Prove any of what i said wrong.

Personally I could care less if I "disgust" you. I don't even know you but thats besides the point, I mean would you mind elaborating why I disgust you?

@rezzah

You are probably right in that case. Sorry I can't stand this whole Vita 3DS bullsh@t anymore though. This article was more of a counter-act to the reasons to own a 3DS, I never said someone should buy a Vita over a 3DS and list reasons why. I just showed people that everything he basically said could be said about the Vita as well, and if people dont get that. Oh well

rezzah4465d ago

Probably by replying to the other opinionated article in the first place. People might she this as a fanboy defense, or emotional reaction towards a obvious "lesser" (fanboy) person.

Also perceived emotional reactions don't do you good even when you add logic sometimes, because the person feels that they understand that you are lower than them self. Which is probably why you disgust ozstar up there ^

ozstar4465d ago

Because you have publicly embarrassed yourself by writing a petty blog retort to another frankly unimportant, and pointless, blog post on another site.

Sure, the original article wasn't well thought out, but most people who read it didn't need you to point that out.

How Many More Victims, Like Garry's Mod, Will Nintendo's Hurtful Crusade Create?

Hanzala from eXputer: "As Nintendo takes out 20 years' worth of stuff from Garry's Mod, I watch in shock, thinking why it continues to hurt and discourage its fans."

RiseNShine16d ago (Edited 16d ago )

The irony that some of the most disgusting business practices come from companies like Disney or Nintendo, i can't even begin to understand what terrible damage was Garrys Mod making to Nintendo bottom line, imho they're getting pretty nervous about where they're heading in the future, handhelds are no longer something exclusive to Nintendo, from Steam Deck to many others, now you can play the latest games and pay a fraction of the price on Steam sales, so it's up to their exclusives, which just on their own would make hard to justify purchasing a closed overpriced hardware with outrageous price policies (Super Mario Odyssey is still 60 euro 6 years later!), and as a home console they're always underperforming compared to Sony or Xbox.

gold_drake16d ago (Edited 16d ago )

i cam guarantee you, that their exclusives alone is what drives switch sales. they sell in the 10s of millions of copies.

nintendo created their franchises to be sort of nostalgia driven, exclusive only on nintendo.

people will always buy the pkmn games as they always bring in new younger fans amd is family friendly

mario kart, the same thing, mario games in general.

zelda games are system sellers. animal crossing for the casual gamers.

nintendo doesnt need third vame devs essentially. they made sure with the switch and the limitations that they looked more to pc ps and xbox.

its sad, but nintendo is more than fine with what they're doing. they positioned themselves to appeal to the more casual gamers.

but to your point, im not sure why they're doing this rly.

Inverno16d ago

Look at how they handled Nintendo games being streamed or uploaded on YouTube in the past. They killed Yuzu and Citra even when they had nothing to do with ToTK being leaked, not to mention it was basically unplayable on emulation the week it was leaked. Smash Bros tournament, that was fairly recent. They shut down their online services without any care for purchases made. I bought a switch after skipping their last 2 consoles and handhelds but I don't plan on buying anything Nintendo in the future. They take things to the extremes, they legitimately hate their fans. They're honestly right up there with the likes of Acti, EA, and Ubi, only difference is that they disguise themselves as being family friendly all the while being shady.

Sony Patents To Prevent You From In-Game Harassment By Reading Your Emotions

A new patent recently published by Sony wants to gather biometric data of gamers to track whether one is being harassed using AI tools.

Profchaos25d ago (Edited 25d ago )

I hope this is one of those patents that never comes to fruition.

I already dislike the fact you can pay a significant amount for a online service buy associated games and content on said service and get banned from that service over potentially a misunderstanding the bans are already handed out for flimsy reasons

I'd rather see money invested in a ban that simply removes the offensive players ability to communicate with unknown players allow them to continue party chats with friends but not with Joe blow on cod.

exputers25d ago

Agreed. Blizzard recently banned a college Overwatch 2 player who's dependent for saying "shit." Pretty harsh.

Profchaos24d ago (Edited 24d ago )

How rediculas really. You can't say a word that's allowed in most PG films and prime time TV but the game is based around killing the enemy team using guns, explosives etc.

It's just backwards.

just_looken25d ago

What your talking about is called block list

In 2006 a spaceship dropped of the playstation 3/xbox 360 i say that that generation was the last great gen with game functions/tech that has yet to comeback

Anyhow the playstation 3 if you block listed a id they could not talk to you in chatroom with either text or voice. But that was pre mind fucked 2018 when people were more human than sheep.

But hey gta 6 is coming out billion dollar budget without a single player custom character creator and without singeplayer coop off/online something saints row 1-3 had on the xbox 360.

z2g25d ago

Take my social security and bank account numbers too! Here’s a picture of my wife and our address.

phoenixwing25d ago

Cmon where's the pictures of your children. Don't hold out on them.

H925d ago

At this rate I feel Sony will eventually sell a room to play games in it where they can monitor your every breath

jambola25d ago

I genuinely get a bit worried sometimes when a friend says something that could be offensive In a party
Because I have no trouble believing some bans would happen when in a private party for saying something wrong

SegaSaturn66925d ago

I want them to censor erotic content by measuring my groin temperature so i dont get too distracted while playing black ops 2.

Popsicle25d ago

Terrible idea. Not only do I not consent to providing my biometric data, the potential for mishandling biometric data is almost a certainty. Positive stress and negative stress can produce similar changes in biometrics. Interpreting the precise emotion a person is feeling is not only invasive but could be easily misconstrued. I hope this never comes to fruition.
