You can easily grab the entire │ library for each respective console, and │ the form factor of the Vita especially is │ comfy. What's more, there are a ton of │ oddball Japanese games on both. Vita has │ many hidden gems like Muramasa, God Eater, │ Shinobido 2, and many visual novels. │ │ The Vita is where handheld gaming truly │ stopped. After that it was all "hybrids" │ ├─■ 🕑 4. │ I've been playing Picross 3D all day on my CFW new 3DS xl. │ │ Spent $100 on a n3dsXL with poor 3D rendering capabilities in COVID │ time with Biden bucks. It's been a good purchase. │ │ Sadly my trusty R4 chip is no longer being recognized by my console, │ so I've been playing DS games via Twilight Menu++ , which sometimes │ randomly freezes. I think even with a rooted DSi / 3DS it's still worth │ using a modchip because they can emulate more reliably than TM++ even │ if they cost moneys. │ │ If you have to choose between a n3DSxl and DSi I think the former is the │ better choice. Plus there's an hshop app that lets you download whatever │ 3DS/dsiware you want and you can use FTPD to otherwise upload stuff │ or manage the disk without having to unscrew the damn thing. │ │ Best 3DS hack I did was replacing the c-stick with a PSP nub, second │ best was picking up a controller-grip for it. Don't sleep on the 3DS! │ Though I am intending to buy & root a Vita down the road. │ └─■ 🕑 5. PsVita is good. It can run PSP games too.
