Yeah, that's a lot of bulk. I don't like the Wii U controller either, but Nintendo has done just fine this generation so maybe they know what they're doing.
I'm a gaming fan over a system fan - if it's good and has good games I'll get it.
Nintendo jumps off the deep end, announces second analog + MH for 3DS

That add-on looks really clunky. : / And why should a person buy something that should have been included in the first place?

I imagine it'll come bundled with Tri G. Meaning your still going to at least partially pay for it, because the bundle will likely be about $10 more than the game would normally be.
But hey, this is the thing that's going to, I'm sorry, that has aided in Vitas demise. You may as well get it so you can have a piece of history. Lol, smiley face.

Memberboth have games worth playing, i know cause i've got both DS and PSP, when there's a game on one system that catches my attention more i play that for a good while. things swithes around and i focus on the other one. it's all about enjoying your games, i know i'll get both vita and 3ds eventually and it's growing library of games, just want to have fun. if you're not having fun then you're doing it wrong (maybe)!

MemberI don't think anyone here wants the Vita to die prematurely, it's just we're being realistic.
After Vice City Stories flopped, the PSP was basically dead in the west as far as software sales go. For the last couple years, about the only games for the PSP have been RPGs localized by a handful of small companies.
Heck, EA has put out more games for the Kindle the last few years than PSP.
Japan was the only place the PSP thrived, and that was because of MH. Now it doesn't have that. Maybe if it got a DQ or FF game, but Squenix hasn't announced anything...

MemberI think the vita stands to be a direct competitor to the iphone market. Those of us that would go so far as to label ourselves gamers would love to have the full titles that have been announced, while being able to hand it to a friend or coworker who could still have fun because of simple touch controls.
The only real problem is all of these amazing titles somehow are unknown to people who are not already part of the Sony fold. All of my coworkers dismiss LBP as being a kids game because of it's cute graphics. Most people have never heard of Uncharted. These are titles that should be selling hardware, yet Sony has never been able to push them to the forefront.

It's starting to look like Portable 3rd won't see release outside of Japan until Vita's release. I think Sony wants to pull a Nintendo and use a Vita optimized version to help move units. It seems MH has become the Ferrari of handheld games. Sucks for Pokemon.Sorry your question got lost in the shuffle, bud.

Looking at those numbers 3DS is hardly streaking ahead at the moment.

MemberOuch.
I don't think it's so much Capcom thinking they owe Nintendo, so much as Capcom really, really hating Sony. It's really hard to drawn any other conclusion from all the games announced for Sony platforms, then canceled and moved to other ones.
And the lack of ports. Capcom loves to port to everything but Sony platforms (unless they really pass up money). I mean seriously, how could the PSP never get a Resident Evil game? They could have ported some of the early ones for a small investment. Probably wouldn't get rich, but still, it's a big franchise, you never know.
But mostly I think it's development costs. Capcom is a very cheap company. The jump from the PSP to the 3DS isn't really a generation leap, it's more like from the Dreamcast to the Gamecube (or Xbox). Things look a lot better, but the models and such aren't that much more detailed.

Memberanother one to raise from slumber!!!
not sure how many of you guys know but Mario Kart 7 will have a peripheral like a wheel thingy attached to the 3DS to take advantage of the gyro scope thingy. it might work but i don't really like it too much. in other slightly unrelated news: Nintendo's reporting its first annual loss, it was only inevitable.

They keep coming out with peripherals like this, and I'm going to start calling it the Genesis Mobile.
Heh, it'll be interesting to see the CD drive attachment. ;D
Of course, there actually was a portable Genesis, the Sega Nomad, and there are several portable Genesis systems (running an emulator that's not fully compatible) out these days from Sega licensor AtGames. Naturally incompatible with the peripherals.

Vita may be getting Monster Hunter and a Grand Theft Auto. We won't know for sure until Friday.

MemberWell, bear in mind, Monster Hunter Portable 3 is simply an existing PSP game. You can run it on a Vita in Japan, it just never came out outside of Japan. It was re-released on the PS3 in HD, presumably this would just be that re-mastered HD version on a cart.
Capcom apparently wanted to release the re-mastered PS3 version of the game, but Sony allegedly said "Screw that, just release the PSP version" and Capcom said "As if!".
Presumably this might be a compromise. But as you can just play the game on the Vita already in Japan, I don't think it's going to help sales any. Then again, they do prefer physical media there, so can't hurt, exactly.
