>I'm also thinking of buying a Vita to read VN's on it, is that a good idea?

You sound like a faggot so sure, why not

>>15949794

So of the two handhelds, homebrewing a 3DS for piracy would be the preferable option?

>>15949765

Handhelds are where something like 80% of what's been worth playing from the last decade have been, so yeah, both a 3DS and a Vita. Been back on a Monster Hunter kick on the 3DS with 3G, while on my Vita I'm finishing up Super Robot Wars X in preparation for T coming out in March.

Currently playing Chasm on Vita, which is alright but I recall lot of people were disappointed by the "generated map seed" announced during its development on Kickstarter. The other games I've played recently were Ridge Racer 2, a meme rom of Donkey Kong Country 3 (through retroarch - snesx core) and Zero no Kiseki Evolution.

I'm also testing several custom PS1 eboots (specifically jap games but also a few western ones), out of the dozen I made so far, only two failed to run properly.

>>15949765

>I'm also thinking of buying a Vita to read VN's on it, is that a good idea?

Unless you're proficient in moonrunes, the Vita doesnt have a lot of VNs translated in english, besides Steins;Gate, Chaos;Child, Fata Morgana, Utawarerumono and Eiyuu Senki (as a fan-translation mod).

>>15949794

Nigga, the sd2vita adapter is a thing and I can confirm myself a 400GB microsd work inside some reddit user tested with a 512GB microsd which seems to work too Vita hack is also (arguably) easier to setup than the 3DS

>>15949833

Learn to read dummy, you have to homebrew for the sd2vita adapter

>>15949775

But without a NEW 3ds, emulators don't even run at playable speed.

>>15949851

ya of course get a N3DS that's what i meant.

who the fuck would buy an old 3ds?

To the extent that the PSP was the best racing game console ever made, and the Vita is the best PSP ever made, I love my Vita

I've had a flash cart for 10+ years for my DS and it's great, but the Lite is too small for my hands now.

There's a switch thread already up you know

The Vita is a solid portable console for Japanese games. It's pretty comfortable too. I have a 3ds just for Monster Hunter but don't like it at all other than those games. The shape just feels wrong and the screens are shit.

>>15949765

Speaking of handhelds, how did Nintendo dominate handheld consoles since the Gameboy? No other handheld has come close to Nintendo's sales within the respective console gens. (PSP did sell barely under the GBA but it competed with the DS.)

I don't care about console wars, but I'm curious from a business perspective how Nintendo did so well for so long in that market. Affordability? Game library? Useful features/accessories?

>>15950542

>Affordability? Game library?

These two.

The Gameboy had Tetris and later on, Pokemon, and both the Gamegear and the Lynx, while more powerful, didn't have anything comparable. They also ate batteries like shit, and cost far more. The original Gameboy launched at $89, while the other two were $150 and $180 respectively.

The Gameboy Color and the Gameboy Advance had little competition, aside the Neo Geo Pocket which had no chance since the GBC's launch was when Pokemon was at its peak. PSP was a success, but the DS was one of the best damn selling consoles ever. People say that the Wii did well due to casuals, but the DS did even better. Some of its top sellers are Brain Age and Nintendogs. The PSP, as far as I know, was mostly saved by Europoors' piracy. It's what always made Sony consoles big there. Lastly, 3DS wasn't even selling well at launch but it got a price drop and games. Vita has nogaems unless you can speak moon and the $80 price difference, plus memory cards and lack of games is what killed it.

Now we're at Switch, and once again, it has no competition.

>Do you have any handheld consoles?

GBA SP, DS (og fat), PSP 2000, 2DS, OLED Vita, Switch

>Do you like it?

I almost exclusively play games on handhelds if they're not on PC. I played through so many JRPGs on family vacations, and an hour (or three) of Monster Hunter before bed was a ritual back in High School. I'll buy any handheld once it has a game I slightly want to play. I've loved every one I own, and have homebrewed the PSP, 2DS, and Vita.

I'm not sure whether I like the Vita or 2DS more, the Vita has a more unique library (Gravity Rush is unlike any handheld game), but I spent more time with 3DS's library (Bravely Default is my favorite game of the whole gen)

>What're you playing on it?

I'm almost exclusively playing Switch right now, working through Octopath Traveller and playing a lot of Smash Ultimate. I was gifted Xenoblade Chronicles 2 for Christmas, so I guess I'll play through it once I'm done with Octopath.

>I'm also thinking of buying a Vita to read VN's on it, is that a good idea?

Yes and no. Most VNs on Vita are also on PC, and Vita's library is skewed more towards dungeon crawlers. That said, there's a handful of great games outside either category, like Shinobido 2, Soul Sacrifice, Oreshika, Deception 4. It's only worth it if you homebrew though, since Sony will jew you on their proprietary SD cards.

DS Lite, 3DS, and PSP. Buying a Vita tomorrow (already hacked). Was a Nintendofag for a long time, but after using the PSP, I have to say that the design of the DSes sucks. PSP has a bigger screen, fatter buttons and is more sturdy (had it fall from two meters on a hard surface, nothing happened - and it was already used). The DSes I've had had problems with touch screens, circle pads, buttons becoming unresponsive, cartridge readers fucking up, everything.

I don't even play PC games anymore - I have better things to do there, like shitposting here. Both the DS and the PSP have a good library. Ace Attorney, Pokemon, the Wipeouts, Class of Heroes, Sid Meier's Pirates…Despite having the 3DS, I haven't played any of its games yet aside from ORAS and USUM.

N3DS for 3ds, ds , gba and snes games and a Vita for its own games, as well as psp and psx.

Wish sony didn't fuck up vita so bad, it's a good system plagued by a few really fucking retarded decisions and poor support.

Yes get a Vita, its also excellent for PSP and PSX games and has some nice action games and RPGs

3DS is pretty good for Nintendo lines but be aware it might not register button presses as fast as the DS might

For example on Chrono Trigger it was literally impossible for me to win the drinking minigame which requires button press spam at max speed, and when I put the cart into my DS I win first try

>>15950479

The Switch isn't a dedicated handheld. It's a hybrid or portable console and I fucking hate it

>>15950699

Good for you fag

>>15950677

Have fun with your Vita, be sure to try out Soul Sacrifice and Gravity Rush

>>15950693

I can play it anywhere untethered. It's a handheld. PSP could output to TV, why isn't that considered a hybrid?

>>15950699

>long car rides

If the car has easy access to an outlet, otherwise it's fun for 2 hours

>>15949765

I have a PSTV if that counts, and recently dug out my old 3DS. I have a handful of game son it I still enjoy playing, but I mainly like it because it looks cute. Something about the Vita just isn't as cute …

>>15950681

battery life is too short

no 3D display

>>15950728

>I can play it anywhere untethered.It's a handheld. PSP could output to TV, why isn't that considered a hybrid?

Because you have autism. Anyone with a brain realizes the Switch is different from pretty much every handheld up until this point. You would have to be incredibly obtuse or disingenuous to consider the PSP a hybrid.

A gaming laptop could be considered a handheld by those weak fucking standards you put out.

The points against the Switch as a dedicated handheld:

>console prices (for the console itself and its games

>the size being obnoxiously large; the 3DS XL and Vita were already straddling the acceptable lines for handheld sizes but the Switch doesn't even fit into pockets anymore, you need a laptop/tablet-sized case to carry it around

>the games on it most known and marketed on it are big budget 3D AAA games one would expect to see on home consoles such as SMO, Splatoon, and BOTW

>docked mode increases performance so significantly that for many non-indie games you wouldn't be able to play without it without suffering significant losses in playability

>it has no backwards compatibility with the 3DS, yet it has the most notable games on the Wii U ported to it such as Bayonetta 2

>(this is more of an anecdotal point) the majority of people seem to use it in docked mode

>>15950745

I don't like the Switch, and I usually don't like people who like the Switch.

>>15950757

3D was a shitty meme, they should've just made it higher resolution

>>15950777

The switch is different because unlike other handhelds it's a glorified nvidia shield with inferior hardware

>>15950777

>It's not a handheld gaming device because it's expensive, big and I don't like it

The switch is trash but you need to stop talking.

>>15950777

>3D was a shitty meme,

no, it wasn't.

>they should've just made it higher resolution

it did need higher resolution though.

>>15950814

>I don't like it

None of those points had to do with dislike, though I do happen to dislike those aspects about it. If you want to turn this into a more subjective rant against the Switch I'd be happy to do so.

>handheld

>when its the size of a fucking tablet

>Its games and the console itself are more expensive than any other mainstream handheld to date and the games are more suited to consoles than handhelds

>>15950841

>no it wasn't

Give an example of some 3D games that didn't look like shit on the 3DS or took good advantage of the 3D setting

>>15950804

I don't hate fun, I hate the Switch :^)

>>15950841

Nobody used the 3D for a reason. It was shit.

>>15950777

Nice trips.

The size of the Switch isn't too much of a bother for me, since putting the 3DS XL in my pocket already made me have to walk like I have to take a shit. The battery life and portable performance points are the most important ones. Battery life across the board for electronics is piss-poor nowadays.

>>15950864

>Give an example of some 3D games that didn't look like shit on the 3DS or took good advantage of the 3D setting

Mario 3D Land was the only good example of 3D, and it was so situational to where it was unnecessary.

I have a PSP GO and a O3DS, but that one broke 2 days ago, i've tried opening it up to remove the battery and booting without SD but it no longer turns on, the orange/blue led still lights up with the charger plugged in, but if i press the power button nothing happens, now i'm considering buying a used Vita for muramasa, odin sphere, croixeur sigma and neptunia rebirth, is $140 a good price for a OLED Vita with the original charger, 4GB memory card, red SD2Vita and crystal case? It's on 3.68 and comes premodded, but i can just nuke and set it up myself.

Another question, do i bother to send my 3DS for repairs or do i look for a cheap 2DS/3DS instead? I've had it since 2012 and the button R was busted, so it was more or less a pokemon/NES machine, i wasn't too fond of its games either, all i had on it were the pokemon games, monster hunter 3u, rune factory 4 and senran kagura 2.

>>15950777

>console prices

Both Vita and 3DS launched at $250, while PS4 launched at $400 and Wii U at $350. $300 is closer to portable prices than console prices.

>the size

I never bring handhelds around in my pocket, I always keep them in a bag. Even so, it's still way more portable than lugging around a Wii U with power cords and a controller.

>the games on it most known and marketed on it are big budget 3D AAA games

That's the direction of the handheld industry. Games on GB were extremely limited and played differently from any console game. This accelerated until we hit PSP, where ports of PS2 games (Armored Core, MonHun) started to look and play like their home console counterpart. 3DS had graphics rivalling GC/PS2 games, and Switch is comparable to PS360 games.

>docked mode increases performance so significantly that for many non-indie games you wouldn't be able to play without it without suffering significant losses in playability

Not at all. Doom 4 and Wolfen 2 play/look terrible in both handheld and docked, and Breath of the Wild performs better in handheld mode.

>it has no backwards compatibility with the 3DS

It's tradition to keep backwards compatibility, but keeping it for 3DS would require a second screen and a resistive touch screen. They broke with tradition to make something that sells.

>it has the most notable games on the Wii U ported to it such as Bayonetta 2

So what do you call the 3DS ports of Yarn Yoshi, Mario Maker, Captain Toad, and Hyrule Warriors?

>(this is more of an anecdotal point) the majority of people seem to use it in docked mode

I use it docked as often as I use it portable, and I look at it the same way I saw MGS HD's Transfarring feature.

>>15950777

>docked mode increases performance so significantly that for many non-indie games you wouldn't be able to play without it without suffering significant losses in playability

YOU REALLY ARE FUCKING STUPID

Hybrids don't exist anymore because it's fucking inefficient. The loading station is just a bit of plastic filled with air and connectors. Those connectors don't compute shit and you won't get better performance.

Should you actually get better performance it's because it's artificially being slowed down when not in the dock. So it's the complete opposite of what you claimed.

>>15950899

>performs better in handheld mode

I doubt that too. It's more likely because of measuring inaccuracies. From a technical standpoint it should perform the exact same whether docked or not.

That "the dock is half of the console that didn't fit in" is just 100% percent marketing.

The dock doesn't even have any kind of cooling, so there's no way it could perform serious computation.

See embed

>>15950777

Lack of proper dpad is what seriously fucks over the switch, that shit isn't portable solely because of that one issue, and only a complete idiot would use the pro controller outside or buy custom joycons, save youself the trouble and just use something else.

>>15950931

How does the lack of an input method that only indieshit uses anymore make a console not portable?

>>15950878

The 3DS XL and Vita pushing it is the main reason why the size of the Switch bothers me, it goes over the line of acceptable size in my eyes.

>battery life

I forgot about that but good point.

>>15950899

Yes, and those were stupid fucking prices to launch at which is part of the reason they flopped on launch and they had to cut them down to more reasonable prices.

Being slightly more portable than the Wii U doesn't make it a handheld.

>direction of the handheld industry

The 3DS mainly had 2.5D/chibishit or things of that level. Rarely did it have anything actually fully 3D. The Vita had a few 3D games, and they were more suited to consoles I will admit. 3D games on the Vita usually struggled to stay around 30FPS and were more commonly around 21-25 FPS without overclocking.

>Not at all. Doom 4 and Wolfen 2 play/look terrible in both handheld and docked, and Breath of the Wild performs better in handheld mode.

I have never heard of botw playing better in handheld mode from anyone. I've only heard of more bugs in handheld mode.

>they broke with tradition to make something that sells

Yes, so they broke tradition by making a hybrid console. Not a handheld, and not a real successor to the 3DS. Its more of a successor to the Wii U than the 3DS and that's pretty obvious, but at the end of the day it seems to be Nintendo's consolidation of both, making it a hybrid.

>so what do you call the 3DS ports of these games

Mostly retarded or ways for them to cash in because the Wii U sold like shit compared to the 3DS and they needed to make money.

iirc mosous on the 3DS generally had some very shit performance.

>I use it docked as often as I use portable

So what's your problem with me calling it a hybrid then? Your points seem to practically prove my term apt.

>>15950916

>complete opposite of what you claimed

>when the effect is essentially the same for the average consumer and the "how" is just semantics

I wouldn't be surprised if the Switch was underclocked for battery life purposes or something like that.

>>15950916

>>15950916

You are a special kind of stupid. The Switch does exactly this:

>In both docked and portable mode the console utilizes 3 CPU cores at 1005MHz. This does not change because game logic must be identical between the modes

>In docked mode the GPU is clocked at cca. 950MHz while in portable mode it drops down to cca. 750MHz to conserve battery. Games can unlock the clock temporarily in portable mode (like during a demanding scene) but they can't have it permanently turned on.

>>15950950

>when the effect is essentially the same for the average consumer and the "how" is just semantics

Yes but please don't write it that way.

>>15950960

How does me being right make me stupid?

>>15950947

Because why play AAA games on the go when you can emulate SNES and PS1 instead, which do require a proper dpad.

>>15950878

>Nobody used the 3D

This meme needs to stop

>>15950990

Or won't, rather.*

>>15950968

>How does me being right make me stupid?

>HURRR THE CONSOLE PERFORMS THE SAME IN BOTH MODES

<No it does not

>SEE I WAS RIGHT!

Ok

>>15950890

>is $140 a good price for a OLED Vita with the original charger, 4GB memory card, red SD2Vita and crystal case?

A bit expensive and I take it the guy is also charging the price for installing the h-encore hack, but as long as the seller is someone serious and that the Vita is in excellent condition, I'd say go for it.

>>15951000

I didn't even claim it performs the same I named two (2) possibilities:

>>15950916

>Should you actually get better performance it's because it's artificially being slowed down

>I doubt that too. It's more likely because of measuring inaccuracies. From a technical standpoint it should perform the exact same

The second one was a respond to the handheld mode performing better which we both know is untrue.

>>15951013

It's in great condition, i've seen it up close, and the guy is willing to let me fully test it before i buy, i've bought several games and a few controllers from his store already so i know he's not going to scam me.

What about the 3DS? Repair or buy another one.

>>15951025

Even the better performance in handheld claim has merit actually, Breath of the Wild did that when it first came out. The reason is simple and relates to something I forgot to mention - games run at 1080p in docked and at 720p in handheld (maximum resolution that is). This means that while the GPU is more powerful in docked mode, the load it has to handle is increased too. This affects fragment shaders (pieces of code that run on each pixel on the screen) but not vertex shaders (same but one for each vertex in the 3D scene). This means that if a scene is heavy on fragment operations (e.g. a lot of foliage in view), higher resolution means worse performance. The difference between 1080p and 720p is 1152000 pixels, or over 50% so the load is increased steeper (although the relation is not linear)

>>15951085

>games run at 1080p in docked and at 720p in handheld

Okay, so I was wrong about that.

Thx for correcting me instead of just posting that I'm wrong.

>>15951085

>1080p

The fuck? I thought it was 960p

>>15951046

Just remember it's better to install h-encore and setup the hack by yourself, in order you understand how things work.

>>15951157

It seems to vary according to gamefags

https://gamefaqs.please use archive.is/boards/189706-nintendo-switch/75068577

>The UI menus are 720p. Zelda is 900p and FAST RMX + Shovel Knight are 1080p.

Whatever you want to call it, I'll call it a clusterfuck!

>>15951414

Why is it over? You can play the old games regardless.

Is there any sort of gadget for smartphones to simulate the controls of a handed console? I play a lot of emulators and I'm kind of destroying the touch screen, and also it doesn't feel good.

>>15951549

Yes.

>>15951549

Why would you play them on such a tiny screen?

It't understandable if you're on the go but in that case you don't have space for a controller anyways.

>>15950874

but anon:

Switch = Fun

>>15951085

Except you can set TV out to 720 in the system options if you're so inclined

>>15951718

Because I always play them when I'm not in home.

>>15951718

Phone screens tend to be OLED with high PPI and bretty gud color calibration and brightness; low resolution games emulated on a phone can look fantastic, such as GBA games

>>15951980

>bretty gud color calibration

My sides

>>15952069

Not an argument

>>15950890

Too expensive for 3.68. Unless it's coming with a 256GB SD card or something. I'd only pay that much if it was a mint condition OLED on >3.65.

>>15958429

The 3DS and Switch tend to have normalfags look at you. For whatever reason the PSP and Vita maybe its the shape of the handheld? people don't really look as much.

>>15958912

The psp and vita have black polished cases, so they’re less conspicuous and look more like a really big and stupid smart phone, so people probably don’t recognize them as video game devices quickly.

>>15951254

>>15958408

I ended up buying it, it also came with a screen protector. The seller knocked $35 off the price when i told him i wanted a stock console and no SD card, only the adapter, this man was seriously charging $30 for a 2 minute process and a 32gb sd card that i can get anywhere else for $5.

>>15958429

>why use it when you have a computer/console already

being able to play in bed and in comfortable positions anywhere is max comfy

>>15949858

Bought a 3DS XL before n3ds was released. It's still the only one I have. I was pissed when I found out virtually none of the emulators could run worth a shit on it.

What were you thinking anon. Anyways literally any non-urban area you'd be fine to do that. Phones are worth more than fucking 3DSes faggot

>>15959022

Most people don't take close enough looks at other people's phones to differentiate, they're usually focused on their own. The most you'll get is usually passing glances

>>15959029

But i can't take my pc to the living room or the toilet.

>>15959070

No offense but the vita guide is confusing (compared to the 3DS one at least, vita assumes you'll use FTP for everything, when USB is far better) and outdated, nowadays all you have to do is use finalHE and autoplugin, then you manually format SD2Vita and use autoplugin to set it up, adrenaline and pkgj have to be installed manually as well, but fixing the double touch and setting up the database can be done with autoplugin.

>>15958990

Some of us have a job anon.

>>15959213

>autoplugin

Why? It doesn't take much longer to just manually add the plugins you want instead of trust in some software to do it.

>>15959258

There are no downsides to autoplugin that's all, it's the exact same shit as doing it manually.

>>15959229

>>15950574

Only the first 3DS Layton game was really good.

The second (Azran Legacy) is only barely decent. It has a story that lulls in the middle and is very cliche. The third (Mystery Journey) is a retarded reboot about his lazy, hungry daughter who saves cats. It also has the easiest puzzles in the series, paid DLC, no 3D, a JPOP opening, and a retarded twist that is hinted at nowhere ever.

The crossover with Ace Attorney is excellent though.

>>15958912

What if they are staring because they also have a 3DS and are wondering what you are playing?

>>15962699

If that’s really all OP wants to do with it, there’s really no better option

>>15950916

>Should you actually get better performance it's because it's artificially being slowed down when not in the dock

i suspect it's a similar situation to what happened with the vita, where they underclocked it to give it a reasonable battery life. the 1000 vita's battery life is already shit as is at 3 hours. you can "overlock" it with LOLIcon and get the games running how they're meant to by just running the cpu at it's rated speed, but it destroys your battery life. it's understandable why they wouldn't want the switch consuming that much power without being plugged into a constant power source, even if they put it as a toggle setting with a big flashing warning, because the majority of people are retards and they're going to bitch about it. eventually you'll be able to get it running properly in portable mode with mods.

>>15950960

They technically can have it clocked like that in portable mode all the time. It would just fucking demolish the battery life though. I suspect the hardware refresh of the switch would have a vastly improved battery life so you can get docked mode performance during handheld mode. It's bound to happen some day considering how massively popular the system is in Japan and how many of them play portable mode the majority of the time.

>>15958975

Dunno where you are, but secondhand N3DS around here run for around $120. If I were to trade in my O3DSXL i'd probably cost me 70-ish, but I gave it away to a cousin for Christmas.

>>15962787

>1000

>3 hours

Sounds like you got a shitty Vita; my 1000 has never been less than 4 and usually leans towards 5; same for both my XLs

>>15963916

>the Vita (which is dead) getting uncomfortable levels of AAA trash and VNs

The main problem of the Vita was the amount of questionable ports with framerate issues. I'm more lenient towards mediocre games, if I play them on a handheld than if I were to play on PC or home console. Titles like Bullet Girls Phantasia, Gal Gun, Digimon World or even Borderlands suffered from poor optimization. It also lacked more ports of PS2 classics

>>15964010

It depends which game you're running. 3D games (like Deception IV, OPW3, EDF2 Portable) will eat the 1k model's battery in a full afternoon from a full charge, while the slim model lasts an additional two hours at least.

>>15964010

that's because you're not "overclocking" it to get it to run how it's meant to.

>>15949765

Picked up my 3DS for the first time in a year to install Yo-kai Watch 3 and DQVIII. Watching part of a speed run for the latter might have ruined it for me, though. Looking forward to trying Yo-kai Watch for the first time. My Vita's played regularly. I prefer handhelds at this point. I should pick my DS back up, though.

>I'm thinking of buying a Vita to read VNs on it. Is this a good idea?

You have several to choose from, so I'd say so. You even have hybrids like Utawarerumono, and they're all pretty good. Go for it.

I acquired every console from the last two generations on the used market when they got cheap, save for the DS and 3DS which I got day one.

3DS:

Best library, + you get the backlog of old DS games (the best library of that gen) if you're ok with the resolution weirdness.

PSP:

If you like RPGs, get it. There's a lot of really interesting titles that completely went under the radar on that console as well, like Tokobot.

Vita:

Like PSP but you REALLY have to want at least a couple games on that console, not just because there's a much smaller library (though there are a lot of good games on it) but you're going to have to invest a much more than you'd expect for the memory sticks. If you just want VNs, get a tablet pc or something. Personally it's my favorite handheld despite all these shortcomings.

For the hacking setup you don't actually need USB speed. Also I don't exactly mind if you use autoplugin if you know what you're doing, but I refrained from using or mentioning that in my guide because it hides essential workings of taiHEN, doesn't allow selective enabling of game plugins, and also lets you install dangerous garbage like the one that unlocks trophies (can result in PSN ban and why the fuck do you care about them) or the one that changes the boot-up screen (which you can't use if updated with update365 for example). There's enough idiots breaking their game systems thanks to ignorance, I don't want more. Jailbreaking is something you should be personally responsible for.

Who cares about that. I just care that they aren't awful box shapes that don't fit well in the hand like the 3DS.

The only meme here is Stereoscopic 3D.

Snes9x runs perfectly on my old 3DS except for SuperFX games.

Where the fuck do you faggots live, I saw people at my uni coming with 3DSes to the Uni and the reaction of everyone was to approach them curiously and ask what they're playing

I have a PSP for playing GBA/GBC games and a switch for dark souls/TBoI and smash

the only consoles I get are handheld because the portability is the only place where a console can "beat" PC.

The one time I took my Vita on the train with me, people would constantly walk up to me and try to talk me up. It was weird. People never come up and try to talk to me. Like dude, I'm obviously playing vidya here, why do you want to talk to me? Weirdos.

>why use it when you have a computer

I'm autstic and being able to adjust where my screen is when ever is great for the tism

I only have a DS Lite.

I tried the N3DS but I only have a few games that I would like to play on it and so I just gifted it to my niece with the games she likes.

The DS Lite is perfect, specially with a flashcart as it allows some emulation on it, specifically SNES.

I'm glad I chose it over a PSP, but not because of fanboyism.

It just so happens that games on the DS are relatively smaller in size than PSP games and so I can fit more games in.

As for the native games, I'm very satisfied with the DS library, and from time to time, find some 'gems' to play.

The Vita is worth it for the emulation alone.

Depends heavily on what kind of game you play. Some will last you 5 hours easily, some will suck you dry in 2-3. PSP stuff can last even longer than 5 hours too.
