Yeah, because you can totally find a game like Vain Glory on a 3DS.

A real handheld? I will buy an iPhone, thanks. The 3DS is severely underpowered compared to any other gaming handheld (ex: PS Vita).

The ONLY thing it has going for it is Nintendo's generally excellent first party games. That being said, Pokémon is pretty bad. It lags with 3D on, which is a disappointment because you can see the game was clearly rushed. Games like Zelda ALBW don't have this issue and they are full 3D.

Third party games for the 3DS are absolutely terrible. On the iPhone, this is not the case. No one buys a 3DS for third-party games. And that's why games like Vain Glory, Monument Valley, Clumsy Ninja, GTA:SA (yes it's a port) etc...will always outshine most 3DS games that aren't the classic Mario/Zelda/AC/Pokémon, etc.

iphone will never have anything like smash bros or Fire Emblem either. A dedicated handheld will always be better for real gaming. Of course the 3DS isn't as powerful as a current iphone, seeing as it came out before the iphone 4S.
 
Is it bad that I actually chuckled with the second one? I just wish that Continuity would actually work as advertised, but sadly it still has a ton of bugs.
Obviously can't speak for everyone, but it's been working just dandy for me. Phone gets a call and it rings from iPad and computer if computer is open. Haven't had a single buggy issue with it yet.
 
Real gamers will never say that because it simply isn't true.
The 3DS has much better games that last longer and are much more fun, and real buttons are the way games are meant to be played. Smartphone games are nothing but a stupid mindless distraction and cannot make up for real games.
I own 460+ games, and not one of them is a smartphone or tablet game, nor will I ever play games on a device that is not conducive to real gaming. I refuse to cheat myself out of a full experience. People that play GTA 3 on their phone sicken me. Buy a real handheld.


I seem to have started an argument. I have no problem with other handhelds or consoles i just prefer the often much more creative games that come to the iphone.

As for the stupid mindless distraction thats what a game should be a way to get away from the world for a little bit.
