new nintendo 3ds xl or high end smartphone ?

[funboy1 the cake is a lie]

Hello, today i made a i made a decision to buy a new 3ds xl i had a tough time to choose between the wii u and the new 3ds xl. But with the nx on his way ill think i gonne have a good time on the 3ds with the third party games etc. Wii u is dead alot of people told me.

But now is it still worth to get a new 3ds xl is that handheld still alive or did the mobile/smarthpone gaming destroyed it complety because thats all that you see on google when you type 3ds xl ?

I love things that are still higly supported and alive i will never play someting that is dead thats me. And i dont know alot about handhelds.

Is it still better to play on a handheld or can you play better games on a smartphone ?

thanks all !

Smartphone gaming is awful. I've never played a game on my phone that held my attention for more than a week. At least 3DS is actually made for gaming/has real game devs involved.

Let's make this simple, buy the New 3DS XL if you want to game.

Yeah, this. Besides, the 3DS has good games regardless.

Tablets/higher end phones are more powerful than the 3DS, and have substantially better graphics (or the potential for it), however, the 3DS has the better games. Plenty of franchises. Depending on what you want to play, the Vita is arguably a better compromise (has console-style games, good graphics), but Sony totally dropped the ball on it. Still, especially with import games it has a good library.

I really wouldn't be concerned about what's "dead". Just look at what games are available already and which system has more games that you think you'd play. Multiplayer is barely existent on handhelds, so current popularity is kind of irrelevant, I feel.

As for the phone: I wouldn't get one primarily for gaming (and if so, then iOS is where it's at), but if you would also use it for a lot of other things, including productivity stuff), it might be the overall more sensible approach. Still, phones age quickly, handhelds don't.
