[CJL18]

I have 2 3ds one off gateway and one with the latest 3ds firmware I thought about trading it towards a vita is vita good?

Vita is full of VNs and JRPGs. If you like those games then go for it.

PS+ is only $50 a year if you can afford the one year membership in one shot. Otherwise, yeah, the $72 isn't a bad deal either for just picking up a three month card four times a year.

Anyways, OP, I'd say go for it. You already have a 3DS that can do everything you may want a 3DS to do via tools such as Gateway, no matter how questionable they may be at times. As was already mentioned, the Vita is great for visual novels (VLR, Danganronpa, etc.), and it's amazing for RPGs, especially considering your access to PSP and PS1 games as well via PSN. It has some solid action/adventure games (Gravity Rush and Uncharted, for example), and what is easily the best platformers of the past couple of years (Rayman Origins/Legends) run fantastically on the system. Although I've already mentioned a couple, the system has some great exclusives already, and although it has a lot of ports, nearly all of them are top notch and a lot of fun on the Vita.

All in all, I'd call the Vita a better value than the 3DS based on what you get and what you can do. Although it isn't the machine for everybody, it has quite a number of things that can appeal to the majority easily if they stop and take a look. I'd say that there's a good chance that you would be rather happy with a Vita in hand.

Every time one of these threads pops up, I wonder why they exist.

Look at what games are available, that's the entire reason you are going to be buying the system.
Then follow this simple system:

Does it have games you like?
If yes: buy it
If no: don't buy it

it's difficult but read it over a few times and you'll get it i'm sure.

get rid of the second 3ds, you can use emunand on gateway so you wont lose out on anything

Just a warning, you have to meet a certain level of coolness before you can purchase the system. I recommend showing up with your best leather jacket and sunglasses, and a motorcycle would definitely be a plus.

Yes, we don't just accept anyone into the cool club, hence the low sales figures. You have to meet certain standards, son.
