can 3ds even compete with vita in first person shooters?

Can 3ds even compete with vita in first person shooters? I dont know how you can play a first person shooter without two analog sticks. Vita has two analog sticks. So you can play a fps in the traditional way it is played on a controller.

Nintendo ds had only 1 or two first person shooter games. Because it didnt two analog sticks. I dont see how having just one analog helps at all on the 3ds. So I dont expect any fps's on 3ds.

Its going to be so cool to play Call of Duty online and like you do on a console on the vita.

You can use the touchscreen with the pen to aim with... btw this dont mean i like it.

Npoe it cant. But does it have to? No. Why anyone wants handheld FPS games that are always best at home online with friends on the consolesis far beyond me.

Can't say it matters much to me. FPS are really one of those franchises that always feel awkward for me on a handheld. I can't imagine the dual analogue will change that either.Jynxzor

Once again fanboys are putting so much emphasis on a feature that was added years ago.

Use your head. I said Online with friends. Platformers,Puzzle games, and RPGs are all great on handhelds. They do not rely on online play and are amazing on handhelds.Just think where did all the RPGs go this generation? The Ds and Psp. FPS as you can see from most people on this post are just not a handheld priority.

Well its going to be a new market for a handheld to get into. I thinks its a case of "if you build it, they will come".

For my own sake, I hope it discourages FPS games on the 3DS. But I know that won't happen. And it probably shouldn't since many unfortunatey do like FPS games. The PSP and DS both had first person shooters, so yeah, the 3DS probably will too, especially since it's powerful enough to provide a console level FPS experience.

Nintendo DS: Dementium.

Go check it out. It plays excellent with a touch pad or face-buttons.

This once again raises the same point though. If shooters are a potential market on Sony's handheld then both are going for a different audience.

You know it is always good to have a big variety of games on a platform to fit a bigger consumer base

Thats true. More people may see the beauty of handhelds.

But I think TC should wait and see before blowing the trumpet. There is a lot of time between now and March and something is bound to come up. No system launches without some sort of problem.

its awesome that it cant, fps fans should look to the psvita and 3ds will avoid a huge bullet in the online community :)

FPS would be very awkward on a handheld, regardless of how many analog sticks it has. I don't think it matters.C_Rule

Kinda same way PC gamers say about console gamers regarding FPS-gaming :lol:

I don't think it will, but i can't say i crave for shooters when on a handheld.

Can Vita compete with pokemon,mario,zelda?QQabitmoar

Yes, give me Monster Hunter

I say they go hand in hand. I also have no craving to play a shooter on a handheld but it's mainly because they're just too awkward without the second analog stick.

what if pokemon comes to ps vita too? ;):P

i game on hand helds to get away from all the fps games so i don't care

Do I care about FPSs on handhelds? ... No.

Neither do i, not even outside the handheld market (save for a very few exceptions) but that didn't stop MS from selling millions of consoles based on it's online and Halo...

We might not care but it seems the biggest pie of the consumer chart does, and if Sony plays their cards right they might sell because of that. It pains me to admit that the handheld market might won by shooters in the future but that's what the tendencies indicate.

I just hope they still continue to gives us tatics and rpgs games....

The touchscreen aiming the DS does with FPSs is actually my favorite control sceme for them.

I believe it can compete.

Third person shooters are an entirely different matter though.

Yeah i played that Metroid game for DS, it was very easy to aim. The bad thing it is not easy to play more than like 30min with it because you get very tired in your hands. Specially left hand that hold DS by itself while you play around with the DS pen.

Man I love MP:H. SP was underwhelming (though I did enjoy it) but the mp was oh so solid. I over came the cramps pretty fast as well.

The game actually was quite well done. I really liked it. I'd love love love a second attempt with 8 player mp and more customizable modes online. The alt forms really helped make the gameplay more unique then most FPS games I have played and I love the stylus aiming. Samus, Trace and Noxus, those were the guys haha

Yeah i think the game was great but that didn't help me much when i had problems with the controls. Wish i could play it :/

The touchscreen is faster and more precise than the dual analogs. The only complaint in the touch screen is that it makes your hands crampy over time.

Are people really that low to milking the FPS genre that they would put it on a handheld!?:|
