Red and blue. Red looks better but I already had a flame red 3DS. The blue is ugly, I dunno why I got it. It's that ugly light blue.

Ehhh, maybe I'll wait then. The current XL colors make the system look like a cheap Chinese knock off. In pure black, it looks good though.

Yeah, not really sure why they didn't include at least one mature looking color to give it the appearance of a high tech device for an adult.

I think they might be pacing colors. Like, when sales begin to drop off, introduce a new, wanted color to induce an artificial sales spike.

Even with Pokemon, that's only one title the 3DS has that I want. Not enough to take the plunge and buy it for ONE game. Maybe 2 if I got both versions lol

Don't worry, Pokemon Z, along with Pokemon X and Y, will make you want to take the plunge!

Yeah, that's what I think they're doing. It still would have been nice if they included white along with red and blue, then added a black along with some other colors later down the line. I just think there should always be a generic color available that makes it look like a plain device aka black and white.

Oh, I agree with you. Although I do remember Reggie saying that white handhelds never sell in the US, so there would probably never be a white Nintendo handheld (outside of limited edition bundles) in USA; that said, they could have at least given us black, or hell, better colors than the horrendous shades of red and blue that they have right now, if they wanted to be cute.

No, these ones do, I've seen them. The colors that we have in the US are horrendous. I honestly wish we'd gotten some better ones. Why not a pure black? Cosmo Black XL?

You can wait for better but I think the blue one is servicable.

Aqua Blue on the original model looked great, because of the metallic tinge. Flame Red looked stunning (and was the best looking 3DS model till date); the red and blue here look like cheap toys to me.

I haven't found pokemon worth buying in 13 years, and the new trailer hasn't changed my viewpoint. It's going to take something with more luster to move the 3DS from the back burner to my shopping list.

That one is my favorite as well. I'm biased because purple is my favorite color. It just so happens to be a very nice purple.

Why are you questioning me? I can do what ever i want, Thing is i don't like kiddie games like mario etc etc, I like Core games i bought a PSP myself just because of the great games i was gonna get but it broke so VITA is a definite buy, PLUS i can play some of the PS3 exclusives that i can't on PC.

I had a Flame Red, and I agree.

It contrasts so well with the black as well. I used to wipe that thing every time I finished playing it

The Vita gets a lot more hate than it deserves, I agree; and yet by any objective measure (not counting the hardware, where the 3DS gets its ass handed to it by the Vita), the 3DS is better than the Vita right now. Faizan said he doesn't want to play kiddy games like Mario? Does he not know of the fact that the 3DS has stuff like Resident Evil, Castlevania, Metal Gear Solid, and Zero Escape?

It is literally the nicest device I have ever held in my hand. From the screen to the great multitasking, browser, YouTube, and the great games I've played so far like Uncharted and Gravity Rush. If it were sold as a gaming phone, it could easily be a lot more successful seeing as it's more rounded than a lot of smartphones I've used.

Yes, but more so because of Fire Emblem and Zero Escape than Pokemon. Just waiting for some new XL colors.

PatchMaster
Yeah, eventually but it's not for any reason of Pokemon (sorry never got into that growing up....); I'm just waiting for the new Phoenix Wright (hell I'll even play Phoenix Wright vs Professor Layton) and some better XL colors, personally. I already got a Vita, so I can easily get Zero Escape on that.

I still haven't gotten around to getting one because of playasia's high prices. Today I decided that I'm going to sell my 360, Wii, DS, various games, etc, to help afford one and various other things.

Pokemon is nice, but it isn't the reason behind me wanting one.

I still have a DSlite and DSi XL. Don't really play handhelds anymore after getting an iPhone 4 two years ago.

Yes an iPhone 4 and I love it. ;)

I may buy a 3DS (XL) if either of those crap out on me. But so far they work 110% perfectly.

I can definitely see why people prefer the 3DS over Vita, the library is pretty great, no doubt about it...but with that being said I think most people around here don't give the Vita's library enough credit. The system hasn't even been out for a year yet, and it has put up some pretty awesome games. Personally I prefer the Vita's library over 3DS, but it seems like that's not an opinion to be taken seriously around here.

It is literally the nicest device I have ever held in my hand. From the screen to the great multitasking, browser, YouTube, and the great games I've played so far like Uncharted and Gravity Rush. If it were sold as a gaming phone, it could easily be a lot more successful seeing as it's more rounded than a lot of smartphones I've used.

Agreed, it's fully featured for sure. I use the browser, Netflix, YouTube, Group Messaging, Party Chat, downloading and listening to podcasts, ect. everyday. The games are great too, so glad I got Gravity Rush with PS+, turned out to be one of my favorite games for the system.

The Vita gets a lot more hate than it deserves, I agree; and yet by any objective measure (not counting the hardware, where the 3DS gets its ass handed to it by the Vita), the 3DS is better than the Vita right now. Faizan said he doesn't want to play kiddy games like Mario? Does he not know of the fact that the 3DS has stuff like Resident Evil, Castlevania, Metal Gear Solid, and Zero Escape?

I can definitely see why people prefer the 3DS over Vita, the library is pretty great, no doubt about it...but with that being said I think most people around here don't give the Vita's library enough credit. The system hasn't even been out for a year yet, and it has put up some pretty awesome games. Personally I prefer the Vita's library over 3DS, but it seems like that's not an opinion to be taken seriously around here.

The Vita has a great library, and people who say 'it has no games!!!!' are the same people who slag off on the Xbox 360 for having no games. Such a statement is patently false. Right now, the Vita has nearly a round dozen games I want to play. The only reason I have not purchased it yet is because of my shortage of funds. But it is an excellent handheld, with great hardware, and a nice library, that even if (in my opinion) is not better than the 3DS's library, is great enough on its own merits. Having said that, this is System Wars. People here will continue to insist that the 3DS is kiddy and has nothing for the hardcore gamer, and they will continue to insist that the Vita has no games period, even in the face of evidence that flies in the face of such misconceptions.

Netflix on Vita is crazy good too. Vita is a badass handheld, it gets way too much hate.

I watch Netflix on it just about every night before I go sleep. Shows and movies look so good on that OLED :P

Wii U gamepad can do all of these things better, plus you have the stylus so the screen never gets crapped like the typical capacitive touch screen. I hate having to clean my got damn galaxy II every day for fingerprints.

It's also connected to the TV and you don't even need a TV remote for the basic inputs like changing channels / adjusting volume / turning TV on&off. I can also for example put up a funny youtube video when company is over on the big screen while browsing the net on the gamepad itself.

Well it depends on what "no games" means, if it means no games interesting games that varies from person to person. If your talking about review scores than that, like many systems is untrue.

Sad but true.

I really hate that "no games" comment, for any system. I'd suggest waiting out on a Vita anyways, considering you've got plenty to play on the 3DS coming up, and if my memory serves me right, the fact that Sony said a price cut will be coming sometime in 2013. I'd also recommend being a PS+ member if you are getting a Vita, lots of good games day 1 if you are.

Don't worry, I'm waiting till after E3 at any rate, that's when I expect they would announce a price cut :P I don't have PS+, but I might subscribe since Vita members get so many benefits.

How do you know the Vita's library is worse than the 3DS library without playing any Vita games?
