Modded 3DS vs Modded PS Vita - Which One is Better? 

Do you prefer the 3DS or Vita?

Both these consoles are so goddamn great and still hold up to this day. Don't get me wrong, the Switch and Steam Deck are cool but I prefer having handhelds that can actually fit in your pocket.

Took me awhile to realize how great of a system 3DS was. I was a Sony fanboy forever…

Great video. I just modded my n3DS yesterday. Brought new life into my system. Now my backlog is endless LOL

the real selling points here are the exclusive emulators. vita has the commodores and sega saturn, but the 3ds has n64 and the authentic ds mode and actual 3d virtual boy that doesn't kill your eyes

For me, with the amount of ports the Vita has received and will continue, I think it takes the cake. Though the 3DS has SMT4 so theres that

Mostly interested in getting a Vita to play Monster Hunter Frontier private servers. Because I miss 4U online on the 3DS and pretendo doesn't support it yet.

Great video bro !! Really having a hard time choosing one 😅

Personally, I’d choose Vita everyday of the week since I’ve always preferred Playstation’s games more. It would be cool to get a 3DS someday. This year might be the year I finally mod one of my handhelds haha. Sick video as always and last night’s game sesh was fun man!

I want both. I have to get em

Toughest call, they don’t have a lot of overlapping content, so ideally both would be good. They just have different kind of games, so I think it all comes down to what type of games you like to play.

The fact that jak and daxter doesn't run very well but the other collections do is just insane to me I mean how hard is it for that but it can run the metal gear solid collection really well

The 3ds is the better value since 99 percent of the Vitas library has enhanced editions of most games with additional content on PC, switch, ps4/5. I wish I didnt give my 3ds away. I am enjoying the small amount of games the vita has those thanks to pkjg especially the musou ones.

I’m Team Both! I have a Vita oled and a New 2DS XL. They’re both awesome for different reasons. Vita: Power, more homebrew variety, better screen 3DS: Better 1st party, clamshell design. Many more benefits to both but too much to type lol

I've had both since 2012 and I loved my time with them. There are times when I'd play my Vita more and other times my 3DS and vice versa. The one thing I've always loved about the Vita was its display. I also wished the Vita had gotten more support and more games. I was more annoyed that the Vita got a lot of the same games as the 3DS instead of the console versions as often times these games didn't push the Vita at all. Although some games were just flat out better on the Vita like Sonic and All Stars Racing Transformed. I had that game on Vita and Wii U and I always gravitated to the Vita version because it's visual compromises weren't that bad compared to the Wii U and the game ran well. The 3DS version was not good as I tried it via the eShop Demo

Dont forget vita can remote play ps3 & ps4 games as well.

I’m definitely team both, such great systems the both of them and super unique. You’ll struggle to have the same experience on any emulator 🔥

In my opinion I plan on going with a 3ds just because the emulation process for the ds+3ds library just don't play well on pc, not so much performance wise but more so the whole dual screen/clam shell design.

Where did you got that PS Vita display stand?

Personally, I would argue that the libraries are about as large and good as one another's, it's just that the Vita has no marketing in the West so people keep thinking under of had no games.

I had a PS Vita from back in the day before Sony killed it and also recently modded it, never had a 3ds XL, but man does it look like a monster also when modded.

I can't pick whichever one is better since both are great handhelds that offer forms of gameplay the other simply lacks. 3DS has 3D, dual screens and a pretty robust library. Vita has really crisp graphics, touch screen and pad, and while having a modest library of games, the majority of those can be compared to console titles. I have both and have sank hundreds of hours into both and will continue to do so. I might look into Pretendo at some point and I hope after Sony shuts down online for the Vita, we get a Pretendo for the Vita. Just my two cents.

I bought a Vita 1000 model for cheaper than any clamshell 3ds. Replacing the battery was easy, buying a cheap grip was worth it, retroarch runs well, overclocking is a plus, honestly adrenaline has way too many bugs, best of all is getting to play a tony hawk game on the go. When I had a 3ds I never got the chance to mod it and regret it. I choose the vita since I own it, bad answer, but that's just how it is I appreciate all the porters and modder for it

have both. Need to find my other 3ds though

Can u still play online on modded vita?

Pkgj is our savior 🙌🏽

I have both in my drawer

Ah yes, the SNES classic game: Megaman X-man

New 3DS XL is the best Handheld of all times

Both these consoles are great, but you can’t really compare them. In my eyes you can never compare Nintendo with the other gaming companies, since they are so exclusive. If you like Nintendo games, get a modded 3DS. If you like PSP games, get the PS Vita. But if you have a switch and want to play several Ds ports without paying the whole price, get a 3DS and mod it. Would be cheaper than to get 4 or 5 of these ported games. And you can play the good Pokemon games

I just bought both

I prefer the vita it is great for video playback .

I had both of these handhelds modded and honestly the vita is just way better. The 3ds just falls short when it comes to raw power, and it feels like a incomplete console. Where is the second analogue stick Nintendo? While the vita just feels premium, with two analogue sticks, oled screen and 3 times the power of the 3ds. The vita definitely falls short when it comes to the vita games libraries, but you can play android ports, and emulate a ton of other consoles.

If i have to pick 3ds or vita to go outside i think psvita has better choice psvita for me❤

The 3ds doesn't even need a pc to mod. I do most modding through my phone.

Vita wins automatically simply because it can play the ratchet and clank and sly cooper trilogies, which makes it absolutely perfect for me

I lean to Vita for the library, but I also think Retroarch runs so much better on it. The 3DS for me is really only for when I am wanting to playing a DS game.

PS vita emulate GBA and older system prefer playing GBA on the vita but some snes game dont work well. the screen is better and the battery as well can stay in sleep mode for more then month still have battery compare to 3ds max 4 days, and there repatch games so can play japanese only title whit sub, The vita is JRPG machine and indie , both are good and it the only way play them on the original hardware. my choice is the ps vita but it very close ! And the overall feel to play , joystick and D pad are so much better but you dont have the clamshell protection

I have both and 3ds it's better, if you can get one, get the new model. 3d it's not a gimmick. For portability, are better, don't have to worry about breaking analogues or screaching something. About Vita, it's like has 4 God games, the rest it's meh, or ports, but hasn't original games, and emulators are meh either. But it's the best to wear everygame. And one of the most important things, you have repairs parts for 3ds everywhere, good luck trying to repair your Vita. Good video.

3DS all the way. You can put Vita games on anything and get the same relative experience if the platform is powerful enough. Not so much with 3DS.

Vita is cheaper and more powerful

vita all the way for me . 🐐

Steam Deck

3ds has 240p. Nuff said.
