I love RPGs, but I never felt I could get into them as well on handhelds. Something between the posture while I'm sitting, smaller screen, worse graphics, inferior controls and the likes never let me feel an epic title was as epic as it could have been. Sure stuff like TWEWY is perfect for a handheld, but it was more art based than technical. I just can't stand playing even a great handheld RPG for more than 2 hours before either my hands hurt from holding the system or my neck from looking down, console RPGs I could put 6 or 7 hours into.
Now, I know that obviously the 3DS is capable of better graphics than past-gens, Vita as well, and the Vita is closer to a PS3 controller than ever, plus I bought a pretty sweet set of handles for it, so I'm looking forward to handheld gaming this gen more, since now both handhelds have analog(s), pretty good graphics and the likes.
I would be even more excited for this if we got one god damn console RPG from Atlus this whole gen.
My man.
