Isn't there already a thread for this iOS discussion? This forum has derailed from its original purpose of recommending a device.

Why are you so obsessed that this thread goes exactly the way you want it to?

@DarkKnight - I've posted twice. I wouldn't call that obsessed. I know that this thread was created for the purpose of asking for a recommendation, not for debating iOS vs 3DS. I would be annoyed if my thread had deviated from its original intention. Not to mention that there is already a thread for this very topic. No need turning this one into a double is there?

The animations are stiff and the special effects and menus have that distinctive "mobile" feel to them, which drives me absolutely mad.

Oh well, that's a gap that will be filled eventually. iOS isn't going away any time soon.

Have you seen the game that American McGee's studio are working on? Can't remember the name off the top of my head, but it's based on Little Red Riding Hood (in the sense that Alice Madness Returns is based on Alice in Wonderland), and it looks dynamite.

Eurocom's new team of 50 mobile developers is interesting too. Most development studios (including the guys that made Horn) are very small in size. 50 is quite large. As mobile development teams get bigger you'll see better action/ adventure games come through I think.

Oh I know they will eventually, I'm just saying the current absence is irritating given the enormous potential.

Agreed.

It'll be all ok once Baldur's Gate hits the iOS though. I'm set for life then :3

@turtlelink One of the rare times visiting Kotaku has been a worthwhile experience. The pleasure was mine.

Haha. You guys are funny... anyways, what I'm trying to say is, I'd rather have a PC/Mac OS over iOS/Android anyday. My final OPINION of what you should buy, is either a Microsoft Surface w/ Windows 8 Pro(which comes out next year I think, so just wait for that), or a 3DS for Luigi's Mansion 2, tons of Pokemon games, Colors 3D or Art Studio(Art Studios better I think), and all the back catalogs for most GB games if that is what you want, too. Or get a Wii U if you don't have one. Haha. They have tons where I live...

Be honest now, do you honestly think you're making a big impact when you try to argue for those "moderate" people? This site is called NintendoLife. You're obviously going to be run over by Nintendo fans here. Then there are the trolls who make posts similar to more hyperbolic versions of what yours sound like to the fans, which is going to draw some negative comparisons. And THEN there are the moderate people, most of which likely already have a smartphone or tablet due to the diverse gaming selection these people have.

On top of that, why do you word your arguments with words like "embarrassment" and make frequent jokes about inferiority to Apple? Angering the raging fanboys accomplishes nothing, and I think a less negative sounding comment wouldn't really make a difference to anyone reading it.

You'd be surprised what impact an extended debate can have on people.

It's like how people like to pretend that advertising doesn't affect them. Because they don't understand that people operate on both conscious and unconscious levels (people often call that level the "subconscious" level, but that's actually the incorrect term as far as psychology goes).

I've worked in the media enough that I'm well aware of the effect my comments have.

@Waltz - I'm sorry about responding to you sarcastically earlier. I should have just pointed out what I thought without getting snippy. No hard feelings, eh? :)
@OP - I personally would go with a 3DS. It is a lot of fun, and I have truly enjoyed it. I can't say anything about an iPad because I do not own one. Anyways, I hope this helps. :)

Again, not trying to be too down on the 3DS here. If you love Nintendo games, this is really the handheld for you.

Ya. Having a tablet with a PC/Mac OS would be alot better than what tablets have become known for. Mtn. Lion on iPad would get all the rich and selfish slobs to resell their current one for more than it's worth anymore. Poor rich people... I see people selling year old Macbooks for $200 less than new versions that came out less than a month ago. What kind of BS is that. I'm pissed.

And that's what happens when you buy overpriced Apple products.

I hate Android too. Google needs to just make a GPCuPadiMacefWin computer, and have it run a better OS. IDK...
