today everybody plays video games whether it's on our iPhones our Android tablets or our thingamajigs but there's one problem we all like to play because we go to the App Store you download something for free and they click and we click when we click and then one day we die but why why suffer why not just play the best things on the best devices today I'm gonna help you find so what do I want from a gaming device it should have a great screen it should have long lasting battery life it should control well I can actually feels like I'm playing the game and it should have a tremendous catalog of games none of these do all of those things precisely but one of them does it best and that's the PlayStation Vita the Vita has 3 to 5 hours of battery life 3 years into my ownership of a Vita I'm still hitting the high end of that estimate it has a number of inputs to thumbsticks multiple face buttons buttons on the top rear and front touch interfaces it controls like a console but it also has console quality video games the PlayStation Network has a variety of games to download some of them exclusive to Vita but also games from Playstation one two three and now for the Vitas exclusive catalog is limited to say the least Sony hasn't announced any big triple-a style games in recent memory but the company has partnered with a number of indie game studios bringing some of the best indie games from the PC to the PlayStation Vita there's also this great integration with Sony's consoles in fact the Sony's cross by program if you've already purchased certain indie games on one of those home consoles they'll appear for free on your PlayStation Vita Remote Play allows you to play games that are in your home on your console on your portable device so if you're sitting on the couch or in bed you can play Far Cry 4 from 15 now I'm gonna be honest with you I don't entirely know what the future is for the PlayStation Vita and I'm not entirely convinced Sony does either they did recently update the device to the PlayStation Vita slim which has not as nice of a screen but better battery life and a better charger that said the PlayStation Vita is the best option available with its screen battery life and incredible catalog of games of course there is somebody right on its tail the Nintendo 3ds Nintendo clearly plans to overtake the PlayStation Vita which is admittedly a silly thing to say considering it has far better sales like the PlayStation Vita Nintendo 3ds offers the improved console light controls it has a catalog of new and retro games and it just feels enjoyable to use but most of the games are going to play star Mario Donkey Kong and Zelda which is great if those are the only games you want to play on top of that Nintendo keeps fracturing which device you should be using between the two DS the normal 3ds the 3ds XL and the new 3ds which isn't even out yet at this point the best option is to wait if you want to play games on iOS or Android the best option is a tablet and of all the tablets the two best options are the iPad Mini and the Nexus 9 now they both have similar let's say Goods and Bad's goods Bing you can download lots of great games for very little money and the bads being most of those games are utter garbage to find the good games you're gonna have to dig through a mountain of and you're still going to have to do with touch controls which still aren't quite at the level of traditional analog stick and face buttons sure they have great battery life they have beautiful screens but the experience of playing games on tablets just isn't at the level of playing on say a Nintendo 3ds for a PlayStation video and that's why I recommend those two systems specifically the Vita because the Vita feels like what the future of mobile gaming can and should be I don't know what portable video games will look like 10 years from now but my hope is it looks something like the forward facing PlayStation Vita sure Sony doesn't quite show the love it deserves that doesn't mean that we can
