Super Mario Bros Nintendo DS

Nintendo seemed untouchable in the handheld market, but even fans were a little confused when we first saw the DS.

The best PS Vita games of all time
PSP

Even when pitted against the best 3DS games, the Vita's impressive library was way ahead of its time.

There is a lot of crossover between the best PS3 games, best PS4 games, and Vita games since many were cross-platform titles. Still, the Vita had plenty of amazing exclusives to call its own. Even some multiplatform games felt more at home on the handheld. Despite an untimely death, the Vita had some of the best games of all time on it, so let's celebrate the life of the Vita by looking at just some of those games.
