Pretty. It's in between PS2 and Xbox and way behind PSP Vita.
Looks nice! I haven't played on handhelds much (I only have NinDS Lite with GTA Chinatown Wars, New Super Mario Bros and Bomberman), so I can't say much how it compares to other handhelds. It sounds new to me, that the engine code is done in Assembly. Isn't that kind of really low-level programming language?
Assembly is about the lowest level programming you can go.
...but are the games worth playing? I think the main reason I haven't gotten another handheld since my original DS bought back in 2007 is because the games aren't really worth playing for the most part. I think the GBA was the pinnacle of games, if only because of the release of Warioland 3 (coincidentally also the best handheld game ever).
EDIT: My bad, Warioland 3 first came out on Game Boy Color. I retract my statement with the GBA.
totally agree! in fact, the biggest use of my PSP was playing GBA emulator and searching for hidden gems 
and so i think PSP (probably vita) games not that cool to play on a portable device. The play sessions usually are too long, IMO.
GBA was a cool system with amazing games. Yet today i play a some GBA games on my DS Lite.
the 3ds is a great system too. Im playing a lot lately. there's good games for the system
Quote from ThurnipYeah, maybe is behind vita... but i think nintendo usually chooses a good balance between graphics, battery and gameplay.
I have an PSP and the battery is way behind Nintendo DS and even 3DS.
Vita's battery is short too, i've heard.
Unfortunately, imo, sony didn't catch how to make a good hand held experience.
Vita isn't so bad. I havent noticed any different between it and my DS's. They both average around 4-6 hours.
I can imagine the PSP is bad though because it has a physical disk drive.

That's a good point about the session length of the game. I think that's currently a big issue for the Vita. With it's quick suspend/unsuspend it would be great to have a bunch of arcade classic I can play in 5 min spans between daily affairs. I'm working on a game right now for the vita to try to satisfy that urge a little bit actually. Although I think I'm using a graphics feature that wont work on vita currently.
