>>3781690False. SMT IV and especially IV: Apocalypse are fantastic and worth playing even on handheld. Worst case you just emulate it though, if you have two screens and split them both with full screens for each it's awesome. I think you can do that, anyway - not positive, I never tried, but I can't see why it wouldn't be possible.
I own both on my 3DS and love them. Only thing that sucks is they got rid of DLC content, can't access the store now, so if I ever start a new file I can't use my extras, and they were nice. Lots of extra missions and the ability to level faster was nice for end-game.
