Name 5 must-play titles you NEED a Vita forIt had absolutely nothing left for it the moment P4G and Next 0rder got ported.
the only playable vita games were ports
Port machine
>>725485409>mogged by the Vita TV, which you could buy for like twenty bucks.
>>725485621Soul Sacrifice
Girls played otome games on it.
>>725485764The Vita TV was only that cheap because it was so unpopular that stores had to give them away for as close to free as possible just to get rid of stock
>>725485409just dug my vita out of the cabinetplan to play some kino on it
It’s weird how pretty much the whole library has been dispersed to different platforms. Now the Re;Birth games are all on Switch and PS4. They had been on Steam for a long time, but were still Vita exclusives until recently. It’s like Sony’s Wii U, where mismanagement killed the system, but the games were still valuable enough to salvage from the wreckage. I think it also played a large part in popularizing Persona and Danganronpa through word of mouth.

>DT2 stuck in Johren hellI guess I'll buy it on DMM and pirate the English versionAlso, has anyone homebrew'd an alternative to Moonlight? I no longer use Nvidia but reading VN on Vita is max comfy
the only japanese games worth playing are Patapon games, and even that was only on Vita's cooler brother
>>725485409The Vita is my favorite PSP and PS1 machine.I couldn't name a Vita game to save my life. Not true, I can name Persona 4 Golden, but that's probably it.
If your a weeb faggot like me the vita was the best handheld ever made>can play persona 1-4>all the nepnep games>all the atelier games>most of the vanillaware games>best way to play metal gear solid>you can play all the old final fantasy games >play the old psp monster hunter games and freedom wars>tons of visual novels muv luv danganIt’s definitely worth the price I put so many hours into my vita
>>725485621muramasa + it's DLCswhatever uncharted is on itLBP vitagravity rushtearaway>b-but some were ported!!not the same without the back touchpad
>>725485409I played this shit over ten years ago
>>725485409Vita kusoge is beneath even mobage. It's a filter alright.
>>725485409They had the best hardware on the market but they fucked it up.
>>725485764>can't play 60% of the library without custom firmware
Imagine how many vita fans committed suicide when Persona 4 Golden's PC port was announced
>>725487374There are still plenty of games stuck on the Vita, often JP-only as well, that due to their content will likely never see a rerelease because modern platforms would block them without exception. Even Compile Heart still effectively has Tokyo Clanpool locked to the platform because the modern rerelease couldn't release unbutchered anywhere.
Just finished pic related, it's pretty decent. It's kind of making me want to go back and replay the PS3 Killzone games
>>725485409>niche japanese library for based gamers onlytranny*FTFY
>>725485621>Name 5 must-play titles you NEED a Vita forI mean there's a functioning Vita emulator at this point, so nothing really. The console itself is still a great form factor to play a bunch of games though, it's actually kind of uncanny how well it holds up compared to modern handhelds considering it's 15 fucking years old
>>725488883Not a con in 2025. Nobody is seeking out Vita Exclusive SD cards now, I bet you nearly every active Vita user uses CFW.
>>725485621I mean, a lot of the good shit like Wipeout 2048 and Gravity Rush got superior ports to PS4, but back in the day it had quite a few good exclusives.
I just realized that I can buy a hacked vita for $150 in marketplace with all vita games unlocked in there and play the entire vita slop for the rest of my life without ever looking towards stupid nu vidyaslop ever again
>>725491064that's a good deal, the prices are way higher near me
>>725485409Industry faggots still seethe about it to this day. So much so that they've made sure to lock down every modern platform so nothing like the Vita and its library could ever happen again. The reign of Japanese ecchi games shamelessly appealing to the male gaze traumatized them to the point it keeps them up at night. The Vita may as well be the last gasp of gaming as a male hobby (otaku hobby in Japan).
>>725485409i somehow convinced two normalfags in high school into getting one. one really enjoyed persona 4 golden on it. the other fucking hated gravity rush.
>>725485409it's almost comical how hard it flopped
>>725491064>buy a hacked vitadoesn't really matter if it's hacked or not, the whole process is done from the device itself and takes a little under 10 minutes, most of which is just waiting for installations
>>725485409I'm just seeing this when I read your post.
>>725491410It sold approximately 4.5 times the Steam Deck's lifetime sales. It was definitely a flop but not to an absurd level
>>725491742>It sold 4.5 times the console produced in low quantities and only sold on one digital storefront primarily used by people who wouldn't need itThis is not an achievement and you know it. The Vita only sold "10-15 million". That is ORDERS of magnitudes below EVERY Playstation console. The next lowest one was the PSP with ">80 Million", and three of the home consoles sold over a hundred million units.The Vita IS a comical failure. It IS absurd.
Fake gamer:>Ugh the psp/ps3/vita has no games! Where's all the popular slop like Halo and Mario? I can't get any gamer cred by showing this off to my friends. True gamer:>Wow the psp/ps3/vita has so many obscure titles. I can't wait to see what niche shit I discover.
>>725485409>gets filtered by the 3DS>flops
I really can't think of a good reason to buy one nowadays. I got mine a while back purely to weeb out with stuff like dungeon travelers and demon gaze, but even that's available elsewhere now. Sony fucked up so hard compared to the psp.
Isn't this that face from Paraphore
>>725492572>That is ORDERS of magnitudes below EVERY Playstation consoleIt's actually just one order of magnitude below the PS1, PS2 and PS4. It's the same order of magnitude as the PSP, PS3 and PS5
why are vitas so fucking expensive on the 2nd hand market?
>>725493691I too love having deranged headcanons anon.
Vita failed because it didn't get monster hunter
>>725493892I don't think you know what an order of magnitude is
>>725493957It's when a fast food place has to close because you ate everything
>>725493509>I really can't think of a good reason to buy one nowadays.The Vita still has many games that never left the platform, and never will because their content is too risque and heterosexual for gay modern platforms. If you want to weeb out, there is still nothing better and never will be because everything the Vita represents is banned in the modern industry.
>>725493746Because like with 3DS, the sellers are now aware of the modding potential
>>725493746it didnt sell very well in north america or europe so theres less units to go around there. yahoo auctions has cheap japanese vitas and vita is region free.
shit console flopped
>>725493746Because they aren't making any more of them
>>725485621Soul SacrificeGravity RushDragon's CrownMuramasa RebirthToukiden
>>725493926Great system BUT real consoles beat handhelds. I’m glad Sony chose to focus on actual cutting edge games, not baby sleepy tablet shit like Nintendo.
>>725493746Barely any of them and the hardware is fragile, so there's even less than what was produced. Mix in the fact that there's an OLED and a Slim model, and you have a recipe for overpriced consoles.No reason to buy a Vita though, unless you really want to play worse versions of a couple games.
>>725494186nintendo was briefly scared by it when they undercut the 3ds price from $250 to $180
>>725485621The same can be said of pretty much every modern platform. Nintendo's the only one still doing exclusives.>>725492572It was a failure, but its software library kind of ensured it would be. It did not have much in the way of normie or even mainstream gamer bait. Go look up the best selling PSP games and see how many of them had a notable release on Vita. Grand Theft Auto? Monster Hunter? Final Fantasy? Gran Turismo? The only one that wasn't basically completely MIA was Final Fantasy and those were all multi-platform releases.It was released at a bad time. Early 2010s was the height of the "mobile gaming will kill console games" hysteria (remember when every big game had a useless second screen mobile app?), which trickled down to the industry. It was powerful for its product category and time, but not powerful enough to make multiplatform development super easy. Sony coming up with an expensive proprietary memory card format as revenge for PSP piracy obviously didn't hurt. But worst of all was that Sony didn't care because it wasn't something they invested a lot of money in creating. It wasn't like the PS3 where they needed to salvage something. The U.S. division actually stopped all mainstream marketing of the platform after its first year. It could be worse. It's obvious they attempted to replace the handheld part of their business with VR and that's ... lol.
I don't like super small face buttons and mushy shoulder buttons.Also its a big ask for the average gamer to buy "Vita Bangers" like Valkyrie Drive and Criminal Girls.
>>725493746because 1. most kids destroyed them because they were made of paper and glass and 2. tremendous modding potentialoutside of jp they're hard to find at reasonable prices. sure you can find units for cheap everywhere but they're fucking wrecked and touched by kids after shoving their fingers up the ass
>>725493746Most of the ones you can get on ebay are Japanese bulk imports that are modded.

>>725485409I had one at release but I sold it after a year because there was no games
>>725493926Nintendo apparently paid Capcom just $6 million for timed exclusivity of Monster Hunter Rise. If they paid anything close to that to bring it to 3DS, Sony were beyond retarded in not spending that money. It's not like Soul Sacrifice or Freedom Wars were some big movers.Which is actually a good reflection of how the hardware was letdown by its software library. Other than Hot Shots Golf, I'm pretty sure every Sony made Vita exclusive that got ported elsewhere flopped. Tearaway, Gravity Rush, Freedom Wars, etc. It was less the hardware's install base holding those games back as much as it was just a lack of appeal.>>725491340lmao, I remember that clown from Siliconera. This shit brought up some of the complete insanity from that era. Was it Destructoid or another blog that published an article stating they'd rather Atlus USA publish more games like Attack on Titan 3DS (complete shovelware) than Dungeon Travelers 2 on Vita? Absolute mental illness.
i love my vita
>>725487247I'm gonna start a new game of shovel knight which I've never played and then swap back and forthe from my vita to my ps4 like a FUCKING boss
>>725485409>filters people who want actual good games
>>725494339>Soul Sacrificeman i REALLY couldn't get into this game. i wanted to so bad
>>725485409no games per snoy tradition
We need to thank the Vita since it gave us Gnosia and now we have the Gnosia anime that is adaptation of the year.
>>725485621>Name 5 must-play titles you NEED a Vita forBy that logic the Switch is obsolete as well.
