no games

No real support but hey that’s LIFE!

>Uncharted on launch
>Still failed

Nothing went wrong. It's the perfect device for my lewd needs.

Can you you play one in public?

>oled screen
>almost exclusively anime games
>able to stream PC games to it
>new freeshop-like application for thousands of free games directly from sony
>native psp + ps1 emulator and tons of older console emulators
It is still the best handheld available

I do

>almost exclusively anime games
Thats a con, right?

No

jew memory cards

What was its gimmick again?

This is an issue. They easily could have let you use standard SD cards in it, but they had to go full jew.

rear touch pad
remote play
OLED screen

Nothing. The Vita is perfect.

I bought one back in 2012 and suffered from severe buyers remorse for years. Now I just use it to play classic PS1/PSP/PS2 games in bed. It's pretty cosy, although if I could go back and stop myself from buying one, I probably would.

And it only took them 5 years!

So perfect Sony just straight up abandoned it

Consumers are shit. This thing was great and was a flat upgrade from the PSP (which was really hampered by how shit UMDs were).

it's not the psp 3000

price
price of memory cards
non standard charging cable
was marketing was too focus on graphics and not software.

Did you pay a shitload for it or something? I got one for $150 with two games, and I was pretty happy with it. Got a 64gb memory card on black friday and I've been set ever since.

No Monster Hunter, the PSP's old Pokemon equivalent in that it draws a huge devoted fanbase who will buy the console for that game exclusively.

Memory cards which help security but seem like a gyp to any regular consumer

Could only use the original charger on the 1000, which again made it look like Sony were being exploitative

It's still an amazing handheld console though considering games still release on it concurrently with current gen console/PC. People (nintendo fanboys) just love to shit on it anyway.

I don't have any modern consoles, aren't there a lot of multiplatform games on the vita? I know of the atelier series and ninja gaiden, what else is worth buying a vita for?

Also can you hack ones with recent firmware or is it only available on a select few?

There are, but usually graphic-unintensive Jap games.

3.61 or under for pirating, and installing the hack prevents you from playing any new games released post-3.61, so it's double-edged

At this point, don't buy one unless if you get a really good deal on a 3.60 firmware Vita, then buy an SD adapter for it.
It has a lot of multiplats, but most of its library is also on PS4 or PC and those versions don't have performance problems.

>psp was only big because of homebrew
>no homebrew even after 10 years of unhacked profitability
they should've released hacks for it themselves, with a version that had a better screen/battery and camera/projector for augmented reality as the gimmick to justify reselling an old handheld.
that way they could've kept their game profits while making tonnes of profit off the console shitties buying it just for the homebrew aspect.
i was always waiting for it to be hacked, but it never happened

But the Vita versions are at least cheaper

>remote play
im surprised nintendo didn't get sued for the wiiu because of this

Just get brand new PSTV and a big usb stick.

Nothing. Still getting indie games, still getting jap games.

It never had western support after the initial launch so I don't see why anyone's saying it's dead now more than it was 2 months after launch. That said, I wish it got more traditional jrpgs and less dungeon crawlers. I fucking hate dungeon crawlers.

>new freeshop-like application for thousands of free games
explain

For mainstream success outside of Japan, yes.

I love mine but I almost exclusively use it for playing PS1 games.

Are all PSTVs hackable? Unfortunately I don't have a TV.

I guess I'll keep an eye out for deals.

How well does the vita play non-vita games? I guess PSP games run natively (with/without speedup and other enhancements?), can it emulate snes/genesis/gba/etc with no problems? How about ps1 games?

hello me. How about that 16 hours we spent grinding out apples in wild arms 1, or the millions of bits we made in suikoden 1

- rear touch pad was a stupid idea
- barely any games
- personally didn't like the analog sticks, they should've kept the psp ones or replicated the 3ds analog stick

+ fantastic ps1 player

>Can you you play one in public?
Well...

>they should've kept the psp ones or replicated the 3ds analog stick

>Diamond dogs
everytime

...

Vita has the PSP chip built in to it so it'll play PSP games natively. PS1 games run the exact same as they did on the PSP. There used to be a sound issue with pirated PS1 games but I think they've since fixed that.
Not sure about the native Vita emulators but it'll run all the same emulators that PSP could. So snes/genesis/gba/etc will work.

So what's the Vita's equivalent of Bing Bing Wahoo?

Japanese audio.

dog whistle pitched jap moaning/screeching, probably.

YAMETE ONII CHAAAAN

Really nothing because it's a system not monopolized by his own company and only supporting his games for literally childs.
Unless his bing bing wahoo counterpart you can play one in public safely without looking like a manchild.

KYAA BAKA HENTAI

Someone's mad.

Feels good not living in America where people are this insecure.

How's the remote play?

I played a lot of P5 on the thing, was incredibly comfy

The answer is probably obvious, but how does the selection of games stack up against the 3DS/2DS?

I'm getting my first handheld next month and am leaning heavily towards a 2DS unless there's something great about the vita i don't know about.

No one asked for it.

Only use it locally and I like it. Can get 60 fps with it. Works fine when I want to play on the couch or in bed.

Pretty good honestly. It has a decent range, I live in a metal house and it still reaches a good 30-40 feet before it's unplayable and starts cutting out. It can also connect via wi-fi if that's more your bag and you're out of state or something.

PS4 pro lets it stream at 60fps 720p but downscaled. It looks and feels great. That said, I still wouldn't recommend playing anything that needs split reaction like a dark souls game or most FPS on it. It's better for adventure games and RPGs.

not having an SD card slot so people could pirate the shit out of it by merely dragging and dropping stuff in it
piracy moves hardware. if hardware doesn't sell, publishers don't trust a small install base to invest gorillions producing AAA games for it, only indie garbage and cheap weeb stuff like Neptunia
but it didn't fail as a console. it's still alive today accomplishing what PSP set out to do ever since back then. Sony America is doing everyone a favor by simply leaving the system to fend for itself with Sony Japan and publishers like Bamco instead of wasting money shoehorning Asscreeds and Cawadootys in it that no one would buy anyway.

Sony didn't support it, and they charged too much for it:
The expensive proprietary memory was supposed to make up for selling the consoles at a significant loss, so that they could price-match Nintendo's $250 3DS; the problems came when Nintendo called their bluff and dropped the 3DS's price to $180. If they'd sold it for $350 and used microSD cards things would have probably gone better.

Even moreso if they'd supported the damn thing with a few more games. Moneyhatting if necessary.

From a developer perspective.
Why would you support the Vita?
The PS4 has a larger install base and you can play PS4 games on the Vita via remote play

Because in japan handhelds are a significantly larger market and now that nintendo has basically announced their shuttering of 3DS properties (pokemon not having another title on 3DS is rather huge) until switches are more in stock, now's the chance for people to capitalize on the vita's existence. Slightly more powerful, good testing ground for programming prowess on a system with comparatively less gimmicks.

I mean shit well over 40% of the switch's indie library in japan is games that were on vita.

The Vita having no games thing is just a meme. There's tons of them. You'll have to look at the top Vita and 3DS games and pick out which one you like more. I prefer the ones that the Vita has.

>unless there's something great about the vita i don't know about.
If you install CFW on your Vita, you can use Moonlight to stream PC games to it and use Adrenaline to have a fully functioning PSP.

Keep in mind there's already an emulator working for the 3DS, so there's literally no point to owning one anyway. Buy a fucking Vita RIGHT NOW.
