Mendon Posted August 7, 2013 Author Share Posted August 7, 2013 I'd say take a look at the Vita version of Dragon's Crown. It comes out.... today, in fact! If you're a fan of Golden Axe style games, you'd probably enjoy it. Additionally, check out the Vita version of Disgaea 3 if you absolutely, positively hate the idea of having free time. Thanks for the suggestions! From the reviews, videos, and comments by Cimerians, Dragons Crown appears to be a must buy for me, but now I have to decide on the Vita or PS3 version....sigh, decisions, decisions. I think my son has Digaea 3 and also Soul Sacrifice and I'll have to check and see if I can borrow them after I've finished Persona. I'm also going to download New Little King's Story and Atelier Meruru Plus: The Alchemist of Arland 3 as soon as I buy a bigger memory stick. If anyone here has already played either, I'd appreciate any comments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Vita version of Atelier Totori Plus is currently available though, which is a pretty solid game. Gust is apparently also working on a revamped, Vita version of Atelier Rorona as well, though I wouldn't expect it to get here any time this year.

I did it again, in that I posted the wrong game title. I meant Totori Plus. But I didn't know that Meruru was releasing or that Rorona might be in development. Thanks for the info!!!

cimerians Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Well...looks like a bunch of games are going to be on sale: http://blog.us.playstation.com/2013/08/12/ps-vita-game-sale-celebrates-japanese-developers/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaytonaUSA Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 The Vita is a great system, and with the free Plus games you rarely need to buy anything. I'm still taken back by how well the OS works, and how quickly you can jump from one app to another. It's something the Wii U can't seem to get down, and it has double the RAM allotted for it's OS. Makes you wonder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karyyk Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 (edited) I was staying far away from the Vita simply because I really don't need another platform at this point. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on what part of me is looking at what), now I don't think I'll be able not to get one: https://twitter.com/...727647885991936 Edited August 14, 2013 by Karyyk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendon Posted August 14, 2013 Author Share Posted August 14, 2013 Now that PSN is running the "Japanese Developed Game Sale", I'm picking up 5 games I've been wanting: Atelier Totori, New Little Kings Story, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Ragnarok Odyssey, and Gravity Rush. I was going to wait on buying these until my "To Play" and "To Finish" stacks got a little smaller but at these prices I'm getting them now. Thanks for the link, Cimerians!! Plus more soon to be released games I'll be getting: Walking Dead (which includes the 400 Days DLC), Valhalla Knights 3, and Y's: Memories of Celceta. And it was also just announced that Duke Nukem 3D is being released for the Vita. Might be a dated game but having a portable version in all its OLED glory will be too good to pass up. Its been a great time for me to pick up a Vita! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cimerians Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 I just picked up a Vita at Target. On sale this week for $199 (Batman bundle included) Its all Mendon's fault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendon Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share Posted August 19, 2013 hehehe... welcome to the Vita owners society, Cimerians. And make sure you check out PJ Monsters Ultimate HD! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendon Posted August 20, 2013 Author Share Posted August 20, 2013 OH MY..... it was just announced that Borderlands 2 is coming for Vita in 2014. http://blog.us.playstation.com/2013/08/20/borderlands-2-coming-to-playstation-vita/ Damn, I'm glad I picked this point in time to buy a Vita as I'm enjoying many current games and the announced upcoming games like Duke Nukem 3D and Borderlands 2 has me excited for the future.

goldenegg Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 An official price drop to $199 was also announced. They still aren't including a memory card though, but have promised price drops for those shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cimerians Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Ok, I must say I am very impressed with the Vita it really went beyond my expectations. The touch screen is great (like a small iPad) and the menu navigation is fast and "makes sense". I downloaded a couple of my plus games and a PSP game it looks great on the bigger screen. Wow. I hope this thing sticks around for a while and it's a shame Sony can't support it properly with affordable storage options. That's the only negative I can really give it right now. I'm downloading Pinball Arcade (since I got the vita version free through crossplay when I bought the PS3 version). I wonder how it will perform on the Vita..

WestofHouse Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 For those of you wanting a Vita, I posted one in the Marketplace a few weeks back. I'll give a great deal to an AA'er. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OBO Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 So... I bought a Vita too. It's a nice machine (and I can't help myself calling it "Lynx 3", maybe because the shape reminds me of Lynx 1 and 2 mixed together) Only point I don't like with this is the touchscreen. I don't know why, it does not seem as soft to the touch as the one from an iPad for example. Got all the PS+ free games and a few old PS1 games that I can play on Vita and PS3 (Driver & G-Police) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendon Posted August 31, 2013 Author Share Posted August 31, 2013 I just pre-ordered the Silver Anniversary Edition of Ys: Memories of Celceta from Amazon. I could not resist a cloth map, soundtracks and a compass!!! http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BAWXCP2/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&tag=atariage&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00BAWXCP2&linkCode=as2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theredlineboss Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I bought my vita around a year ago and I love it. Admittedly, the game selection at first was rather crappy and the memory card prices are inexcusable, but it's been worth owning (to me, at least). -Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skarrj Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 For a system that seemed destined for great fps, it sure does lack in that dept. COD multiplayer is seriously dumbed down, the single player missions are terrible. Resistance single player is fantastic, multiplayer works very well (when it works), otherwise it is a serious buggy almost unplayable mess. The jak trilogy and the metal geard HD remake are best buys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love cloth maps....I may pre-order it. Do the three of you have Ys Seven? Xseed's limited edition of that also came with a cloth map. I actually have three of said map, through various unusual circumstances. For a system that seemed destined for great fps, it sure does lack in that dept. From what I've been hearing, the soon to release Killzone: Mercenary is the cure for that problem. onmode-ky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it's on my list to get someday although the prices can only increase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
