Tell me about the Vita

[soop]

I'm having surprising difficulty finding out what you can do with it - I can't log onto PSN yet, but I was under the impression there would be TG16 games, maybe some other emulation too, but I can't find a list.

what else can I do with mine?

[GohanX]

There are a few TG16 and Neo Geo games on there, but nothing to get excited about. If you are wanting classics, the best bang for the buck are the SNK and Capcom collections, as they are cheap and have a ton of games on them.

Aside from that, catch up on PSP games you missed, and PS1 classics should become available eventually. And of course, actual Vita games, there aren't a lot of them (and there won't be for a while) but there are some excellent games in there like Rayman and Uncharted.

I think Sony said PS1 games are coming really soon.  There's alot of great PSP games, it's amazing how many (atleast IMO) there are that are really good that I never knew about.  And there's still more PSP games coming.  Gungir just came out, & I believe Unchained Blades & Growlanser 4 will be out by the end of the month.  Also, atleast for me, I'll be getting a Vita for Ys 4, & well, anything else Falcom releases!  But I'm holding out on a new model, unless Ys 4 comes out here before hand, then I might have to give in.

There's also a few awesome dl only vita games like The Escape Plan and Super Stardust.  People would hop on the hate bandwagon and rag about the content of Ridge Racer Vita, but now there's 90 music tracks, extra cars, and tracks that make it well worth it for me.  It's sad that Dragon's Crown is now so far off it's not being released till 2013.  I also will be getting Ys Celceta when it comes out.  Is this actually the "new" Ys 4 or is that going to be totally different?  Lumines is also a must buy game for vita.  I still play my vita almost daily.  Ys Chronicles finally became playable for Vita so I've been rocking that the past couple weeks.  Looks gorgeous on the OLED.

I enjoyed the new Resistance, despite the poor reviews.  Uncharted was pretty good if that is your thing.  Also, I am. Baseball nut, and MLB 12 is the best portable baseball game since Baseball Stars.

You are probably better off waiting if you dont have one yet, because you missed the launch thrill and are probably nearing a price cut or good bundle.  Once one of those things occurs, it is worth a purchase.

Maybe Playstation All-Stars will live up to the hype?

[ParanoiaDragon]

Ys Celeceta will be the deffinitive Ys 4.  Forget about Dawn of Ys, or either of the Mask of the Sun games(currently, the SNES Mask of the Sun is the official Ys 4).  Since there's never been an Ys 4 by Falcom themselves(Dawn of Ys by Hudson, Mask of the Sun by Tonkin' House, & Mask of the Sun: A New Theory by Taito), it's hard to know how close any elements of the story or characters will be to any of the old incarnations of Ys 4.  For instance, Arem is only in Dawn of Ys, however, I believe Falcom planned to have Arem in the Ys 4 anime they were shopping around for, based on the style of art used, as Gadis, Garuda, & Bami look like they're straight out of the PCE game.  Since I don't have a Vita yet, I'll probably wait until the US version comes to buy it.  Otherwise, I'd probably just go ahead & buy the Jp version & try to play thru it.

Also, yeah, Uncharted is supposed to be good, I love the Uncharted games, so, I'll be getting that.  I still haven't gotten into the Resistence games, but, seeing as how the Vita game might be the last one for awhile, maybe I'll pick up the series & start playing thru them at my leisure.

Finally got my PSN sorted, and  downloaded a bunch of Demos.  I was really impressed with Unit 13, so I think I'll be getting that at some point.
The AR games are novel, but Frobisher Says is really my kind of thing too

I haven't even played Uncharted yet, so I might crack that open on the way home.

Atlus just dropped the prices on a bunch of their PSP rpg's, some are as low as 5 bucks:

Interesting.  If you could pick one, what would it be and why?

I'm not super into JRPGs, though I love Zelda and Golden Sun.

[ParanoiaDragon]

Crimson Gem Saga & Hexyz Force seem to be the most solid JRPG's in that bunch.  I haven't beaten either yet, they're on my long back log.  But they seem like the safest bets, however, unlike Zelda both are turn based.  

Riviera, Yggdra Union, & Knights in the Knightmare are SRPG's, but even that doesn't exactly explain them.  They don't seem like you're typical Final Fantasy Tactics games, especially Yggdra Union IIRC is more like a card battle game.

People rave about the Shin Megami Tensai games, but I'ver never cared for them myself.  I don't really know anything about Class of Heroes or Kenka Bancho: Badass Rumble.

There are some reviews of most of these games here:

The Persona's are choice, as is Class of Heroes (1st person dungeoner). Crimson Gem Saga is LIGHT Years better than it's predecessor, and Hexyz Force is pretty fun.

I've been playing Uncharted and it's really good!

Insane plot though, the main character is already a mass murderer, and yet he seems to shrug off his killings with casual indiference.  He's clearly a psychopath.
