Except the 3DS FE games are pretty much trash when compared to previous games. They're still good games, just nowhere near as good as the older games, so not a good example to showcase 3DS's JRPG library considering Vita has many more JRPGs of far higher quality.
Been buying games for it and will continue doing so. Freaking love my Vita. My only issue now is storage...guess I'll be doing more physical purchases.
@whywai88 It's a hack and slash, so not exactly appealing the everyone. If games like Dynasty Warriors, Senran Kagura, or, hell even Pokemon Rumble (I'm probably insulting this game by comparing it to Pokemon Rumble, but it's still somewhat of an example) don't appeal to you, this game probably won't as well.
"If it wasn't for NepNep and friends, the PlayStation Vita probably wouldn't command a retail store presence at all."
Just curious about what you mean by this. Is it because IFI has been localizing these games and releasing them with only a few months at most between them?
Personally I'm still surprised to see these games on display at the Vita section when I walk into a Gamestop. Would've expected to see them only put the western titles in front and Nep Nep behind the counter (like when I went to pick up the original Neptunia all those years ago).
There was a ton of crap on PS Mobile, but there were a few gems as well. Hopefully I really will be able to preserve all my purchases, so I'll be enjoy the few good and fun games on my Xperia Play for years to come.
EDIT: Does anyone know how to back up PS Mobile games from an Android device to PC? I want to change my ROM and kernel later, but don't want to lose my games forever.
Yup, buying more digitally than ever, except on Nintendo platforms. The crappy account system wannabe that Nintendo has in place turns me off of buying my games digitally on 3DS and Wii U. I have some games downloaded, mostly indie-type games and only a small few retail, but I can't take the massive risk of spending too much on Nintendo consoles as there is no account system in place that I have any control over. At least with every single other system, you can control what devices gets your downloads.
Would be cool if they could somehow shoehorn this onto Vita, but oh well. I'll be playing this on PC if this game comes stateside. Considering how Capcom is a better company than Sega of today, I think I can keep my hopes up.
Skipped the sale and just bought Atelier Ayesha Plus for my Vita...but couldn't download until the PSN issues were "resolved". Still hoping to see God Eater Burst on sale again....
My 4th playthrough of Re;Birth1. Will probably play some Smash Bros and Mario Kart with my siblings as well. Or Left 4 Dead 2 or Age of Empires 2/3 depending on what they wanna do.
If anyone's interested, Amazon has Japanese sellers selling 64 GB Vita memory card for about $87 after shipping. I ended up finally caving and ordering one since there are way too many digital-only JRPGs with huge file sizes (specifically those Atelier games).
Gonna see if I can sell my 32 GB to a friend.
Gonna virtually camp out on the Amazon page for the Limited Edition. I should probably bring a virtual weapon of some sort to deter others from buying it before me.
So the only show where Vita had any chance of any kind of impact....and nothing? Sony arfed up. Guess Sony really doesn't care for it anymore, which is a sad thing. Nintendo needs core competition in the handheld ring. With Sony bowing out, whose left? NVIDIA?
@Cyrso Really hope people will stop incorrectly using the term "next-gen" someday.... But anyway, I agree that the Vita is a great gaming platform. Has plenty of games, especially if you love Japanese stuff. Just too bad that most Muricans and other westerners have the mentality that portables should only play small games and that big games should only be played on bigger screens with a full controller (or mouse/keyboard). Which is part of the reason why there's so much doom and gloom. There is far too much close-mindedness in the gaming community.
Well at least I can still access it on my Xperia Play (still the Gingerbread man runs), but aw. Oh well, hopefully they'll support Vita more.....though they'll probably kill that of soon as well

Re: Soapbox: After the Vita's Failure, Why Do People Now Want Console Games on the Go?
Pretty sure it's just because of bias.
Since Nintendo is doing it, it's suddenly the most brilliant idea ever.
Re: Gundam Extreme VS Force Blows a Hole in Vita in July
Digital only huh? This and the fact that there's almost no content in this game. Maybe I'll just import a copy.

Re: Play Hundreds of PS3 Games on Your PS4, Vita in the Free PlayStation Now Trial
Price needs to be lower. NVIDIA's Geforce Now (cheeky name) is much cheaper and, from my experience, just plain works better.
Re: Girls are Cuter on the PS4, According to Senran Kagura Creator
Neptunia VII proves that PS4 has the ultimate potential this gen for cuteness.
I still prefer my cute little Vita though.

Re: PSN Is Down for Some, Sony Says It's Due to Heavy Traffic
Just tried to access PSN from my Vita again since the status changed, but I'm being asked to update now.
Re: Store Update: 13th January 2015 (North America)
Bought Atelier Ayesha, but PSN is down so I can't download
It'll be my first Atelier game...eventually
Re: We Sentence Sony to 500,000 Years for This Freedom Wars Troll
Sony seems to hate the Vita, and also the fans and third parties who support it.
Re: Talking Point: Which PS4 Games Are You Most Looking Forward to in 2015?
I don't have a PS4, and have no intent on getting one, but I'm still looking forward to Neptunia VII (and hoping for a PC release).
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This... Christmas?
My 4th playthrough of Re;Birth1.
Will probably play some Smash Bros and Mario Kart with my siblings as well. Or Left 4 Dead 2 or Age of Empires 2/3 depending on what they wanna do.
Re: Why Haven't We Seen More of Gravity Rush 2? You'll Find Out Soon
Enjoying the first game. If the sequel jumps ship to the PS4, I guess I'll have to just watch videos on Youtube.

Re: Review: Tales of Hearts R (PlayStation Vita)
I'm a self-respecting JRPG fan...and I'm bypassing this for now. I have something against Bamco and their handling of Tales.
Re: Reaction: EGX London Hammers Another Nail in PS Vita's Coffin
Too bad about the Vita. I really love mine. At the very least it's doing well enough in Japan to warrant plenty of niche Japanese games.
Re: PSN Offline Yet Again as Connections Drop Around the Globe
PSN coming back up as the eShop is dropping like a brick.
Re: What Do the PlayStation Vita's First Themes Look Like?

Re: Poll: Are You in Tune with the PlayStation TV?
Already have a Vita, don't need another one.
Unless they do another radical revision like the PSP go.

Re: This Is How Sony's Greeting the Xbox One in Tier 2 Territories

Re: Sony Attempts to Lure The Female Market with a Light Pink PS Vita
Looks nice. A little surprised that Sony is doing this at all, since it looked like they were intent on abandoning the Vita before this event.
Re: Poll: What Did You Think of Sony's Pre-Tokyo Game Show Conference?
Loves the Vita news, didn't give a damn about anything else. Except for maybe that VR demo.
Re: Themes Aren't Just Coming to PS4, They're Coming to Vita, Too
@Jazzer94
Unless Nintendo wants to be hateful like they sometimes are, we'll hopefully get Wii U themes after 3DS gets them this October.
Re: Themes Aren't Just Coming to PS4, They're Coming to Vita, Too
Gimme a Neptunia theme. I'm already using Neptunia wallpapers for my lockscreen and all my pages, may as well take it a step further.

Re: Review: Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment (PlayStation Vita)
Hm, same score that I would give the show.
Will wait for a price drop or sale for that so called "waifu" material that I've been hearing about.
Re: There Are Still More PlayStation Press Conferences to Come
We might get a Gravity Rush 2 announcement but that'll be it for Vita
No actually, they'll probably end up announcing that game for PS4 instead.
Re: Poll: What Did You Think of the Sony PlayStation Gamescom 2014 Press Conference?
I don't give a damn about PS4,so this show was just plain terrible to me. If only the Vita had more prescence.
Re: Round Up: What Happened During PlayStation's Gamescom 2014 Press Conference?
In the end, nothing about Vita memory cards? Sigh..........

Re: Guide: When Is Sony's Gamescom 2014 Press Conference?
The most important thing they can announce today is anything related to Vita memory cards.
