Re: Hardware Review: PS Vita Slim - Screen if You Wanna Go Faster

That was actually one of my points; that Vita has better games than Android at the moment. However, I'm looking toward the future a bit. By the time the third Shield (the one I'd like to buy) comes out next year or the year after, hopefully developers will develop more complex games to match the amount of power in future high end devices. Hopefully. Maybe if mobile controllers start selling better...
Though personally, there are some Android games out now that I'd like to play on Shield like Asphalt 8, Modern Combat 5 (whenever that comes out), Dead Trigger 2, Record of Agarest War, and others. Of course, my Nexus 5 can run all those games very well, but I don't want to fill the internal 32 GB (formatted 26 GB) memory of my phone with games since I also use it for other things. Which is probably one of the reasons why I want a Shield; have it be a physical place where all my paid Android games can live (especially if Shield 3 supports 128 GB micro SD cards) and not waste space.

Just going to say something that will attract some ire (probably): the nvidia Shield is now $250, and comes with all-around superior specs, better screen quality and resolution, more battery life, better gamepad, and comes with a built-in 16 GB internal that's expandable using the increasingly cheaper micro SD cards.
That said, Vita (currently) has more games from western and Japanese major developers and indies that could be considered great...which is (sorta) the only thing 3DS has over the Vita as well.
Anyway, I'll be importing that nice looking blue/white Vita Slim from Japan once I can afford it. Also can't wait for next year's Shield iteration.

Seems like you never pay attention to the eShop sales. Like the one that's currently running for Atlus games. Nintendo's first party games may not get price reductions very often, but third party and indies do.

EDIT: Also in terms of Vita, many people are more likely to buy retail games digitally along with digital only games rather than just digital only games. There's also the issue of PSO2 if that ever comes out in the west. And the issue of the cards being REQUIRED to save most games' data on the original model. One could just buy the overpriced 4 GB to save data, but why do that when it's possible that later on you might need even more overpriced memory?

Re: Sick of Your PS4 Controller Running Out of Battery? Nyko Has the Solution

Well, the DualShock 4 also has to power more rumble than the Pro controller and also a multi-touch touchpad as well. Then there's the accelerometer and gyroscope. The battery inside the DualShock 4 is also apparently smaller than the Pro as well.
But anyway, I'm personally going to wait for a price drop on the Gamepad battery. Just 3-4 hours of additional gameplay isn't worth $32 to me.

Re: Score Free PlayStation Mobile Games This Winter

I don't understand how to play Passing Time yet, but I'll give it another shot. Rymdkapsel, on the other hand, is very fun and relaxation; I'm really loving that game.
Playstation Mobile actually has some pretty fun games. For example, Adventure Bar Story Labyrinth is a nice rogue-like RPG that plays well on my Xperia Play. I just wish that the onscreen buttons were optional.
I wonder if that new Blood Wyvern game will be offered for free. It's pretty cheap though, so I'll probably just purchase it anyway.
