You are talking Vita right? I thought a physical PS4 version of Berserk Musou was already confirmed.

Picked up a Vita (1001 model) this week mainly for fighters and I'm pleasantly surprised at how great the d-pad is. Maybe great is too strong a word but it's relatively clicky and much more responsive than Sony's normal cheese grater d-pad. Another totally unexpected and very cool thing was the inclusion of additional control/button mapping options for PSOne and PSP games.

One thing I'm stumped on; how do I use the Vita version of Street Fighter X Tekken to unlock the extra 12 characters on the PS3 version? I bought the game new and while it had the sticker on the wrapper for the free characters it didn't include a download code inside nor does anything in-game mention it.

Maybe inside the insert?

Iirc, you don't get the characters out of the box. I think you have to play the vita challenges to unlock them. Something weird like that. Not even sure it would still work now, either. I think those servers have been down for awhile?

Is the vita turning out to be another Saturn with all the good games being Japanese?

It is starting to feel that way. Thank the gods for the lack of region locking.

Physical copies are supposed to include access the 12 DLC characters for the PS3 version along with the alternate costume bundle for both the PS3/Vita, there's even a sticker on the shrinkwrap advertising this. Hell, I was debating on buying the Vita version when it released because it was actually cheaper than the PS3 extra character pack alone. There's an item on the PSN store called the SFxT Vita Promo pack that includes this stuff but it's unavailable and the only way you can access it is to buy the Vita digital version of SFxT. The physical version includes no download codes and no instructions on how to verify your physical cart purchase over PSN to allow access to that promo deal.

Thankfully there's a PSN flash sale right now and Vita SFxT is only $3.99 (and only $2.99 for the PS3 version). Got it, got the extras no problem, and to eBay the physical copy goes.

Featured on this same flash sale are the PSP versions of SNK Arcade Classics Vol 1 and Samurai Shodown Anthology... at their everyday regular price of $19.99? Don't quite get that.

Berserk Musou is pretty badass on Vita...............can't wait for PS4 version
Musou Stars will be another one I'm waiting for
Gun Gun Pixies: looks fun
Demon Gaze II: Yes..............will get it in March!!!

I just couldn't get into demon gaze. I love dungeon crawlers so I really don't understand it. I guess it's too JRPG-E for me. Does that game get pretty good? I spent 4 hours on it, but it was too much pointless talking.

I put over 60hrs into Demon Gaze. I'm a person that normally can't put more than 8 hrs into a game without losing my mind. It gets good.

Damn, I need to get this. I spent 56 hours in Mind Zero and it is definitely average at best. Still, I like the story enough to keep going.

I've put under 20hrs into Mind Zero - I loved the art direction, story was ok....but it just wouldn't click with me. The same thing happened with Conception 2

MAYAman · Jan 25, 2017

The US Saturn has gotten a few English translated homebrews. Do you think the same thing will happen with the Vita Japanese classics? Or is this impossible because the Vita is still viable as a current product.

ummmm - ok....

The Saturn is coming up on 20 years old, man. Plenty of time for fan translations to slowly trickle into existence. Closest thing you will see for vita is crowd funding campaigns to port visual novels. You are comparing apples to oranges and asking about grapes.

Picked myself up a copy of Farming Simulator 14 today

solid purchases! Heavy Arm rules.

Also, that Farming vid was amazing

GregN · Feb 5, 2017

I still say that 3 was better in every way except the battle system.
4 is still a great game though.

I did also get myself a package of Vita games from a friend, consisting of:
Ragnarok Odyssey Ace LE
Angry Birds Star wars
Batman Arkham Origins Blackgate
EDF 2
Futuridium
Injustice
Killzone Mercenary
Little Deviants
Lumines
Silent Hill
Mortal Kombat
Super Monkey Ball
Virtua Tennis
Walking Dead Season 2
Zero Time Dilemma

also ordered Shiren the Wanderer and Tales of Cold Steel LE.
puts me at 111 vita games #shelfqueenlife

as far as gameplay goes, I'm still working on Muramasa - It's good, but I'm having trouble staying interested for more than 2 missions at a time.

I will say I'm 2 games away from having every LRG - Saturday Morning RPG and Oddworld New 'n Tasty - anyone know where i can sneak one?

bartre · Feb 6, 2017

double post

pixeljunkie · Feb 15, 2017

anyone know where to get these cases cheaper?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Protect-cle...7&rk=1&rkt=4&sd=431182667354&var=431182667354

Looking for the pink/sparkle hard case - but that price is doodoo

radiantsvgun · Feb 16, 2017

It should be a no-brainer, but Shantae on Vita is amazing. That team really knows what they are doing. The game feels right at home on the vita.

bartre · Feb 20, 2017

nobody mentioned this yet?
http://store.nisamerica.com/games/psvita/ys-viii-lacrimosa-of-dana-limited-edition-ps-vita

Ys VIII is coming stateside physically courtesy of NIS.
I don't really preorder, but I preordered this.

so that's pretty cool, and rather tempting, but I think I'm done with LE's.
There's hasn't been a desirable or collectible LE in ages, and I rarely look at the fluff.
