Hey guys. I might be getting some PayPal coming in, so I wanted to know if you would recommend the Vita version of the Ratchet & Clank Collection as well as New Little King's Story. Are those competent versions of what were otherwise awesome games?
I have no idea how LKS runs on Vita (don't own it

) but I played the Ratchet Collection (NA version) for most of August. The Vita version is solid

. It isn't native res and it isn't 60FPS, but it runs at a very stable 30 FPS and all the games run solid on Vita (and this is coming from someone who beat Up Your Arsenal, the third game, MANY times on PS2 XD!).
The controls are solid too; rear touch deals with the strafing in Ratchet 1-3 (you get strafing in Ratchet 1 very late in the game once you unlock the Jetpack backpack) and everything else is mapped to the buttons alongside the game supporting front-touch with the menus.
The only issues the games have are these:
-Ratchet and Clank has some issues with the movement (though that is largely due to how the original controlled). It works well after a while; you get use to it

.
-Ratchet and Clank has some issues with its meters; the air meter and suck cannon meter stay on the screen even when not in use (it 'retracts' to the right side of the screen). This bug is also in the PS3 version of the collection.
-Ratchet and Clank Going Commando has some texture issues; the game will sometimes 'forget' to add textures to things (a random wall here, the slot machines there). It doesn't effect the game at all, just something visually odd at times :l.
-Ratchet and Clank Up Your Arsenal has some crashing issues. The two places this is the most common (and only times the game crashed on me) are the sewer area early in the game and one of the last levels. I don't know why that is the case :l, it just happens I suppose....
All these issues are very small though (outside the crashing in Ratchet 3, though like I said, that happens very rarely). I beat the original once, the sequel twice and the third game three times so far and had a fun time through all the playthoughs

.
The Sly Collection is the better collection on a technical level but you can't beat portable Ratchet and Clank man

!
