PlayStation Vita Japanese Launch Thread. "APOCALYPTIC!" says concerned Nuclear Muffin

At first I was really angry that LoA doesn't has online mp, but after playing through a few quests I must say that I don't regret this purchase. The game is pretty slick and it looks much better than the PSP version. Now to find Japanese people to play with, as none of my friends is planning to buy it yet...
I'd also like to thank you twentytwo22. Great vids. Definitely among the best I have seen out there discussing the Vita.
Now that you've had it a while how do you feel about your purchase? Any shopper's remorse or worth every penny? (or whatever is the Japanese equivalent to a penny)

No remorse in the least, this thing is amazing.
Might have felt remorse if I splurged on more launch titles (if some of them turn out to be real duds), but I conjured up the power to hold off until we hear more about their actual quality.
BTW Keiician, I find it funny that LoA got a 9, 9, 8, 8 last week in Famitsu for PSP and now it is being reported that the Vita version got 8, 7, 6, 7. I'm assuming that since these are different weeks, the four reviewers were different people. Not that Famitsu's score means anything, I just found this funny. I'm definitely enjoying it so far, love how fast paced it is.
Yeah, your vids were amazing, good work!
Those scores were fake, I have the latest Famitsu and there's no single Vita game review there (they were supposed to be in last week's issue). Too bad we won't be able to play together though...

Seriously a bummer. I've got nobody else to play with here, either.
Hopefully we can get our multiplayer on with some titles soon.

It didn't work ;( It's weird, because I could swear Sony talked about HTML5 before.
I wonder if the browser side of things was rushed a bit (even though the app itself is quite nice) because we can't use the browser without closing games either, and I thought we were going to be able to.

If m.youtube.com doesn't recognize the Vita as a mobile device it will redirect it to main site, just like any desktop browser.

Thanks for the reply. That's a darn shame.

No news about the account switching using 2 cards and factory reset?

I thought that near was useless but is actually very neat. Looking for your real life area game popularity ranking is neat

Nobody got the Blazblue game?, I want to know how good an HD sprite game looks in Vita.

Bomba confirmed!
And rockman, DCharlie was saying on twitter that it looks pretty great.

I'm pretty sure that they said something to the effect of "It's not where we want it to be yet, Stay Tuned."
I really want to get one, the appeal of new hardware (really nice looking hardware to boot) and my prolonged holidays is making it hard for me to resist. There just aren't any games that really interest me.
I doubt it's a bomba. Amazon's Vita stock situation has changed a lot of the last couple of weeks. It might be sold out in 5 minutes from now. I was definitely surprised at the mark down I saw at GEO, though (I checked pretty thoroughly to make sure it wasn't some sort of deal, too).

This is not an indication of a trend or anything at all, but interesting that the Vita is climbing up the Amazon chart after being nearly out of the top 10 before its release date. Vita wifi is now #2 and 3G is #7.
Again, just an observation - not an indication of what the sales are ultimately

I know you are secretly crying inside that you can't go out and buy a Vita.
It's just that they should be finally back in stock, after being with almost no stock at all, I think.
Really looking forward to see new videos for Dynasty Warriors Next.
Jeff Rigby has a new case.

Any idea when the 8-4 podcast will be up? I guess it's not going up for a while since it is now past-midnight in Japan.
Actually the 3G version wasn't out of stock - only the wifi version was. The 3G version was languishing in the teens but now is back up at #7.

Can you transfer content bought in with a different account from a PS3 to the Vita without a system reset?
This is what I'm wondering most- any ideas JPN GAF?!
As far as I know stuff on PSVita is locked to one PSN account at a time.
The redsungamer guys ran Pixeljunk Monsters and it ran fine over remoteplay. Anything that works with the PSP remote play will work with PS Vita. I don't think they added anything else.

Sonic isn't on the list. I don't think it works!

Check earlier in this thread, someone tried a PSN game on vita. And PS3 remote play? Some are working, for instance; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDLFqiUoon0

I got it! It's absolutely beautiful. The colors really pop and there's simply no comparison at all to the PSP/3DS CSII release a while back.
Online works fantastic too.

PSN games are identical to retail games in everything but "packaging". What applies to one applies to the other, including remote play.
So far it seems that all games that worked via remote play with PSP work with Vita.
Yeah I just tried it on PSP, it doesn't work =( oh well. Would of been awesome.

What is pathetic with lowering prices?
The Amazon discount isnt really much of an indicator. Just a quick example:
http://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B003T9VDGO/
Already 15% off the price and the game isnt even out for some months.

PS Vita is the first plasma-handheld xD
It is a pretty good indicator in this case. Yes, they do sell pretty much every game for 10-15% off. I've been following the Vita for about 2 weeks now though and it's either been marked up (up to 30,000 for the 25,000 version) or not available for pre-order.
For them to now have stock (hasn't changed in the last few hours) and be selling both versions at a slightly discounted price says to me that there is ample stock to go around at the moment.
