That guy needs put down.
I don't like golf either, but these games are great.
What's to stop someone borrowing their buddies games then/used/rented games??
I keep feeling tempted too, but I own the original on PSP and never finished it.

Virtua Tennis 4 is a launch title in the US, right? It doesn't show up on Amazon.

Well I had Virtua Tennis for PSP, so was going to skip this but that did look new and fresh. LOL at the dude in video.
STOP IT. I've promised myself that the next game for Vita I'm going to buy will be Wipeout. Don't tempt me.

Still trying to decide what launch titles to pick up in the US. Any consensus from JGAF on the best Vita games? Is Virtua Tennis 4 a return to form for the series?
man, silver level in Minna no golf is really tricky. Very narrow and hilly fairways, and lots of hazards. Got a 350yd drive though on the first hole, even with my starter character, just because it ran down a huge hill so far. But one mistake and you're dead. Such a great game.
If I could only choose one, I'd go with Gravity Daze despite only playing the demo so far.
While I think the doom and gloom talk is silly, the article can be pretty much summed up to "guys, don't count Vita out of the picture, look at 3DS!". That's fine, but what are the reasons for 3DS's strong come back? Price cut and software. Nintendo had a smashing lineup for the end of the year, with three strong hitters. The massive price cut did wonders too.
Would Sony do a price cut? And what about software? What do we have on the horizon?
I doubt Sony will cut the price, so they need killer software. They need to find a sales driver, a game that makes people think they need a PSVita. That game was Monster Hunter, but now that Sony dropped the ball with that, they have to find something else. It's a lot easier for Nintendo because they have a lot of popular franchises in Japan, and while I don't think Vita is quite doomed yet, Sony has a big challenge ahead.

Picked up a Vita last night, got a good deal on one. Really loving the thing, can't wait until I get more games on it (wipEout!!!). Uncharted had a LOT more aliasing than I was expecting, but aside from that, it seems to be a full-fledged Uncharted in the palm of my hand... and that, my friends, is quite awesome.
I hated Welcome Park, though. Damn slider puzzle trophies!!!

I'm definitely interested. But, it seems that won't be out 'til May in the US.

is power smash 4 English friendly?
Some of it is, enough to get around. World Tour is slightly harder to understand.

Damn I don't know if i want to buy another game or wait for the NA launch to start buying over PSN.
Thanks. This worked wonderfully.
Not tried it yet.
I fucking love Uncharted as I've said here on GAF a few times already. Minna no Golf is good, but gets nerve wreckingly hard later on. I love it and hate it at the same time. Katamari is ok and Little Deviants is good and bad, but a good showcase for Vita functions. I would say buy Gravity Daze too, as I too think it might be a hit.
My friend loves Army Corps but I haven't tried it yet as I am waiting for the english version.
I still think Gravity Daze May release is a misprint or false information as the japanese version is finished. But it might be that Sony doesn't want to have too many great games in launch and just wants to postpone it to give it more focus.

I'm holding out on playing uncharted, until i get into my flight back.
Any other English friendly recommendations?

Ubisoft's titles are £5.96 on Amazon UK. Probably a mistake but worth trying I guess.

I did not know that FIFA is will be a launch game for the west. If Sony and EA played their hands correctly this could be a killer app in Europe.
Hahaha, love videos like these.
Thank you,
Well, it's semi-BC I guess...
Ha ha... I will try that in Feb.
Technically, it can emulate a PSP "perfectly".
But to make UMD work on Vita, the good PSP hackers can either
1) hack Vita PSP emulator to load our ripped PSP games, or
2) somehow create a PSP game installer from UMD, and have PS3/PC copy it to the unsuspecting Vita

Yeah, still didn't finish them. So hard
I wonder when we will get Rayman's release date. Why did Michael Jackson Experience and Dark Quest get released before it anyway... Also, according to this 4Gamer article, Rayman Vita doesn't have multiplayer.

Yeah, I'm really terrible at them in general but the ability to slide past the borders really helped, and I was finally able to finish them up after a few hours of trying. -_-Yeah, still didn't finish them. So hard
I probably retried the final one about 100 times. lol
More Uncharted impressions: I couldn't get used to the motion assist aiming, so I had to turn it off, and I'm doing much better now (although the sticks took some getting used to as well). As far as the game goes, I'm loving it. Absolutely love the new gameplay twists to the treasures/mysteries/etc. I can't believe it but I'm enjoying this more than Uncharted 3 so far.

Yeah, I can't do the two bigger slider trophies on Welcome Park... need my younger brother to help (he's a master at these things) but he's on the other side of the world!
Question that might have been talked about before but I'm bringing it up now so let's talk about it again okay:
What Japanese PSP games on PSN (Vita's PSN) do you guys recommend, if any? I've flipped through them a few times and almost pulled the trigger on a few more, but I was wondering if anyone had some omg-super-awesome recommendations?

I think I'll ask my friends to do it, as it's impossible to be worse than me.
As for the Japanese PSP games... I'd go with Monster Hunter Portable 3rd, Final Fantasy Type-0 and Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity (when they release it). That's what I bought anyway.

I think I read that Vita need new version/format of PSP iso, it's why people have to redownload psp games on psn before they can transfer it to vita, and why, currently, you can't transfer US psp games on japanese/hk Vita because the US Vita store is not up yet.

Thinking of purchasing from the hk store Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom or blazeblue, wondering which game has more of the english language in them?
I bought Ridge Racer last night great game I'm trying to work out what's what with the language barrier, I'm liking the visuals so far. The frame rate is a little over the place at times. I feel if they spent more time on develepment the game would be smoother
One other thing I like about the Vita is having my metal music playing while I'm racing in RR

I honestly hadn't even heard of Motorstorm RC until I saw this post. And I'm actually a mild fan of the series.
I buy everything Motorstorm, so that would have been a sweet launch release here in the states. But it would probably stomp ModNation even further into the dirt so maybe it will be good to delay it a little. want both to have success.
