Sweeeeet much better sale this week. All that lego, and UMvsC3 finally. What is up wit all those free PSone and psp games? And surprisingly i own none of those.

BUY WHATEVER YOU WANT! Chances are its on sale. Live La Vita Loca!

Disagree on the better sale. At least I got Smart As... last week.
I already bought everything from this week that I wanted a very long time ago.

I'll probably grab Stranger's Wrath with the discount though... but that's not really a part of the "sale". :P
 
I can't trust Senran Kagura impressions because it seems everyone who got it is going to/has been justifying their purchase with hyperbolic statements. Just as was done with the 3DS games, saying the actual gameplay was deeper than it looked and more than just T&A.

When I finally did play those games they bored me to tears. Clearly just fan service.

This one is a big change gameplay-wise though so I'm hopeful. I'll probably import when prices go back to normal on Amazon jp.

So is Dokuro kind of like Escape Plan + Kirby Canvas Curse/Sumioni with the drawing mechanic?

Interesting way of putting it but.... yes.

This is funny, I've done this so many times that the cashier at Rite-Aid actually laughs when I buy them. Jesus, the Vita is a Godsend for gamer dads. I couldn't imagine having the time now to be tethered to a TV for long periods of console gaming.

No doubt. I just usually roll a PSN card into my purchase any time I'm at Target picking up baby supplies, or especially at Walgreens when picking up prescriptions. I love being able to move room to room with my Vita while my daughter crawls around and explores.
 
I was going to look at the current price of the games going on sale so I could know what they're going to be but the store is undergoing maintenance. Does anybody know the normal price of Blazblue, Pure Chess, LEGO Batman 2, and UMvC?

The web store is still up, you just can't buy anything.

Oh, cool. Thanks!

Blazblue will be $12.50 with Plus! DEFINITELY getting that. Might get one of the LEGO games too, but not sure which one between Batman and LOTR. And then Pure Chess which will be $4.

UMvC3 is $39.99
Blazblue is $24.99

I would recommend getting a cart of Blazblue if you're interested in it instead of buying digitally. It's the one cart I own. Not quite as cheap, but with the fact that the game is like 3.1gb digitally and will be replaced sometime this year by BB:CP, I can't see paying $12 to own it forever. Might just be me though. (It's a very good port though and has some connectivity with save file transfer with PS3 version.) ;)

If you were only going to get one, I'd pony up the extra $7 or so to get UMvC3 instead. Also a phenomenal port and it's only 1.3gb. Plus it isn't going to be made obsolete any time soon. It's probably easier to pick up and play too, in terms of combo timing and such... more beginner friendly, I think, if you're not a fighting game connoisseur.

4 free classic games ?! My poor backlog. + dynasty warriors next to buy.

Can't focus 1 at a time?

Since you can back up games to a PC over wifi it's like... 10 minutes before you can just swap games out. Rather do that and make a sandwich over spending the value of a handful of games on storage.

Hmm, might have to do that then. I forgot that it was such a big file size.

UMvC3 uses 4.. It's SFxT that uses all the buttons.
Click to expand...

This is not true!!

Please don't believe this game only uses 4 buttons. It has Light, Medium, Heavy, Special as the face buttons, but it also (and very very importantly) uses L and R for assists and team supers, as well as snap backs.

UMvC3 definitely uses all 6 buttons, just like SFxT.

Anyone else cant connect to the Vita PSN?

Same message for NA Vita store Denzel, "Store is currently undergoing maintenence"

I know that but will it be possible after if I don't deactivate my JPN one?

What you do with your activation doesn't affect your other account. All it does is set server-side whether or not your particular device is authorized to use your downloaded content. The activation stuff is really flaky anyway, I usually don't bother with the deactivation to save time since I always switch back and sometimes I have to reactivate anyway.

Nawe bro, I definitely can't.
When I look at my 4gb... All the home screens look so empty. I want to have 10 homepages LOL. So I just dont play it.

Yea it's unfortunate. If you think the game will appeal to you check it out, videos are a pretty accurate representation of the game. I'm not a huge fan of them but my wife plays everyone she can her hands on.

Same here.
Unless you're selling your Vita, no need to deactivate.

Has anyone experienced this before?

When switching to my Japanese PSN account to play Phantasy Star Online 2, my battery is incorrectly polling itself. It will show 50%+, a minute later I will get a battery warning saying it's low. Checking the icon will show it is indeed red. After a few minutes, I'll get another warning, and another.

It appears my battery returning false information. My battery will indeed be around 50%, but the system keeps changing it's mind. It goes from green, to red, to green, to red, and so on. I've watched the icon visually do this as well.

I tried a hard reset, rebuild data base, different USB cable, etc. Have no idea why.

Reposting this to see if anyone can give me some insight on my problem.
