There are tons of JRPGs for the Vita in Japan, now. Probably more than the 3DS has, despite the latter's longer life.
If people actually bought Vitas/JRPGs in the West, though, they'd make their way over. Also, if Namco wasn't such a jerk (Tales of) and localization didn't take so long (a few other titles).
despite me normally being annoyed at namco over the tales series, I can't even remotely being to give them a hard time for not bringing over the vita remakes, I know I sure as hell wouldn't if I was them. It's a lot of time and effort to localize them, for what at best would be a small profit, but more likely would be a loss of money. If they didn't dub them it would take a bit less time, but it still costs money to license the japanese voices outside of japan, just not worth it for the 25-75k sales they would get.
Now I don't really get why they aren't at least testing the waters with pirate warriors as that wouldn't take a lot of time, but it's quite possible there are a lot of hidden costs with it given it's one piece, and perhaps adding a vita version to the english release list increases the costs for the voice work by quite a bit.
Beyond that JRPGs in general take a while to localize, for the smaller companies it could easily take 12-18 months to localize if they weren't given access to them until after the game launched in japan meaning that some of those japanese rpgs could already be in the works of localization from the smaller companies and they just aren't far enough along to be announced yet.
White PSP sure wasn't.
White just has the unfortunate effect of making a turned off PSP/Vita look about 20% thicker than it actually is.
Black really is slimming when it comes to handhelds imo.

i think you reason for wanting a black is just...because you put it in the stand next to all your other gadgets...
i dont leave mine near my ps3/tv so i prefer the sex white, else i'd go black.
From a gaming point of view, this firmware update fixes some lag issues in games Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus 2 and New Little Kings Story
can't say the source! Can anyone confirm this?
Really? Hope that's true. Will copy over NLKS from my PC later to test it out.

Booo I thought we got a new update and got excited. Lol
Lol, for some reason I find that hard to believe.
Really? Why can't you say the source?
It is a new update, but it didn't seem to add any new features of note. Just the usual stability fixes.

Oh well. Thanks for clearing that up.
You win OT of the day/week/month and probably year.
I feel I haven't done a very good job explaining my reasoning for not choosing to purchase. I love rhythm games and I feel like if I purchased DJMax, it would completely dissolve my willpower to play any other game on my backlog. rhythm games have a tendency to overwhelm my ability to play any other type of game for months at a time since they are so easy to sit down and play for small chunks. Then the need to keep improving results in hours upon hours spent playing the same tracks, just destroying my core gaming time. I'm really not all that great at the genre to start with, lol. I am merely using my indifference to J/K-Pop as a genre as one of the reasons I am not purchasing this game.
I want to get it, but I don't want to get it.
Fucking AT&T are still processing my 32GB MC order. I ordered as soon as Wario had the thread up
Anybody else still waiting on them?
Yes, just be patient.

Its ATT, don't expect fast service.
On that note I hope to get it by Friday.
Weird ass crossover alert:
Picotto Knights (Game Arts) will include some Army Corps of Hell (Square-Enix) stuff.
that's cool... gung ho needs to finish localizing it and releasing it on the NA psn already...
and sega needs to release their english version of their free game (i think it involved dragon's I can't remember the name right now) already as well.
i believe when you stick a memory card with data on it in a different vita it will require you to reformat the memory card to use it... not 100% though.
ah, guess i was wrong, that's cool then.
Edit whoops too late
only if u have different account on the vita! if its the same account there is no need to do it!
Oh cool, thanks. Restoring 16GB would've take ages :/

Holy crap at the TomB patch.
I just put up north of 8 million.
Followed by a 6.5 million. Getting leveled to get that max upgrades trophy won't be so bad now... if only they dropped the requirement for the 100 hour trophy. :lol

Street Fighter X Tekken is $22 at Play-Asia this week
http://www.play-asia.com/Street_Fighter_X_Tekken/paOS-13-71-1ab-49-en-70-49yu.html
Kind of considering it~

What's your set up? All I got was 2million, which is low considering what I get most weeks.
Has anyone else played or is anyone currently playing Knytt Underground? I bought it after trying the demo and for some reason I find it super addicting. I think it's the OCD in me trying to clear every room. There's an item collecting element, there's quests, there's exploration, a bit of puzzle solving, a bit of storyline and humour. Surprisingly fun.

There's an LGBT character in the game named Cilia which is pretty cool.

I heard good things on here, installed it, played about 20 minutes and promptly deleted it.
Did not understand what I'm supposed to do at all and almost no story
I feel like I was just missing something though

By the way, how long have youtube links opened in the youtube app? I hadn't heard about that being fixed, but this morning I tried it with the player one podcast youtube link from twitter, and the youtube page it links to showed a proper icon, and tapping it started the movie in the youtube app, just as I'd always hoped it would.
Was that in the last update? It can't have been there much longer than that, because it's something I regularly try.

I gave a second chance to Hardboiled Chicken - seems i was too harsh first time as it felt much better - but still character feels a bit slow.

Yeah, I can see why some people wouldn't like it. It can be quite tedious at times.
However, the game doesn't really hit its stride until Chapter 3. The storyline picks up in Chapter 3 and you unlock your form changing ability. You learn all about the history of the war, the religion and science in this universe, the different creatures and peoples that inhabit the world, etc. Chapter 1 and 2 are both pretty short. They don't give you a lot of direction, which I assume is part of their push to get you to explore, but it's mostly just collecting stuff to trade to people so they'll unlock doors.

Patch? Might have to give it a spin tonight, only trophy I need now is the 100 hours one
Wat there was a Picotto Knights crossover with Super Sentai (Power Rangers)?! http://news.dengeki.com/elem/000/000/587/587312/
It was announced for the west, then nothing ... Gungho published Dokuro, and a bunch of PSone Imports so far.

I watched another video of Dokuro and finally decided to get it just before the sale ends. I'm getting Lumines for sure tomorrow.With an earlier purchase of $8 I'll be at $28. 2weeks to go, might find $22 worth of stuff to get me to $50.
Thx, I hope we'll hear more about it soon.
If it's a bit like Castle Crashers then I'll bite for sure (isn't it very cheap as well ? or freemium ?).
Can't be emphasised enough. I really wonder why chapters 1 and 2 exist in their current form - they should have been combined into an intro/tutorial. So many people are turned off before they actually get to the game itself.

Try to get over my 160M.
Anyway, will download ASAP.
I've someone on my friends list that was consistently hitting over 120M I really cannot see how people are getting that much extra time constantly. Are you pausing it to assess your next move from the pause screen, I think their longest game was something like 80 minutes!
I use the bonus time (orange) and extra item (purple) totems and then bombs, lightning and timer bonuses.
Am I missing a better combo of extras to try using? Also do you ever bother with switching the direction of the falling blocks? I always felt that added an unneccesary complication to the game.
Not possible. Pause screen removes all the gems from the board!
