Vita PSN Game & Service Thread | March 2013 | Carving an Independent niche

I want to own at least every NA Vita release.... and yet.. I can't bring myself to purchase Harry Potter for cheap.

You own the MMA game too?

Top of the page; buy Life of Pixel in the PlayStation Mobile section for $1.99:

Getting full memory card again :(

anyway,Just went to delete all the useless one time trash I usually keep in the last page of Vita and

I was shocked,I didn't bought too much PSM trash games from the beginning of 2013,three are free,and they didn't even filled my garbage page as I still have one empty slot.

I really need to just stop buying anything from PSM as the quality is pure vomit %99.9 of the time.

damn PSM,just stop existing already.

You couldn't be more wrong about; but, from you, I would expect no less. Four of those games (Life of Pixel, Aqua Kitty, Switch Galaxy, and Gun Commando) are terrific PSM titles that, IMHO, put most other mobile titles to shame.

PSM is a terrific platform, especially in that it offers some serious validity to the argument that physical controls make for much better gaming experiences.
 
if you have game cards and other memory card get a vita plastic card case (there are many types of them).
Thanks. I snagged a couple off amazon

I now have a full card of excellent PSOne games. I will say I'm really surprised that the vita doesn't support either the spyro, crash bandicoot games on vita. And not ffv as well?
 
nope the anniversary sale ended on the 12th, there was no extra week that a number of people were trying to claim there was despite the banner for the sale clearly saying the sale would end on the 12th.

the ubisoft sale is something completely separate.

Oh, okay. I knew that sale was over on the 12th, I just thought I heard/read somewhere that there were going to be different anniversary sales all month. Oh well!
 
I knew that silly.
It just irks me.

Sly Cooper 4 bombed.
Sly Cooper 4 was a bomba.

:\

So why did the Internet start using a random Spanish word to replace a perfectly good and shorter english word?
Oh, Internet...

In fact, when you say that something is "la bomba" in spanish, actually you are saying that is pretty cool. "This game is a bomba", "Este juego es la bomba" means that is an awesome game, so I was very surprised (and confused) the first time that I read one game was a bomba in the neoGAF negative aception. Anyway, I think it's an old-fashioned colloquial expression (in spanish).

MonHun Tri (the top dog IP of this genre) on Wii (freaking winner of last gen) sold between 143k to 108k going with april 2010 npd numbers.

no way in hell SS on Vita can do anything close to 80K in its first week.
He said 80k between north America and Europe. I hardly see how a comparison with npd numbers is apt. I think 80 k is completely achievable.

80k is not gonna happen.

The game had great marketing in Japan (for a Vita game, anyway), but in NA and Europe, it'll surely get the same unceremonious stealth dump that every game not called Call of Duty and Assassin's Creed has gotten.

Hahaha, yeah, I have a decent understanding of Spanish; that's why I didn't think that's where it came from... just another stupid Internet meme it seems.

Thanks though, you made me laugh.

Sly Cooper 4 didn't bomb at all, it had the best opening month of a Sly game.

I wasn't saying it did -- I was demonstrating the context of how stupid the word is compared to the original and used Takao's post (Sly 4 wasn't a total bomba) as the subject. Sorry for the confusion if you thought I was contradicting him.

Above 117k

Better than PS All-Stars, and the last Jak & Daxter.

Which Jak? The HD collection?
 
Are you a PS+ subscriber? If not, the sale price is $19.

I am but my account is mexican. Would that have something to do?

What, wiith my mexican account the vita games do not show up on the sale... on the us account they do...

Nice one Ubisoft !

Two copies of Ridge Racer and 3 4gb memory cards? What's wrong with that guy?

Don't get it. I have it and I though I only have 3 trophies left, I can't bring myself to plat it.
 
Anyone have a link handy to that promo for the spend $50 by end of March get $10 back?

I want to read the fine print, cause I would consider grabbing Life of Pixel or Switch Galaxy if they count. Last time they ran the promo, I want to say it was worded that "as long as the money was spent out of your PSN/SEN wallet, you get credit for the purchase".

Life ofpixel is 1.99 man. Just get it.
 
The vita really needs new announcements and killer apps.

GTA/MGS/GT/console equivalent cod.../better AC.

I know you guys are all vita lovers, and I am too of the hardware, but when I look at its software, there are hardly any amazing games that define a console.

What games do you think define the vita right now?

I think gravity rush

It's too late for all of those. Sony should've paid for them, but they didn't.
 
I dont understand why they didnt look at PSP's biggest hits.

I guess they got a small budget and they blow it on AC and COD, good picks if they were mainline and not spin-off/broken,so that failed and I don't really blame Sony(especially in the COD situation which happens to other stupid publishers like SEGA too).

getting a new GTA is will required unbelievable moneyhatt,even for something like SA Stories because that how R* rolls thesedays,MGS I think is not as popular brand any more, see MGR npd sales, the Metal Gear IP is just a thing of the past and I don't think they will get a Kojima game because he is busy with his new game.GT..well it's very hard to make PD guys even go to work nowdays...and Nintendo locked MonHun and Sony just can't outbid them.

As someone with a similar goal, I say go for it. It's certainly a lot better than Supremacy MMA...and Ben 10 racing...and Spy Hunter...and Dungeon Hunter Alliance...and Army Corps of Hell...and...hmm. It's really not that bad, when you compare it to every single game that's come out for the Vita in North America.

My guess is, the same reason they didn't call the Vita the PSP2. They wanted something different...

Which as a huge PSP fan, is probably the big reason I really am disappointed with the Vita. I wanted a repeat of the PSP2's games.

Heh, what kind of goals do you have?
And yeah, could be worse.
 
Hasn't Kojima said that he love handhelds? I really hope he develops a MGS for the Vita in the future, once he finishes the other stuff. But then he developed PW without any console one at the time, so maybe he won't.

in a recent interview he was kinda salty/upset on Sony/Mark Cerny and how they didn't treat him as the VIP he was 15 years ago, I don't think we'll see anything from Kojipro on Vita.

i'd say uncharted.

Ridge Racer.
 
I don't know either. There were Call of Duty and Assassin's Creed games on PSP. They weren't the best sellers on that platform.



Uncharted is already on Vita, and we've seen how well it's done with that game. Another one isn't going to help sales.

i was referring to what game defines the vita...not one that should come out for it

i was just browsing IGNs upcoming ps vita games....and it lists Guacamelee for March - gotta be a placeholder right?!
 
I really doubt Kojima will ever develop an original game for Vita. Back before the machine was released he was very excited about porting games to it rather than developing original titles.
 
I haven't played that one, guess i could get it for the VITA... but i hope they'll make an HD version of it the same way they're doing with Ratchet Deadlocked.

The remaining three Jak & Daxter games were all developed by different studios. I'm not sure there has been HD remasters involving the work of a variety of companies.
 
i dont think its too farfetched (a little but not alot). they couldnt bother to give us PW HD even though its one of the best psp games out there or even give us the OG version for close to a year....and charge 20 clams to boot
I mean more the dumb "sad they didn't treat me like a VIP thing".
