Wow tonight is awesome for vita. Rayman legends vita, toukiden and meruru english release, and confirmation for yakuza vita in development. I hope this one come to the west eventually.
 
My VitaGAF track record is getting pretty good. Dragon's Crown (vs. Toto), Toukiden (vs. Takao).

Watch, Dragon Quest 8 HD (vs. reality) will be next.
 
Wow, Rayman Origins has a lot of ratings on the EU store, I guess the game sold well?
Well enough to warrant another game yeah. I'm pretty sure it's been well discounted as well at some point.

PS+ in a few weeks should do wonders for the EU ratings as well.
 
Do we have any idea of the summer / fall release lineup for the Vita? My Vita battery died recently after not being turned on for a good month. I'm wondering what is coming out that I should look forward to.
 
In one(two?) day we got rayman legends, toukiden and atelier meruru localizations and the hint of a yakuza game, i should be happy, instead i continue to be sad for ff agito :(

Well, 13 more days until E3. But the Pre-E3 news is better than expected. Don't forget Ragnarok Odyssey Ace confirmation as well.
 
We already know the Vita already has HDMI out, the devkit units can do it.

It's pretty clear that Sony is artificially keeping this feature away from the consumer so it won't cannibalize their vertical integration with the PS3/PS4.

Devkits are different from regular Vitas. Regular vitas don't have hdmi out.
 
Not at all, no. Easily my most regrettable Vita purchase. Even more so than Mortal Kombat
What did you expect as you went in, out of curiosity? It's fun, challenging (very challenging in some places, if you're looking to go for 100%) and beautiful. :)

EDIT: OK, I'm talking about Rayman Origins. Are you talking about Ragnarok? >_<
 
Starting next week in the US and PAL territories, Let's Fish! Hooked on will be half off for PlayStation Plus members.

I think I'm finally going to bite on this. I've been wanting a fishing game on Vita and this is pretty much it, so. Plus, platinum trophy!

Is that like the current RO, or is it going to be different?

My understanding is that it's an enhanced version, but here's a blurb from siliconera:

"The game is a refined version of Ragnarok Odyssey, and will contain all the DLC from the original game, as well as an extra episode after the ending."

It also has that final game tower that is like a randomized dungeon? I really need to finish the original though, I want to platinum it. Is anyone still playing RO?

This is why acronyms can be bad.

That was my point, they already have it implemented, the reasons for not having it on consumer units are not technical.

Dev kits have an HDMI out port, unlike the consumer Vita.
 
I didn't care for Rayman Origins as well, but I can appreciate that other people like it. Ragnarok seems like people are choosing the wrong game entirely if you want to play something from that genre.

I tried Ragnarok's demo and almost puked. I don't usually play demos, glad that I did that one time.

At the time, I was anticipating it to be like Phantasy Star, or something similar. I didn't find the combat enjoyable at all. The lack of leveling system is dumb IMO. It's all based on gear, but not done well like Monster Hunter.

This is why i need a DeLorean
 
Haven't played RO since I platinumed it, sorry Schobeleth. Also got my last 5 cards (end game bosses) from some random guy as thanks for scanning some pages of the artbook that came with it so I can't near those ones away. No one seems willing to give up end game boss cards for free, unless you're really lucky. Hopefully RO Ace has no card trophy.
 
Guess I'll be getting soon a case for my Vita. Because I do not travel with it and I mostly play at home I decided to go for a clean look instead of protection. Maybe by the end of the next week I may have it.
 
Tecmo Koei confirms Atelier Meruru Plus and Toukiden for the West.

WOOOO
Nice! I'll probably pick up Toukiden, then.

Soul Sacrifice DLC coming to EU tomorrow such as new bosses, new area, new Black Rite:

Everything is free and you'll need to DL a new update.
Oh my lord, that header image is something else. Love Soul Sacrifice art.

WOOOO

Not sure if I should feign hope for a physical release of Meruru.

It's especially frustrating not only due to my reservations about digital-only games, but that Atelier games are the -least- suited games for DD only. It's something you can beat, not endless (ala Life sims), you can't leave it on your card to play whenever (because it's an ungodly 3GB), and it has such nice artwork I'd love to have a box for..

Again wishing for a compromise: Vita case with a Memory Card slot and a download card inside. Download the game onto a spare 4GB, put it in the case. Pseudo-physical copy! Anyone?
 
Now I have at least 1 game per month lol

Muramasa
Dragon's Crown
Ys Celceta
Killzone Mercenary
Tearaway
Toukiden
Rayman Origins
