That is way cool. I never had one but I remember reading about it when FFVIII had come out. So obscure and niche.. makes me feel like a hipster just seeing it.

What's the general consensus on the absolute best, must-play indie titles? I can only buy around five.
Nevermind. I thought Futurlab were handling the PC port themselves, but they aren't.
I like Guacamelee, Hotline Miami, Sine Mora. On PSM, there is also Cytus Lambda and Adventure bar labyrinth that I liked a lot.
Haven't played that many myself though. Heard good things about lone survivor. I also saw BlueMaxima's youtube vid on Castle Storm that looked pretty good.
These are what I would've suggested. Add Spelunky to that, which will give you a ton of bang for your buck.
And then maybe save the rest of that cash for Rogue Legacy whenever that drops.

Guacamelee's on sale tomorrow... you really should get that.
I personally love Rocketbirds: Hardboiled Chicken, but I'd say most of us might agree on:
Guacamelee
Hotline Miami (PS+ free)
Spelunky
Stealth Inc.
Sound Shapes
That might be a platformer overload all at once, so you might be ok with just Guacamelee and Hotline Miami for a bit.
Mind that Guacamelee is coming to PS+ for sure, we just don't know when. Supposedly would be this month but something came up.
Not that you'd regret spending 10 bucks, but...

I'd choose from:
Super Stardust Delta
Hotline Miami
Spelunky
Sound Shapes
Guacamelee
Velocity Ultra
Stealth Inc.
... others I'd consider:
Limbo (if you've never played it)
Mutant Blobs Attack
Thomas Was Alone
Floating Cloud God (charming game, and dirt cheap)
And I want to suggest Lone Survivor even though I haven't picked it up yet.
Not for sure... some EU PS+ titles are still missing for the US PS+
Mortal Kombat, Lumines Electronic Symphony, Unit 13 & Metal Gear Solid HD Collection are some examples, they may never arrive...
At the grand total, the EU users have gotten 31 Vita titles while the US users have gotten 25 titles (excluding PSP titles).
Nice official bundles for the holidays in Japan. Vita seems to be fine till the middle of January at least in Japan.

I think I'm hit by my Chronic Game Case Syndrome.
I just asked my friend he can buy me a copy of God Eater 2 since he's in Japan and might be coming home for Xmas.

It was already annouced Curve was porting it to PS3.
I guess indies must be doing poorly on Steam too then, given how many of them are getting ports to consoles.

On Steam? Unless they shift some of the target times for medals, that'll be absolutely aggravating to do only with kb/m or controller.
Wonder if the bugs will exist or if it will be superior to Vita version by having them fixed.
I went to buy Sine Mora from the Vita store not realizing it was actually free
Edit: Hotline Miami too! :OOO
Did you get a PS+ sub and forget you get free games with it?! LOL
Rogue Legacy will be fantastic, but it's not due til 2014 sometime.
EU, not NA+. I guess we're being punished for 'Blame Canada'...
I paid $12 or so at launch with PS+ discount and it was worth every penny...
So while it does nothing for me personally, it's just another reason EU PS+ is fantastic.
You can now do panoramic photos with the camera app.. What the heck more do you ask for??
Dripping with sarcasm. I like it.
And more reasons to love EU PS+...
Pretty much can't miss, I'd recommend to everyone:
Spelunky
Hotline Miami
Tales from Space: Mutant Blobs Attack
Guacamelee
Sine Mora
Super Stardust HD
Seems legit, but haven't played it fully yet:
Stealth Inc.
Lone Survivor
LIMBO
Cheap and great for the price:
Flying Hamster HD
Kung Fu Rabbit
Good if you like that sort of thing:
escapeVektor
Urban Trial Freestyle
Sound Shapes (although this game was a huge disappointment for me... so I have trouble recommending it.)
Velocity Ultra (another tough recommendation based on some bugs I experienced repeatedly which detracted from my enjoyment.)
Pretty much.
Preach it.

Even with the awesome goodies this month from NA PS+, why do I still feel like EU users are laughing at my happiness?
Guacamelee
Spelunky
Hotline Miami
Sound Shapes
Tales from Space: Mutant Blobs Attack
Velocity Ultra
Rymdkapsel (Playstation Mobile)
Because they are. EU users are getting the better deal on PS+
did i miss the FFIX love fest?!? freaking love that game.
also lol @ takao is he a confirmed toto alt yet?
hotline miami
guacamelee
spelunky

I am betting my money that SRW Z3 will be announced for Vita come January.

Endless glory to the Queendom of Avalon!
Avalon Battle Cry:
OPPAI OPPAI OPPAI
(Also, Sephia is the true ruler of Union, not King Leon.)
Yeah, Minecraft, Hotline Miami, Spelunky and a whole bunch more didn't do well on their first platforms which is why they all came elsewhere. That's the general rule of porting.
Because we're superior in every way.

And I just bought the game too!
You didn't know they were going to end the service?
It was announced 2 or 3 months ago, I think.

I knew it was going to end soon but not this soon. I was hoping to join a few wars before it ended. I still appreciate the game but I will likely miss this feature very much. I'll just wait for a sequel.
About Z3, the faster they make the game, the faster they'll take my money. I want some movie mech upgrades and a final ending. I'm really a fan of the series and finished each Z game 4 times. Can't wait how OP 00 QuanT and a few super robots like Gurren Lagann will be.

May be tardy to the party, but just completed hotline miami. Gameplay was pretty steller. It definitely makes the cut of games to keep on vita to chip away at trophies at a later date. Good job HM.
Now have a nice two week rest period of crappy sales so i can catch up on my backlogged games.
And damn! That update was fast...time to rearrange bubbles...
Ooo cant wait for Tearaway and Ys!!!

Talking about the best indie games on Vita, I have not seen mentioned Quell Memento, is a really nice puzzle game, there is a demo in the Store if you want to give it a try.
Some of my favourites:
Guacamelee
Hotline Miami
Spelunky
Super Stardust Delta
Jet Set Radio
Malicious Rebirth
Sound Shapes
I watched part of BlueMaxima's extensive video (quite a lot of it was building the castle but he tells you when to skip if you want, seems like he knows the game pretty well and gives tips) -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6k5gzQBxg-o
Seems fun, will be getting it if priced okay - still didn't finish the video yet though
-before I slept yesterday night (and my laptop ran out of juice) did the original level in the impossible game in 127 practice goes. Damn hard.
Nice interview, thanks for posting, will be grabbing this!
the guy has 9 pet sheep?

Has anyone else still had that problem? I can't believe it's taken so long to fix that.
Not sure if new. Thought it was releasing sooner. Had an email update from cduniverse about date changed to 27th November for Ys Celcetta. I import so yeah CDuniverse works out well for most my stuff and it bills me upon ordering so can pay for a bunch of games at start of the year and forget until they arrive/email confirmation on shipped items
"The producers/manufacturers of this item have decided to change its release date to 11/27/2013. You do not need to respond. We ask for your patience, as we have no control over the release dates of our products."

is this rumored? I haven't touched anything SRW since ogs2Yup!! I should actually beat the game one of these days. I have the PSP version after all.^ I thought your avatar looked familiar, looking now
The impossible game, already have it but I don't think I played it!
evil! fair warning though
love the soundtrack, rated
first level - 251 attempts (practice of course) really enjoying it, trying the original one now
no
Good thing the US gets not screwed in literally every single other way then
.It doesn't seem to be, but you should reserve it in the OT thread.
Edit: Most OTs are for western release, but I think the general procedure is that you should label your OT as "Import" if you want to do one for the Japanese release.
That TuneIn app hit the store today.
Audio doesn't work on background, but that I already expected. But it's also one of those apps that can't be launched alongside a game for example (it'll prompt you to close one or the other) and you can't turn the screen off manually; pressing the power button will put the app to sleep as well, but if you don't touch the Vita for 5min the screen fades out with it still running.
Not a bad app, but these system quirks...

Nope.
Man, a part of me want a homebrewed Vita for emulators (I want to play SMW lately, and I love Vita's D-Pad). On the other hand, it won't be good for the Vita itself...

Persona 4 Golden - best vita game so far

Playstation All Stars - hated it
Silent Hill Book of Memories - liked it
Played the killzone beta, it was okay, I'm not a FPS kinda guy
