Yeah, this has just gotten ridiculous. I wonder how many people bought it and expected it to have psone support based on the product description on Amazon. I just looked it up and yep, it's still there.

Just embarrassing that this is still not ready.
Got the last copy of Mortal Kombat at my Gamestop.
I did the store pick-up option at midnight or so, as I was going to be running errands in town today.
I got to the store around noon (the store opens at 10) tand I get out the words, "I had an online pick up for Morta...." - Me
"Oh okay you had the MK game!" - Sales clerk
"Yeah" - Me
"Oh okay well I put it back on the shelf because people who have been using online pick up, havent been getting the games lately. This is the last copy!" - Sales Clerk
"Don't you uh, hold them for 24 hours." - Me
"Uh well...." - Sales Clerk
Just a weird experience in general.

The comics bit is the worst offense considering it's been removed from the store altogether.
Persona 4 Golden. Although if you want a co-op game, then Ragnarok Odyssey.
Persona 4 by far but I'm still really hyped for RO!

Avoid. I liked it well enough at first, but it's a nearly broken grind a thon, with little /no reward. Wishing I didn't buy it digitally - at least I could have recouped some cost - by selling it off..
Do you like traditional jrpg or more action orientated rpgs?
Persona 4
I rarely like post SNES jrpgs or even Japanese games very often but Persona 4 is probably my favorite game of all time.

WELCOME
make sure you get gravity rush sometime, too, if you want a unique experience :3
If you ever want to or going to try that genre, then get Gods Eater Burst instead of Monster Hunter Unite, it's the superior game ( actually good game unlike that boring grind fest called MH) and easier for new comers.
As for Persona, yeah that a good call (by your coin) P4 and P4G will be a good start for you, then you can play P2 and P1 too, just don't P3P.
Yup, get Gravity Rush. (also Hot Shot Golf and Mutant Blobs Attack).

Wow that does look pretty cool.
Currently waiting for deals/price drops on Gravity Rush and Uncharted. My hopes are that around Black Friday time there will be some Vita game deals

I didn't realize the Mortal Kombat story mode had so many fights with different characters. It's perfect for learning moves. I feel dumb now for avoiding the game since I bought it on release thinking I would need to go into some kind of training mode to figure out how to play before actually playing it for fun. It seems more accessible than the other fighting games on the system. I also own MVC3 which doesn't do enough to discourage a noob like me from mashing buttons and never learning anything.
Yup. Story mode is great except you CAN'T SKIP CUTSCENES! When you return to story mode, it drops you in a cutscene which you've probably already seen. Sucks if it's a long one.
Resistance did the same thing. You always returned to the beginning of each chapters movie, which was unskippable. So stupid.

Yeah I consider myself decent at Mortal Kombat, and I have tried countless times to get into MVC3 but it's just impossible for me to play it without thinking I suck haha

This has happened to me numerous times with MK, both Vita and consoles. So lame. ):
Have a good time, eh?
Ragnarok Odyssey - Summer 2012
New Little King's Story - Summer 2012
I just want those two games before classes start again in the last week of August. What are the chances of that happening at this point?
Neither game has a solid release date, so I think it's unlikely. I wish the Vita game rush would happen before school starts, but I guess that's too much to ask for.
Though in the case of Mortal Kombat, you can skip the cutscenes when/if you replay the story mode.Agree it is a dumb move, not letting you skip them normally; especially if you had to quit moments earlier.
Also as a reminder, when playing multi (or training solo); if you select an arena by pressing Start you can hear to the retro-version of that song. For the 3 people that remember some of the tunes of the original games.
And regarding alt-costumes, this can be chosen by selecting a character and pressing Start.
By default:
And last but no least: Scorpion, Sub-Zero and Reptile are the only ones that have a third (retro) Fatality.
An yep..I finally jumped in...

By default:

- Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Ermac and Reptile has their MKI costume.
- Smoke, Noob-Saibot has their MKII costume.
- Cyrax, Sektor, Sub-Zero and Cyber Sub-Zero has their MK3 costumes.
- Every other original-alternate costume is either unlocked by finishing Ladder Mode (you can save time by finishing in Tag aladder -2 characters-) or purchased on the Krypt. Except for Cyber Sub-Zero, who doesn't have an unlockable alt outside his retro. While Kenshi, Rain and Skarlet don't have alternate costumes neither, unlocked this way, but a few unlocked through the bonus challenge Tower.
- Freddy doesn't have any alt costume.
- A special costume for Mileena is unlocked by finishing the last mission of the original Challenge Tower.
- Extra costumes for Skarlet (extra, MKII, MK3), Kenshi (extra), Rain (MK3), Ermac (MKII, MK3), Sub-Zero (MKII, UMK3), Scorpion (MKII, UMK3), Reptile (MKII, UMK3), Smoke (UMK3 -human-), Mileena (MKII) and Noob Saibot (UMK3).
And last but no least: Scorpion, Sub-Zero and Reptile are the only ones that have a third (retro) Fatality.

Isn't the Chinese/English version of Ragnarok Odyssey supposed to be released in two weeks? Hopefully it doesn't take XSEED too long to bring the game to the US.
Oh, I didn't know that. Amazon has it set for August 21st, but I've heard it's coming out in September, so it seems like it's still up in the air.

What are some good Minis? Besides Velocity.

Where is my Heart? and Pix'N Love Rush are both pretty cool.

MK vita looks much better in person than the videos and screens suggested.
It's a fantastic port and so far I'm digging the new challenge room stuff.

Monsters (Probably) Stole My Princess is pretty great, along with Wizorb.
It doesn't get mentioned often, but there's also Nom Nation which is a really nice and original 2D platformer.

Following this Siliconera article, they asked XSEED recently and there is no current release date for the game sadly. But you can pick up a Hong Kong version of the game on August 16th.
It's a shame, because I was *really* looking forward to playing it on the 21st.

No Internet access !

I guess my trusty Vita and MacBook Air will be put to good use.

They need to put all the upcoming games in a small list at the top of the thread. Having to scroll through all of them is annoying as hell.

Doubt it -- there's no reason to, you can't get the theme, so pre-order really doesn't get you anything bonus. :|

Trust me, I tried. My PS3 died Tuesday when I turned it on to preorder, since I couldn't do it on my Vita.
AFAIK, you still get the discount if you're ps+ next week when it drops.
BlueMaxima

Yeah, the discount will probably continue when it comes out.

Too bad that people consider velocity a must buy but not minis like archibald's adventures(my favorite minis ever) only because most of the people only recently discovered minis.
And absolutely don't buy monster probably stolen my princess, it lasts 10 minutes(no kidding!)
