At least with those I got a few minutes of play out of. I played through the tutorial and then a puzzle with Treasure Park, though "uhh...what?" and have no intention of ever using it again.

You know, this is really weird. When I buy stuff directly from the Vita Store, I have no problems. But now I'm trying to download the Plants vs Zombies table from ZP2, and it makes me add funds to my account. I try to do it but it says that the information on my card is invalid. WTF?
Apparently Sega is kinda lukewarm with Miku F's sales performance.

basically saying 'eh.. with this sales data... it might be hard for us to make F2'.
Sony Japan has some shit ton of works to do.

It's a bit weird how they are only selling packs of tables from the ingame menu, but whatever. Just bought the Plants vs. Zombies table. Seems cool after one round.

If you've never played an MGS game before I'd say you might want to purchase the first one if it's available in your country. MGS3 is the second best game in the series (I really liked 4), but it's not exactly a good starting point for the franchise. You might find it really difficult if you're not used to the stealth/mechanics gameplay of the MGS franchise.
MGS1 should be ~$10 via the PSN and will be a great place to find out if the franchise is for you.

Everyone's been hitting the bombs on mine, so that feels good, at least!
And I plan on keeping Rosie for a little while, at least. Maybe switch out a different Rosie avatar like I did yesterday? She's one of my favorite VC characters(going through the game now), along with Welkin and Largo. Didn't meet many of the villains yet, so we'll see...
And it didn't even do that bad. At retail, it sold a little over 150k and even greatly boosted Vita sales in the first week.
Nah not really worth just 6~$(45KR) difference between 1 and 3 and I strongly dislike the PS1 resolution on the Vita so I'm sticking with 2D games.
Apparently this dude on Twitter just saying "Hey guys, buy more Project Diva plz". I'd think it would be especially too early to call it a day on the sales of Diva f.

Then go for it. MGS3 is one of the best experiences I've ever had playing a game.

i need a bumper for the vita. noticed my hand gets moist when i hold it in portrait mode.
Ugh, though vertical orientation in ZP2 is a nice idea on paper, it's actually tremendously awkward to hold and using the touchscreen to trigger the flippers really stinks. Having to keep my fingers hovering over the screen at all times makes timing too difficult, and holding the system is even more awkward. :|
What do.
Also, I wish the trials were just a tad longer. I'm not getting a feel for the tables in so little time.

Anyway maybe Vita problem is really that development costs are too high. I remember that when Sony claimed that porting from PS3 to PSV is a cheap work I thought:"Ok but PS3 was an expensive development console so cheaper than PS3 doesn't mean cheap at all... and most of all what's the price of develop a Vita game not having PS3 base material?"
It seems that the answer lies on the Sega statement...

The PvZ table seems pretty easy. Multiballs and jackpots are pretty straightforward and I only rarely lose a ball. Makes it almost a bit tedious to have one round go on for so long.
After two games I figured it out. Have you gotten the gist of it yet?

How many copies did older Miku sell on the PSP ?
Perhaps he's worried about the current install base. Need a higher sales % to continue raking in $$$ ?
In an earlier interview, I think some Sony exec mentioned that it took them about 8 months to make Wipeout for Vita.
Tearaway seems to be made by a 15 man core team.
I doubt Miku's level of graphics is cost prohibitive though.
If I were Sega, I am probably looking at the opportunity cost, rather than the actual cost. e.g., Using the same team on other platforms will likely yield much better result, especially if Sony doesn't chip in the cost for Vita exclusivity.
Can you see the stats for your own level ?
I tested with a simple one and I think I sent it out via Near. Haven't received any notifications or news about my level. I don't see other new levels too.
And yes, Treasure Park is convoluted like Near. Is the UI done by the same team ? They need to be educated in usability.

It's really confusing. I don't think you can see who plays your level via near, but you can see the stats if you give/get levels to your friends? It's weird.
Thanks ! We'll have to see how Japanese Vita users react to this piece of info then. ^_^
Just been into Sainsburys and they had FIFA on Vita for £13. Pretty sure it was £13.
I know it's close to being replaced by FIFA13 but as a FIFA fan I can't really afford to shell out £70-£80 to have FIFA13 on both my Vita and home console.
So this could be a good solution to FIFA'ing on the go.

Nice to see people talking about Project DIVA f, literally the 2nd game I've ever played on my Vita. Even went through the trouble of acquiring a second memory card at the 11th hour (thanks firmware 1.8) so I could switch to my JP PSN in anticipation of future DLC. I hope DLC actually comes out or switching accounts will have been a waste of time and money =/ If you're interested in Project DIVA, don't forget we have a thread for that~
Going to be switching back for DJ MAX Technika Tune and Persona 4 Golden, whenever they actually come out.

Too bad~ Another game wasted because of usability issues. Shuhei really needs to make sure games are accessible. Look at Demon's Souls. It's easy to pick up and go, but still challenging for core gamers.
Treasure Park is similar to Minesweeper but for the life of me, I can't figure it out. ^_^
And I love playing Minesweeper.

DJMax is coming out at the end of the month in Japan. I need a NA releasedate. :/
Set auto-updates and auto-download then. Wouldn't that suit your desires?
Well I'm glad we all agree :|
I really was afraid that it might just be my own incompetence
How and where ?

I think I am finally ready to jump on the vita......I am looking forward to Assassins Creed, and that bundle seems like a good deal, but I would probably pick one up now if I could get a similar packaged deal. I missed out on some of the gift card and free game deals a while back, and that madden deal at amazon is no good since I have ZERO love of sports games. Any place out there with a deal right now for a vita, game and memory card for 249? If not I guess I will wait till October.
I still have to use Near... (ie: other people have to use Near and send me this shit. That isn't happening)

If any NA Vita-ers haven't taken the plunge yet Best Buy has a $15 off coupon for the MGS Collection.

You can get puzzles via your friends list. Don't need to rely on Near.

Free Vita & PS3 Zen Pinball 2 thanks to have bought Zen Pinball 1.
Great, one of my most anticipated Vita games.
Time to play it.
You get Zen Pinball 2 free because you have ZP1? How much does it cost?
