Use Black Market ! It got my a few treasures I missed out. Once you activate it, the trading is semi-automatic.

Any fan of Chie is a friend of mine. Consider yourself added!
Okami probably couldn't get a retail release on Vita, and if the publishers are seeing weak PSN exclusive attachrates, it's probably not viable.
Nope, not yet, but I think I might get it later

Rage quitting in UMvC3 is definitely a problem on the vita. I've gone through six matches at a time (one stretch) that all had that result.
In order for a match to count on the vita, the game has to specifically say which player won. EX : "player 1 wins"
At this point, you can see a match being added to your win streak. I'm ranked number #8 on the total wins leader board so you can imagine how many times I've went through this.
After 2500+ ranked matches, you tend to know what to look for as far as rage quitters are concerned. Generally, these players are terrible. If you are semi-decent at the game, you will win 90% + against these type of players.
The only time I get bothered by the quitting is when the guy seemingly has a legit record with losses, you lose to him, then find him again and win only to have him quit.
I think the bigger problem is the auto-block + phoenix teams. That's a little broken IMO

Maybe not. I'm not interested in time killer games. MK bonus tower is my go-to "time killer"
Crimson Gem Saga? It's on sale for $7.50

It's Capcom - people give it a rest they are too deep in the nintendo pocket to release anything serious on Vita

Yep and Knights in the Nightmare is a very unique game and it is $7.50 as well. Story is a bit dense and slow paced but it is all skippable if you rather skip through it.

I actually got both Crimsom and Knights but havent started them. I'm hoping to beat a JRPG on my vita before starting another one.
And I assume those are LTD sales? Ouch. Pretty rough.
Retail only ?
IMHO I had more fun with Modnation Vita than Wipeout. I accept that Modnation gets really laggy after you get to the last circuit, but it was a really fun game. No online wasn't too much of a bother. Wipeout's online is kind of annoying since the difficulty in the goals rank up pretty fast. With just a patch Modnation could become a great game instead of a good (or in most people's opinion "meh" game).
All is right in the world again. One step closer to a Gravity Rush sequel?
NPD only tracks retail.

Man, Gravity Rush should have done better
its such a unique title, in that the art style and gameplay mechanics exude charm and whimsy and creativity. I always pegged the game as a system seller/unique proposition for the system, pre-release. It really speaks volumes about how the title was mismanaged by SCE, in the sense of releasing too late after launch. The game would have pulled significantly better numbers, if it were available at launch in all territories. Definitely deserved better.I'll add you too! And thanks for the welcome

Actually it's not suprising - most games like this end with bad sales numbers.

Well I just wanted to say thanks to those who recommended god eater burst.
Yeah it's a PSP game, but I missed out on it so all is ok there.
At first the game was kind of overwhelming with all of the bullets, moves, database articles, terminals,etc, but playing the tutorials helped out a bunch. Now I have actually had some longer battles and the game is a ton of fun.

I understand Sony's reasoning behind not showing digital sales but i feel like numbers from the PSN store are much bigger and would provide publishers as well as devs with a positive outlook on the platform. I've found titles like Mutant Blobs and Unit 13 in pretty much every vita I've seen, with Unit 13 being a digital download instead of a retail copy.
*nod* *nod* Then you won't see my contribution there. Did they say about a third is consumed digitally ?

No, it says nothing about it coming too late after launch. Those numbers are only June's NPD, meaning Gravity Rush was on sale for like 18 days. Games that come early in the life of a platform tend to have long tails so assuming Vita can start picking up those numbers will increase. SCEA (unsurprisingly) did just stealth release the game though. lol what are commercials

The demo for gravity rush didn't really make me want to buy the game and take the risk. The flight/float mechanism seemed very interesting, but the battles in the demo felt a little button-mashy. It seemed like a game I'd want to check out, but not at $40.
One of the execs said DD sales for Vita is a few times higher than expected. We don't have any hard numbers for DD.
Does NPD track NA only ? Or does it include Latin America data as well ?
No Vita games have physical manuals. They're all digital. Press the book icon on the live area to find it.

not strictly true. My MGS collection has a manual. I think its the only one that does though.
The manuals are all available digitally anyway. On the start screen (home screen, what ever its called) the option for it is at the top.
No, Mutant Blob Attacks is a legitimately good platformer. It's a cheap PSN game so it lacks the volume of retail platformers, but it's still a game very much worth investing time & money in.

It's right: you don't get manuals in Vita cases.
SCE's publishing partners do know PSN figures. SCE does talk to third parties.
Not in the US, but some do in other regions! The more you know.

I was basically forced to get a 4gb memory card when I bought my vita (had nothing else). The idea of DD never really appealed to me for a lack of space and the inability to share games with friends.

This is what made me stop playing marvel online. Rage quitting after every match killed it for me. Their fraud records were warning signs. I used to love messaging people after a drop letting them know of their bitchassness. One guy told me he couldn't block dive kicks so he drops. Before people tell me to play player match/lobbies. I had people rage quit there too. Smh.
Powapro Baseball 2012 Gameplay
The game really looks great. Konami should trying buying the MLB license and releasing these games in the west. 2K's exclusivity deal has pretty much ended.
Well, on the other side according to the NPD I have only bought 1 Vita game. I have a lot more than that, lol.

I'm not familiar with this but good price. Is it a good game?
In Japan of all places it appears to be 70:30 from what little we've gotten, so I imagine that figure could be bigger in the west.
Hardly, they've given them their most recent fighter, and they're giving them their next one too. MonHun being locked down doesn't mean anything for support from Capcom for their other releases.
