Yeah, as american, playing a import with no english translation is not something most people do for a role playing game, perhaps for other games like a fighting game or something more basic, but a full scale rpg is not advised without translation due to "needing to read text to know what to do"

But yes, that game i was waiting for english localization which is why i bought a vita for, but never got. Instead i got a few ports, like ultimate marvel vs capcom 3 and exclusives like ys memories of celcita and tales of heart R, other than that is just ports of ps3/ps4 games, and indie games with SOME good exclusive games.

3DS had mostly exclusive games that wasn't all ports, which is just good, and the port of games was GOOD games to begin with and had time and good reason to be port like donkey kong country returns and smash bros.

Then again japan always get more games than any other country does, so i'm not surprised this would happen to me. Nice finger there sega, i don't like it but i can see what you did there to us USA people. *SARCASM*

 

Pretty much nailed it with the titles. Good post (<-- how come there is no Vita version of this smiley?)

 

Lies, Tales of Hearts R is on iOS.

 

But I liked @Chary's review of the device, just wishing she could that on the Wii U as well.

Well yeah, it has like 20 good games but I love Wii U's two screen and Amiibo gimmick..

 

Wait, best indies and there isn't Super Meat Boy?
This is the best indie of all time.

Fez also deserve a place on that list

 

Problem is a lot of them are import only.

 

True, but all the ones on the lists are/were available in the US.

I love my Vita, even if it came to me with a firmware too late to hack. I've got enough psn games to more than fill my 64gb memory card.

Really wish Sony had pulled their heads out of their backsides when it came to designing and marketing the Vita. Sad waste of potential. Had they made the memory either more affordable or used a standard micro SD it might have gone a long way toward getting more customers. Add to that the almost non-existant marketing and the Vita wasn't even given a chance to succeed.

 

Not going to Include blazblue: chronophantasma here ?

 

Vita has a good share of fighting games, I think a top 10 can be added.

Awesome article BTW

 

But we can play the only Pokemon games that mattered on the Vita with VHBL, and then even if your on the newest firmware...I think? At least if you're on all the way up to 3.63 you can play RED, Yellow, and Blue. When Poke got past those it was a monotonous bore for me, though I hear they made a remake of the original for GBA? VHBL can easily run GBA. And cant forget pokemon pinball, thats a classic!
