TVGS dropping that sick content once again
I learn from the best XD
Gotta say you know your stuff! :)
Great video man, very much enjoyed! Finally a list that doesn't contain P4G, Killzone, Gravity Rush and Uncharted for the billionth time in a row.
Haha thanks mate I appreciate that!
But what about Persona Rush: Golden Mercenaries?
these are amazing games apart p4g...
Underfell Sans 101 I like it but it is overhyped tho
MangakasDream Disagreed. Overhyped implying it doesn’t live up to the hype but P4G does.
Malicious Rebirth is one of those games you know would not be popular, but man the aesthetics and gameplay went so hard
It has that obscure ps2 era action game energy that i miss so much nowadays
videos like these reminds me how underrated vita is
Thanks for watching!
During PSP times, even though the machine is nowhere near the Vita, people still made so many fantastic games on it. Just wish more people bought the vita so that more companies developed games for it :( sad really
@@toeknee3302 Yeah tis a shame that the PSV hasn't got anywhere near as many decent games as the PSP, which has some awsome exclusives that can't be played anywhere else (except on the Vita in BC mode), like Pilot Academy for example. Tbh the best games on the PSV are actually PSP games, especially on a modded PSV with double resolution, GTA Liberty City Stories & Vice City Stories look and play superbly, SONY missed such a gargantuan opportunity in not releasing a GTA game on the Vita, GTA 4 as a launch title would have sold so many consoles for them, as would Vita ports the GTA 3/VC/SA with updated visuals in qHD (960x540), maybe a couple new radio stations for good measure. Then there are other PlayStation associated IP's like Metal Gear Solid, again an updated version of which (especially as a launch title) with spruced up visuals in qHD would have almost certainly shifted a few million consoles for SONY, MGS2 and 3 were ok ports but they could have been miles better with better visuals given how much more juice the PSV has over the PS2. There are so many Resident Evil games that would have been proper sweet on the Vita, the RE1 remake, remasters of 2/3 again in qHD would have been perfect for the handheld, it could have easily handled a decent port of RE4 too in qHD, all of which would look tasty af on the OLED screen, the Crash Bandicoot games would in qHD/updated textures also really have popped on the OLED, so a Crash trilogy collection (again especial at or near launch) would have been another perfect IP for the Vita. There were some decent updated collections for the Vita like the Sly Cooper collection, Ratchet & Clank, Jak and Daxter, all of which were fairly competent ports that looked good on the Vita's small screen, the PSP though had actual new games made from those IPs, sadly the Vita didn't get any proper new games from any of SONY's decent pool of IP's, apart from Uncharted and Killzone both of which were damn fine games, especially Killzone. If SONY had launched with some of the stuff I mentioned above I'm pretty sure the Vita, even with it's lack of mSD card slot and expensive proprietary mem cards would have fared much much better from the get go and gained momentum eventually selling as well if not even better than the PSP did.
I'd have loved to have seen a new Crash game on the Vita, or a Tombraider game, a GTA game (as good as LCS/VCS) made for it, a Resident Evil game, a spin-off Splinter Cell game, SONY could have gotten SEGA to release some DREAMCAST games for the PSV for instance, that would have worked really nicely, especially if they were full fat ports of DC games as a-posed to emulation, a Saturn collection would have been cool too. I could go on until I'm blue in the face, point is the PSV was just such a huge missed opportunity and if there had been games for it would have sold well, the NSwitch is proof that a good launch list of games and a solid release schedule there after and you console will sell like hotcakes, that said there is an awful lot of shovel wear on the NS though, Nintendo needs to reinstate their seal of quality badge thing they used to have, or separate the higher quality titles from the low quality dozen a penny games, perhaps by user score and metacritic scores, also one game title I would really like a NS release of is a GTA game(s), updated versions of GTA LCS/VCS, GTA 3/VC/SA, GTA 4 & Episodes from Liberty City and even GTA 5, some kind of ultimate GTA collection would be lovely jubbly, would definitely add to the fact that the NS is fast becoming one of the best consoles ever with one of the most complete libraries with so many collections and definitive versions of great games and classics that you can play anywhere you like thanks to it being a handheld. The NS is what the Vita almost was yet so far off, in some ways it is a much better system than the Switch, it has full backward compatibility with the PSP, actually playing them natively thanks to the secondary MIPS CPU being built into the Vita which is essentially a PSP SoC, as well as the PS1 being fully natively compatible to also thanks to the secondary MIPS CPU, then there is the vastly superior OLED that no LCD tech can come close to, though the NS IPS display is a decent enough display, even at the higher res of 1280x720p over 960x540p the Vita's OLED comes out on top visually, Nintendo's games would look phenomenal on OLED though, Mario Odyssey, Smash Bros, Mario Kart etc would really pop on an OLED display. The PSP/PSV also had PlayStation MINI's too, the handheld equivalent of XBOX Arcade (another great platform that I miss that had some amazing titles), which had some really awsome smaller sized simple mostly arcade style type games, or they were updated arcade ports, a lot of them were of a fairly high quality and really well-made, far better than your average ad filled smartphone game of today's standards, something the NSwitch would be better off having instead of just flooding the normal eshop with all the smartphone type games that are on there, there were some excellent Minis though, and they were very cheap, two of my faves were Blast Off and Retro Cave Flyer. The Vita online mp was also free, unlike the NSwitch online play, the Vita also had Netflix, TH-cam and many other multimedia/video apps, a decent online browser, a decent MP3 player that you could use whilst playing a game, plus it was more pocket friendly, so the Vita definitely has its pluses over the Switch, ultimately though it's down to the games, and the Vita just didn't get enough AAA support, it needed first party games from SONY, new content as well as portable collections from their wealth of past releases and IPs etc. Who knows maybe SONY will have another crack at the handheld market, and we will finally see the PSP3, there is after all a massive appetite for it, the NS has shown that. If not SONY someone will come in and I've Nintendo some competition, there are the leaked documents of the portable XBOX for instance, who knows, personally I'd like to see a PSP3 with full BC from the PS1/2/3/PSP/PSV, that really would be awsome.
Vita fans deserve an apology bow from sony honchos for their blatant ignoring of this amazing handheld.
sharat gupta or at least if they're going to outright stop supporting the Vita here in the West, just let it die and get hacked like the PSP before it.
They should just release the source codes now and allow open modifications for it as a apology.
Salt and sanctuary! If you like souls brutal combat.
André I. One of my favourite games and it's actually quite easy
Some weapons are op and make the game easy. There is a mod (for pc, and modded vitas) that balances all the weapons, though it makes reapers too strong if you know how to use their combos.
Lukas Zumaras my favourite playthough was bow build then poison build.
André I. Is it possible to play online (or locally ) with friends?
No BS in the beginning. That's what I want to see. No ridiculously long intro. No "hit the like button and don't forget to subscribe" --- just a quick intro and straight to the content.
Not exactly hidden but Virtua Tennis 4 is really good.
The Binding of Isaac rebirth is one of my top 3 games of all times , and it is on psvita , I have platinum trophie, but non the less I still play it almost every day . I have more time played on it than any other game .
What are your other favorite games?
Lumines: Electronic Symphony
This is what i called hidden gems.. after all these years i am still new to many of these.. i have bought some of those games before but never heard many of these titles before...
Fantasy Hero looks cool I'll get into that
Defiantly worth a look!
Does fantasy hero have a physical game
I would also add Rock Boshers DX and Dungeon Hunter Alliance to this list. Cool video btw
Chaos Child and Muv Luv (which just released on vita) are great games that I haven't seen anyone mentioning. Also, if you know japanese, you can get Chaos Head, the sorta prequel to Chaos Child, on vita. All are extremely gripping and great VNs. If you don't like VNs, which is understandable, there's also Demon Gaze 2, stranger of sword city and Shiin (japan only, but great horror dungeon crawler/adventure game).
German Hamster92 hey do you recommend the anime ? Also been wanting to play chaos head but don't know any Japanese to play chaos child 😅
I've never seen the anime, but I heard it wasn't that good. By the way, Chaos Child is already released on vita. If you meant Chaos Head, you only need japanese in order to play Chaos Head Noah on vita, which adds extra heroine routes to the game. You can play the original Chaos Head game on PC with an english patch, which may take a little bit of digging around to find.
@@adeadalienn2457 I don't think the anime for ChaoS;Head/Child is bad if you have no plans to play the VN. I mean they are rushed af but you can still enjoy them. I might give ChaoS;Child VN a try later when I forget the anime. I actually love VNs but I was in a hurry so I watched the anime instead, and I personally never saw anyone other than me that enjoyed it lol
If only their was more non-otome VNs for Vita. I'm still looking forward to get Punchline and Fata Morgana (hoping to get physical for both). I already bought Muv-Luv Double Pack when it came out and I'm so excited to try it. I recently watched Kimi ga Nozomu Eien which I believe shares some characters with Muv-Luv. (Akane Maniax OVA). We should have also gotten YU-NO remake but alas. Western version will only release on PS4/Steam.
Death Mark is also coming out in english in October, and Catherine and NG are confirmed to be releasing in japanese. Sadly, the otome market is large in Japan, which is why the market is so over-saturated with them. At the very least, it gives companies like Dramatic Create the funds to create and port galgames and plotges to the vita, so it does have its uses.
I quite like the VN and otome games the vita has on the Japanese store. Amnesia V Edition and the two fan disks (Later x Crowd and World), Code Realise, Collar x Malice, Hyakka Hyakurou and Steam Prison are a few of my favourites in that they have emotional and well written stories as well. I've heard many are being translated now as well.
Is the fps lag from some of these games because of the recording or is it really like that on the vita? :o
I am adding Adventure of Mana in this list
Demon Gaze is my favorite hidden gem
i would add bullet girls 2 just because i am a fan of it
- Devious Dungeon
- Hitman Go
Loved Toukiden Kiwami
I really Love your Vita list! Thank you!!
I'll check those game out!
Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Sheep dog n wolf music, great soundtrack
Minor correction: Flow was ThatGameCompany's first game, for PlayStation. First ever game was called Cloud
he's Back!
More PS Vita hidden gems:
Valhalla Knights 3
Dex
Reality Fighters
Real Boxing
Shinobido 2: The Revenge of Zen
Maximillion Roivas Reality Fighters isn't hidden, and sucks balls..
Member Berry Same can be said about Silent Hill Book of Memories. Reality Fighters is an interesting game and really uses the PS Vita's functions. Sorry you didn't like it. But there are alot of people who do.
Dex 👍🏼
Shinobido 👍🏼
If i buy the physical copy of shinobido, no dlc included?
wizeguy26 It's not included and I don't think it's on the store anymore but from what I've heard the dlc is not worth it anyway.
Should I get a Vita in 2018?
YAS!
COLTRANE yes for hacking.
Yes!!!
Of course
We Had Minster Hunter Frontiers G on the vita tho. And can still play MHO2ndG and MHO3rd as they are in Japan PSN
Silent Hill: Book of Memories? I hated that game!
Yes! I can't play this shit after psp's origins! Damn!
Wait, Puyo Puyo Tetris is on the Vita and was localized?
Okay, seems that it wasn't localized even digitally for some reason, despite already having a translation for the PS4 and Switch versions already out here.
In that case, I have no qualms with nominating Phantasy Star Nova, which is a fun and beautiful Action RPG that utilizes the touch screen wonderfully. It requires a lot more fluency in Japanese than Puyo Puyo Tetris does, but there are some very in depth guides available online already.
acidonia150
Well, here's hoping they decide to port the Vita version over soon, at least digitally, then.
First time I hear someone mention Malicious :') such a great game

They took down Duke nukem (in north america at least)... I'm heartbroken 😞
@@andrewcrawford2807 You can still buy it from the HK store! Though with vita only allowing for one account you can't play it without formatting to delete your main account. But you can still buy it and play it on ps3. Or just get another vita and hack it/buy a hacked one.
Wow, until now, I thought, I knew lost every non-exclusive-game on the vita, but just in this one video there were 5 unknown games for me :)
so, thanks a Lot!!!
Glad you found the video helpful! Thanks for watching =)
Such a great list, I will be checking these games.
You should put the title at the tail end so if it looked appealing i can screenshot it
What?!? An actual hidden gems list? Thanks for the video
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video dude, Puyo Puyo Tetris is awesome! The other games i've never played, actually most of them i've never even heard of :), thanks for the recommendations!
No worries Skill glad you enjoyed the video mate!
I love Toukiden 2 but it's not a hidden gem... ... ... It would be if it was a Vita exclusive.
Spartan Guy how it is the online community for toukiden 2???
more "indie" than "hidden" I would say.. apart from Toukiden and Book of memories that are neither (Toukiden is a very good game tho I agree, especially Toukiden 2)
I buy my Vita in love for this device
Beautifull intro and background music , love it so much ❤️
Thanks for the kind words!
Awesome ! Thanks so much I needed to find some new games.
Glad the video helped!
that.....is one helluva list!!!
nice multi-platform vita games
Great vid
I wish they had released a souls-like game for the Vita. It has/had so much potential. I hope Sony makes a powerful handheld like the switch and release Dark souls 3, Bloodbourne, Dragons Dogma or something like that on it. Just something with high replay value.
Joshua Amador I think Soul Sacrifice counts?
There is a souls like for vita, it's called salt and sanctuary,it a great game,trust me if you enjoyed dark souls you will probably like this one too
listen to da man, Salt n Sanctuary is your souls game for the Vita, and it does not dissapoint
Joshua Amador soon bro.. soon..
Salt and Sanctuary
I personally liked
Freedom wars
Asterisk war phoenix festa
Hyperdevotion noire
Zenonia
J-stars victory vs
Demon gaze
Trillion god of destruction
Ragnarok odyssey ace
Criminal girls
Senran kagura
Great suggestions!
Imagine buying a PS Vita just to play Tetris on it
Xeodrifter is fantastic on Vita, but I love the quick switch and HD rumble of the Switch version too. NeuroVoider on Vita is great too.
You made a banger list
A REALLY REALLY underrated Vita game is a game called “Teslagrad” I did a review of it on my channel for Switch. It’s perfect on the Vita and has a great trophy list. Definitely check that out sometime :)
Oooo will have to give this a look man! Thanks for the suggestion 🙂
Odd World New n Tasty is a hidden gem
Great suggestion
I dont think it counts as a hidden gem. It definitely is highly recommended in tons of must play lists.
Not hiden but gem sure
I owned the first model and slim but I got switch and it's way more powerful I wish Sony and Microsoft step up and make better hand helds but switch does everything I haven't even docked mines
Talks of Sony not giving up on the handheld market so it’s going to be interesting to see what they do!
Since they wont release physical anymore how?
You forgot to note that puyo puyo Tetris is only available in Japanese for the vita despite it being released in English for both the switch and PS4
Agreed should have mentioned that... thanks for pointing this out.
Great list
The opening music reminds me of Sheep Raider.
Get ready for Toukiden 3 PlayStation Vita and TV
sleight sloth yes they are
Sorry, Toukiden 3 is not coming out for Ps Vita... Only PS4 & PC.
Flow precedes flower
So many great games on the vita damn
Playing Limbo right now
Song during the silent hill game?
Is that Gundam digital or would I have to buy a physical copy?
*nIcE*
Shinobido 2 for the Tenchu fans out there.
I'm sorry but Silent Hill: Book of memories is shit and I don't understand why it's on this list
It does look pretty crappy and thats coming from a diehard fan of the series
Your opinion
Graphics wise, Silent Hill: Lost Memories off the psp looks better than this.
Edit: It's Shattered Memories, not Lost Memories.
I love that type of game, and coop w my bro, we thought it was a cool meld of silent hill and diablo.
It's sad knowing that the FANS are having more faith in the VITA than SONY did...
5:54 Amogus.
Can you write the titles. I didn’t catch them as you spoke them
Oh I see it’s a red screen before each
cool list
Thanks for watching!
risk of rain
Frozen Synapse Prime
Never heard of that one, will have to give a look. Cheers!
Did you really have to make an outro that was that stupidly long just to get to the 10-minute mark really?
Cannot believe you put Silent Hill Book of Memories on this list. Fucking worst game on Vita.
Good list of selected titles for that portable system.
Thanks for watching!
Todo el catálogo de Ps Vita está escondido!! XD
Nice🔥🔥🔥
Glad you enjoyed it!
Metal Max Xeno
Not bad
The video I have been waiting for!
More on the way!
Not my cup of tea... All these looked really shite to me.
BASTION
Great list of games
Haven't picked up my Vita in about 3 years. Really disappointed about the lack of decent games available. This doesn't change my mind sadly.
Jin kisaragi shut up Jin...
UNEPIC
Gravity rush ragnork SOUL FUCKING SACRIFCE killzone..
You missed some solid titles bud no sub for you
PERSONA 4
Such a good game!
notJerry not hidden
Gian Reyes yeah everyone knows that game is great. A gem but not hidden

notJerry that's not a hidden gem
Urghhh I hated Malicious SO MUCH
отвратительный топ)
