"The PS Vita - Its like a rare flower" - MetalJesus, 2016.
Poetry is metal asf
"Really, huh!" ~ MetalJesus
i want a shirt that says that
This is by far the most satisfying Vita gameboy(hope it is okay to call it a gameboy) video i have seen. I'm definitely going to buy one now.
just got my vita and this is my third time to get it i always sell it and ended up buying again my games still intact with my account
The ps vita didn’t fail, Sony failed it
yeah...you're trying to sound insightful or something but the guy's comment above me makes a lot more sense...
No not really.
Yes, again, Sony screws the pooch due to their over reliance on expensive, proprietary components.
We all failed the Vita
If the the vita failed why is it still so expensive 🤔
Just discovered metal jesus videos...my 12 hour shifts pass soo much faster thanks
Literally the same dude! Nightshift im guessing?
Hahah, your comment was posted 12 hours ago as of now
@@thecoolcario9048 yup im always at work lol
@@johndough3223 ya man !
@@sinisterwakawakablack2092 I'm interested in what job you do to be able to watch TH-cam, I can sometimes watch youtube on my night shifts Haha
here we are in 2019 and the 64 gb is still 100 bucks
Why not just use a regular micro SD though? You know, henkaku and stuff
@@decentlyaverage9483 definitely
sadly
BloodAngel It’s a shame, you can buy another system with that type of money.
Sd2vita=3 dolars+micro sd 120 gb 40 dolares also bether than the original sd card. Dont mean you will use piracy but you can expand you memory and use originals .
The problem with this system is that sony gave up on it very quickly. Almost within a year.
The main issue with sales was the price of the storage media. Having to pay over half the price of the console for some of the higher end options was ridiculous.
I only bought my Vita once I saw a bundle for an incredibly cheap offer with a 32gb card included. Otherwise I would only have bought mine when Henkaku was released (and I I bought a second one when SD2Vita was released).
in some way yes sony did giv aways psvita, but not at all cause system updates are stil comming out ..
@@diabo69 System updates are only Sony's attempts at blocking piracy. If they don't at least pretend to fix those issues, then the few devs still releasing on the plataform won't bother anymore.
@@LemonRush7777 you are wrong, new system updates from sony just add some performance on the system, cause piracy still working on the last firmware 3.72 ,.
No the main issue is you think you know what happened because of internet brains
Thank you for this video! My husband and I are finally joining the Vita clan. We just ordered our Japanese import units.
Also you CAN use the American store. Not sure why they got that wrong. Also the O/X are swapped in OS menus.
The beginning...
Erica Griffin You and MetalJesus should do a video together! That would be awesome ❤️
Hi welcome to ps vita, we no longer makes games but it looks really cool with a cool fanbase and it has a touch screen.
Why Japanese imports?
Kind of wish Rockstar would have made of GTA game specifically for the Vita like they did with the PSP
Bro.. That would be awesome
You have shakedown hawai now..its better than gta chinatown or vice or liberty city no vita
Totally!!
Yep. Also the vita had a bunch of ps2 game collections like God of War 1 & 2, so it would have been amazing if they made a gta collection with gta 3, vice city, and san andreas
I wish they'd just bring back the damned VCS, but NOOOO, we, a million dollar company can't pay our damn copyright bills. At least Chinatown Wars is good
Time really does fly... I remember that this video was one of the reasons that got me into buying a PlayStation Vita... And I couldn't be happier about it since the thing has become, alongside the Nintendo DS, my favorite handheld game system ever (also, thanks to this video I met and started following you, MJR, and Kelsey too, so I'm pretty fond of it). So yeah, even if it's obvious by now, getting a PlayStation Vita will always be worth it, so if anyone reading me has the chance of obtaining one, don't doubt about it and do it, I believe you won't regret it at all. 😊
Hell yeah. I have both a Vita, and a 2DS with custom firmware stuff going on. I have a TON of PSX, PSP, and Vita games, along with RetroArch, and a bunch of ports like the 3 PS2 GTA games, Max Payne, and Bully. And then I have a 2DS with around 200 or so original DS games, a handful of virtual console games, and probably a good 50 or so 3ds games.
Between the two handhelds, I'm set for life.
I've owned a 1000 model two times before and absolutely loved it, unfortunately I had to sell them. Thinking of getting one again but can't decide between a 1000 and a 2000, any tips?
@@ricecrispyman1582 If you're still deciding, the 1000 models are more reliable, they are built better and use hall-effect sticks which are more resistant to the drift issue.
Its so sad how a amazing portable gaming machine like the Vita gets the cold shoulder from Sony. If you are just going to ignore it why not just do right by the community and just open source its development. We can create and port things that take full advantage of its hardware ourselves!
Who knows! They may do that eventually! After-all, they did do something similar with the PS1 (Net Yarozie) back in the day, so anything is possible! You must remember though, at the end of the day, Sony is a company for profit and that is what all companies do when something they create doesn't make money, they shrug it off. I am not saying it is remotely right 100% of the time (especially since the Vita is such a gem of a console) but would YOU invest money into a product that isn't making an acceptable financial return?.. Any smart businessman would answer "No" because it makes no sense to throw your money away.
Me personally I have the OG AT&T model I bought near launch day and I have had zero problems with tons of use. It is a great little unit. Internet works well too!
I get the business logic behind it but Its still pretty sad nonetheless. With that said, you can argue that them throwing in the towel as early as it did doomed the console. We have been crying out for more Vita love throughout its entire lifespan.The Gameboy/DS line have proven for years that a portable console with just a few killer apps can snowball into a major success despite always being at least a generation behind hardware wise. The Vita could have had it all if only it had competent software support. My only major gripe with the Vita hardware is the proprietary memory card format they chose to use. If Sony made it the android powered device it was originally rumored to be they wouldn't even have to do much lol.
I completely agree with all of what your saying. It is very sad indeed. Lack of sufficient software support probably did put the console in a very terrible state of being but in all honesty, I really contribute the Vita's failure to the mobile game industry. Sure the 3DS would counter and squash my argument almost entirely but I can at least say this in regarding the Vita... It may be portable but compared to the casual gamers vs actual hardcore gamers their is a clear divide. I would even say that a ton of handheld DS/3DS, PSP/Vita users jumped ship for various mobile games. I am not one of those people (for the most part anyway, I do have 2 mobile games I play I won't lie) but a phone is just much more convenient than hauling around that big widescreen Vita or a flip top screen 3DS. Game's are also much more habit forming on mobile as well.
Nevertheless the Vita may be on life support by a few developers but at the end of the day, The world let's the chips fall where they may. i know that Sony is well aware of the fans and in due time they will honor it in some way or another.
Yea, while its been a major success overall even the 3DS has proven to be mortal. Over the last 2 years especially the market has mostly moved away from dedicated portable gaming devices altogether in favor of the now dominate smartphone gaming market. This is the basis behind the NX being a hybrid console rumor as another standalone portable console in 2017 would be illogical even for Nintendo. With Pokemon GO being a mobile game I would say that Nintendo is finally starting to pick up on this too. Hopefully they get that with these 5oz phones being the ultimate swiss army knives of productivity and entertainment, portable consoles are going to need more primary features than just playing games to survive from here on out.
Very true. At the end of the day though, I see these devs who make these high powered 3DS and Vita games eventually being made for the smartphones as they become more powerful. So in a way, the small percentage that is left of the portable market will evolve into mobile. Hell Sony may start making phones and so may Microsoft. Only time will tell.
Mistake in the video: I have a Japanese Vita, and the online store is not the Japanese store. It's the same region as my PS account (New Zealand).
Same for Australia. No problems at all
I just bought the blue Slim and my store has all of my ps1 classic games and everything is in english, literally the only difference I can find is that O is confirm, but not in-game. I think the store is simply based upon who is logged in.
Yeah same here, I bought a blue one and such its linked to account region not region its from..
Yeah, I ordered a Japanese Vita a few years ago because they were still selling the OLED versions in Japan after Sony North America discontinued them in favor of the Slims, and all I had to do was log into my US account to shop the US store and sync my trophies. The only thing is that you can’t have more than one account on one system, unlike the PS3 and PS4. Not without restoring the system anyway. Also, you’re stuck with Japanese-style O to confirm, X to cancel.
Thanks, that was one big chunk of misinformation
11:42 for when they start to talk about games if anyone is interested
Thanks
You're a low key hero my guy
J-Woodall ha thanks :)
@@pushlive you're welcome :)
@@pushlive if someone is actually _interested_ then this person wouldn't skip forward.
it's not porn to jump to action ASAP 😆
Found this video in 2021 it’s crazy how much more complicated the Vita has gotten since the digital store drama. Regardless I still bought an Oled model and am excited to jump in! crazy how these videos are still relevant and helpful years later for new buyers/collectors
Have you downloaded some of the retro gaming apps? If so is it pretty good? Just bought mine but waiting on a memory card in the mail 😅
we need more people advertising how good the vita is. Yes it has flaws ... and yes it did not sell very well, but man is it an awesome system. it doesn't deserve the flak it gets.
It's like the Dreamcast or the Wii U in a way. Sure it didn't sell well and they had flaws but they still have a bunch of worthwhile titles on them.
It's a great system but the memory card prices just fucked them.
aie the biggest and honestly only real flaw ... we need some super awesome hacker to figure out how to get cheaper versions to work. id 100% buy someone where to make a cheap alternative.
+Joshua Klimek Agree, the memory card prices are STILL ridiculous.
i cant even buy them at ebgames any more.
You can tell that they totally have different taste on games.
redpanda416 yeah
Indie v big budget...but Vita had both in the beginning
Its actually great, makes for a great review and having a contrasting side
And that is totally fine!
the girl is a filthy casual
I was on the fence about buying one for the longest time. This past weekend, I walked past a second hand original model with the OLED screen for USD100 in really good condition. I had to buy it. Funny how things play out different from what you expect. Uncharted, which I thought I'd love, instead irritated me. Wipeout 2048 demo - which wasn't even on my radar- blew me away. Playing Killzone Mercenary is as smooth and intuitive as I thought it would be. I'm having so much fun looking for game deals now. And the OLED screen is amazing. I bought a new 2018 LCD IPS panel phone that I really like. The fact that this 2011 dinosaur tech handily outperforms my 2018 phone screen is impressive.
I feel like I'm one of the very few ppl that actually prefer the LCD screen (note: I have never seen the OLED screen in person, only from videos and reviews and commentaries on the internet). I feel like it's underrated like the AGS-001 for GBA SP.
But I do like the bulkier, more serious look of the 1000. Mostly interested in the hatsune miku edition even though I normally don't even bat an eye at special/limited editions with messy artwork on them (only because my inner miku fanboy is calling me this time). The red and plain white versions are also cool and I might just get the red one in the future, or the white one with miku stickers slapped on it lol.
Yea golden abyss’s Quick Time Events(especially The Balancing One) were a massive Put Off For Me.
"Limited run games is such a small company" in 2020 they are now producing the physical copies for hitman 3
Hacked Ps Vita + SD2VITA = ultimate handheld
Agreed but you're missing emulators and Enso cfw.
@@DungarooTV trinity is good as well ..psvita realy a greate portable you have a very big catalog on your hands not only vita but other consoles .. retroarch is the best on vita i love it ..
@@diabo69 Thanks buddy! I think the Vita overall is good but RetroArch on the Vita is not the best as it doesn't really run the games very well at all. But then we do have access the PSP games/emulators and the catalogue of PSX titles which makes up for it.
@@DungarooTV yes retroarch last version is good.. gba games run more fast than on the gba emulators for psp .. alot of games runs well with retroarchievments.. i love retroarch on vita bether than that separetly psp emulators ..
@@diabo69 trinity sucks it makes the vita laggy..just downgrade to 3.65 and install enso
It's a shame that the PS Vita failed, I would really like Sony to still make handhelds, though. The Vita was an excellent system, Sony just didn't do a very good job at marketing it and the memory cards were overpriced.
I feel the same way about the nintendo ds. But i think even the traditional nintendo handheld consoles are over as well.
8 million vitas sold, this video has 1.5 million views
1 out of 5 people who bought a vita have watched this video
Your math is blowing my mind.
Michael Newman wow I’m actually impressed, well I’m impressed easily
That math is way off. You didn't consider the fact that anyone is allowed to watch this video.
I've watched some lion videos. I don't own a lion, and I'm not a lion.
The views are from all sorts of people, with or without a Vita.
XD
Mig 28 WOW way to be a smart ass
Michael Newman Ps Vita sold 16 million times.
I love watching these buying guides a million times ! You guys do it best. I am probably going to pick up the vita again soon :)
No mention of LittleBigPlanet Vita? It took everything that the PS3 games had, and improved on the concept and still managed to maintain the same level of graphics at 30 FPS.
Just shows what the Vita is capable of.
SquidTheSid It is to show how many great games there are that, even with all they showed, there are more to see
SquidTheSid Ah, that's the reason why I'm getting the Vita until the end of this year, japanese and indie games are my jam, but it's a shame what happened here on the west, at least with the Switch becoming so popular it seems more and more people are looking at the Vita once again, it's quite funny
I play little big planet on my psp its epic
Keep bringing Kelsey on. You are both awesome and I really enjoy her perspective as well as yours on games, gaming, and gaming culture. Very honest and authentic in your passion and expression of any opinion you guys have on these subjects. Awesome job!!!!!
I just bought my vita from ebay, got a bundle so it came with a 16gb memory card and a game. Can't wait till it gets here!😁
Just bought a PS Vita 2000 with a 64GB card off eBay. It's gonna consume my life.
Did ir break the bank? What's considered a decent price?
Same here. White vita with 64 gb card. £100
To clarify, if you import a Japanese Vita, you do have access to the North American PSN store. I have the Toukiden PS Vita system that I imported and I download all the PSN content from the U.S. store without issue. The ONLY difference is that the "X" and "O" button are swapped in the system settings.
I imported the red ps vita original and yes your are right .. it's amazing!!!
Which I believe you can change with custom firmware.
I did this actually so yes you can make the buttons act as they do everywhere but Japan.
I Have the original Vita it works like the day i bought it . All hail the Vita!!!!!
In soviet russia, the vita hails you.
Venom Snake What? Your mom has Faster Lice?
Venom Snake A console present? Yay! Thanks! Yippee!!!!
Zaaki Seedat I’ve still got the old one and I think it’s brilliant I’ve just taken it out of its box and wow it looks so cool I’d forgotten that it looked so good it’s a black one I like playing films on it thinking of getting a Vita I think it looks way better then the switch👍👍.
Same here!
When I was in the military I would spend countless hours playing killzone when we had some down time from training or just waiting around.
MJR just started watching your videos about 7 months ago and I’m a retro gamer fan , you have helped me out so much and I’ve really started collecting big time on just about everything love your videos and I’m a subscriber don’t stop making videos your the man!🤘🏻
I kinda hate the fact that the Vita is dead, the consoles are still expensive for a system with little to none latest releases
gavin ;] not sure were you are from but I picked up a pretty cheap second hand one in good condition for £50
gavin ;] they are getting "rare"
We got undertale after 2 years
It was dead until the hackers successfully hacked the system so u can play homebrews and vita roms on it. I bought a fat vita and ordered a motherboard from china so I can swap it with a lower firmware. Cost me less than 130 bucks and I even got 2 shitty football games with the 2nd hand vita. THose I can just sell and get a part of my investment back
Buy a used one. I got one from offer up for 90 bucks. Kind of dinged up a bit but works fine.
What PLAYSTATION STORE downloadable games would you recommend? These could be Vita, PSP or PS1 games
Guacamelie,GRIM FANDANGO,SOUND SHAPES,ROGUE LEGASY,THE BINDING OF ISAAK,SOULS SACRIFICE DELTA,FEZ,RISK OF RAIN,OLLIO OLLI 1/2,SEVERED,SPYRO TRILOGY,etc.
Just as a Heads up the store is connected to your account, so even if you have a Japanese PS Vita if your account is a US/NA Account you get the NA Store. However on the Japanese PS Vitas there are several menus where the o and x buttons are swapped. That is hard-coded into the firmware so you can't change it. Only for some screens though (my theory is the original system menus are like that because of the firmware but updates and additions downloaded to the memory card are not because of the selected region). Anyhow from the store I suggest the Disgaea series (three PSP releases and two vita), all of the Persona games (2 PS1 releases, 2 PSP releases, and Obviously Golden for the vita), and Oreshika: Tainted Bloodlines: a cool rpg with a English physical release in Asia (very rare and can be confused with the Asia Japanese physical release, digital only in the US). The Vita is also a really good console for importing however you have to sift through a massive amount of Visual Novels. Check out importing: Airship Q, @Field, AT/IV, and Bullet Girls for starters; there is plenty more though. Anyhow cool video and happy collecting.
oddworld new and tasty!
Echochrome is a classic.
Soul sacrifice delta and Freedom wars!
Got the Vita on your recommendation, and I love it! Also picked up the PS TV and was blown away by how good Vita games look on a fifty inch HDTV. Dragon's Crown and Sky Force both look gorgeous, and I suspect many other Vita titles will too. Plus, the PSTV is a joy to control with Dualshock 3 and 4 controllers. Any chance you could do a video on the Playstation Vita TV itself, MJR?
Idk what Kelsey was talking about but I’ve had 3 Japanese Vitas, all signed into my NA account. Was able to access the North American PS Store still in April 2023 and even download my purchased games like Ps1 Classic I bought off of PS3 Aeons ago
I recommend the PlayStation TV/PS Vita TV because you can use it to play PSP and PS Vita games on your TV with an existing PS3 or PS4 controller. Plus, you can also plug a PS3/PS4 arcade stick into the PS TV/PS Vita TV and use it to play Tekken 6 (PSP), Dead or Alive 5 Plus, Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3, Street Fighter x Tekken or any other fighting games for it.
Thats a good point! I'd recommend modding the mofo and getting a SD2VITA so you can store more than 8 or 16gb without breaking the bank.
Can’t you only play a few vita games?
@@aaronduffy2901 There is a plugin so you can play pretty much any Vita game.
Fastfoward today...you need to be Bill Gates. Vita is now the only option left.
I found a couple 32 gb memory cards at a local game store for $64 each. Still stupid expensive. With that kind of money, you can buy a larger microSD card, screen protector and case for the Vita.I went and hacked my Vita and got a 256GB card put in. Arguably the best handheld ever.
Tearaway is probably my favorite. The ending made me a bit weepy, in a joyful way. I just bought Sorcery Saga, thanks for the recommendation!
Yeah, I think a lot of people overlook this because of the cutesy graphics, thinking it is a kid's game. It makes great use of the touch feature and is a reasonable challenge.
i just got mine and in 2021 this is still a great device. the library is huge when you include ps1 and psp games, love it ❤️
I got mine a couple months ago, and I'm loving it. I have custom firmware on it with a micro SD card adapter, using a 256gb card. I have a ridiculous amount of PSX, PSP, and Vita games on it. I have unofficial ports of GTA3, VC, SA, Bully, and Max Payne. And I have emulators. Not to mention plugins for remapping controls, changing the Vita's clock speed, skipping the little swipe when turning the console on or leaving sleep mode, custom bubble icons for my PSX and PSP games, auto-switching my volume depending on if I have headphones in or not, an entire cheat menu to screw around with.
I love it. The Vita is bananas. And to think, when it first came out, everyone I heard talk about it, and what I thought myself, is that it was just "a PSP with a second analog stick". I always assumed it was literally just another version of the PSP, like the PSP GO, but with a second stick that a few games *might* use.
Metal jesus you do rock 🤘🏼 great vid as always
Great video for a great system. Just one thing that wasn't mentioned, and there are probably already comments about this, but you can store Vita games on a PC or PS3 and effortlessly and quickly transfer them to Vita using the charge cable, and vice versa. So while the memory cards are way too expensive, you don't really have to worry about running out of space once you own one.
Love the Opeth poster in the background. Those are some good tunes!
I've had my vita since release and still to this day love using it. Granted I've modified it and use it more for retro gaming anymore; I still actively use it regularly.
People should buy both the vita and 3DS because they both have AMAZING RPGs and are both amazing
SleepingMudkip no
SleepingMudkip RPGs are not for everyone
i agree, and I already own a New 3DS XL + PS Vita Slim + Nintendo Switch + Samsung Galaxy S6 Phone + Samsung Galaxy Tab 10....so I've got several portable machines - all worth it - to each their own though.
SleepingMudkip but 3DS is much better for hold door
SleepingMudkip exactly bro
The Vita is pretty much a mobile ps4. The party chat crosses platform. So you can talk to ps4 players while you're on Vita.
Damn shame it failed. I love my 1000
Seems to me The Vita failed because SONY abandoned it. Smh
@@DreMurf313 and over priced the damn thing
Performance wise,Vita is roughly equivalant to a first gen Xbox 360
@@billranes1214 yes
@Venom Snake lags terribly? vita is pretty much the only option to play mgs3 and mgs2 as portable and it's locked 30fps it doesn't need overclock you're probably one of the people who has started off mgs series with 5 Vita is definitely the best handheld for retro gaming go spread your shitty PC mustard race nonsense and hatred around somewhere idiot
I always wanted to have a PS Vita since I was like 10 years old and I still really want one now.
Same bro its really my dream console
I thought the opposite of Golden Abyss. The touch screen for all the discovery and treasures you did were very unique and pretty well used. My problem though was having the touchscreen during the actual action of the game. Like balancing the whole damn Vita to not fall off a log or using the touch screen for hand to hand fights. This was especially frustrating in the finale on crushing.
I love my Vita! I own a little over 50 physical games and I bought a 64 GB memory card and a 32GB memory card for it. Both are full of digital games. It's such an underrated system. I play as much, if not more than my PS4, which is crazy think.
Patrick Ryan No I do too. I play on my vita just about every day. I love the system and it's my favorite handheld.
Vita master race. My PS4 is unplayed for months, my vita is played every week!
oh i am definitelly subscribing, + like button ofc. Very original name and may i say that the chemistry between u 2 on review is great, meaning the one does not overshadow the other when talking, leaving a respectful time on each other to comment. Also suprizingly nice the extend of the "what to buy" list , something i dont actually enjoy on other youtubers.Metal theme on gaming market suits nicely here.
I still keep coming back to this video, you have an amazing vibe
i still have a PSVita today, bought it not very long ago actually. Got a new shell for it, installed Henkaku, and i love it to heck. i've got all my PSP , SNES, GB , GBA games on it
Can you change the ui on vita to make it more like PSP/ps3?
How isn't Gravity Rush in the main list or the honorable mentions? It's an original IP made specifically for the Vita (and only recently came out as a HD remaster for the PS4), and it's generally regarded as one of the more solid IPs on the system. I don't understand why you'd give so much room for multiplats, remasters and digital download ps1-games, when you skip out on one of the few original IPs on the Vita that definitely deserves a mention.
yeah like soul sacrifice delta and freedom wars. they are also original titles for the vita
I platinums Gravity Rush on vita. It was a mediocre game.
Gravity Rush is life
Gravity rush was amazing much like infamous on the ps3
Gravity Rush is the Best Open World Game on Vita, Also the World Very Big
I love the Vita for all the JRPG goodness on it!
Suck that my Vita's analog sticks are broken though :/
What did you do to it O.o
Probably played it too much cuz I played it daily. So it just auto-moves to the right now or it doesn't registers left very well now
Vita has more rpgs than ps4
***** did i ever mention SNES? no. well stfu then
Really great video! What I think Sony should’ve done was try to fit more PS3 games on the PSVITA; though the graphics would be a minor lower quality, the graphics do not define the quality of a game, it is the depth and effort put into a game💯
TLOU on Vita! Maybe one day a fan can do something.
the graphics are pretty good on vita... I use it for moonlight streaming these days and man it works great
I use the party to talk to my friends on PS4 while I take dumps...
*splosh*
Nice.
Got my vita a month ago, off of eBay for parts. I fix consoles, and normally can diagnose problems with consoles, and this time it was no different. I got it for $30 with a charger and refurbish Sony box. Best purchase ever, I would pay over $100 again to play my games.
Just found this, and the fact that you have Space Quest IV in the intro, you get an instant subscribe.
Just bought a near mint PS Vita 1000 and a good condition blue PSP 3000 from Japan!! I'm gonna buy a Vita 2000 next! Used to have a psp 3000 but someone stole it. Im so damn excited I always wanted the Vita and im glad i'll have my beloved psp 3000 again.
I don't usually do these type of comments, but Kelsey's smile is like the most adorable thing.
His nervous laugh makes me lol. Uh hu hu hu.
ikr
Thanks for the video, is very helpful have a guide of games for the PS Vita. I'll try to buy mostly all the games I am interested before they close the store.
Thank you for uploading and sharing both of you!
Great Video!! I went straight out and got a second hand Sony Ps vita in mint condition with oled screen, courtesy of Kelsey's recommendation, from Game UK for £100 and I know the manager who gave me a free 16gb memory card, when I opened the box there was another 16gb card and 8gb card hiding in there!! Woop Woop!! Downloaded Persona 4 Golden for £6.99 from the UK PSN store, Very happy, Thanks for the advise and guide, defiantly recommend your videos to anyone out there, top-notch' stuff Guys :)
James Hewitt haha lucky
The memory cards were designed to recoup money on those OLED screens I heard.
And to combat piracy,but didn't know about making up money for the OLED screens. I shouldn't be surprised considering it was to good to be true for only $250 for such a screen.
It might be both
Idk
When you said sly cooper hd was on the vita I was like “I NEED ONE NOW!!!!”
Loving these handheld videos guys
too bad most of these games shown were very common Vita games, no hidden gems here. Vita has so much more to offer than these.
+Hachikō these are the games we recommend a NEW Vita collector pick up. This isn't about Hidden Gems
yea dumbass what metal jesus said. maybe think before opening your mouth next time little boy!
FaceRip maybe this little pig boy will keep his mouth shut before he speaks next time now that we put him in his place! hmph some poeple
***** Of course and that's the joke. My response was way overboard relative to the original guy's post. I'm just trolling/being silly for my own amusement. I think the other guy was too.
Unique Mushroom I was :)
This channel is so old school and wholesome. Never change.
Kelsey has awesome taste, would love to know more about those otome games, especially if they have gameplay like Danganronpa/VLR!
I'm still in love with my new pawn store vita, got memory card same day too been playing fifa and mortal kombat
I just got my Vita cause of this video, and I'm so glad I did. Can't wait to build up my collection. Memory card cost was ridiculous, but at least the games are small.
you can build a really great collection pretty cheap !
Never regretted my purchase. Welcome to the fold!
Travis Duncan Thanks. Neither have I. I've built a decent collection already, and play it pretty constantly. There's something about handheld gaming I just really like.
Don't miss Dragons Crown ! Amazing game
Gamers I watched a trailer, and it looks really good. Thanks for the heads up. I'll play anything by Atlus, anyway.
Since this video's release, Vita cart manufacturing ended in early 2019 (in US and EU), as a result LRG has slowed releases (and will eventually halt). At some point, I would like to see a close out of Vita game top picks of all time (at least across US and EU regions for the time being).
A great video metal jesus, nice information and you guys clarify the pros and contras about any console.
Pd. Your PC game Hexen is really amazing!
I'm sure someone already mentioned this but thank you for mentioning rhythm games! I've been a huge fan of the Hatsune Miku Project Diva series since its infancy back in 2009 when it launched on PSP. I got the Vita to continue that tradition and I also have their PS3 and PS4 equivalents. Great video! Kelsey, you are awesome. Keep up your awesome content. I should watch your channel more cuz you rock!
Ps vita is like oh no body cares when it first came out and then now people realize they've over looked it
wish it gets enough momentum that sony will revisit the system. SO PEOPLE BUY BUY BUY ITS A GREAT!
it was still greater than the wiiu and 3ds
I haven't bought it because of the high price.
***** it outsold 3ds and wiiu plus it's more powerful than the wiiu
Sony gave up on it really early rather then being smart about it.
i had literally zero intention of buying a vita when i started watching this. i just watch yalls videos because of yalls personalities, and yall always have a smile on your faces, which i love! now i want a vita too haha
Previously I ignored this video, but after ordering my Vita from CEX I'm all over this!!! Currently waiting for it to arrive TOMORROW!!! Yes I am excited! Also just bought Tearaway for £8 from CEX, was cheaper than ebay!
Great video even after 6 years. I've just rebought my vita back and just modded it for the ports. I cant believe I missed these games back 10 years ago well worth revisiting as a ps vita is only 100usd to get one 2nd hand
I have a Japanese vita that I bought during my last trip to Japan and I CAN access and DL games from the Australian PSN store
Bought a Japanese Vita, the PSN store is linked to account location not where the device is from I access my account and also the USA store no problem.
You have to make a Japanese account by change the country to Japan and make an psn Japanese account there a video on youtube.
@@melan5611 they were saying in the video the store is locked to the region of the system (which was wrong)
I got lucky, found a very nice original model in a gamestop 2 years ago. Minor scratch on the screen, but it looks amazing. Oled really looked nice. I'll never get rid of this thing.
The vita is still my favourite portable device of all time. Thanks for this amazing video bro. Salute from France 🇨🇵
@metaljesusrocks, I would loooooove it if u did an updated Vita video. There are quite a few of us vita super fans out here and I would love to get a rundown of where yourself and the crew's collections stand, at this point. Also does anyone know if Sony has announced how long they are going to support it?
"We are going to go Vita crazy here.". Surely you mean la VITA loca.
just got my first ever vita because the switch is too big, im in love with it. thanks I love your guys reviews.
same reason I got one
I got the Vita on launch day when I was 12, I begged my mom to get it for me, and she did and I was so grateful, she got me little deviants to go with it and that was fun for a bit. And on a completely unrelated note around this time like the Christmas before this, I got a PS3 specifically to play a brand new game which was a sequal to an instant ps3 classic, little big planet 2 (and one, I got them both and a bunch of little accessories themed around it, and it was a wonderful time) and one thing I was really looking forward to on the PS3 was ps2 backwards compatibility................
I had got a slim...... No ps2 backwards compatibility of any kind at all... I was very let down because I had all these wonderful games on the PS2, most notably the Kingdome hearts games, which I now had to get up and switch everything over anytime I wanted to play one or the other and me being a little kid, with ADHD no less, its safe to say I just played little big planet all the time.
And now back to the original point of this, I got my psvita..... On launch day...... Because I love little big planet..... And at this time there wasn't a little big planet game for it which I felt like I was lied to about since it was in their commercials for it all the time, but whatever, because the psvita has remote play with PS3!....... Oh wait...... PS3 remote play is.... Practically non-functional, just the same as remote play for psp, just this time even more of a let down..... Ok.....
You bet your sweet ass I got little big planet Vita before it even came out, it has a soft launch before the official launch and I got it, narrowly made it to the gamestop before they closed (which is to say they essentially locked the door in my face and I was crushed and my mom told me to go stand in the window with a sad face and then they let me in, bless the fella who let me in, he was cute, he was my hero that day) and finally after all those years of lies and deception, I could finally play the full fat little big planet experience on Vita. Yes I had the psp version which was fun but I found the create mode to be limited, because at that time I didn't understand that you can make advanced logic very easily, I was convinced that what little big planet 2 did was not possible in lbp1 or psp. I thought that the only way they made such advanced levels in little big planet 1 or psp was because they could develop them on a computer to do things we couldn't, like those big boss fights for example, I had always wanted to make one of those, or at least a little lock and key puzzle, a little explanation would have gone a long way, and also another thing I should mention is that at this time I was also obsessed with a game called portal, and I really wanted to play stuff like that but you couldn't activate the respawn gates remotely like you could in the other games on the psp version, so I was excited as shit for that as well, I played the heck out of that stuff on lbp2, it kicked ass to me, and I still love that little brown puffball to this day. Same with portal and kingdom hearts, my formative games here lady's and gentleman, and I was hit with the bullshit stick Everytime.
And while I'm here, I'll talk about excited I was when they came out with a little big planet game on PS4, I got a PS4 that year, and let me tell you I love that thing, I mean I even got the PS3 version, yeah sure little big planet 3, especially after the 10th playthrough and no way to play the PS3 game, because my PS3 controller was broken by some little shit who I trusted my controller to, and I now, to this day don't have a working PS3 controller, and for some reason don't didn't think it important enough to have better backwards comparability with the PS4 controller, so now I'm sol in a great many games, lots of games won't even function with out a proper PS3 controller. So Sony, I love you, and thanks for making the ps5 backwards compatible with at least one goshdarn system, and thanks for making your lastest "not little big planet" on PS4 as well as ps5 including a free upgrade, but unless you bring the big guns, I think I'm gonna stick to PC, because on PC, I don't need to developers permission to play the game how I want, if I want to stream a game, even if it is from the mesazoic era, I can play it, if I want to run a game from the n64 at 4k 60fps in VR, by God I can do it, if I want to just make a good but unstable game functional, that's right, I can do that, hell, if I want to just skip the middle man and make my own goshdarn games, CAN, WILL, AND AM. And if those company's who chose your platform over the other because that's just what Japanese audiences played on and they in fact didn't give crap on weather it's you specifically, and those are the company's I like, and they go somewhere else? Do you know who you're talking to? I got a switch on launch day, I was a million steps ahead of your obnoxious a$$. Hell, I was so gung ho about playing big games on handheld that I got a Wii u the year it came out for Christmas, it replaced my psp/PS3 remote play TH-cam and p@rn setup easy, no problem.
And when I can get my hands on a steam deck, I won't need any of you console makers anymore. Frick Nintendo for spoon feeding us legacy titles, frick Sony for lying to me for so many years back when it really mattered, and frick Xbox, period, you got no good exclusives that I would wanna play, you just Leach off of the multiplats, and when you do try to buy up a smaller developer in hopes of having their future success money, you just run them into the ground with your crappy corporate nonsense, you did it to rare, some how Minecraft survived but that's the exception not the rule, yeah you helped out cuphead and let them port it to the switch, thank you btw, but I just know that youre gonna fuck up bethesda, because they're too big to be taken as lightly as they did cuphead and Minecraft, Elder scrolls has a long and deeply rooted cultural significance, the risk of doing it wrong is going to weigh on them, and they're gonna try and cut every corner to minimize the risk, and in the process take all the elderscrolls out of elderscrolls 6, there gonna play pandering corporate suit and fall flat on their faces, wondering why it didn't do well, and I feel like they're just going to think that it's the property and just put it in the same box in the attic that banjo and kazooie are kept in.
Imagine that, fallout and elder scrolls being in the same class as banjo kazooie. Because Microsoft couldn't figure out how to just let the artists work.
Because folks, games are art, art is supposed to evoke emotions, provoke thoughts, or even just look pretty, or cool or whatever, and games do all of that. And I'm here for it. And I hope that I can one day leave my mark on gaming culture, but face it folks,lots of these companies are going to treat them like Nickelodeon treats shows that don't get SpongeBob ratings in its first season, or Netflix, and then just take them down for legal reasons or just because. You can't trust them, I dont. I don't trust game publishers with these works of art, they need to be preserved, not delisted never to be seen again because the financial risk would be too great to flip a switch back on.
I read it all. It was amazing.
And yes, don't ever trust those companies, they treat good games like money cows and not for the art they are, better to just show hem how a game is done. By the way, I just bought a vita today and now I know what game to look forward to- little big planet (I knew that game was good news the first time I saw it). I played some of the first little big planet and loved it but my sister told me bad things about it and didn't play no more, but now I will just get invested in it when I get my vita. And after I mod my vita, I will play Jack and Daxter, and some of the god of war games, with the added bonus of some of the titles I couldn't play- back in the day- because I didn't have money.
Have a great day, fellow adhd friend.
Love the shows guys but can you please please give your machines a clean before you give us a close up
Yeah I agree it looked like there was even dried snot on the ps vita.
Billy Mays Cheese dust in the speaker, dried semen and a suspicious hair?
Yeah, that hair was pretty gross.
+mattyfox666 no its just dirt, from your hands. Comes from long gaming, but a toothpick and a tissue can clean it all up
Silv3r I use professional gaming cleaning products, search 'how to clean your gaming computer' there's a great video
I clicked on this vid just to see if they'll bring up Danganronpa, I'm glad for that.
But they only brought up the first one, and they incorrectly said it's title
Such a boring game
SpiffyStan if your talking about danganronpa i understand but
FUCK YOU
@@persephonepomegranate9652 was expecting
NO THATS WRONG!

Watching this in 2019 and it's cool to see Limited Run Games get a mention
Since buying my first vita on June 2015, I now own four vitas. A black oled and oled white japanese import, a black slim I found at spawn shop for $60 and a aqua blue slim. Not sure exactly how many games I own, but it's easily 100+ physical games. I absolutely love this handheld. My oled models are stock and my sliks are modded with 512gb microsd adapters

Mxgp so rare now
Jonah Wilson i hate visual novels
@@pkerry12 too bad you miss out a great game. It is not like other visual novels. It is a long shot, but if you play Ace Attorney before, this is similar to that.
Good video as always, greetings from México. Buen video, como siempre, saludos desde México.
Great guide, guys! Keep up the good work o/
im watching on vita.
+Harley Irving in soviet russia, vita watches on you.
Caleb Patro my PSP is watching the vitas
@@DS-os1sy PS Vita could have been a handheld king if Sony didn't ruin it
PSP is a handheld God
When I tried to watch youtube on my vita it was not working and saying it is not supported
@@the_fluffinator no
U can use the American store on a Japanese vita. I have the pink and black one.
Y M Oh thank god. I was planning on Getting a vita.
Taylor kazemba so which one is it? Im confused
I just ordered a Japanese Vita... I really hope i can access the American Store after i set my region and language...
same i just got a red one, what i understand is that since my PSN Account is from the USA I will get the USA store to download all the english games typically found there. but if i wanted the japanese store options id just have to make a japanese psn account
The store all depends on what region your account is in, not the hardware.
This video a few years ago got me to get the vita before it was discontinued. I do not regret it a single bit!
So cool to see "Hexen" PC game in the background!
Great video, but I'm disappointed 'cause you didn't really said that Vita is has an awesome indie games library, which is a good point for people not really into jrpg's.
I list a few here, but there's so much upcoming too: Binding of Isaac, Super Meat Boy, Nuclear Throne, FEZ, Titan Souls, Rogue Legacy, Malicious Rebirth, Bastion, Axiom Verge, LUMO, Steamworld Dig/Heist, Downwell, Risk of Rain, Teslagrad, Hatoful Boyfriend, Olli Olli 1&2, Hotline Miami 1&2, Spelunky, Guacamelee, Dustforce DX, Don't Starve Giant Edition, Octodad, Retro City Rampage, The Swapper, LIMBO, Proteus, Pix The Cat, Rocketbird, Stealth Inc 1&2, Terraria, Minecraft.
Really, I couldn't let this pass, there are so many pearls on it. I highly thank you though for bringing a little more attention on PS Vita.
As a wise person once said - "If they won't make good, expensive and new games on the Vita like GTA and Shenmue, then make shitty and cheap ones that look like Atari 2600 games" or something like that.
+MrPikaPwnage Shenmue 3 coming to the PSVita lol
the reason metal Jesus left alot of those indie games out of his list is because I think he's doing games that have 'physical' copies...
Got my vita about a year ago purely for borderlands 2, the metal gear solid HD collection and peace walker. I do a lot of travelling by train for work and these keep me going on long distance travelling. The battery life is also pretty good. Picked up mercenaries, mortal kombat, tekken, soul caliber, gangs of London, final fantasy x, monster hunter and tons of other games that I can't remember.
I came to the party a bit late but really can't understand how sony could screw the vita up. It is awesome and deserved far more than it got. The memory card issue is pretty stupid and Sony should just have released an adapter to allow use of sd cards to fix it when it became obvious that it was a stupid move to have made.
Thanks for a great video. Long live the vita
You guys are legends and this was a cracking video
I just got a vita, it came in a small hand held lot. Thank God that they finally came out with sd card converters for it
sd2vita is a real lifesaver
