EmpireZ Creed mainly because of the poor sales, the library of the Vita is pretty boring, unless you're into JRPGs. It had a few amazing games, but many average games (not bad, just plain average)
Space Asylum - Gaming in Space! Exactly, it was a portable indie gaming console. Mostly RPGs though. So it may not be everybody's "cup of tea". I would have purchased the Vita if it has more *NEW* first-party AAA games (A.K.A exclusives). Now I'm considering to buy the 3DS (in my country it's about 90$ used, taxes suck man, and the Switch is about 490$ WITHOUT GAMES) because of 3DS' *AMAZING* library of games. Vita could be the next PSP, but no. It's just another potential wasted by another money hungry company
I had my psp over 10 years can’t say for sure how old it is. Still works only replaced battery twice. I’m selling mine because I decided to upgrade to a fully pre modded version of Vita and it’s mind blowing. More games than I can possibly ever have time to play in my lifetime.
Modded can be done , so many videos here , honestly I don't tried yet , cos can destroy the console if is not working ,but ienjoy playing the few games I have , is the best console on the market , perfect said by u , when modded not enough time to play all of theme , have fun 😊
Vita has been doing wonders even before the Switch. Such a shame that this little gem was not used to its full potential. I am keeping mine though people see it as obsolete.
pons luma-as N3DS has more games, PSVITA is cooler if you hack it and put emulators on it, otherwise there are not that many enjoyable games as the 3ds. I have both.
And Square-Enix for that Final Fantasy Type-0 HD Vita fiasco. It was announced for the system, then quickly pulled down. For Vita they released FF X HD, World of Final Fantasy but not Type-0, ex PSP title which was never released in english. Great game, it belongs to Vita, I will never forgive them.
Honestly, Gravity Rush 2 is so huge and elaborate that the Vita would have melted if they tried to port it over... ...which is why that installment should have been Gravity Rush 3, with a Vita-based Gravity Rush 2 being a combination/expansion of the events of Raven's DLC story, and Kat's maid and spy DLC stories integrated into the kidnapping case from Gravity Rush: Overture, letting people get used to the retcon from Raven's story and introducing two specific important characters and the concept of Elementals in Hekesville, before a cliffhanger ending leads into the opening of the new designated Gravity Rush 3.
Jernario gill nice! I have wanted dead or alive 3 and 5 for a long time now for vita. I'm only buying physical games and I have around 60 physical so hopefully I'll buy em for a good price!
I would have chosen other games but, despite Sony's attitude, vita keeps receiving some great entries every month. Mary Skelter for instance is a little gem.
I got a blue slim Vita the other day with Child of Light and so far I'm enjoying it! I love the PSP and it's awesome to finally get a Vita after all these years.
It kinda sucks that Sony treated Ps Vita device like trash. I remember having this console given to me as a gift when I was 6 or 7 years old. I would play so much great games in it like Rayman Origins, Little Big Planet, Zinamals, Gravity Rush and so much more including horror games. Sadly in 2015, my Ps Vita begin have errors everytime I play, an error will pop up. It eventually died, wish Sony has kept this device I missed it :(.
I just bought myself the OLED vita and the aqua blue LCD both brand new. I think these consoles would be hard to find brand new in a few years, so I’ll be using the OLED online and the LCD one for homebrew. The VITA truly is an amazing console. I will be keeping both in my console collection.
I have a PS Vita slim and a Switch. One happy gamer. Now I can play Crash, Spyro, Jak & Daxter, Ratchet & Clank, Sly Cooper, Mario, Sonic, Ty, Yooka Laylee, Donkey Kong nd Rayman and I plan on getting Kai this summer. 😎
Prabably but psp had amazing games which vita dosent ...I mean psp has 2 exclusive god of war games ...and vita...sadly not even 1 and uncharted seems a bit dummed down to me than its console games ...the developer is different thats saying something...however god of war on psp is actually better than God of war 3
Still enjoy my PS Vita and never had any problems with it. Both touch screens work very well and the OLED screen still shows amazing details and colours. Was so impressed with the WiFi only version I bought. So I decided to go out and buy the 3G version. Both are in good working order years after buying them. Just wish Sony would continue making more cartridge games for the PS Vita.
Be aware though, in a month the servers will be closing down for good, the online portion will disappear (also making the platinum trophy unobtainable)
FFX-2 is so good. I’ve played and replayed it every couple of years and loved it every single time since it’s release. The fact that it’s on the vita is huge for the console
That Video Games Show I’ve only tried the PS4 version, and i cried a little at the end. Is the PS Vita version the exact same thing as the PS4 version, or is it a different story?
Thing on Tearaway dont go long no Multiplayer,Multiplayer would be great with a parkour against other ones you can see in a small window where you enemy is right now
Gotta say that I really enjoy your videos. They're extremely concise; too often, TH-cam video game reviews and lists are padded and protracted, but you always get to the point. Plus, your reviews are accurate, and your content is well-edited. One thing I noticed about your video is how many re-releases the Vita got. Given that the Vita wasn't exactly a huge commercial success, I wonder if this helped or hurt the Vita in the long run. Don't get me wrong; I think the Vita is fantastic, and its library is solid. Just a thought.
Thanks Barny I appreciate that man. I'm not a fan of the over the top nonsense on youtube either! So much better to just get on with it lol. Glad you enjoy the videos mate =)
The Vita was innovative and wonderful, but Sony just let it die out. It’s a shame because I enjoyed my Vita as much as I possibly could. I already own the entire list of games you mentioned and more. The thing that held the Vita back the most was the proprietary and extremely expensive memory. If Sony hadn’t done that and did not try to make it some console accessory, then it would have been wildly successful. Perhaps a price drop like the Nintendo 3DS had would have helped as well. Perhaps bundle it with PS4 releases as well, anything that would have helped. But it was doomed when Sony decide to focus on its incredibly well selling PS4 instead, leaving the Vita behind to simply bite the dust. Everywhere but Japan, anyway.
Fernando Ochoa There's still some great games coming for the vita in 2018 tho. Gintama, shakedown Hawaii, shovel Knight, digimon game and + so it's OK. At this point, fuck Sony! Most are indies but good ones! I also buy Japanese game sometimes. Gundam games are not hard to play
The thing is I think the Vita did really well, but they're greedy as shit, making exclusive expensive memory card, and never making discounts on the console nor the games. If Sony would just focus a teeny bit more on consumer wants, they would really be the best.
My favorite system ever. Unit 13, Killzone Mercenary, Persona 4 Golden, Persona 4 Dancing All Night, Little Big Planet, Sly Cooper 4, Uncharted Golden Abyss, Freedom Wars, Gravity Rush, Dangonropa 1 -3, Muramassa, Dragon's Crown, Conception 2, so many great games
I have one but a reboot of the vita with micro sd support would boom in todays market. I think they are missing and oppertunity if they don't try a re release.
Apparently Someone Yeah your right! Micro SD support and PS4 with vita bundle. Vita could get back to life! Sony usually always have bad starts with consoles but then they don't give up but unfortunately it seems like they don't care about the vita now. Not that I care, there's still some good games that are going to get released in 2018 but we need more AAA
I bought a white vita close to launch with the OLED screen and still love it till this day. It was way ahead of its time which is sad why Sony abandoned it so soon. Tales of Hearts R is my favorite hidden gem.
This is an awesome video man, great list of games! Makes me want to grab one of those Playstation TV things cause I can't get on with handhelds these days, but some of these games look great, surprised how good they look for the vita! :) Also love Gravity Rush, couldn't get into the sequel as much as the first, I literally platinumed the first game, maybe I was burnt out of that style...2 is very rinse and repeat I guess.
Yeah, I did play through quite alot of it, but was getting bored in some of the missions...it's still on my to finish list, so hopefully will get around to it eventually :)
The only problem is that not all PSV games work on the PS TV out of the box. However it can be jail broken to re-enable the games Sony had disabled from being played, happy days :)
My reason for getting the PS Vita was the MGS HD Collection. With the PSP i was finally able to play MGS1 on the go. With the PS Vita that also applied to MGS2 and 3 in addition having Peace Walker and Portable Ops on the system the Vita is one of my favorite handhelds. Mostly i've played allot of PS1 games like MGS1 and RE2 in addition to MGS2 on it. I was very hyped for games like Bioshock to come out on it, which it sadly never did. I do really like Mortal Kombat 9 on it and with the lack of a proper trials game ive played allot of Urban Trials Freestyle. There are games i wish had come to the system such as GTA: San Andreas Stories and Timesplitters. However with the Nintendo Switch out now i'm not really expecting many more solid releases for the Vita, rather just picking up the ones i'm missing. RPG fans will really enjoy the selection on the machine, unfortunately i am not an RPG fan. I do really like the switch however i don't like the size/weight of it. Once the tech gets better i hope they come out with a mini switch in the future which is more along the size of the PS Vita.
Great list! I would add Tearaway, Little Big Planet, and Unit 13. Plus other action-y games like Soul Sacrifice, Freedom Wars, and even Batman Arkham Origins Blackgate.
Most of the games on my vita are ps1 classic games Final Fantasy IV, V,VI, IX, tactics,chrono trigger,1 and 2 (final Fantasy origins), mega man x4 and x5,gex enter the gecko,castlevania SoTN
I definitely consider the entire Danganronpa Series to be a must buy for anybody that owns a PS4, PS VITA, and/or GAMING PC. The DANGANRONPA SERIES is a Masterpiece
Ricky Jaramillo Soul sacrifice and Soul sacrifice Delta are my favorite games too. Not only for the vita but all consoles! I have never played any other game with such a deep story and all the spells etc. Soul sacrifice FOREVER!!!
For me, Persona 4 Golden is the best game on the system. Although I miss here the Project Diva series as those games are pretty good rythmn games(and also I must include Persona 4 Dancing)
I bought vita at launch and having highest storage card and played the triple A titles. They are so great until I sold it when sony no longer support. Basically no more games. It’s really a potential handheld. Feel solid on hands and even better than switch but too bad sony’s luck used up all on psp. They are now focus on adult audience rather than kids. That’s why switch is instant success. Look at how colourful and attractive is with the switch.
Some Indie games are amazing on Vita (Hotline Miami, Spelunky, Guacemelee, Teslagrad), but if we're talking about non-Indies, then LBP Vita, Tearaway, and Zero Escape should be in the top 10.
I got the vita last year and ive got a ton of jrpgs to go through. But wh2I really love about it is the remote link to ps4. I can remote play my ps4 on my vita. Its great for playing when the TV is being used by others.
Hold up , Persona 4 Golden is not a re-release of its ps2 counterpart (SMT: Persona 4) but an enhanced port featuring more social links(characters) and changed story event plus some tweaks to its game mechanics which make it harder than the original port.
Man, I really like ps vita. They're good to play. But I don't understand why would they stop making a vita console. But, thanks to that, I was lucky to have one before they ceased it. If they still make an assassins's creed, I would get one. Been looking for it ever since they're out of stock. Well.... I feel sorry for the sony. But no matter if they ceased the ps vita, I still like to play it always. 😊
For the games, I only owned 7. Metal gear, nfs 2012, ffx and x2, Resident evil, god of war, and call of duty. I finished 6 of them, except 1. the ffx2.
Great list for a great platform. Vita is an awesome console and has great titles both new and old as well as AAA and indy. Why Sony gave up on this powerful system is beyond me!!!
I agree with most of the games on this list except for AC Liberation. That game is so frustrating, full of glitches, I had to restart the game several times because the character got stuck in ridiculous places, I hated it.
KING ICE nah man the psp had a much much more robust game library. The vita is an amazing piece of hardware tho with some solid games. But it's library pales in comparison to the psp
Dont forget Resistance Burning skies also Is AAA CONSOLE ON THE GO GRAPHIC. PS VITA DEAD OR ALIVE 5 PLUS ALSO IS EXACTLY SAMES AS PS3 VERSION. Assassin's creed, Uncharted golden abyss perfect game I completed all trophies and on all difficulties.
Missing out on Trails of Cold Steel and that's a crying shame. The two parts of this series gives Persona a run for its money as a character exploration title, while beating it hands down in terms of meta-narrative.
Robin Šer You can buy it for the Ps3 (and perhaps for Ps4), and then you could transfer the game to the Vita. But believe me I checked multiple times, and couldn't find it in the store with the Vita.
It seems it´s not available in your country, I´m looking on Valkyria Chronicles 2 on my Vita here in Czech republic right now, in PSP section. But it seems you got it through PS3, so that´s good.
Sadly i don't owe the PS3. This was only one advice from the internet. But i live in Hungary near the north-west border. Perhaps if i visit the Czech republic or Slovakia (i do it several times yearly) i can buy the game..
Waiting for mine in the mail and am having such a delema to mod or not to mod, I would be great to mod but I just can not get a clear idea on how safe it is because I have had my psn since 2008 and also use it for twitch so I just don't know if it is worth it yet to me...
if you were to hack it just to use sd2vita and emulators, i think you probably won’t get banned. but if you hack online and hack in tropies, ur defined getting banned
Having the launch PS Vita I'm planning to buy my second OLED Vita if I find one brand new. It's a risk for me because Sony might announce a PS Vita 3000 or something similar however the possibility of it happening is almost next to none.
Pleased to say I have 7 out of 10 of these! I'm worried about the fighting games like Marvel Vs Capcom in case I mash the console to bits! Persona 4 Golden has tempted me, but alas I'm not that big an RPG fan. Love the videos, fella!
Random person here but to everyone that likes lore and good gameplay I recommend Soul Sacrifice Delta. Good story with action and tragedy. Takes some grinding; you really can relate this title to Monster Hunter. 😏💪 4.5 outta 5....that title alone got me playing Bloodborne(favorite of the Souls series) along with Dark Souls 3.
Vita didn't need Sony's support to begin with, it still has games produced by niche devs, which is great as its game will be catered to its intended audience and won't be riddled with sjw needless complaints like popular games do.
I remember playing gravity rush back when I still had a vita, planning on getting another vita but I always hated motion controls with gravity rush, had to mess about moving the vita around trying to hit enemies or very specific parts
+Edreen Pasang I would recommend getting one Edreen. Not many AAA games get released for it anymore but there is a huge library of ps1, psp and vita games available for it with newer smaller games being released regularly. Thanks for watching and welcome to the channel!
Edreen Pasang Dont get the vita i just had one and sold it for a switch.Trust me get a switch u wont regret it .It has great graphics for a handheld and you can play so many games anywhere,if you have somebody with you, you can play two players (split-screen) on the go
I'm with That Video Games Show. I own and love my New 2DS XL, DS lite, and PS Vita. I keep and collect my consoles and games that I cherish. I am a gamer, and I love the Vita. Don't let the haters discourage you. I love how all the PS1 games I bought for my PS3 transfer over to my VITA for FREE. I love the PSP collection available digitally, AND as you can tell from the video above... there are a ton of excellent VITA games. There are hundreds of games available for it. I could name a ton for you but I'll save you the time. It all boils to is this: The VITA has been out for 5 years already and as with any console, it's only a matter of time before it retires. If you can find one for cheap or get a good deal, then I'd say buy it. Do your research and find out what games your interested in and see if that'll push you over the edge enough to want to buy one.
OMG if you like video games then you NEED to get this console it's very fun especially with friends. You don't even need a mic to talk in a party. It has plenty of triple a titles too. Don't worry about multiplayer games like freedom wars and cod declassified( which I play a lot) because there are still plenty of people playing them and will be for a LONG time since playstation is clearly NOT making a sequel. I find this console a great buy especially for the price it goes for now-a-days. It WAY more powerful than any handheld I've ever heard( the switch is more of a console in my opinion) of and it's especially amazing if you own a ps3 or ps4 for the remote play and/or extra controller functions( though I wouldn't play multiplayer on the remote play functionality for the lag). But don't let that hold you back as I got my vita LONG before I got my ps3. This handheld is a great bye even if you're not an RPG fan( though there are plenty of indie titles too that are amazing and are still being made for the vita) so I would definitely recommend getting this, don't let the haters fool you they've probably never even owned the vita and just want to play on their switch with. If you do come to your senses and pick one up(the slim is better for long gaming sessions) my PSN is supersara333.
The Vita had potential it could have been more than just a system for ports and jrpgs the Vita was more than capable of handling games that you would get on PS4 many on a lower frame rate but definitely possible it could have had its own games hell it could run psp and ps1 games why not PS2 games as well Sony really could have had a great system here but most of it's potential went down the drain
I would like to also tell of other great games that are on this system that rival the ones on thist list id say. Legend of heroes trails of cold steel 1, and 2 (you play as Rean who gets accepted into thors military academy where you bond and team up with your classmates in the experimental class VII in a fashion so similar to persona you could just say its a perdona game in a steampunk setting) then there is the dangonronpa series which is like a pheonix wright game but with a twist.... i will edit this when i go through my collection again.
Freedom Wars is seriously under-represented in the comment section and this list. One of the most fun, long lasting, and best looking games on the system.
Yes, freedom wars is my favorite game in the vita, next is most wanted and third is uncharted. Too bad i lost all my info on freedom wars because of the region issues i had and the fact that i cant use more than one account on the vita.
I think so. There's a large library of games on the store for download, from the ps one, the psp and the vita, not to Mention the indie games on there. I still play my vita to this day.
The Vita is underrated
Shame on you Sony for dumping the Vita!
Valentino Harpa why did they abandon it
EmpireZ Creed mainly because of the poor sales, the library of the Vita is pretty boring, unless you're into JRPGs. It had a few amazing games, but many average games (not bad, just plain average)
They make greatness then walk away.... Good thing it was recognized by all the indie developers.
Space Asylum - Gaming in Space! Exactly, it was a portable indie gaming console. Mostly RPGs though. So it may not be everybody's "cup of tea". I would have purchased the Vita if it has more *NEW* first-party AAA games (A.K.A exclusives).

Vita could be the next PSP, but no. It's just another potential wasted by another money hungry company
500 bucks for switch? Nope. 3DS has a good library and I actually had one before the VIta but ever since I got a Vita I haven't looked back. lol.
I had my psp over 10 years can’t say for sure how old it is. Still works only replaced battery twice. I’m selling mine because I decided to upgrade to a fully pre modded version of Vita and it’s mind blowing. More games than I can possibly ever have time to play in my lifetime.
Modded can be done , so many videos here , honestly I don't tried yet , cos can destroy the console if is not working ,but ienjoy playing the few games I have , is the best console on the market , perfect said by u , when modded not enough time to play all of theme , have fun 😊
Vita has been doing wonders even before the Switch. Such a shame that this little gem was not used to its full potential. I am keeping mine though people see it as obsolete.
Wolve Rine still consider it the best handheld I ever played and this is coming from someone who owns a psp 3ds and switch which is great btw
Wolve Rine hey I have someone selling a psp vita for 70. Should I get it?
70 what, zimbabwe dollars?
I need help, I am torn to what to buy N3DS or PSVITA? HELP PLEASE!?
pons luma-as N3DS has more games, PSVITA is cooler if you hack it and put emulators on it, otherwise there are not that many enjoyable games as the 3ds. I have both.
I'll never forgive sony for not giving us gravity rush 2 on the vita biggest back stab ever
And Square-Enix for that Final Fantasy Type-0 HD Vita fiasco. It was announced for the system, then quickly pulled down. For Vita they released FF X HD, World of Final Fantasy but not Type-0, ex PSP title which was never released in english. Great game, it belongs to Vita, I will never forgive them.
CallMej00j gravity rush is a great game!
Honestly, Gravity Rush 2 is so huge and elaborate that the Vita would have melted if they tried to port it over...
...which is why that installment should have been Gravity Rush 3, with a Vita-based Gravity Rush 2 being a combination/expansion of the events of Raven's DLC story, and Kat's maid and spy DLC stories integrated into the kidnapping case from Gravity Rush: Overture, letting people get used to the retcon from Raven's story and introducing two specific important characters and the concept of Elementals in Hekesville, before a cliffhanger ending leads into the opening of the new designated Gravity Rush 3.
soul sacrifice - one of the most under rated ps vita game .. it is one of my favorite games
Daryl Jett De Peralta yeah I even name all the female characters I make in mmo/rpgs Sortiara
I would trade final fantasy x for soul sacrifice
I was just about to say that soul sacrifice delta should have been on the list when I saw your comment, I 100% agree
I still play my Vita to this day .... Yea shame on you Sony.... I'm playing dead or alive 5 plus now ....
Jernario gill nice! I have wanted dead or alive 3 and 5 for a long time now for vita. I'm only buying physical games and I have around 60 physical so hopefully I'll buy em for a good price!
OCC fuckin A..... I know for sure your library is godly
referral madness yes it is
@@belto3149 Xtreme 3 is pretty good tho
Yeah. I still dont have it tho :( but I'm now at 90 physical games on vita :)
I would have chosen other games but, despite Sony's attitude, vita keeps receiving some great entries every month. Mary Skelter for instance is a little gem.
I got a blue slim Vita the other day with Child of Light and so far I'm enjoying it! I love the PSP and it's awesome to finally get a Vita after all these years.
Not a playstation person, but this console looks great!
It is great and you should buy one
I've always been on the Nintendo side in everything, but vita os great and i buyed an ps3
It kinda sucks that Sony treated Ps Vita device like trash. I remember having this console given to me as a gift when I was 6 or 7 years old. I would play so much great games in it like Rayman Origins, Little Big Planet, Zinamals, Gravity Rush and so much more including horror games.

the ps vita would have sold better if it was called the psp 2
GameCompleters100% I think the same.
Prabably but psp had amazing games which vita dosent ...I mean psp has 2 exclusive god of war games ...and vita...sadly not even 1 and uncharted seems a bit dummed down to me than its console games ...the developer is different thats saying something...however god of war on psp is actually better than God of war 3
@I can wait Forever Maybe nowadays with the 1000 handheld emulators but back when the PS Vita was first released I highly doubt it
and if they didnt pull that stupid memory card shit
In my opinion, Uncharted: Golden abyss is better than the first uncharted, and to be fair, the vita did get god of war 1 and 2 ports for it
Still enjoy my PS Vita and never had any problems with it.
Both touch screens work very well
and the OLED screen still shows amazing details and colours.
Was so impressed with the
WiFi only version I bought.
So I decided to go out and buy the
3G version. Both are in good working order years after buying them.
Just wish Sony would continue making more cartridge games for the PS Vita.
YES! Wipeout 2048 is my favorite Wipeout game and favorite Vita game ❤️
Love me some wipeout! Really want to try out the PS4 version.
It's a great port! I need to get a PS4 Pro to really see it shine in 4K
Be aware though, in a month the servers will be closing down for good, the online portion will disappear (also making the platinum trophy unobtainable)
FFX-2 is so good. I’ve played and replayed it every couple of years and loved it every single time since it’s release. The fact that it’s on the vita is huge for the console
I'd include Tearaway and Trails of Cold Steel too. Both awesome games.
+Gordon Freemason Tearaway is a great game! Have you tried the PS4 version?
That Video Games Show I’ve only tried the PS4 version, and i cried a little at the end. Is the PS Vita version the exact same thing as the PS4 version, or is it a different story?
I’d also recommend Soul Sacrifice for a Bloodborne-like game.
Carl DEE Morris2 soul sacrifice delta is amazing, but lol its not a "souls" game.
Its a twist in the hunter genre.
Thing on Tearaway dont go long no Multiplayer,Multiplayer would be great with a parkour against other ones you can see in a small window where you enemy is right now
Soul Sacrifice Delta is the best and it should be on this list
Gotta say that I really enjoy your videos. They're extremely concise; too often, TH-cam video game reviews and lists are padded and protracted, but you always get to the point. Plus, your reviews are accurate, and your content is well-edited.

OCC don't forget steins gate elite and Catherine for 2018.
Zoltán Szalay Yeah. Was just naming the best ones. There is actually a lot more games announced on the Vita for 2018.
The thing is I think the Vita did really well, but they're greedy as shit, making exclusive expensive memory card, and never making discounts on the console nor the games. If Sony would just focus a teeny bit more on consumer wants, they would really be the best.
My favorite system ever. Unit 13, Killzone Mercenary, Persona 4 Golden, Persona 4 Dancing All Night, Little Big Planet, Sly Cooper 4, Uncharted Golden Abyss, Freedom Wars, Gravity Rush, Dangonropa 1 -3, Muramassa, Dragon's Crown, Conception 2, so many great games
I have one but a reboot of the vita with micro sd support would boom in todays market. I think they are missing and oppertunity if they don't try a re release.

Yeah, I did play through quite alot of it, but was getting bored in some of the missions...it's still on my to finish list, so hopefully will get around to it eventually :)
The only problem is that not all PSV games work on the PS TV out of the box. However it can be jail broken to re-enable the games Sony had disabled from being played, happy days :)
Haha agreed dylan that was a bit of a silly decision on sony part lol I didnt know about that hack though! Will look into it for Jack =)
My reason for getting the PS Vita was the MGS HD Collection. With the PSP i was finally able to play MGS1 on the go. With the PS Vita that also applied to MGS2 and 3 in addition having Peace Walker and Portable Ops on the system the Vita is one of my favorite handhelds.
Mostly i've played allot of PS1 games like MGS1 and RE2 in addition to MGS2 on it. I was very hyped for games like Bioshock to come out on it, which it sadly never did. I do really like Mortal Kombat 9 on it and with the lack of a proper trials game ive played allot of Urban Trials Freestyle. There are games i wish had come to the system such as GTA: San Andreas Stories and Timesplitters.
However with the Nintendo Switch out now i'm not really expecting many more solid releases for the Vita, rather just picking up the ones i'm missing. RPG fans will really enjoy the selection on the machine, unfortunately i am not an RPG fan.
I do really like the switch however i don't like the size/weight of it. Once the tech gets better i hope they come out with a mini switch in the future which is more along the size of the PS Vita.
You wish come true bro they make the switch light
Great list! I would add Tearaway, Little Big Planet, and Unit 13. Plus other action-y games like Soul Sacrifice, Freedom Wars, and even Batman Arkham Origins Blackgate.
I had killzone mercenary it was AWESOME trust him it’s a must have
3 years later I'm still playing with my vita. Love it to death.
Such a great handheld!
Most of the games on my vita are ps1 classic games Final Fantasy IV, V,VI, IX, tactics,chrono trigger,1 and 2 (final Fantasy origins), mega man x4 and x5,gex enter the gecko,castlevania SoTN
I definitely consider the entire Danganronpa Series to be a must buy for anybody that owns a PS4, PS VITA, and/or GAMING PC. The DANGANRONPA SERIES is a Masterpiece
Their on switch too
I bought a Vita very recently. I want every game shown in this video.
For me the true value of this handheld is just ps 1 classic, nostalgia ftw!
No Soul Sacrifice Delta? that is still my favorite Vita Game
Ricky Jaramillo Soul sacrifice and Soul sacrifice Delta are my favorite games too. Not only for the vita but all consoles! I have never played any other game with such a deep story and all the spells etc. Soul sacrifice FOREVER!!!
For me, Persona 4 Golden is the best game on the system. Although I miss here the Project Diva series as those games are pretty good rythmn games(and also I must include Persona 4 Dancing)
I bought vita at launch and having highest storage card and played the triple A titles. They are so great until I sold it when sony no longer support. Basically no more games. It’s really a potential handheld. Feel solid on hands and even better than switch but too bad sony’s luck used up all on psp. They are now focus on adult audience rather than kids. That’s why switch is instant success. Look at how colourful and attractive is with the switch.
why abuse the blurr effect -_-
Sony rarely messes up and the PSP was a household name back in the day I don't know why they gave up on it
Some Indie games are amazing on Vita (Hotline Miami, Spelunky, Guacemelee, Teslagrad), but if we're talking about non-Indies, then LBP Vita, Tearaway, and Zero Escape should be in the top 10.
I got the vita last year and ive got a ton of jrpgs to go through. But wh2I really love about it is the remote link to ps4. I can remote play my ps4 on my vita. Its great for playing when the TV is being used by others.
Good list. I have all of these and even though these aren’t all favorites of mine, I agree they are the right starting place for must own Vita games.
I know how many haters there are for the Resistance entry on the Vita. But I love it! On my top 10 for sure.
Hold up , Persona 4 Golden is not a re-release of its ps2 counterpart (SMT: Persona 4) but an enhanced port featuring more social links(characters) and changed story event plus some tweaks to its game mechanics which make it harder than the original port.
Vita = Life.
Mine has 128gb off games, PS1, vita, N64, SNES, NES, everything that you need for gaming outdoor.
Cool list, man. But what's up with the long blurred transition?
Man, I really like ps vita. They're good to play. But I don't understand why would they stop making a vita console. But, thanks to that, I was lucky to have one before they ceased it. If they still make an assassins's creed, I would get one. Been looking for it ever since they're out of stock. Well.... I feel sorry for the sony. But no matter if they ceased the ps vita, I still like to play it always. 😊
For the games, I only owned 7. Metal gear, nfs 2012, ffx and x2, Resident evil, god of war, and call of duty. I finished 6 of them, except 1. the ffx2.
I love how KillZone still has online multi player support
I'd include toukiden: Kiwami and toukiden 2. I spend 100 hours on each of them and they are still fun to play!
I own a Vita and I still play it
My favorite game is MLB 14
What was the intro game right before assassin's Creed?
YetiMacheteHD persona 4 golden
I have both consoles, but i think that if sony really treated vita like it deserve, switch would never stand a chance
Great list for a great platform. Vita is an awesome console and has great titles both new and old as well as AAA and indy. Why Sony gave up on this powerful system is beyond me!!!
You should include sly cooper thieves in time , this game is gold
I agree with most of the games on this list except for AC Liberation. That game is so frustrating, full of glitches, I had to restart the game several times because the character got stuck in ridiculous places, I hated it.
PlayStation Vita system is the number one handheld of all times
Got to agree man! It deserverd to sell a lot better!
One less lonely memer No the PS Vita has undertale the switch doesn't.
+One less lonely memer pfft dream on
Fonso128 Android and Pc has Undertale...
KING ICE nah man the psp had a much much more robust game library. The vita is an amazing piece of hardware tho with some solid games. But it's library pales in comparison to the psp
Dont forget Resistance Burning skies also Is AAA CONSOLE ON THE GO GRAPHIC.
PS VITA DEAD OR ALIVE 5 PLUS ALSO IS EXACTLY SAMES AS PS3 VERSION.
Assassin's creed, Uncharted golden abyss perfect game I completed all trophies and on all difficulties.
I'm a proud owner of a PsVita and i do not regret my purchase! There are plenty games i want for my collection!
Thanks for the video.
And the god of war collection you must have
Great list man next video should be Top Nintendo switch games or Nintendo switch VS PSvita
Cheers dude the poll is up on twitter now man! Drop a vote =)
That Video Games Show ok
zelda alone beats the whole vita library
these are the games i expected to see. Im glad I didnt miss anything on the vita. Thanks for showing vita love :)
+The Isolated Gamerz glad you enjoyed the video!
Missing out on Trails of Cold Steel and that's a crying shame. The two parts of this series gives Persona a run for its money as a character exploration title, while beating it hands down in terms of meta-narrative.
I bought the PS Vita because i wanted to play Valkyria Chronicles 2.
It's not available in Europe :/
Um, I´m from Europe and I had tons of opportunities buying it in the past, saw it at PS store
Robin Šer You can buy it for the Ps3 (and perhaps for Ps4), and then you could transfer the game to the Vita.
But believe me I checked multiple times, and couldn't find it in the store with the Vita.
It seems it´s not available in your country, I´m looking on Valkyria Chronicles 2 on my Vita here in Czech republic right now, in PSP section. But it seems you got it through PS3, so that´s good.
Sadly i don't owe the PS3. This was only one advice from the internet. But i live in Hungary near the north-west border. Perhaps if i visit the Czech republic or Slovakia (i do it several times yearly) i can buy the game..
So sorry it´s not available around you mate. That´s kinda shocking.. And if so, have a nice trip!
Tearaway should be added to the list, it's the only game that truly makes perfect use of the Vita's features
Great content , thanks for sharing
Waiting for mine in the mail and am having such a delema to mod or not to mod, I would be great to mod but I just can not get a clear idea on how safe it is because I have had my psn since 2008 and also use it for twitch so I just don't know if it is worth it yet to me...
if you were to hack it just to use sd2vita and emulators, i think you probably won’t get banned. but if you hack online and hack in tropies, ur defined getting banned
No Soul Sacrifice? Freedom Wars? I played those A LOT when I had my VITA.
I really wish this handheld have gotten more support from the company , it is so underrated yet has so many good games..
Having the launch PS Vita I'm planning to buy my second OLED Vita if I find one brand new. It's a risk for me because Sony might announce a PS Vita 3000 or something similar however the possibility of it happening is almost next to none.
The launch Vita is glorious! Playing Jet Set Radio on that OLED screen is a sight to behold! Shame sony gave up on the system!
thnaks you for the video. best regards!
Is it worth to Buy a PS Vita in 2020?
Assassins creed, uncharted, call of duty is fun. I also downloaded grand Turismo the PSP version to it.
This over the 3DS any day. The matured design of the console and tons of unique games got me busier than my 3DS ever hoped to.
While the Vita may have better graphics, the number of quality games on the 3DS beats out what I've seen of the Vita.
Good Content Sir! Subbed!
I love MGS3 on ps2 but I thought it was impossible to play on the vita
Interesting.. What just a struggle with the control or something more?
Pleased to say I have 7 out of 10 of these! I'm worried about the fighting games like Marvel Vs Capcom in case I mash the console to bits! Persona 4 Golden has tempted me, but alas I'm not that big an RPG fan. Love the videos, fella!
You have good taste sir!
TheGeordieTiger Lol are you serious about smashing the console? I play Hatsune Miku on my vita so you shouldn't worry about a fighting game
Did you remote play all the games?
The metal gear solid collection is not in HD, it runs basically the same res as the PS2 on VITA
Random person here but to everyone that likes lore and good gameplay I recommend Soul Sacrifice Delta. Good story with action and tragedy. Takes some grinding; you really can relate this title to Monster Hunter. 😏💪 4.5 outta 5....that title alone got me playing Bloodborne(favorite of the Souls series) along with Dark Souls 3.
Soul Sacrifice is a great choice!
@Terry Thomas👍
In terms of story, it is perhaps the best game on the Vita
Vita still going strong in my collection.
Vita didn't need Sony's support to begin with, it still has games produced by niche devs, which is great as its game will be catered to its intended audience and won't be riddled with sjw needless complaints like popular games do.
Soul Sacrifice was great too
Trails of Cold steel 1&2 is missing in the list
The vita is a brilliant console,why they never made more games for it is beyond me.
No love for Housemarque? I think both Resogun and particularly Super Stardust Delta, are fantastic games on Vita.
I love the pivita I loved it still play it to this day love every game I have on it
Where is Freedom Wars?
I remember playing gravity rush back when I still had a vita, planning on getting another vita but I always hated motion controls with gravity rush, had to mess about moving the vita around trying to hit enemies or very specific parts
You played the Hot shots golf music during ultimate Marvel vs Capcom....... my 2 favorite games right there 👍🎮
are you saying assassin creed on the psp sucked? cause that was the first one on handheld
I have all these games. Great video btw
The first fully fledged portable assassins creed was ac bloodlines.
Hi guyz new here , i considered to get a vita but browsing throught the comment seem like vita in trouble . Should i get it or hold it .?
+Edreen Pasang I would recommend getting one Edreen. Not many AAA games get released for it anymore but there is a huge library of ps1, psp and vita games available for it with newer smaller games being released regularly. Thanks for watching and welcome to the channel!
Edreen Pasang Dont get the vita i just had one and sold it for a switch.Trust me get a switch u wont regret it
.It has great graphics for a handheld and you can play so many games anywhere,if you have somebody with you, you can play two players (split-screen) on the go
I'm with That Video Games Show. I own and love my New 2DS XL, DS lite, and PS Vita. I keep and collect my consoles and games that I cherish. I am a gamer, and I love the Vita. Don't let the haters discourage you.
I love how all the PS1 games I bought for my PS3 transfer over to my VITA for FREE. I love the PSP collection available digitally, AND as you can tell from the video above... there are a ton of excellent VITA games. There are hundreds of games available for it. I could name a ton for you but I'll save you the time. It all boils to is this:
The VITA has been out for 5 years already and as with any console, it's only a matter of time before it retires. If you can find one for cheap or get a good deal, then I'd say buy it. Do your research and find out what games your interested in and see if that'll push you over the edge enough to want to buy one.
OMG if you like video games then you NEED to get this console it's very fun especially with friends. You don't even need a mic to talk in a party. It has plenty of triple a titles too. Don't worry about multiplayer games like freedom wars and cod declassified( which I play a lot) because there are still plenty of people playing them and will be for a LONG time since playstation is clearly NOT making a sequel. I find this console a great buy especially for the price it goes for now-a-days. It WAY more powerful than any handheld I've ever heard( the switch is more of a console in my opinion) of and it's especially amazing if you own a ps3 or ps4 for the remote play and/or extra controller functions( though I wouldn't play multiplayer on the remote play functionality for the lag). But don't let that hold you back as I got my vita LONG before I got my ps3. This handheld is a great bye even if you're not an RPG fan( though there are plenty of indie titles too that are amazing and are still being made for the vita) so I would definitely recommend getting this, don't let the haters fool you they've probably never even owned the vita and just want to play on their switch with. If you do come to your senses and pick one up(the slim is better for long gaming sessions) my PSN is supersara333.
Stickooo!! Woo This video is for vita not switch dude. You should really get a life instead of writing BS.
The Vita had potential it could have been more than just a system for ports and jrpgs the Vita was more than capable of handling games that you would get on PS4 many on a lower frame rate but definitely possible it could have had its own games hell it could run psp and ps1 games why not PS2 games as well Sony really could have had a great system here but most of it's potential went down the drain
I would like to also tell of other great games that are on this system that rival the ones on thist list id say. Legend of heroes trails of cold steel 1, and 2 (you play as Rean who gets accepted into thors military academy where you bond and team up with your classmates in the experimental class VII in a fashion so similar to persona you could just say its a perdona game in a steampunk setting) then there is the dangonronpa series which is like a pheonix wright game but with a twist.... i will edit this when i go through my collection again.
Thanks.. i want to buy vita this year... I think i have to have this console.. I will put in my list of your good choice games.. Thanks again..
Have fun!
May I know your intro song? Plz, thank you.
I love the Vita so much... I bought the neon orange version from Japan. Planning on buying red one some time in the future
Freedom Wars is seriously under-represented in the comment section and this list. One of the most fun, long lasting, and best looking games on the system.
Yes, freedom wars is my favorite game in the vita, next is most wanted and third is uncharted. Too bad i lost all my info on freedom wars because of the region issues i had and the fact that i cant use more than one account on the vita.
Is vita still woth to buy this year 2019? Does vita has a lot of games to offer? Can you download games on vita?
I think so. There's a large library of games on the store for download, from the ps one, the psp and the vita, not to Mention the indie games on there. I still play my vita to this day.
I felt sick playing the assassin creed game when i got to the trailing mission
