No, you can play them on 3DS, PS4 and other consoles.

PS4 and other home consoles aren't an option if I want to play these games outside home.

And most of the (few) multiplatform games that are on 3DS and Vita are gimped on 3DS.

You said it well... that's why it's a niche system with lackluster support: it only serves to the purpose of people that want to play average games on the go. I wouldn't say getting a bunch of indies and inferior ports of japanese games is having a good support, or being alive. It's more like a zombie state. It's different than PS4, for example, which is getting the top quality japanese games.



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

My local Best Buy doesn't have any vita anything anymore. Cases, memory cards, games, nothing. Not sure about other locations or stores.

Touchy subject for people on this site...

You can't find the Vita on store shelves in most places in the US now, yet games are still being localized because enough Vita owners still buy games for it. Why are these people needing to move on again?

Yeah no it isn't. Infact it is STILL getting games.

It's dead. Wii U is still getting games too.

Thanks to Henkaku the Vita is more alive than ever before imo.

Don't hurt the people who still live in their own little Vita world, like Kresnik. That's just cruel.

Oh oh you gonna upset Dr Vita.........

In Japan it's selling very well. It still has games releasing for it all the time. Limited Run Games right now has quite a few Vita games up. vita is niche in the US but very much alive in Japan. Witch Switch out the Vita's days are numbered but as it stands now,it's not dead. I still love my Vita and have no reason to "move on"

Lastly what is even the point of this thread?

How many times have we read an article saying "The Vita is not dead" or "Reasons to buy a Vita this year" and other stuff like that? As a gamer who was in love with the Vita for years, it hurts me to say this. But the Sony's Playstation Vita is dead. It's been dead for years now. We need to move on.

I recently read an article and it was something about The Vita's gpu can now be used at 100%. So Developers can make the games with better graphics. There was comments about how "it has a chance" to compete with the Nintendo Switch now and no... just no. Like yeah the Vita is more powerful than ever now but it's too late. They can make another poor port an it'll do nothing. They already marketed it, people lost interest and it's an old machine. Back then it was super powerful as the PS3 but that was over 5 years ago! I was 14 in middle school when it released and I'm turning 20 and I'm in University. It's over.  

iPad's, tablets, phones suprassed the Vita's power back in 2014 and theres phones releasing every year so there's no way the Vita can do anything to gain the mojo it never had. Sony can make the memory cards really cheap, make super great ports from PS3, bring back the Apps, market it, make a 3rd model and sell it really cheap... and it's still not going to do anything.

I'm sorry for being negative but it's true. Let's just move on and focus on the Switch, PS4 Pro, Scorpio, The Last of us 2 and Red Dead Redemption and other popular games. I'm still suprised people are still talking about the Vita. It's best year was 2013, sales went down and Vita died in 2014. 

Nintation Message: Sorry for not making Threads lately. Life just got spiced up and I been busy. I'll try to make more threads like how I used to.  

If you really loved the vita you would not say anything like that, such Heresy.
