Squilliam said: Only 4/11 of those systems lacked backwards compatibility with a large range of titles:
PSP PSV Xbox Gamecube
So arguably they launched with fewer game titles than systems which had access to previous libraries of games.
The Vita does have reverse compatability if you bought your games via PSN. Although technically it's only 275 (and about half of them are minis and doesn't include a lot of bigger titles like Gran Turismo, Ratchet & Clank, and Star Wars Battlefront) when the system launches so your original post still is valid in the sense that it's still below all of the others except the other 3 you mentioned.
There may just be 275 titles available on the PSN. If that's the case, I'm wrong. It's been verified that even it a game isn't currently on the Vita's version of the PSN, any game that you download to the PS3 (PSP, PS1, Minis) will work on the Vita. You have the entire non-PS3 library for play on the Vita. This is a good thing because, while I'm buying a Vita in two days, there's not a single game of those 25 that I want to buy. I'm gonna grab Uncharted just to have something to show off.
How? I will not allow me to download FF8 from the Vita psn, do I need to move it over from my ps3? I was able to download Dissidia though.
Yeah. Prior to my decision to get a Vita, I did a megaton of research. Greg Miller from IGN posted a video on youtube showing that, to get a game that's not available on the Vita's PSN, all you have to do is download it with your PS3 and then transfer it to the Vita. He even showed that you can copy your PSP saves to the PS3 and then transfer that save from the PS3 to the Vita. He demonstrated it by downloading Peace Walker (currently not avaialble on the VIta) to his PS3, copying the game to the Vita, and then transferring his 70 hour (his words, not mine) game save from his PSP to the PS3 to the Vita. It gave me a hard on.
Did they show it working though? Cause I wanna grab Valkyrie Chronicles, Gurumin, Medievil, and a few more.
@Xbbjf9s FF8 isn't working yet cause the PSX emulator isn't up and running.
Showed it working. Even showed the right analog support for Peace Walker. Yes, it shall be amazing. This is the reason why I'm getting a 32GB memory card. Gonna port most of my PSP games to the Vita. May even sell my PSP or give it to my cousin or nephew or something. They'll have access to my entire library of twenty something PSP games on my PSP. I'll have access to my entire library of twenty something PSP game on my PSV.
