Not sure why they would bother. Vita has no games worth buying on it according to most on this forum :p anybody wanting Vita software would already have bought one I presume. The rest are all on PS3 and PS4 anyway.

Actually, the Vita has a lot of JRPGs, those usually sell well on Nintendo systems (pretty sure the Persona games would sell like gangbusters). And Nintendo could help localise or advertise some of the smaller ones. Maybe even release retail versions so that the first year doesn't suffer a drought.

Thank you missed the sarcasm ;)

However at the same time, I'm sure they'd have already put them on 3DS if they thought there was much of a market there for them. It's not as if most of them would be too demanding for the 3DS. Plus from the very limited data we have from the dual format releases, the Vita versions tended to sell better. I think it's a niche market firmly entrenched on the PlayStation eco system for a lot of these games.

Do JRPGs usually sell that well on Nintendo systems? The recent ones on 3DS have been putting out more Vita like figures.
