How long did it took you until you can enjoy the games without needing to flip through the dictionary every minute or so. Thinking of learning but discouraged by the time required.

A couple of years I think. I didn't start out with the intention of learning japanese though, so I think it can be done in a year.

After watching hundreds of different anime series, I was able to understand the spoken language, then I thought since I understand voice might as well learn the letters. After learning Hiragana, you can read most shonnen/shoujo manga easily since they have furigana.  When reading you can see the kanji and try to learn them. Off course eventully I had to learn kanji the traditional way, but honestly most of my learning experience was fun since it was basically reading manga and watching anime(also playing VN and using agth + ITH + Translation aggregator to capture text).

I know what you mean, and I'm not a fan of that practice as well since it just gets annoying after a while to be greeted by dozens of copys of either Invizimals: Das Bündnis, Tearaway or Little Big Planet Vita, but it's really not a problem exclusive to the Vita, at least not here. Not the best example (since the system's also struggling), but I happen to have a picture of it, is this WiiU section:

Also, what you can't see, behind/after that TV thing-y, theres one row each until the Wii section for Assassin's Creed III, IV, Batman Arkham Origins, Arkham City and Tekken Tag Tournament 2 iirc.

Also, that same store has a 7 by 5 shelf almost full of that new (?) Yu-Gi-Oh! 3DS game and lots of repeating 3DS software to fill space in general, too.

Oh, she was definitely creepy and weird. But man, everyone, especially Hiyoko, treated her like shit. I felt so bad for her :(

I like her!

Oh, I know  :)

The final evidence of the first trial was  hilarious.

Since nothing much is going on at the moment, here's some indie shit that seems to have been missed.

Outpost 13 coming to Vita (looks good!)

Also, Imageepoch have trademarked "Stella Glow"

http://gematsu.com/2014/09/imageepoch-trademarks-stella-glow

It's probably not for Vita, but it got me thinking.  Imageepoch faffed around on DS for like 3 years when they first started as a studio, then became pretty much PSP-only for about 5 years until the end of its life.

Right now, they seem to be developing pretty much soley for 3DS (Toshin Toshi; SoniPro).  I wonder if we're going to see something similar to last generation when they suddenly switch over to Vita.

I still don't quite understand why they were so adamant on releasing on 3DS with those two games.  Compared to Vita, it was a massive audience mis-match if ever I saw one.

So Outpost 13 is The Thing, where you are the Thing? Sold.

Thanks for the advice, I wanted to buy Ni no Kuni but didn't, I'll try it in japanese !
Yeah, Mikan sure is... nice, and it was the second "social link" I maxed.

The final evidence of the first trial was really hard, I knew what it was but didn't know its name in english !

Oh and also, Moon Hunters looks excellent.
