No offense, but I see this as a list of reasons NOT to buy a PSV. It's all enhanced remakes of older PS2/PS3 games, PS3-PSV or 3DS-PSV multiplaftorm games, and lower quality spinoffs of main franchises.

The only worthy games on that list are Uncharted and Gravity Rush (and maybe Killzone if it's there)

Not to be a ass, but Nintendo offers more 1st party exclusive games on the 3DS then this list has in its entirty. How many Nintendo games are there on the 3DS now? 20? 30?

I bought a PSP last year, and I'm enjoying that for now. I might get a Vita at the end of life, I like to own every good game, and if Vita only has 2 or 3 good games, it's still 2 or 3 games I want.

Right now, if I were to buy a Vita, I would buy Uncharted, Disgaea 3 & 4, Gravity Rush, and Altleir Tortori and the sequel. 4 PS3 games, and 2 unique PSV games. For 3DS I already have over a dozen unique 3DS games planned to purchase (I just need an XL in a proper colour).


You raise a good point and that is why Sony is working on bringing all those japanese exclusives over.

Even then, it's not much.

Tales of Hearts and Innocence R would be nice, but they aren't leaving Japan. 

Toukiden is also available for PSP (could be localized for both platforms)

Time Travelers is also available for 3DS, so if localized, it won't be exclusive

Mind Zero isn't released yet, and could be crap

Hyperdimension Neptunia for PSV is crap.

Plus now I just founf out that Atelier Tortori Plus and its sequel are digital only, so I don't want it. So now my potention PSV collection is 2 unique PSV games, and 2 enhanced ports of PS3 games....

On Wikipedia, I count 27 games by Nintendo already released for the 3DS. Not all of them are good, but the 3DS has more then just Nintendo games. I see no reason to buy a Vita over a 3DS, even if you own a 3DS, there isn't much of a reason to buy a PSV just yet. Sony really needed to announce more games at E3.

31 Nintendo-published games with tracked sales on VGChartz right now. Wow... o.O

Some of those release in the future, and I think I need to update VGC a bit because Wikipedia has 35 Nintendo published games total (Some are duel published by Nintendo/Sega, and may be listed as Sega on VGC)

I only counted games which already have tracked sales, so as long as VGC doesn't track sales of unreleased games the number should be pretty accurate.

Ofc its not much, but its a start.

Shahid is actively working with publishers to bring over the Tales games, FF type-0, Valkyria 3, Suikoden, etc. All those most popular RPG's from the jrpgvita initiative.

Namco is bringing their Musou games again (warriors orochi 3 hyper, DBZ etc.) wich hearalds good possibilities for God Eater 2 to come over aswell.

Of course, like the 3DS, the Vita can only mainly look forward to japanese games because the western developers gave up on. That and first party exclusives for the most part.

To each his own i guess. Before I owned a Vita I've never play Uncharted, Persona 4, Metal Gear, Muramasa, Need For Speed, Killzone or many other ports/multiplat games. Honestly if it wasn't for the Vita I would have never played them as I much prefer handhelds to console. I have a PSP, PS3, Wii, DS, and 3DS right now and combined I play them only half as much as my Vita. Why? Because in my pinion the Vita hardware wise is the best console I've ever own and even software wise it holds it's own. 

What other platform allows you to go from playing Uncharted to Persona 4 to Muramasa to GTA Vice City Stories to Jak and Daxter to Gravity Rush to Final Fantasy VII to Metal Gear to Guacamelee to Super Stardust Delta to then hoping on Youtube, Facebook, Netflix, or just surfing the web? PS3

While the 3DS has more exlusive games what happens if I don't really care for Mario and Luigi, Zelda, DK, or Pokemon? 

Animal Crossing
Fire Emblem (best rated original 8th gen game to date)
SMT IV
Castlevania
Final Fantasy I-VI
Dragon Quest IV-VII
Resident Evil Revelations
Monster Hunter
Kid Icarus
Starfox
Metal Gear
Prof Layton
Pretty much anything good pre 1996 over virtual console
Cave Story/Pushmo/Crashmo (better rated then Stardust and Guacamelee)

There all great games but if you don't like them it limits your selection on 3DS by quite a bit. 

I was going to make this a troll thread by having just P4G in the OP but when I thought about it while the Vita is lacking in exclusives it still has a shit ton of great games available to it especially when you count the PSP and PS1 games available for it. Good games are good games multiplat/port,  or not. 

Also this isn't necassarily a reply to just you but to other people as well.

Maybe to each their own, but this is why 3DS is murdering PSV in sales. Most prefer 3DS.

LOL, it's funny that you meantion Persona, FFVII, and GTA Vice City as reasons to own a PSV over a 3DS, but 3DS has more games, arguably better games, in those same respective franchises. As for GTA, you can buy a 3DS and a PSP for the price of a Vita, so that takes away a lot of the reasons for owning a Vita.

PSV is a good console, but not a great system.

Being able to play PS1 games is nice, especially since PS1 was discontinued 10 years ago, and many people haven't had a chance to play some of those great gems. Plus being able to play slightly downgraded PS3 games on the go is also very nice.

However PSV offer very little that's new on it's own. It heavily relies on PS1/PS3 ports to keep it alive, and if you already own a PS1/PS3, and even beat most of these ports. There really is little reason to buy a $250 console to play them all over again.

3DS on the other hand does offer a lot on its own, and with Virtual console + DS backward compatibility, people have access to a lot more great retro games. Plus DS and 3DS saw a lot of SNES and now PS1 era JRPG's being remade. Add in the fact that a 3DS is $80 cheaper, and it's a pretty solid deal.

Oh, then maybe the number is higher then what I count because games like Sonic & Mario & the Olympic games are entirely developed and published by Sega, but VGC lists it as Nintendo published because Nintendo publishes it in Japan.

A few games are like this.

Yea.....well only time can tell.

BTW, What Suikoden are you talking about? The only handheld Suikoden is the one for DS.

Also I highly doubt those Tales games or FF-Type Zero will get localized. FF Type Zero and VC3 are PSP games, to make them full out PSV retail games would involve a lot of re-working. The best you can hope for is an english digital release, but even then that's a stretch.

Also, Nintendo is working to bring over a lot of 3DS exclusives. Dragon Quest VII would be a big one, it would mean that all the Dragon Quest games except 8 are available for Nintendo handhelds.

You may be in lucky: A Canadian retailer just leaked that the black 3DS XL is coming over !



orniletter on 22 July 2013

Seriously: By that logic, you could add the redicolusly huge DS library to the 3DS´
...I already have a PSP, so the idea of going from FF VII to an almost unplayable port of 3 PS2 games (which are indefinately better on the PS3) is not very compelling...

...to be honest: I could make a similar thread about the WiiU if I would just list EVERYTHING on the System, regardless of multplat or exclusivity...

I thought this was a Vita thread for a second. Silly me.
