Lots of potential for greatness awaits. Get it?   Since "Greatness Awaits" is the PS4 tagline.

Sony gave a list of games (check my post above) and arguably the best games and the system sellers for the Vita aren't there. But like I said, we have to wait and see.

The best games might not be showing up for various reasons, Assassin's creed vita is about to get a HD re-release for the PS360, Ubisoft probably wanted this game off the list to not stunt sales of the upcoming game.  Uncharted and Gravity Rush most likely utilize the touch pad that wont be available until the PS4 is released

Wipeout 2048 doesn't work, but for those who have played it, touch screen is only required to choose the races. Remember how the Vita UI and keyboard was touch screen only, and after a patch you can now control those features with buttons? Certain games will probably receive patches to work on the PS Vita TV. The PS4 controller may even utilize the touch pad as the touch screen in certain games.

Since the touch pad is clickable, touching the PS4 touch pad on the PS Vita TV could place a cursor on screen where you're going to touch, and then you click to virtually touch the screen.  After clicking, until your finger is removed from the touch pad, it recognizes you as still touching the screen, so throwing grenades on Uncharted, or doing the charcoal rubbings, etc.  That would work well.  Unfortunately games requiring the back touch pad wouldn't work unless you could change the touch pad on the PS4 controller to be onoe or the other.

@bold1 Stupid reason, it's not like the game is new to the Vita.TV, the game is almost a year old, no reason to think the exact same game will cannibalize the PS360 release. It's not even a re-release of the Vita game.

@bold2 What about the rear touchpad and games that use it?

The only game that is missing on there for Japan's sake is Gravity Rush. I don't think they will miss games like Assassin's Creed and Wipeout. And it's not like its only function is to play Vita games. You said from a gaming perspective. That includes things like PS4 remote play.

Anyways, yeah we just need to wait and see how Sony plans on pushing this further, especially with the western release.

In case this stays the same and those games don't work in the west, then you still have to buy a Vita, which has remote play to begin with. Plus we don't know if all Japanese games are on that list. 

As of right now, from a gaming perpective, the only appeal the Vita.TV has is if you want only the PS4 remote play and you don't care about the games it's missing (if they stay the same).

Reading the PDF document from SONY makes it clear that it WILL come to the west, we will see then the "WEST games list" (and they can listen to feedback from Japanese people and we might get a better product by that time. (firmware updates, patches for more games...)

I was excited for it, but now that people pointed out that key titles are missing, and despite some future patches to bring them, you still can't go around trying to emulate a touchscreen with analog sticks.

Emulating ds games that make extensive use of the touchscreen is a pain in the ass because of that. totally unplayable.

This is PSP go all over again.

I can see that being a problem with Little Big Planet Vita and probably Tearaway, but Gravity Rush, Uncharted and Wipeout have pretty easy to emulate touch/backtouch functions considering PS3/4 pads have more buttons .. well the end boss fight in Uncharted might feel even a bit worse than it already does though
