Am i the only one who prefers this lineup to WiiUs 2015 lineup?


It depends if you like nintendo franchises. If not, then the Vita is better.....

That would pretty much be the only way. Even in you like the games for both systams, I think it would be hard to be more excited about games you can mostly get now on other consoles which consists of 90% of the titles here.

Even with those announced games there still just isn't that game that makes people say "I have to get a Vita". Nintendo on the other hand has a few games releasing next year that are going to give the console a boost in sales, Legend of Zelda being the main one. I can also see Star Fox moving some systems (if done right) and Xenoblade Chronicles X giving a small boost (though I don't see these two making any significant impact) keeping consoles sold in the hundreds of thousands with any luck. I could give a much better prediction of Star Fox's impact if they would show the freaking game off.

Like most of this year, I don't see the Vita even selling in the 100s of thousands at any consistant rate unless E3 (or some other gaming conference) shows something vasly more substantial to the Vita's library than what is already known.

It's not exactly fair to compare a few announcements made at one event to WiiU's entire library for the next year... Vita already had plenty of games coming in 2015 and now it has 16 more, not just 16.

Name one major announcement you can't get anywhere else.

Why is it so important? Surely the question is do you want it portable or not? This whole your game will work on a home console or a portable system is amazing. I don't need exclusivity, I want accessibility to my games however I want them.

Nowadays it's really hard to tell the difference between a genuine pro-Vita thread and a Vita troll thread.

I guess it's because there is no difference.


Vita gets trolled whether it's good news or bad news. We know this.

I am talking about the original post. This one reminds me of your top 20 Vita games thread. I mean, people know that the original poster wants it to be a positive message, but exactly the same content could be posted by someone who wanted to troll the Vita.


I know, pretty much any Vita news can be read as either good or bad news.

Cool. Another 16 is good enough for a system struggling like The Vita. I love it. Will take what I can get. Hope it sells as much as possible to keep it alive.

Man, what an amazing line up of first party games.

Sony is really pushing their great IPs on Vita.

Nobody said they were first party, well one of them is. Do you only enjoy first party games?

3rd party is fine, there just isn't much there to get excited about. Unless you really want portable indie games.

16 games announced, mostly niche, and few take advantage of the Vita hardware.

Just because they are ports shouldn't mean the support isn't appreciated. These games may essentially be exclusive for many people who don't game on PC or have another PS console


I can't imagine a person owning a Vita but not a ps3 or ps4.  I'm sure this exists but must be less than 20% of vita owners.

Indies on a system that originaly promised a "home console experience" on the go is never good news...NEVER!

Except for the day of the tentacle thing...I loved that game.
