Forums - Gaming - PSVITA and the lack of PS2 love

solidpumar on 15 January 2016

Psvita is a pretty barren place, few games.

While that is happening ps4 is getting Ps2 emulation/port from old classics.

Imagine if psvita also got that ps2 games with trophies and similar improvements.

Even a the slow pace the ps2 ports are coming, if they came to psvita would be enough to make it a amazing Nostalgia console. We would have psone classics and some ps2 with trophies, plus adventure point and click games from Lucas Arts.

Sony really need to get it act together, ps2 collection of games is amazing and psvita power is more similar to ps2 than to ps4, so would be a perfect fit.

Imagine playing dark cloud 2 on psvita?

I really cannot agree with this post totally.

For the last few months I've played a very good amount of Vita games.

Rocketbirds
OliOli
Teslagrad
The awesome Bastion
Dragon Fin Soup
Super Time Force Ultra

Ant there are countless other games that I've also overlooked.

I would love to see PS2 games come to the Vita too, but please lets stop with the Vita has no games argument.

The Vita needs more games yes, but its far from dead.

One of the problems with the Vita is the lack of an L2, R2, L3, and R3 button. You just have less buttons to work with. This is also a problem with PSX games, but less so.

It's dead to many of us former owners.

If the vita could get all the ps2 classics that the ps3 has, I could see that pushing a new audience to buy it. Sadly, I doubt Sony would consider it. Either way, I'm happy with my vita and the games that are currently coming to it.
