Assasins Creed is the Chronicles, which are not good games as far as I know, Xcom is a port of a game that is some years old.Oddworld, Axiom Verge and Severed have all released in other platforms.And for me, I feel its a better experience playing some of the games mentioned in the other platform(more especifically on consoles, since Im more of a console gamer).Im not as versed as you about its lineup, but I am well informed.There is also World of FF comming, and dragon quest builders which seems like good games.But as I said, its not exclusive and for me at least, the experience in the other platforms appeal to me more.

That's fair enough, I only got so into the handheld gaming because my Office moved, and it was taking me nearly 2 hours each way to get too and from work. Vita gave me access to games I wanted to play on the move, but then I could hit save, and switch onto the PS3 when I did get home.

I think it has to be said for the 3DS, a big part of it's draw, isn't so much it's hardware, but it's exclusive software. Which as your post suggests, should Nintendo go down a unified platform route, would for the most part make the handheld iteration redundant.

Vita is more of a "Portable" PlayStation. While 3DS is a separate entity in itself. I figure this rather than actual quality of the overall software is the biggest factor in the installbase difference.

Yeah, I totally agree with you there.



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

I'm loving my Vita. Got the ice blue one around black Friday last year. But now I have a backlog on four gaming systems. And Xbox One S and NX are coming soon.
Can I have myself cloned so one can work through my backlog?

I legitimately have games that are 20 years old that I've still not gotten around to... Maybe I should finally beat Earthworm Jim and Chrono Trigger first lol

Dude, stop what you are doing right now and play Earthworm Jim! It's so much fun.

With all the HD remasters that are being made wouldn't it be cool to have an HD Earthworm Jim.



   

Hey! They got SONY on my amiibo! Wait a minute. Two great gaming tastes that game great together!

Currently on a quest to make my Vita the ultimate JRPG station. I've got FF1-10, IV:TAY, X-2, Tactics, Dissidia 012... And that's just Square.

Recently on a Vanillaware binge. I wish they'd put GrimGrimoire on Vita... And give a western release for Grand Knights History...

Are the memory cards priced lower as well?

They're certainly a lot better than they were. Whether they're "cheap" or not remains to be seen though.

I still can't bring myself to grab a 64gb card even though they're down from like £100 to £60ish imported now.

If it got a nice price drop I'd consider getting one, but at the current price, no way.

It depends on what model you want. If you want the one with the amazing looking OLED screen I'm not sure it'll get much cheaper than it currently is on eBay.

Of course, it also depends on whether or not you mind used things. New won't be cheap.

WOW! I never knew they made an HD Earthworm Jim! Too bad the PS4 only plays PS2 games. Maybe the devs will make a PS4 HD EJ game.
