Super awesome video Mort! I recently learned that you can presently still buy some sealed Vita games at reasonable prices from places like Walmart, Target and Amazon 👍🏼
Great Vid Mort. Just a thought for a vid...I remember you in a pixel game squad vid talking about the importance of nostalgia in video games. It was so heartfelt and really connected with me and helped the healing, as I lost a friend who used to game with me, and this led me to create a games room. Nostalgia is soooo important, and I feel you presented it so well and from the heart it actually connected with me alot and I'm sure many others too. Please do a vid on nostalgia as you speak so nicely about the subject and you could ask others in the community such as Riff and Ricky etc their nostalgia feelings ... It would be such a lovely and important vid. Good for the soul😊 All the best, Regards Peppi 👍
Thanks for mentioning this. My condolences for your loss. I am as interested in making fun content as I am meaningful content. I do think a deeper dive on the subject of nostalgia could be warranted, both from an academic as well as personal perspective on the subject. An exploration of what motivates our behavior is always worth doing and I’m grateful that my comments stirred something important in you. Thanks for the suggestion, and peace to you.
As a huge Borderlands (2) fan, I really enjoyed playing it on the Vita. Especially all of the available DLC. I remember using cross-save to finish the other DLC on PS3 with the same character.
agreed! nothing like camping for the long weekend and being able to play BL2 in the middle of nowhere while around the campfire w/ out lugging around a gaming laptop (that i didn’t own in the 1st place)
Dang memory cards indeed. Hard to tell how negative an impact they had - were consumers truly aware of their costly entry point, or was mobile gaming already rendering handhelds less attractive? Thanks for commenting.
I am not a Vita enthusiast but the quality of the video kept me watching until the end.......aaaaaand now I want a Vita 😅, brilliant video Mort, really enjoyed it Sir 🙌
So glad I watched this, because I hate to admit it, but for some reason I always thought the PlayStation TV was for digital games only. I have no idea what ever put that thought into my head. Thanks Mort!
Thanks Matthew! I’m brand new at this, so Riff has given me some pointers but I’m the one doing the editing. I appreciate the encouragement - it goes a long way!
I've just started my PS Vita collection. This video was super informative. I would usually pass on Vita games because it didn't have the manual so it's good to know that most didn't come with one. Love the videos, keep them coming!
Awesome! I’m glad the information was helpful. “Manual” may have even been too strong a term. Most of the initial releases had nothing in them, but some had single page inserts (as i showed in the video). A lot of the Limited Run and all of the PlayAsia games have manuals, but in most instances, the original case and artwork is all you need. Best of luck on your collecting!
Thank you! As long as we are having fun, that’s all that matters :) I definitely want to consciously avoid making EVERY video about game hunting at this time. The loop of it is a little “samey” and game hunting is only one of many aspects about the hobby worth highlighting.
Its 2023 now..and im late to the party as per usual. Just bought a modded ps vita the other day.. im not one for modded systems personally (rather have the physical orignal system ect) but i wont lie the portability to play NES,SNES,Gameboy,Genesis, Atari,PS one,PSP,PSvita and so on, cant be beat! I know most phones can do the old school emulation but its not the same without the tactile controls..it has quickly become my go to system over my oled switch, its just easier to carry round..p.s. its my only modded system as i prefer the OG hardware and software
Cool video man, your collection is insane, I bought a vita 2 years ago now here in Ireland and I'm near at 100 physical games, one of my favourite systems ever.
@@MortsGarageTop of the morning to you sir, even though I started my collection late, I was very lucky to get some games, I bought some eastasiasoft releases on playasia too, I'm currently playing Tokyo Xanadu, Freedom Wars and Un-Metal, very good games.
Great breakdown of a system I don't know much about. Would love to see some other collector's guides in the same style for some other systems, especially those weirder ones (Virtual Boy, Sega 32x/CD/Saturn, and Atari Jaguar). Obviously you would be able to put together a really great N64 one as well having what you do for the system.
Thanks for the great suggestion. I'm far more comfortable doing these for systems I have a previous knowledge of, so the N64 one could be an interesting take. Take care, Nick!
@Mort great video really big point forgotten in this vs 3DS is that it was also equally flopping in step w/ the Vita due to the 3D screen causing eye stress in children under a certain age, as well as some adults. Nintendo had a lean launch title lineup, as opposed to the Vita which may have had the strongest support at launch of any console in history. Nintendo also saved the 3DS by literally giving away over 1/2 a dozen games digitally that used standard cheap memory cards. Sony could have done the same thing, but lacked backbone and were greedy, thus they decided to take the L way too early. lastly, the PS4 was on the horizon, thus sucking any margins towards help the fledging handheld.
Yes - I remember them giving away a bunch of titles early on while slashing the price much to the disappointment of early adopters. I agree also about the launch lineup. It was seriously impressive. Thanks for commenting!
Indeed I do! Mine is still sealed and I’m likely to sell it. I bought it a number of years ago and don’t know that I’m interested in playing it enough to open the seal on it.
@@MortsGarage at the time I sold mine one had not been sold on eBay in over 18 months. I charged $100 more than the last listed sale and it was gone in 20 min. Vita fans are rabid for physical games. Good video!
Vita is not an easy to collect I’m not trying to get limited run games type physical games or the niche games I really don’t care and it’s still hard to collect. Right now with the vita I’m trying to get every sony interactive games physical title that’s included on the box hebrew/greek language because I’m living in israel and i trying to do full set and I’m missing only 5 titles (little big planet vita, jak & daxter trilogy, soul sacrifice, the muppets & borderlands 2) and it’s hard to find them even on ebay it’s really difficult especially borderlands 2. I also trying to get all the persona games as well most of the fighting games on the vita and they are not easy, just few days ago I found on amazin the persona 4 dancing game after I searched for an English copy for a cheap price after a long time and found dengeki bunko fighting climax ignition for less than 10 usd from buyee.

@@MortsGarage Thanks for getting back Mort. much appreciated, keep up the excellent work!😊
As a fellow Vita fan, I LOVED all the Vita system sound cues in this video! Nice touch!
Cheers!

Hard to argue with that! I should have probably said something about the cross save feature. Thanks for commenting!
I got into Vita during the pandemic. This is awesome...thank you for the background and all the detail.
My pleasure- thanks for watching!
What a information episode. Great work!
Thank you for watching 🤙
Those dang memory cards. The Vita is an amazing machine. I have two oleds, and play Vita daily. Great video man

Listen - just finish that WiiU set first. #goals
This was great all the way through man 💖
❤️
I have never been interested in the Vita EVER... until now. After watching this video... I WANT ALL THE VITA !!!!
VITAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
So glad I watched this, because I hate to admit it, but for some reason I always thought the PlayStation TV was for digital games only. I have no idea what ever put that thought into my head. Thanks Mort!
Glad to share the info - Thanks for watching!
Love the videos. Hoping your stuff catches fire soon. Very high quality stuff
How kind - thank you!
Killing it; not sure if it is you or someone else editing but kudos for doing a great job and keep it up!

Super informative! Great job man
And thank you for letting me pull from some of your footage!
The Persona 4 variant is BEAUTIFUL! One of my favorite series.
So much good info!! Thanks Mort!! More content like this mixed with your hunting stuff is going to get you well over 100k subs.
Thank you! As long as we are having fun, that’s all that matters :)

Thank you :)
Great video! Informative, entertaining, you got it all!
Thanks! And thanks again for letting me use some of your footage :)
Great video. Looking forward to more of these collector guides!
Thanks for watching, jaqster!
Great video man keep up the good work loving this channel
Right on! Thanks for checking out the channel, Shaggy
Great in-depth video mort.
Super jealous of your collection of games and especially that persona console
Thanks for stopping by and your kind words. May you find an even cooler console in your game hunting pursuits.
Its 2023 now..and im late to the party as per usual. Just bought a modded ps vita the other day.. im not one for modded systems personally (rather have the physical orignal system ect) but i wont lie the portability to play NES,SNES,Gameboy,Genesis, Atari,PS one,PSP,PSvita and so on, cant be beat! I know most phones can do the old school emulation but its not the same without the tactile controls..it has quickly become my go to system over my oled switch, its just easier to carry round..p.s. its my only modded system as i prefer the OG hardware and software
I still love my Vita - such a great console. I haven’t emulated mine, but the library of games is just so unique.
I absolutely loved this video. I learned a lot that I didn’t know especially with the origin of Limited Run. Great job as always, Mort.
Thank you! It’s interesting how much impact this “failure” of a console had on modern collecting and gaming.
Very cool, I learned a lot from this video!
Glad to be of service 🤙
Cool video man, your collection is insane, I bought a vita 2 years ago now here in Ireland and I'm near at 100 physical games, one of my favourite systems ever.
Greetings from the US! 100 games is a huge chunk. Any that are too recommendations?

Keep it up brother

Dude this video rules
Thaaaaaaanks brother. Excited to film with you
So True!
It would had been better if it would had the L2 and R2 and the memory proprietary stuff, also if it had a UMD drive.
@Mort great video

Wow 👌 👏 😍 👍 , awesome video 🔥 !!
Chubz, you’re one of the good ones ❤️
Gonna need a top 10 game list
Great idea! I have a number of other ideas I’m working on in the meantime. But #1 is Super Puzzle Fighter.
March 14th: Dear Diary, Mort is still a sexy beast.
Takes one to know one!
Now I got Vita Fever 🤒
There’s only one prescription for that, and that’s more cowbell
The rarest and most expensive game I’ve ever sold was, Ar Nosurge Plus Ode to an Unborn Star (English translation). Do you own it?
Indeed I do! Mine is still sealed and I’m likely to sell it. I bought it a number of years ago and don’t know that I’m interested in playing it enough to open the seal on it.

@@sethtanner1 Thanks for commenting Seth. I appreciate any feedback on the videos as well as I figure all this stuff out!
Do you have summon night 6 wonderful edition??
I do! I made sure to pre-order that back when it was announced
Yes…let’s talk about it lol
Haha…I suppose this is indeed more a monologue instead of dialogue :)
@@MortsGarage lol 😂
