Vita sold terribly here in the US and it's Sony's own fault for having it at a very high price at launch and refusing to drop the price and a very expensive memory card and terrible marketing, those are the main reasons why the Vita failed. Although that aside I love the Vita and the JRPGs that it has
Ludger's Channel it was mainly bc the memory cards that it failed and the lack of games coming to it. 3DS was just pushing games one after the other and getting a sd card for it was so easy
RustAMVs I bought one a few months ago to play indie games and Japanese titles. I totally love it. There's already at least two games I own on my PC that I finally finished on the PS Vita.
RustAMVs Don't lie to yourself. It's not fucking worth it. It may be worth it if you're a rich fuck, but for the average person, it is not worth it at all. Don't lie to yourself and don't lie to other people.
No. The Vita might still be widely used in Japan, but I can't see it being supported in the west any longer. It's a shame; the Vita is fundamentally a good handheld.

Kmg24 don't know the numbers in the west but the community for the vita seems pretty loyal to it. I hope that community can keep the vita alive here :( I'm from Houston, so I guess you could say vita followers here are out of this world ;)
I'm actually against localization and geolocking. That feels like censorship to me They could simply translate the game to English that is the world language everybody uses
for those of you that think the vita is dying you are flat out wrong. not only is it an awesome handheld with new games still coming out for it but it's an amazing remote play accessory for the ps4. also multiplayer is free on vita which is nice cause any other device will cost you. sorry but playstation fans arent only CoD and Uncharted players.
Kelly Fitzpatrick For the vita to die it would have First had to live. The vita was dead at launch. With the lack of games from triple a developers plus overly expensive memory cards, the vita was a failure almost immediately.
@@Minecraftmaster44 LOL well new Vita games are releasing for eastern audience. People in the east still use it, and as long as it has English subtitles, I'll be buying them, just imported Gundam Breaker 3 Break Edition, and I can't wait
i bought a ps vita today! i already have a 3ds but what's stopping me with the switch is that it's a bit expensive at the moment, and there isn't really anything on it that i want to play enough to spend the money on it. there's also that i don't have a tv, which is also why i don't have a ps4. but i'm hoping the vita will keep me going for now with more games to play~
Definitely should do u especially if u don't have a ps4 loads of the great vita games got ported over to PS4, it has a lot of great games but not many exclusives anymore
ikr theyre only here to shout "hey vita is dead! theres no need to buy this piece of shit handheld when youre already have the switch!" i swear vita haters and nintendo fanboys are the worst
So basically -Make the game configurable (like pc), and play PS4 games -make it backwards compatible -make the PSN store like steam so basically handheld PC #PCMasterRace oh and btw Sony, if you actually want to make "Vita 2", use a standard microSD, or at least if it is proprietary, don't make it awfully expensive
I find myself playing my PS Vita more than my 3ds. My 3ds collects dust. The games on the 3ds are repetitive. Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, Fire emblem and Mario again. I am a huge Pokemon fan and that's the only reason why I'm keeping it around. PS Vita has Ys series, gravity rush, jrpgs, walking dead , Digimon series, sword art, disgaea series, atelier series, child of light, Rayman series shooters like killzone, vanillaware games, Final Fantasy, PSP games and PS One games and a whole lot more. In my opinion the only reason 3ds is more popular is because they have a huge kids fan base when compared to PS Vita. Also Sony wanted money fast with no effort when it came to the Vita. The Vita's unpopularity is no one's fault but SONY's
Vita will be better if sony put ps2 cgame in psvita. Persona 4 golden and ffX is best example for that. When persona 4 golden release, ps vita sales number increase significantly but, sony didn't realize that best opportunity to commercial it.
@@lapsedilationdrive3943 Now i dont know about official vita data but according to nintendo most nintendo switch users are adults and or teens. So saying that is completely wrong. And most nintendo fans arent that way (like always, the vocal minority is real toxic). I for example bought a psp a while ago because its just a cool handheld. And i eould really like to get a vita but unfortunately the system failed so hard that its difficult to find one at a normal price
Yo! Just found this channel. I happen to like coffee... I sense that's a thing here. And you have some very interesting opinions; therefore I have subscribed! :D Much Vita love.
Sony shot themselves in the foot with the psp line. I bought the original psp and the vita, and Sony killed both of them with any lack of support. they were outright lazy with it. like they just expected it to sell because it's a Sony product and had about 5 first party games, then got mad when we wanted more and they didn't do anything about it. Just like people say Nintendo couldn't survive on first party, ps vita couldn't survive with just 3rd party. I love my ps4 but I wouldn't be bothered to get suckered into another handheld from them.
I love that you're consistent with this coffee moment. Makes us feel like we know you and it's a relaxation moment that eases us into your video. Makes you seem down to earth too. We can always count on your entrance to every video involving coffee.
ShadowNetBG funny cause I never had to change mine. Bunch of downloaded games on the vita but I mostly use it for a second screen and control. Remote play is really handy.
it's kinda sad how Sony stated there will never be a Vita successor as they would like to concentrate on more profitable and growing mobile gaming market instead.
コイノ/ Koino they actually didn't say "never" they said nothing at the moment, that was before switch... which based on Sony' response I (and a lot of other people) think they are planning something new. the switch was a huge success(so far, fingers crossed it continues) and shows that handheld is still viable.
Because. Nintendo is in the business longer than Sony, so their "mascots" are memorable to the majority of people... And they're making really good use to this advantage.
Kuro Kohi thats why Nintendo has been planing the switch strategy for 2 years Nintendo has already have the right moves cause they are using a different position we cannot see it but Nintendo is undoubtedly 2 steps ahead.
Sony had every opportunity to build up their own line of mascots. They just didn't. They try once and then never do it again. Crash is technically their mascot, but how long has it been since Crash has been visible on Sony platforms? Ages ago, and only recently did they resurrect that. But will they push it again? I wouldn't be surprised if they did not. And so they'll never have the same iconic mascots as Nintendo.
Yes, yet Nintendo did not blame mobiles for the "death" of dedicated handheld consoles... oh wait, the 3DS succeded, why? -cheap SD cards as main memory -First party games ran and looked great -although it had some shit 3rd party ports, most games ran very well -they cut the price when they had to instead of blaming others for their moronity.
The PS Vita in my opinion is much better than the 3ds. I mean Persona 4 Golden looked perfect on the Vita's screen. Perhaps people would recognize the console a bit more if Sony ported games like Persona 5 and Ultimate Naruto Ninja Storm 3 & 4 with solid 30 fps
Hi im Ish Well the PS Vita has a brighter screen and higher resolution than the 3ds. 3ds is only 280p and the only reason mainly why it's popular is Pokémon and Mario
No I think he is right the visuals and specs are way better then the 3ds. So why did the 3ds sell so much more? Was it just that the clam shell was a better design, or was the memory cards to expensive on the vita? I would be super happy if sony made a new handheld, and it got persona 5.
The Vita2.. give processing power a bump (like the new 3DS) and get rid of the expensive memory cards.. You'd have the whole back catalog of vita/ps1/psp... and potential for new developers with the extra power.
You can use the Vita to play the PS4 with remote play. Like get comfy on your bed instead of having to sit in front of the TV, or if ur parents want to use the tv. I find that a very useful feature
The vita can never die at this point, Sony created a gem so the next step is to make some sort of vita 3000 with better specs and some unique feature, etc. A PS4 portable is not a good idea right now due to the massive download file size and mostly unfinished games.
There's a lot of Vita hating going on in this comment section. Fuck what you (or Sony) think, I love my Vita and still play it constantly. What Sony should do for the west is make more PSP/PS1 games available on PSN. That would definitely satisfy my gaming needs. Even better Sony should let Hengaku (or who ever does the next one) hack the console so we can run emulators on the Vita. #VitaLives
I wish I could drink coffee without like...feeling like I'm going to die...lmao one cup and I'm dying. too much caffeine I'm unnecessary sensitive. Also...my vita is under my bed unused somewhere under there. all the games I want to play are Japanese exclusives.
ps vita 2 -1080 OLED screen -backward competable for vita 1 -full psp ps1 digital library -digital ps2 games!! -perfect ps4 remote play ( no delay like right now) -ps3 games digital (vita 2 being same engine as ps3 and able to play entire 1000games digitaly) -exclusive vita 2 games and come back of MH series ! this would be my dream machine
THIS! you forgot a couple things though. hdmi output to tv, L2 R2 L3 R3 buttons, NO PROPRIETARY MEMORY! and last but not least advertisement! i like some japanese games but not all. ps vita is 90% japanese and 10% western support and i think the ps vita "2" (or whatever) i think support would be better 75% western and 25% japanese
They can't have backwards compatibility for both ps3 and ps vita.Plus,the cell cpu is very inefficient and takes way too much power.Also, a 1080p oled screen is a bad idea and it is impossible to do any time of remote play without latency
What a great content. I sure hope PS Vita would come back to life, with much more Japanese RPG and Visual Novels. (I just had to cringe for the squeaky noise from the grinder... can you do something about it?)
There's actually a pretty good amount of games that bundle in the Vita version now. I actually just recently got a Vita and was surprised to find I had a back log of games I bought that had cross play that I didn't even realize were cross play.
People keep saying it's failed or "irrelevant" but how can that be? I was just on ps Store and all these years later there's half a dozen new games or more just this month. Isn't it more accurate to say that its success is far more limited than Sony hoped? I'm fairly new to vita but I just see dozens of accessories, content creators and hundreds of games and new games all the time and everyone saying it's finished is so weird to me.
I agree mostly with your synopsis. Imho though, I think Capcom's, Monster Hunter World, will breathe life back into the Vita when it releases. And, if rumors prove to be true that Sony put Capcom back into their $$pockets$$, then we may even get an exclusive version of a new updated MH game for the Vita. If this happens, I promise you, the entire unit will literally be revived. Sony will have turned a 'loss' into a complete win with just the power of one game.
It’s one thing with your channel that always brings me back here checking your old videos.. the talking over coffee! It’s so relaxing. oh, dear God.. :D One question, a friend of mine is going back to Japan this November and I’ve been thinking to buy PSVita special edition there (any kind of Vita SE) that they don’t sell here in Indonesia. Do you think it’s still worth it? I mean I never own one, neither Vita or Switch but here in my country Switch is so popular but I’m just not into it. I mean I love Zelda but Vita seems to have games that catch my interests. And I love the design. Any kind of related suggestion would be very useful. Thanks in advance! 😊
I’m a hand held console gamer. I used to play both the psp and ds. and i have to admit that in terms of portability and comfort, sony’s psp (i got the go) is more comfortable. I’ve been eyeing the psvita for a while but i just bought a switch and a new 3ds xl (replacing my old new 3ds that got busted batteries) The reason i’ve been eyeing the psvita is because it can play psp games and its own game. Plus the fact that it’s havked now...and it’s actually MOOREE portable than the switch. I couldn’t even say that the switch is a ‘portable’ because of the size... so i mostly use it docked..
i dont think the vita could "still" succeed.its a shame considering its great and i use it far more than my 3ds even though i've had it 5 years longer .its far too late for it. maybe in 2014 or even 15 but definetly not in 17. i think its about time for sony to make a new handheld in 2018 considering the switch, why let nintendo have the WHOLE cake? EDIT: ps vita 2 or psp2 or just a new handheld with these games (gta5,crash bandicoot n sane,persona 5,dragon ball fighterZ,nuns4) BOOM HOTCAKES
Vita 2 needs three main things: -Standardized storage medium through Micro SD. It's a pain in the ass the Vita uses proprietary memory cards that cap at 64GB and those cost about $130 after importing. -L2 and R2, and L3 and R3 buttons. Touchscreen virtual inputs just aren't anywhere near as good. -As the video stated, better integration with PS4. -As the video stated, out of the box capability to hook up to a TV like the Switch can. The Vita TV is a great device and all, but that should've been possible out of the box. Just cable and bluetooth support for external controller or use the handheld itself. -Backwards compatibility with Vita, hopefully both digitally and physically like the 3DS and DS. -Allow multiple accounts on the same Vita so I can have my Japanese, North American and European PSN all on the same system like I can on PS3 and PS4. Other than that, I love the Vita. Great library of games, games are physical, no moving parts. I want Vita 2.
Vita needs FAR more 3rd party action game ports that aren't indie crap to succeed. These girl- hero pedogames and jrpg's from Japan aren't cutting it. Western action games are the only way. If Capcom were to for whatever reason put the upcoming Street Fighter Anniversary Collection on Vita, there would be a ton of sales, and it might actually be a console-mover.
The PlayStation Vita has two way of competing with the Switch already - PS4 Remote Play and a hacked PSTV. If you have a PSTV, you can now use the PSVimgTools whitelist hack and use it to load any Vita game on the PSTV. And other than Nintendo exclusives, all the games on Switch are either already released on PS3 or PS4 or are coming to PS4. If you want to play those games on the go, just use the PS4 Remote Play. So long as you have a good high speed WiFi connection, you're in business.
Vita's pretty much dead, and Sony unfortunately doesn't care. That said I love my 2 Vitas and my Vita TV and am building another Vita for use with Yifan's SD card adapter. I'll finally get to have ALL my (legit) games on one machine :D That has me more excited than any of Nintendo's overpriced machines.
An Tran "...Sony unfortunately doesn't care." If anyone goes to the official Playstation site anyone can see this. PSVita isnt even on the top but in the games section. I remember it being up there with PS4 AND PS3.
After reading the comments... - I enjoy how the coffee brewing/drinking is incorporated into these videos. Some of my favorite times with close friends are when we relaxed, sipping coffee and theorizing or getting creative with our ideas. Much like Nihongo Gamer does here. It feels very comfortable and keeps me here for the full video as his insights are interesting. - I really don't quite get how strongly people feel negatively towards the Vita. Sure, there are several things that weren't addressed by Sony when they should've been ($$ memory cards), but I've had a wonderful experience overall and I can see why folks would like to see something similar by Sony succeed this time as the game libraries between 3DS/Switch and the Vita are very different and having both in existence would appeal to the most gamers. - On the second pass of pouring, I like to work my spiral from the outside in, keeping the strength of the brew consistent 😉
Hey man! I really like your style of videos (who else makes coffee while talking about games? Lol) One thing that really stands out to me is the background music you use. Where do you get it from?
No psvita 2 psvita 3000 like psp 3000. hdmi output 1080p oled screen 4 gigs of RAM 3gigs internal storage micro SD card Bluetooth 5.0 and plays PlayStation 4 games.?
I purchased the Nintendo Switch about a month ago ,but I still play my Playstation Vita. with a library of over 1400 games you can't go wrong and the games are awesome. it's such a shame they stopped supporting it on the states. I would love to see indie development groups continue to make games for it.
I think the Vita 2 should be running a system closer to Phones/tablets rather than a PC console. I believe its the Arm based processors or Arm Platform or something like that.
So, I'm assuming you're bilingual nihongo gamer. I'm jealous, and it seems like no matter how hard I work I can never truly get the Japanese language down, but if you have that there's very little you can't play in a language you understand and that's just amazing, and would certainly be a benefit to a Vita owner. And...are you located in the US or Japan currently? Because in Japan you really just need to invest in a massive manga magazine and you're all set for any long trip no matter what age you are, which in Japan is probably a train trip instead of a car trip. That said, I live in NA and I would definitely buy the Vita you outlined. My main concern would actually be using a proper memory card format, which you didn't touch on, but the points you did bring up sound like they'd make for a great system.
problem with sony is they had the chance to launch the ps4 with a vita bundle down the line;im sure people would of bought it in a bundle.and the thing your talking about kind of already exists the ps tv which is like the nintendo switch but only downside to it is that you cant play all of the vita games on it because its lets you play natively certain games because its not touch pad games
M. HAMDANI jp developers are the only ones keeping it alive. It's such a shame Sony doesn't want to make a new handheld when a lot of devs are willing to make games on it
If they do make a vita 2, would you rather have it come with L2 R2 bumpers to have a console experience, but compromise backwards compatibility. Or would you keep the 2 touch screens 🤔🤔🤔
maykolee The weird thing is, that's only in the global market. In Japan Nintendo lost with the 3DS. From what I've heard from people and seen in Japanese media, Vita is still king over there. Weird, but yeah.
Live the truth yea that's strange.... well here in uk almost everyone I know have a 3ds, I never even seen a vita out in the wild or know anyone that has 1....
Have you been checking out Limited Run Games? they are putting out Vita games that typically digital only, especially for the US which doesn't put out too many physical games these days
vita has been dead for 4 years now. i cant see it coming back. especially in the west. The main selling point of the vita was a console experience on the go....and the switch already does that much better. i think the vita can remote play with ps4, but it needs a wifi connection, so its not as mobile as the switch. The switch uses an ARM architecture which makes software easier to port from x86, in fact its more modern than the architecture in ps4 pro and xbone x. Your dream handheld console' is basically the switch.
Haruhi Suzumiya Yes, optimisation is what needs to be done. that can include removing and changing assets and adjusting the resolution and lighting engine. people who say " that game cant run on switch" are completely wrong. ANY game can run on the switch. its a matter of changing assets and basically lowering strain on the GPU. that doesnt nessesarily mean making the game look worse on switch, if optimised properly the game can look pretty on switch in its own way. eg: witcher 3 on ps4 looks pretty good despite having a different lighting engine and less shaders. The switch is in a good position because it has support for most modern API like havok, ue4 etc... which makes the process of porting piss easy. something the wii u lacked.
SMoj To be fair the Switch doesn't have any current gen AAA game either. Yes you can argue Nintendo games are AAA quality but what I am obviously talking about demanding current gen games like Red Dead Redemption, Star Wars Battlefront and Assassin's Creed. Also it was the Xbox 360 Witcher 2 that had different lighting and redesigned shaders. Witcher 3 was consistent across all platforms. I think the reason we still haven't seen any third-party AAA game on the Switch is the fact that undocked mode Switch GPU is only 0.5 Teraflops. Even Xbox One with 1.3 Teraflops drops to 720p on demanding games.
wrdeal24 those arent the same thing lol :P we are talking about games, not an OS and application. games nowadays are made using a game engine. which makes things 100x easier.
Good video. Owning a Wii U + Vita has me feeling like I don't need a Switch just yet. The Vita solved all the technical problems the PSP had (blurry screen, controls etc.), based on positive experiences with Sony handhelds I'd buy another one in a heartbeat. The PSP was between PS1 & 2, the Vita was between PS2 & 3, hopefully Switch's success convinces them to do another handheld between PS3 & 4 that leverages PS4 software.
yes. Some game still come to the nes, even if the nes is died 20 years ago. This don't prove anything. The console is dead. The project that are still coming, are coming only because they was started 2+ years ago. Sony drop any possible support to his own child. LET THE DEAD STAY DEAD
stop talking trash about the vita. you dont even know shit on what you are talking about. PSN support is still there. PRODUCTION of vita is still maintain and there are games that are gonna be released on it and still you are saying that the vita is dead? just because sony didnt support it with AAA titles doesnt mean that its dead. the nes is a fcking dead console because not even its CREATORS are manufacturing it nor making games for it. gtfo
Fubuki Destroyer bro I have a vita and is dead as the shit I made one year ago. You can love it as much as you want but this will not change anything at all. I enjoy to see the psn empty every week as the previous one. Enjoy your hundreds of imaginary new releases
you are either a fucking troll or a vita hater. "enjoy your hundreds of imaginary new releases" except that the vita is still getting new games in japan. of course its not AAA titles but still theyre games "i enjoy to see the psn empty every week" yeah at this point,youre obviously trolling. look i do admit that the vita is a failure. sony is a dick for not making AAA games anymore but that doesnt change the fact that it is still getting support from 3rd party studios
I highly recommend the PS Vita and the PS TV/PS Vita TV. The PS Vita and the PS TV/PS Vita TV come in handy if you want to download PSP games on to them. If you want to download and play your PSP games on the Vita and the PS TV/PS Vita TV, then there is no need to get a PSP 1000, PSP 2000, PSP 3000 or a PSP Go. Plus, there is no need for friend codes and you can play online for free on the PS Vita and the PS TV/PS Vita TV.
How NIHONGOGAMER Might still FAIL Man oh man I think you should really simmer down with the titles... I think they're doing your content a disservice, by overstating the subject matter in the video.
TechXSoftware Lol, Pokemon?? It is a popular game and it was my favorite series, but there are a ton of Vita games I find a lot more enjoyable than Pokemon. The series is stale. I'd rather play Soul Sacrifice, Gravity Rush, Little Big Planet, Killzone Mercenaries, and Dragon's Crown.
they have released a new handheld every 5 years after a new console release. so a new handheld to release either the end of next year or the beginning of 2019 would be pretty cool
I feel that just like the Wii U, the PlayStation Vita was highly underrated. They both had really immersive games. The designs were unique and neat. Although both of these consoles were released at the wrong time.
Those adjustable settings sound like a cool idea, but you don't really need to rely on hardware for that. Those settings rely on *the game engine*, where the problem is that most games use their own game engines, and it is up to the developers to either tweak that, or enable them in-game to allow players to tweak it themselves. A perfect example is two of Capcom's games on the 3DS - Street Fighter IV 3D, and MH3U, both of which use their Mobile MT Framework game engine. Granted the only option you can change is whether to turn stereoscopic 3D on or off, but this one setting has a considerable impact on game performance. Turning them off allowed the game to run smoother. Not sure if any of these games hit 60fps, but I'm pretty sure they go well above 40fps at the very least. And then we go back to the developers - is it worth their time to include these settings into the game? Or would it be better for them to just tweak it themselves and call it a day? Effort is good and all, but not all devs have enough time nor the will to put in more effort for these little things. Everybody works on a deadline, and that's just a fact of corporate businesses. Indies might be able to get away with it, but devs owned by corporations? I don't think so.
I'm pretty sure it's impossible, but something that would make the Vita sell A LOT is a port of Demon's Souls or Dark Souls. I already own a Vita, but if I didn't have one and a Souls game was available for it, I'd definitely buy one
For a Vita2 success there are a couple things need to happen in addition to what the vita has currently. - Backwards compatibility with vita cards - at least 720p at 60fps gameplay - killer exclusive games or a "Zelda BOTW" equivalent - rebranding of what a portable is for the Sony consumer. It can be a stand alone console or a portable ps4 at lower visual quality. Better remote play or a different way of going about it. Such as D/L local copies of games on Vita and connect to ps4 via a dock for ps4. Unlock vita for portable and redock for play and transfer of save to ps4.
I think the vita being a nice small handheld for playing nice smaller quality games would be(yeah, using that word some) nice... doesn't have to be a big thing, just something Sony, Playstation, etc., does on the side... like, a portable console all it's own, that has it's own games and everything. Something like that, at least. 🌿
I just picked up my PS Vita in February of this year, so I'm incredibly late to the party. LOL, but still I have no regrets with my purchase it is truly an extraordinary handheld console. I really hope that this video reaches some ears and eyes of Sony executives. Also nice video man I really enjoyed it! It made me want a cup of coffee while I play Megaman Legends on my Vita.
Making a hand held version of the PS4 that actually plays the PS4 games, can be a tricky thing. Since Consoles are often sold at a loss, getting a person to buy a PS4 hand held when they already have a PS4, means that they are not really going to recoup the cost of the hand held, since you might have bought the game on you non hand held PS4. On the other hand maybe it will just lock some peoples game purchases further into the PS ecosystem.
Hi, I'm English living in Japan and idk where I can find a switch!!! I live near Shibuya and found a couple of stores that are sold out but nothing available, can you help me out?
Did you know that the nintendo switch is running off a tegra x1. This is a chip that was released inside the shield tv in may 2015. I think it is very posible for them to make the complete standard ps4 specs in a portable system. The only issues I think theyd run into is battery life
A good example of the cross play between games is Phantasy Start Online 2. It works on PC, but you can play on PS4 and they have a version that works on PSVita. Where you can pickup and go with your PSO account.
VITA actually has TONS of exclusive titles. In the last 30 days we had 6 new 30hours+ full fledged physical releases for VITA and more if you consider indie games. The same cannot be said for Switch at the moment (and I'll definitely buy switch as soon as things change).
PS. VITA already has a TV out (like psp). Sony did not activate it as they wanted to sell PSTV (that allows you to play vita games on tv - I use it every time).
I adored my vita, but for someone in the west, we totally got shafted. After the first drizzle of launch window titles, Sony abandoned ship. When I first saw it when I was 13, the graphics blew me away and many experiences were on par to the console ports. I know it's an Indie and JRPG treasure trove, but I can only play so many FFXs, Persona 4s, and low budget sidescrollers. The Switch by the end of this year will have top notch 1st party games covering so many genres, shooter, adventure, 3d platformer, multiple fighting games, casual games, tactical rpg (technically 3rd party), and a giant RPG with XB2
i recently bought 2 vitas and they are my first portable gaming device.I dont understand how it has failed in north america.Its an absolutely amazing lil unit! I love it and recomend all gamers should have one(or two)!
Recently dusted off my Vita and bought a few titles I missed out on (Odin Sphere and Tearaway). Fell in love with this handheld again. It's such a shame it flopped
I think it is a great idea, because now there is a few DEVs thar are not working in games for The Switch because they feel that it has too low specs.SONY would need to have better specs so DEVS will be interested in creating big games cross compatible. Great channel! greatings from Chile
Smartest thing a Vita 2 could do is use the same physical format as the Vita cards, include backwards compatibility (like DS games on the 3DS), and then fix the proprietary memory card issue.
Vita sold terribly here in the US and it's Sony's own fault for having it at a very high price at launch and refusing to drop the price and a very expensive memory card and terrible marketing, those are the main reasons why the Vita failed. Although that aside I love the Vita and the JRPGs that it has
Ludger's Channel it was mainly bc the memory cards that it failed and the lack of games coming to it. 3DS was just pushing games one after the other and getting a sd card for it was so easy
Also the vita had bad advertising
I think the memory card is the reason that actualy killed it
Baciul Alex No it's not the cards, 8gb is like $20. Don't tell me people refuse to buy a $200 handheld because of that .
Ludger's Channel Do you need a JPN Version of the PS Vita to play the Japanese games?
Bought myself a Vita a couple weeks ago just for Gundam G Generation and other JRPG games. Worth it.
I would buy a Vita to play those games if they were not already for PS4.
RustAMVs I bought one a few months ago to play indie games and Japanese titles. I totally love it. There's already at least two games I own on my PC that I finally finished on the PS Vita.
the jrpgs you are talking about are cheaper on vita and there are other older vita titles that are only on vita
RustAMVs super robot wars V
RustAMVs Don't lie to yourself. It's not fucking worth it. It may be worth it if you're a rich fuck, but for the average person, it is not worth it at all. Don't lie to yourself and don't lie to other people.
No. The Vita might still be widely used in Japan, but I can't see it being supported in the west any longer. It's a shame; the Vita is fundamentally a good handheld.
Kmg24 don't know the numbers in the west but the community for the vita seems pretty loyal to it. I hope that community can keep the vita alive here :(
I'm from Houston, so I guess you could say vita followers here are out of this world ;)
"fundamentally" good
>expensive proprietary memory cards
Sayr Yes, it's fundamentally good in spite of that stupid decision on Sony's part.
no.0221 haha life without drama is boring.
not only in japan but most part of asia
Still enjoying the Vita, but some of the Japanese game should be localized. I live in Asia but not all asian can read Japanese or Chinese language.
I'm actually against localization and geolocking. That feels like censorship to me
They could simply translate the game to English that is the world language everybody uses
for those of you that think the vita is dying you are flat out wrong. not only is it an awesome handheld with new games still coming out for it but it's an amazing remote play accessory for the ps4. also multiplayer is free on vita which is nice cause any other device will cost you. sorry but playstation fans arent only CoD and Uncharted players.
Kelly Fitzpatrick absolutely vita is the best i always play via remoteplay even when I'm long distance i can still play my ps4 with good wifi
Nintendo Switch: Omae wa ma Shinderu
PS Vita: Nani
Kelly Fitzpatrick For the vita to die it would have First had to live. The vita was dead at launch. With the lack of games from triple a developers plus overly expensive memory cards, the vita was a failure almost immediately.
well this aged well
@@Minecraftmaster44 LOL well new Vita games are releasing for eastern audience. People in the east still use it, and as long as it has English subtitles, I'll be buying them, just imported Gundam Breaker 3 Break Edition, and I can't wait
i bought a ps vita today!
i already have a 3ds but what's stopping me with the switch is that it's a bit expensive at the moment, and there isn't really anything on it that i want to play enough to spend the money on it. there's also that i don't have a tv, which is also why i don't have a ps4.
but i'm hoping the vita will keep me going for now with more games to play~
taem1nho just hack it does it have 3.60?
taem1nho I bought a Vita a few months ago. If you like playing indie and Japanese games as much as I do, you won't regret it. So many awesome games.
taem1nho get dust force
Definitely should do u especially if u don't have a ps4 loads of the great vita games got ported over to PS4, it has a lot of great games but not many exclusives anymore
Sorry to hear that you wasted your money. You should have just kept saving up for when the Switch had more games you wanted.
after been reading some of the comments, it seems like people don't watch your content :/
+Cyberjin
They seem to love the titles though ;)
ikr theyre only here to shout "hey vita is dead! theres no need to buy this piece of shit handheld when youre already have the switch!"
i swear vita haters and nintendo fanboys are the worst
Fubuki Destroyer I agree!
So basically
-Make the game configurable (like pc), and play PS4 games
-make it backwards compatible
-make the PSN store like steam
so basically handheld PC #PCMasterRace
oh and btw Sony, if you actually want to make "Vita 2", use a standard microSD, or at least if it is proprietary, don't make it awfully expensive
Nakura Orihara pc master race.... Lol don't make me laugh the only thing I see you guys do is port beg on every cool video game trailer that's not pc
I find myself playing my PS Vita more than my 3ds. My 3ds collects dust. The games on the 3ds are repetitive. Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, Fire emblem and Mario again. I am a huge Pokemon fan and that's the only reason why I'm keeping it around. PS Vita has Ys series, gravity rush, jrpgs, walking dead , Digimon series, sword art, disgaea series, atelier series, child of light, Rayman series shooters like killzone, vanillaware games, Final Fantasy, PSP games and PS One games and a whole lot more. In my opinion the only reason 3ds is more popular is because they have a huge kids fan base when compared to PS Vita. Also Sony wanted money fast with no effort when it came to the Vita. The Vita's unpopularity is no one's fault but SONY's
Actually,most of the ps vita fanbase are children
Justing Wong lmao what you said is wrong. i could say the same thing with the toxic nintendo fanbase always talk shit about the vita
^
Vita will be better if sony put ps2 cgame in psvita. Persona 4 golden and ffX is best example for that. When persona 4 golden release, ps vita sales number increase significantly but, sony didn't realize that best opportunity to commercial it.
@@lapsedilationdrive3943 Now i dont know about official vita data but according to nintendo most nintendo switch users are adults and or teens. So saying that is completely wrong. And most nintendo fans arent that way (like always, the vocal minority is real toxic). I for example bought a psp a while ago because its just a cool handheld. And i eould really like to get a vita but unfortunately the system failed so hard that its difficult to find one at a normal price
Yo! Just found this channel. I happen to like coffee... I sense that's a thing here. And you have some very interesting opinions; therefore I have subscribed! :D
Much Vita love.
Sony shot themselves in the foot with the psp line. I bought the original psp and the vita, and Sony killed both of them with any lack of support. they were outright lazy with it. like they just expected it to sell because it's a Sony product and had about 5 first party games, then got mad when we wanted more and they didn't do anything about it. Just like people say Nintendo couldn't survive on first party, ps vita couldn't survive with just 3rd party. I love my ps4 but I wouldn't be bothered to get suckered into another handheld from them.
I love that you're consistent with this coffee moment. Makes us feel like we know you and it's a relaxation moment that eases us into your video. Makes you seem down to earth too. We can always count on your entrance to every video involving coffee.
Did someone say overpriced memory cards?
ShadowNetBG funny cause I never had to change mine. Bunch of downloaded games on the vita but I mostly use it for a second screen and control. Remote play is really handy.
I love my vita so much
Watching you fix coffee or tea is so very.. satisfying,, Am i the only one that thinks this too? lmao
Christian Guerassio I was just about to comment the same thing!
actually, i didn't listen to what he is talking about when the camera is screening the coffee😅. i felt like i'm under hypnosis🤣
it's kinda sad how Sony stated there will never be a Vita successor as they would like to concentrate on more profitable and growing mobile gaming market instead.
コイノ/ Koino they actually didn't say "never" they said nothing at the moment, that was before switch... which based on Sony' response I (and a lot of other people) think they are planning something new. the switch was a huge success(so far, fingers crossed it continues) and shows that handheld is still viable.
Trustworthy Traitor YES! You are so right.👏
lol a vita successor would be part of the mobile gaming market. By mobile gaming market do you or sony mean touch creen phone games?
Make psvita run all ps2 games. Done.
Don’t forget a port of sonic generations
Ima go down and watch these expert comments
Shadow Gold the realist person on youtube comments
Because. Nintendo is in the business longer than Sony, so their "mascots" are memorable to the majority of people... And they're making really good use to this advantage.
Kuro Kohi thats why Nintendo has been planing the switch strategy for 2 years Nintendo has already have the right moves cause they are using a different position we cannot see it but Nintendo is undoubtedly 2 steps ahead.
Haruhi Suzumiya PlayStation better get to work on that Sony swap 😂😂😂😂
Sasha Starks I'm waiting for the Microsoft Change™.
Sony had every opportunity to build up their own line of mascots. They just didn't. They try once and then never do it again. Crash is technically their mascot, but how long has it been since Crash has been visible on Sony platforms? Ages ago, and only recently did they resurrect that. But will they push it again? I wouldn't be surprised if they did not.
And so they'll never have the same iconic mascots as Nintendo.
Yes, yet Nintendo did not blame mobiles for the "death" of dedicated handheld consoles... oh wait, the 3DS succeded, why?
-cheap SD cards as main memory
-First party games ran and looked great
-although it had some shit 3rd party ports, most games ran very well
-they cut the price when they had to instead of blaming others for their moronity.
I was just distracted by the coffee
Lol same here!
The PS Vita in my opinion is much better than the 3ds. I mean Persona 4 Golden looked perfect on the Vita's screen. Perhaps people would recognize the console a bit more if Sony ported games like Persona 5 and Ultimate Naruto Ninja Storm 3 & 4 with solid 30 fps
DJGanesh356 vita is better than 3ds overall, but not because of persona4.
"vita is better than 3ds overall" that is highly subjective. I think the ps vita in the west is horrible compared to the 3ds
Hi im Ish Well the PS Vita has a brighter screen and higher resolution than the 3ds. 3ds is only 280p and the only reason mainly why it's popular is Pokémon and Mario
+DJGanesh356 you should really reevaluate your comment lol
No I think he is right the visuals and specs are way better then the 3ds. So why did the 3ds sell so much more? Was it just that the clam shell was a better design, or was the memory cards to expensive on the vita? I would be super happy if sony made a new handheld, and it got persona 5.
The Vita2.. give processing power a bump (like the new 3DS) and get rid of the expensive memory cards.. You'd have the whole back catalog of vita/ps1/psp... and potential for new developers with the extra power.
There are many games that are cross buy between PS4 and Vita. They're usually indieish games but it does exist and is quite useful
You can use the Vita to play the PS4 with remote play. Like get comfy on your bed instead of having to sit in front of the TV, or if ur parents want to use the tv. I find that a very useful feature
The vita can never die at this point, Sony created a gem so the next step is to make some sort of vita 3000 with better specs and some unique feature, etc. A PS4 portable is not a good idea right now due to the massive download file size and mostly unfinished games.
There's a lot of Vita hating going on in this comment section. Fuck what you (or Sony) think, I love my Vita and still play it constantly. What Sony should do for the west is make more PSP/PS1 games available on PSN. That would definitely satisfy my gaming needs. Even better Sony should let Hengaku (or who ever does the next one) hack the console so we can run emulators on the Vita. #VitaLives
StonerBob Enomotopants I like Nintendo but I also like Vita. #PortableMasterRace. #VitaSteamSwitch is a dream.
I wish I could drink coffee without like...feeling like I'm going to die...lmao one cup and I'm dying. too much caffeine I'm unnecessary sensitive. Also...my vita is under my bed unused somewhere under there. all the games I want to play are Japanese exclusives.
Seasonal Frostbite the coffee part is relatable! I love coffee but it makes me very shaky and my heart rate goes really high.
Hand on heart I drink about 12 cups a day... I really need to cut back.
I hate how coffee tastes, but it smells and looks great.
Seasonal Frostbite the vita is region free
+John NoNameGibbon Milk, sugar or honey really helps improve the taste. Using more mild coffee beans also helps.
Dat thumbnail though
looks like tge analog will have a bad day
Jollan Delante *BOLD*
The Vita can succeed when Sony puts more exclusives and stops putting crappy indie games on the system.
ps vita 2
-1080 OLED screen
-backward competable for vita 1
-full psp ps1 digital library
-digital ps2 games!!
-perfect ps4 remote play ( no delay like right now)
-ps3 games digital (vita 2 being same engine as ps3 and able to play entire 1000games digitaly)
-exclusive vita 2 games and come back of MH series !
this would be my dream machine
THIS!
you forgot a couple things though. hdmi output to tv, L2 R2 L3 R3 buttons, NO PROPRIETARY MEMORY! and last but not least advertisement! i like some japanese games but not all. ps vita is 90% japanese and 10% western support and i think the ps vita "2" (or whatever) i think support would be better 75% western and 25% japanese
That is not happening
They can't have backwards compatibility for both ps3 and ps vita.Plus,the cell cpu is very inefficient and takes way too much power.Also, a 1080p oled screen is a bad idea and it is impossible to do any time of remote play without latency
Great video, hate to notice that the sound is out of sync on the 1080p stream but fine on every other bitrate. Come on RUclips, get it together.
What a great content. I sure hope PS Vita would come back to life, with much more Japanese RPG and Visual Novels. (I just had to cringe for the squeaky noise from the grinder... can you do something about it?)
There's actually a pretty good amount of games that bundle in the Vita version now.
I actually just recently got a Vita and was surprised to find I had a back log of games I bought that had cross play that I didn't even realize were cross play.
Someone get this gentleman a job at Sony, stat! :)
lol yeah. he thinks like the rest of us think
and thats SMART
People keep saying it's failed or "irrelevant" but how can that be? I was just on ps Store and all these years later there's half a dozen new games or more just this month.
Isn't it more accurate to say that its success is far more limited than Sony hoped? I'm fairly new to vita but I just see dozens of accessories, content creators and hundreds of games and new games all the time and everyone saying it's finished is so weird to me.
I agree mostly with your synopsis. Imho though, I think Capcom's, Monster Hunter World, will breathe life back into the Vita when it releases. And, if rumors prove to be true that Sony put Capcom back into their $$pockets$$, then we may even get an exclusive version of a new updated MH game for the Vita. If this happens, I promise you, the entire unit will literally be revived. Sony will have turned a 'loss' into a complete win with just the power of one game.
It’s one thing with your channel that always brings me back here checking your old videos.. the talking over coffee! It’s so relaxing. oh, dear God.. :D
One question, a friend of mine is going back to Japan this November and I’ve been thinking to buy PSVita special edition there (any kind of Vita SE) that they don’t sell here in Indonesia. Do you think it’s still worth it? I mean I never own one, neither Vita or Switch but here in my country Switch is so popular but I’m just not into it. I mean I love Zelda but Vita seems to have games that catch my interests. And I love the design. Any kind of related suggestion would be very useful. Thanks in advance! 😊
My Red vita has just been in my desk unused for months now. Last game I remember playing was Steins;Gate.
I’m a hand held console gamer. I used to play both the psp and ds. and i have to admit that in terms of portability and comfort, sony’s psp (i got the go) is more comfortable. I’ve been eyeing the psvita for a while but i just bought a switch and a new 3ds xl (replacing my old new 3ds that got busted batteries)
The reason i’ve been eyeing the psvita is because it can play psp games and its own game. Plus the fact that it’s havked now...and it’s actually MOOREE portable than the switch. I couldn’t even say that the switch is a ‘portable’ because of the size... so i mostly use it docked..
i dont think the vita could "still" succeed.its a shame considering its great and i use it far more than my 3ds even though i've had it 5 years longer .its far too late for it. maybe in 2014 or even 15 but definetly not in 17. i think its about time for sony to make a new handheld in 2018 considering the switch, why let nintendo have the WHOLE cake?
EDIT: ps vita 2 or psp2 or just a new handheld with these games (gta5,crash bandicoot n sane,persona 5,dragon ball fighterZ,nuns4) BOOM HOTCAKES
i've longed for a gta and naruto game. persona 5 would be great considering p4G
Vita 2 needs three main things:
-Standardized storage medium through Micro SD. It's a pain in the ass the Vita uses proprietary memory cards that cap at 64GB and those cost about $130 after importing.
-L2 and R2, and L3 and R3 buttons. Touchscreen virtual inputs just aren't anywhere near as good.
-As the video stated, better integration with PS4.
-As the video stated, out of the box capability to hook up to a TV like the Switch can. The Vita TV is a great device and all, but that should've been possible out of the box. Just cable and bluetooth support for external controller or use the handheld itself.
-Backwards compatibility with Vita, hopefully both digitally and physically like the 3DS and DS.
-Allow multiple accounts on the same Vita so I can have my Japanese, North American and European PSN all on the same system like I can on PS3 and PS4.
Other than that, I love the Vita. Great library of games, games are physical, no moving parts. I want Vita 2.
Vita is only good because jrpgs
spooky That's your opinion but I like the fighting games
on the Vita like Tekken X Street Fighter crossover or Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3
wmcroy3306 I like some fighting games on their but I only really got vita because jrpgs
spooky And Persona 4 Dancing All Night
spooky There are many good Indies as well
I like halo and Zelda, so unless I get a hacked vita it's useless for me
I'm a fellow Vita lover and bought one in 2020 and absolutely love it.
Vita needs FAR more 3rd party action game ports that aren't indie crap to succeed. These girl- hero pedogames and jrpg's from Japan aren't cutting it. Western action games are the only way. If Capcom were to for whatever reason put the upcoming Street Fighter Anniversary Collection on Vita, there would be a ton of sales, and it might actually be a console-mover.
The PlayStation Vita has two way of competing with the Switch already - PS4 Remote Play and a hacked PSTV. If you have a PSTV, you can now use the PSVimgTools whitelist hack and use it to load any Vita game on the PSTV. And other than Nintendo exclusives, all the games on Switch are either already released on PS3 or PS4 or are coming to PS4. If you want to play those games on the go, just use the PS4 Remote Play. So long as you have a good high speed WiFi connection, you're in business.
Vita's pretty much dead, and Sony unfortunately doesn't care.
That said I love my 2 Vitas and my Vita TV and am building another Vita for use with Yifan's SD card adapter. I'll finally get to have ALL my (legit) games on one machine :D
That has me more excited than any of Nintendo's overpriced machines.
An Tran
"...Sony unfortunately doesn't care." If anyone goes to the official Playstation site anyone can see this. PSVita isnt even on the top but in the games section. I remember it being up there with PS4 AND PS3.
After reading the comments...
- I enjoy how the coffee brewing/drinking is incorporated into these videos. Some of my favorite times with close friends are when we relaxed, sipping coffee and theorizing or getting creative with our ideas. Much like Nihongo Gamer does here. It feels very comfortable and keeps me here for the full video as his insights are interesting.
- I really don't quite get how strongly people feel negatively towards the Vita. Sure, there are several things that weren't addressed by Sony when they should've been ($$ memory cards), but I've had a wonderful experience overall and I can see why folks would like to see something similar by Sony succeed this time as the game libraries between 3DS/Switch and the Vita are very different and having both in existence would appeal to the most gamers.
- On the second pass of pouring, I like to work my spiral from the outside in, keeping the strength of the brew consistent 😉
You started this video by saying the Switch isnt keeping your attention then you end with a Sony Switch scenario? i don't get it
Hey man! I really like your style of videos (who else makes coffee while talking about games? Lol)
One thing that really stands out to me is the background music you use. Where do you get it from?
im so sad i love the vitaaa 😭
Lauren Palmer Shame Sony doesn't love the vita.
Sony made a big deal about it then abandon it like Microsoft did with the connect
Love you video style man. I had to hit that subscribe button
No psvita 2 psvita 3000 like psp 3000. hdmi output 1080p oled screen 4 gigs of RAM 3gigs internal storage micro SD card Bluetooth 5.0 and plays PlayStation 4 games.?
Stop dreaming
At what price? 600$? A portable ps4 isnt possible right now at an affordable price. And how would you fit that disk drive into a portable?
I purchased the Nintendo Switch about a month ago ,but I still play my Playstation Vita. with a library of over 1400 games you can't go wrong and the games are awesome. it's such a shame they stopped supporting it on the states. I would love to see indie development groups continue to make games for it.
I think the Vita 2 should be running a system closer to Phones/tablets rather than a PC console.
I believe its the Arm based processors or Arm Platform or something like that.
Lurker 8675309 Nope no more vita Sony should stick to consoles instead.
You brought up a lot of great points that really got me thinking about things and for that, I thank you!
sony has rly good characters, crash, spyro, sly cooper, just to name a few
yeah. sony doesnt need to rehash games over and over and over again. they make new mascots
Crash and spyro are not Sony's characters. Activision
Al Ball because they dont have them, they just fund games and studios
Crash and spyro dont belong to sony and arent ecen exclusive to sony
So, I'm assuming you're bilingual nihongo gamer. I'm jealous, and it seems like no matter how hard I work I can never truly get the Japanese language down, but if you have that there's very little you can't play in a language you understand and that's just amazing, and would certainly be a benefit to a Vita owner. And...are you located in the US or Japan currently? Because in Japan you really just need to invest in a massive manga magazine and you're all set for any long trip no matter what age you are, which in Japan is probably a train trip instead of a car trip. That said, I live in NA and I would definitely buy the Vita you outlined. My main concern would actually be using a proper memory card format, which you didn't touch on, but the points you did bring up sound like they'd make for a great system.
Wowie, didn't see this video coming.. lol
T^T)~
/unexpectedsistar
problem with sony is they had the chance to launch the ps4 with a vita bundle down the line;im sure people would of bought it in a bundle.and the thing your talking about kind of already exists the ps tv which is like the nintendo switch but only downside to it is that you cant play all of the vita games on it because its lets you play natively certain games because its not touch pad games
idk if i should keep my xbox and buy the vita for portable gaming or sell xbox and buy switch
kshckdshkcjh sdlkvjflkvj you can play a ps4 long distance from vita with good wifi
@@Rpgmaniac or you can play with the switch without wifi anywhere
Hey NihongoGamer what do you think of the Handheld PC like the GPD?
It's pretty much dead at this point. There's no turning back for the PS Vita now. Give it a bit of time and it'll be dead sooner.
yep. but i want it to die, so that it can become my new emulator machine (which currently, is my psp)
M. HAMDANI jp developers are the only ones keeping it alive.
It's such a shame Sony doesn't want to make a new handheld when a lot of devs are willing to make games on it
Great time to collect some vita games.
Japanese developers and Western/Japanese indie developers.
19ax - Music Artist same have henkaku enso installed but its still sitting around
If they do make a vita 2, would you rather have it come with L2 R2 bumpers to have a console experience, but compromise backwards compatibility. Or would you keep the 2 touch screens 🤔🤔🤔
Admit it! Sony lost on handheld!
maykolee The weird thing is, that's only in the global market. In Japan Nintendo lost with the 3DS. From what I've heard from people and seen in Japanese media, Vita is still king over there. Weird, but yeah.
Live the truth lol no. have you even follow media create/famitsu japanese sales?
Live the truth yea that's strange.... well here in uk almost everyone I know have a 3ds, I never even seen a vita out in the wild or know anyone that has 1....
Sony might have lost in sales but u cant deny there are better games on the vita and a bigger variety .
Michael Mota no thats entirely false.
Have you been checking out Limited Run Games? they are putting out Vita games that typically digital only, especially for the US which doesn't put out too many physical games these days
vita has been dead for 4 years now. i cant see it coming back. especially in the west. The main selling point of the vita was a console experience on the go....and the switch already does that much better. i think the vita can remote play with ps4, but it needs a wifi connection, so its not as mobile as the switch. The switch uses an ARM architecture which makes software easier to port from x86, in fact its more modern than the architecture in ps4 pro and xbone x. Your dream handheld console' is basically the switch.
SMoj all games were built on a pc the switch actually has the tools to easily export the issue is optimization.
Haruhi Suzumiya Yes, optimisation is what needs to be done. that can include removing and changing assets and adjusting the resolution and lighting engine. people who say " that game cant run on switch" are completely wrong. ANY game can run on the switch. its a matter of changing assets and basically lowering strain on the GPU. that doesnt nessesarily mean making the game look worse on switch, if optimised properly the game can look pretty on switch in its own way. eg: witcher 3 on ps4 looks pretty good despite having a different lighting engine and less shaders. The switch is in a good position because it has support for most modern API like havok, ue4 etc... which makes the process of porting piss easy. something the wii u lacked.
SMoj To be fair the Switch doesn't have any current gen AAA game either. Yes you can argue Nintendo games are AAA quality but what I am obviously talking about demanding current gen games like Red Dead Redemption, Star Wars Battlefront and Assassin's Creed. Also it was the Xbox 360 Witcher 2 that had different lighting and redesigned shaders. Witcher 3 was consistent across all platforms. I think the reason we still haven't seen any third-party AAA game on the Switch is the fact that undocked mode Switch GPU is only 0.5 Teraflops. Even Xbox One with 1.3 Teraflops drops to 720p on demanding games.
If things were as easy as you seem to think, we'd have ARM tablets a long time ago with Windows 10 and the latest Photoshop
wrdeal24 those arent the same thing lol :P we are talking about games, not an OS and application. games nowadays are made using a game engine. which makes things 100x easier.
Good video. Owning a Wii U + Vita has me feeling like I don't need a Switch just yet. The Vita solved all the technical problems the PSP had (blurry screen, controls etc.), based on positive experiences with Sony handhelds I'd buy another one in a heartbeat. The PSP was between PS1 & 2, the Vita was between PS2 & 3, hopefully Switch's success convinces them to do another handheld between PS3 & 4 that leverages PS4 software.
It's already dead by years.
Jenoss a lot of jrpg/novel games are coming to Europe in this year for Vita.
yes.
Some game still come to the nes, even if the nes is died 20 years ago.
This don't prove anything.
The console is dead.
The project that are still coming, are coming only because they was started 2+ years ago.
Sony drop any possible support to his own child.
LET THE DEAD STAY DEAD
stop talking trash about the vita. you dont even know shit on what you are talking about. PSN support is still there. PRODUCTION of vita is still maintain and there are games that are gonna be released on it and still you are saying that the vita is dead?
just because sony didnt support it with AAA titles doesnt mean that its dead. the nes is a fcking dead console because not even its CREATORS are manufacturing it nor making games for it. gtfo
Fubuki Destroyer bro I have a vita and is dead as the shit I made one year ago. You can love it as much as you want but this will not change anything at all. I enjoy to see the psn empty every week as the previous one. Enjoy your hundreds of imaginary new releases
you are either a fucking troll or a vita hater. "enjoy your hundreds of imaginary new releases"
except that the vita is still getting new games in japan. of course its not AAA titles but still theyre games
"i enjoy to see the psn empty every week"
yeah at this point,youre obviously trolling. look i do admit that the vita is a failure. sony is a dick for not making AAA games anymore but that doesnt change the fact that it is still getting support from 3rd party studios
I highly recommend the PS Vita and the PS TV/PS Vita TV. The PS Vita and the PS TV/PS Vita TV come in handy if you want to download PSP games on to them. If you want to download and play your PSP games on the Vita and the PS TV/PS Vita TV, then there is no need to get a PSP 1000, PSP 2000, PSP 3000 or a PSP Go. Plus, there is no need for friend codes and you can play online for free on the PS Vita and the PS TV/PS Vita TV.
How NIHONGOGAMER Might still FAIL
Man oh man I think you should really simmer down with the titles... I think they're doing your content a disservice, by overstating the subject matter in the video.
+ValorZeroAdvent
Probably true. But if the video is worth watching then it's still worth watching. To me a title is just that, a title.
They just need to drop the memory card price. I would buy so many games if I could buy a 64gb card without feeling robbed.
I think its dead man. Its really not worth buying, your better off playing the 3Ds, its got pokemon
TechXSoftware Lol if Pokemon the only reàson to buy an 3DS then im definitely not buying it, I'll stick to the Vita instead
yeah 3D's aint got many games, pokemon, mario kart, mario 3d, are the best ones. The normal DS has way more games.
TechXSoftware Lol, Pokemon?? It is a popular game and it was my favorite series, but there are a ton of Vita games I find a lot more enjoyable than Pokemon. The series is stale. I'd rather play Soul Sacrifice, Gravity Rush, Little Big Planet, Killzone Mercenaries, and Dragon's Crown.
TechXSoftware firr emblem? gunvolt? zelda? smash? there are a ton of games on the 3ds
TechXSoftware soon the switch will have a pokemon.
they have released a new handheld every 5 years after a new console release. so a new handheld to release either the end of next year or the beginning of 2019 would be pretty cool
No just No, its dead let it go
seems like you didnt watch the whole video :/
I feel that just like the Wii U, the PlayStation Vita was highly underrated. They both had really immersive games. The designs were unique and neat. Although both of these consoles were released at the wrong time.
No, it can't survive.
Not when the switch has the handheld industry by the neck as well as the 3DS.
Sneakyweavile TV did you even watch the video?
Rai Jin he didn't
Sneakyweavile TV Yep 3ds murdered the vita.
Sneakyweavile TV switch is ass though
DC Comics are the best lol no
Those adjustable settings sound like a cool idea, but you don't really need to rely on hardware for that. Those settings rely on *the game engine*, where the problem is that most games use their own game engines, and it is up to the developers to either tweak that, or enable them in-game to allow players to tweak it themselves.
A perfect example is two of Capcom's games on the 3DS - Street Fighter IV 3D, and MH3U, both of which use their Mobile MT Framework game engine. Granted the only option you can change is whether to turn stereoscopic 3D on or off, but this one setting has a considerable impact on game performance. Turning them off allowed the game to run smoother. Not sure if any of these games hit 60fps, but I'm pretty sure they go well above 40fps at the very least.
And then we go back to the developers - is it worth their time to include these settings into the game? Or would it be better for them to just tweak it themselves and call it a day? Effort is good and all, but not all devs have enough time nor the will to put in more effort for these little things. Everybody works on a deadline, and that's just a fact of corporate businesses. Indies might be able to get away with it, but devs owned by corporations? I don't think so.
are you doing this for views?
Milo Kreek What do you think
Milo Kreek Are you doing this for likes?
Norwegian Reaper No that was not my goal xD.
previous title "Nintendo Switch MIGHT still fail"
and this video title.. what do u think?
Ciwen Gao yeah I'm seeing a pattern.
Coffee and gaming, my combination. You sir got a new fan
I'm pretty sure it's impossible, but something that would make the Vita sell A LOT is a port of Demon's Souls or Dark Souls. I already own a Vita, but if I didn't have one and a Souls game was available for it, I'd definitely buy one
For a Vita2 success there are a couple things need to happen in addition to what the vita has currently.
- Backwards compatibility with vita cards
- at least 720p at 60fps gameplay
- killer exclusive games or a "Zelda BOTW" equivalent
- rebranding of what a portable is for the Sony consumer. It can be a stand alone console or a portable ps4 at lower visual quality. Better remote play or a different way of going about it. Such as D/L local copies of games on Vita and connect to ps4 via a dock for ps4. Unlock vita for portable and redock for play and transfer of save to ps4.
It's insane how the vita is still being mentioned, kinda bugs me since I recently gave mine away after not playing it because of the switch.
I think the vita being a nice small handheld for playing nice smaller quality games would be(yeah, using that word some) nice... doesn't have to be a big thing, just something Sony, Playstation, etc., does on the side... like, a portable console all it's own, that has it's own games and everything. Something like that, at least. 🌿
I just picked up my PS Vita in February of this year, so I'm incredibly late to the party. LOL, but still I have no regrets with my purchase it is truly an extraordinary handheld console. I really hope that this video reaches some ears and eyes of Sony executives. Also nice video man I really enjoyed it! It made me want a cup of coffee while I play Megaman Legends on my Vita.
Nice timing on the video, just recently ordered my first Vita.. couldn't resist dat shiny Hatsune Miku Edition.
Making a hand held version of the PS4 that actually plays the PS4 games, can be a tricky thing. Since Consoles are often sold at a loss, getting a person to buy a PS4 hand held when they already have a PS4, means that they are not really going to recoup the cost of the hand held, since you might have bought the game on you non hand held PS4. On the other hand maybe it will just lock some peoples game purchases further into the PS ecosystem.
Hi, I'm English living in Japan and idk where I can find a switch!!! I live near Shibuya and found a couple of stores that are sold out but nothing available, can you help me out?
A lot of new games are still coming out I just pre ordered 2 of them thanks btw I just subbed
I've watched a bit of your stuff here and there, but this video has convinced me to sub.
Did you know that the nintendo switch is running off a tegra x1. This is a chip that was released inside the shield tv in may 2015. I think it is very posible for them to make the complete standard ps4 specs in a portable system. The only issues I think theyd run into is battery life
rip vita successors - 2019
A good example of the cross play between games is Phantasy Start Online 2. It works on PC, but you can play on PS4 and they have a version that works on PSVita. Where you can pickup and go with your PSO account.
VITA actually has TONS of exclusive titles. In the last 30 days we had 6 new 30hours+ full fledged physical releases for VITA and more if you consider indie games. The same cannot be said for Switch at the moment (and I'll definitely buy switch as soon as things change).
PS. VITA already has a TV out (like psp). Sony did not activate it as they wanted to sell PSTV (that allows you to play vita games on tv - I use it every time).
does the fan clean it out or keep it cool? I love this video format. reminds me of when im talking games over coffee at a cafe with friends.
I'd like to see more videos of you traveling around on the bike.
Really want the Switch and the Vita to succeed, much like how competition with PSP and DS, both had incredible games.
I adored my vita, but for someone in the west, we totally got shafted. After the first drizzle of launch window titles, Sony abandoned ship. When I first saw it when I was 13, the graphics blew me away and many experiences were on par to the console ports. I know it's an Indie and JRPG treasure trove, but I can only play so many FFXs, Persona 4s, and low budget sidescrollers. The Switch by the end of this year will have top notch 1st party games covering so many genres, shooter, adventure, 3d platformer, multiple fighting games, casual games, tactical rpg (technically 3rd party), and a giant RPG with XB2
i recently bought 2 vitas and they are my first portable gaming device.I dont understand how it has failed in north america.Its an absolutely amazing lil unit! I love it and recomend all gamers should have one(or two)!
Recently dusted off my Vita and bought a few titles I missed out on (Odin Sphere and Tearaway). Fell in love with this handheld again. It's such a shame it flopped
I think it is a great idea, because now there is a few DEVs thar are not working in games for The Switch because they feel that it has too low specs.SONY would need to have better specs so DEVS will be interested in creating big games cross compatible. Great channel! greatings from Chile
Smartest thing a Vita 2 could do is use the same physical format as the Vita cards, include backwards compatibility (like DS games on the 3DS), and then fix the proprietary memory card issue.
