true, however I play enough games as it is..I really should use that kind of time to read a book or somthing (and my ipod usually surfices as well)Cheesus333 said:Neither do I, but that didn't stop me busting out my GBA for a bit of Metroid Fusion at the airport the other dayVault101 said:
Handheld gaming isn't about "playing games whenever and wherever you are", it's more about "you will not always have a TV & Console or a PC available". Long train rides? DS is perfect for that. Killing time in the waiting room at a Doctor's office? Fire up the PSP. Obviously you can play them whenever you like, but handhelds offer a lot more flexibility with when and where you can use them - especially ones like the DS where you can literally just pause the game indefinitely by closing the lid and resume at any time by opening it.
OT: Personally, I didn't like the PSP and I don't think this Vita looks much better. I've always preferred Nintendo's handhelds.
anyway Im a little behined on the handheld scene, what were the capabilities of the PSP/PS-vita?
like what era type games are we talking? ps1? ps2?
I'm not at all impressed by the Vita. It doesn't look like a console as much as a bunch of pointless gimmicks loosely clobbered together. Two analog sticks sounds good, but overall it strikes me as unnecessary purchase.
Besides: As far as I can see, the Vita doesn't have a slot for actual game cartridges, relying instead entirely on downloads. I don't want to support consoles of this type, as regular game shops will be put out of business if download-only consoles should prove popular enough to take over!

Yes I would have, and I'm still gonna get it.
UNCHARTED PORTABLE, BBY. That in itself sold the handheld to me.

Well, would you look at that. I did notice the bit about the NVG card in the Wikipedia article, but from how it was described there, I thought it was a kind of new, fancy memory card.Jak23 said:
Congratulations, you have sort of changed my mind - I still don't feel like running out and getting a Vita any time soon, but if it gets PLENTY of good games, I might eventually be persuaded!
It doesnt have a disc drive, don't think sacrificing a large chunk of games i like for the sake of having them on weird memory stick thingies on a Vita would justify getting one...
The PSN is pretty much behind on releases, and some games might not even come to the PSN like the Non-JP versions of Mega Man Powered Up.
