Hey all, thinking of getting a Vita. Questions.
- Does it now support all the PSP and PS1 games on PSN?
- Why would one get the 3G version over the regular? Any good reason? I can't imagine one. I mean surely you'd have to pay a monthly fee?
- Do PSP/PS1 games suffer from any issues, other than certain games not being available that were released on UMD?
- I'm looking to get one of the newer models, in the Japan-exclusive white/lime colour scheme. Any reason not to import?
- Anything else I should know?
Thing is, I could get a PSP-3000 quite cheap, but I think now's the right time to go with the Vita.

You can't get 3G in the newer models. They are all Wi-Fi-only. The only reason not to import is if you prefer the idiot western X and O, instead of the Japanese O and X.
The Vita was always doomed from the day the design was finalised. Had they added two extra shoulder buttons and clickable sticks, it could have been truly amazing.Kept you waiting, huh?

Interesting that the X/O thing is dictated by the hardware, and not the software like on the PS1/2. The PS3 can dictate it but in practice most developers ignored it.

Most PS1 games available on the store can be played but not all. Pocket Fighter, for example, can't. I think Syndicate Wars might be another. On the PSP front, there is some weirdness. For example a few of the DLC packs for Wipeout Pulse can be installed and one or maybe two can't for no real reason (they used to work when you transfer them via PS3 - have a suspicion you can't do that any more but I'm not certain). But most PS1 and PSP games available will work. Obviously not all games are available in all regions.

I know when the Vita first came out, Sony made an effort to try and ensure that all PSVita games that got a physical release would also see release on PSN. Did that carry through? I.e. did it continue to present day?
Also, are there any major PSVita games which haven't got a Euro release? I don't mean yet, i.e. there are bound to be games which may or may not get released - I just mean were there any major titles which are now several years old that never got released.
One of the bonuses with this is that I have a bunch of PSVita games from PSPlus, and I also have a fair few PSP/PS1 games too from when I owned a PSPGo.

From what I gather, there are no true Asian Vita games. Instead, they are simply relabelled US games.Kept you waiting, huh?

Just looking through PSN account to see what I already have that is Vita compatible. Turns out I don't actually have as much as I expected, PSPlus wise - though I do have a bunch of PS1 games and Final Fantasy Dissidia 2.
Surprised to see Burnout Legends doesn't work on Vita.Last edited by Asura; 07-02-2016, 15:43.

Having a Japanese PSN account will afford you a much wider choice in terms of content. There is so much more, it's silly.
Vita is the reason I switched to my Japanese account as my main. You can't have multiple accounts, so DLC is locked out unless you run the native country.

So the other unpleasant topic that always comes up with the Vita - memory cards.
I see Amazon have the 16gb for ~?30:
I intend to go 100% digital; I'm not going to have any cart-based games (unless I ever happen upon something very cheaply in a bargain bin).
I'm sure they vary, but how big are Vita games? For instance, I have a 32gb card in the 3DS, and that's so big that the storage space is simply never a factor. You'd have to really work to fill that amount.

Really I wonder how the machine would've performed if they'd given it full dual shock pad functionality (as J0e points out), the memory cards had been a sensible price and they'd just ****ing called it "PSP2" like everyone was expecting. That and they'd thrown the bank at Capcom to keep Monster Hunter.Last edited by Asura; 08-02-2016, 09:25.
