The vita is criminally under rated
I've never had a PsVita because i had a Wii. But i always wanted a Vita because it's so interesting but it's too late for getting one i think.
@@davidmismas7046 its never late, i just started collecting old consoles and it’s bringing me a lot of joy, sadly younger children will never experience the greatest games of all time, because of worthless crap like fortnite
Not too late. They’re super easy to import from Japan fwiw and usually in great shape too. Usually priced fairly as well. You *can* buy from a US seller but you’ll end up paying more (sometimes a lot more) and they usually are in worse shape than the ones from Japan.
@@davidmismas7046 hell no, i got a new vita from japan in 2021, modded it, got a 500gb card with over 100 vita games, 200 psp games, ps1, retro games with retroarch.. this thing is a gem, even now with the steam deck i think its a worthy competitor when modded..
Mystic dedicates himself to playing older generation platforms and titles and that’s why this is my favorite channel
Yeah but how big of an audience cares about watching someone play the PS Vita and wait for someone to join? Zzz…Zzz.
Other than playing the old stuff I do love this channel.
@@unicorntomboy9736 salty nintendrone corporate slave fanboy crying over this video and 3ds and wii u eshops are closing next year and Sony will have the ps vita psn stores open for the foreseeable future. Hahaha sucks to be a Nintendo fanboy lol
You sacrificed a sealed game for us! Thank you Ryan
@@JohnnyMiraï u can put the vita back in the box too but that doesnt make it new now does it....
Recently bought Injustice: Gods Among Us for Vita and tried to play multiplayer on multiple different occasions and found an enemy every time, maybe I had some luck but I was quite surprised that there seems to be at least a small active community there
Great thing you continue to look into PS3 and Vita multiplayer, always anticipating the next video of this series!
If we could see single player counts I bet there's tons of single player games in the 100s active players, like Persona 4 Golden definitely has alot of people currently playing
P4G is what I bought my Vita for two years ago. Since then, I’ve started a replay & found tons of other gems to play. P4G is a gateway drug lmao
I'm still playing my Vita, not a lot of course, and now with my Steam Deck even less, but I have always prefer the Vita to the Switch. The VIta is the last and best proper handheld console ever made. Too bad Sony gave up on it so soon.
For now and nice of you to be a Nintendo switch fanboy crying over Sony portables lmao
ive been snagging cheap psone classics and psp games. the ys series is awesome and tons of them on this device
I'm curious if you've tried the Switch Lite, since it would be more directly comparable to the Vita, unlike the original and OLED models. (I prefer the dockable model but I'd like to know what a Vita gamer thinks of the handheld-only model)
@@bloodbond3 The switch lite is awesome but i really wish Nintendo would implement more touch screen mechanics like inventory sorting and menu navigation. It seems like a missed opportunity on tons of first party games. Even the new gta remastets have a touch screen map and thats 3rd party... but thats Nintendo for ya
for StreetFighter X Tekken you didnt find any lobbies because you chose to only match with PS Vita opponents (The final row of conditions when matchmaking, choose the 'opponent's system' to be any and you'll get into a match right away)
Hell yea, been waiting on another one of these! This is my favorite series of yours
I like the Botzone Addon for Killzone as it does allow you to play the game without the need for online
Absolutely loveeee my Vita! I don’t do a bunch of online play with it but still play it very regularly and love that there’s still trophy support
Love these checkin on who's playing online every year. Hope to run into Mystic when I'm on my PS3 or Vita.
I barely got my vita yesterday and I love it already it just blows my mind people still play it and support it to this day with the jailbreak and the homebrews getting updated daily
Ah, the little handheld that could... we love ya, little guy!
My vita only works when charged now, so I barely use it, but I can't stress that Sony needs to release another handheld
I'm actually getting my very first psvita in a few days off Amazon. I got the game and the charger for it already 😁
Edit: The game I got is Playstation all stars battle royale
I have my eyes on one too! My very first one but from ebay instead. Going to play and trophy hunt on it to hell an back. Hope it arrives soon and well for you :)
@@lotan9398 Really opens a whole new world with emulators and homebrew games. Plus psp, ps1 and of course, vita games!
Congrats man. Highly recommend: Killzone Mercenary; Uncharted: Golden Abyss; Resistance: Burning Skies; Gravity Rush; P4; Soul Sacrifice. Not sure if you'd want to get CoD BO Declassified; the singleplayer is short and mediocre but I heard decent things about the mp and a ton of people still play it probably more than any other mp Vita title. I personally couldn't get the mp to work for some reason but many have, including Mystic.
Get henkaku to hack it then pkgj for all vita ps1 and Psp library. Buy an sd2 vita and 64gb+ micro sd 👍
PS Vita has been my favorite product from Sony this past decade. So many hidden/niche gems on that platform, it’s amazing. I don’t personally like “CiNemATiK AAA Walking Simulator” games so the Vita is my jam.
@@sanskarmishra5309 I’m not a fan of games like The Last of Us Part II, Returnal or Horizon Forbidden West. I prefer Japanese-developed games like Freedom Wars, Soul Sacrifice, Persona, Dragon Quest, etc. and Vita provided me with those experiences.
Love my Vita so much, I platinumed Golden Abyss last night !! The lighting in that game is ridiculous for the Vita haha
This channel gives us very rare content, really Ryan you are the best PlayStation UA-camr!
I started playing Freedom wars and Persona 4 for the 3rd time and it's so nice to see when you clicl on " voice " it still shows me all the choices others took. What an amazing piece of hardware is Vita. I will never understand why Sony took such idiotic decisions with the Vita.
I still play my VITA on a regular basis and i really wish it had more love from SONY. I am just so glad i got my LBP Platinum back when it came out but i will never be able to get my Wipeout 2048 Platinum now which is such a shame as that game was fantastic.
I play my Vita more than my Switch, though I don't play anything online. Last game I played online was Freedom War.
Same here even though I enjoy my Switch and the 5 games I have for it and not had it very long at all. Even though I have owned my Vita 2000 since 2017, Wii U 2018, New 3DS XL 2020 and Switch Christmas 2021 I still jump on my Vita as it's just a good handheld and fulfilled the gap PSP did for me as my handheld preference for a long time and still does and glad I finally picked up an OLED Vita to compare all 3 (OLED, 2000, TV). I do prefer the 2000 more but still a great system. Just like still collecting for PS3 the Vita just fits and it's gimmicks I find a fine spin on things for games and portable.
Love my PS Vita I've unlocked 20 Platinums so far on the console just this year :D
Great watch Mystic thank you!
I was very late to the party in getting a vita as I only got one at Xmas last year, but I absolutely love it! Got the plat for uncharted golden abyss and just bought few more games there! Sad it never got the appreciation it deserved. Makes me feel so old seeing so many old games I used to play now going offline 😞
Doing the same thing with PS3. While not as neglected as the vita the community certainly is small. Leave me to collecting platinums that no one else but me will see lol
Pls tell me you’re gonna play Persona 4 Golden. It’s 100% worth your time.
It's a real pity that PS Vita game are not included in the new PlayStation Plus Premium subscription service coming in June as I feel the multiplayer for these games would be more populated.
@The tricky tick even if they add legacy titles most of the online servers may be down already and I doubt they can get it back up even if they wanted to.
Great video! I still play PS Vita, recently got back into it and bought a 64gb memory card and a bunch of new games online. Street Fighter X Tekken was my latest buy, I play online and just won my first match yesterday! Was hoping it might have been against you while watching your video! 😂
New Mystic video notification! Time to pause the podcast at work and take a quick YT break, lol. Great video. I busted out my Vita a few weeks back and have been loving it. Annoyed you have to fund your wallet on Sony, though.
Love these vids! Keep them coming!
i love these videos, great one!🔥
I've been waiting for this single video!!
That is a wonderful looking PS Vita. Now I'm sitting over here thinking about getting another vita😂
Do eeeeeet lmao. I have…a few. I tell myself they’re backups but really it’s just a collection at this point.
@@ViolinChick5 I may do it. The thing is that they are expensive. So I have to wait to find one for a good price.
VIRTUA TENNIS 4: WORLD TOUR EDITION is awesome. I got all the online trophies when I travelled to Japan & tons of people were playing it there. Just a nice memory for me every time I see the game.
Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is probably the most active fighting game on Vita.
Soul Sacrifice hurts. I remember playing with friends for hours. Such a great game, and all the free DLC was great!
Mystic, that Vita you have is BEAUTIFUL! Also I have a bunch of sealed games... but all of them are games I am going to play so what you did when you opened yours is what I did with a few already lol
Amazing video, Ryan! I love these videos so much, so happy that people are still playing these games online. Love that you share the same dedication to these games/platforms that I do, and I'm glad that these experiences are being preserved.
Keep up the great work, and I look forward to your next videos!
Dude, put out a discord server for people to join in on the games you play when you're on. I mostly play on the weekends myself. I'd definitely join in! 🤙💯
My vitas get more love than any of my other consoles. Such an awesome machine
@@chriswilliams9734 2 oleds. I was gonna mod one, and keep one stock. But after I found out how awesome it was for emulation, I had to mod the other.
@@johnnymoles318 nice bro. I have 2 slims auqa blue and silver. I have a white oled and a psvita tv console.
@@chriswilliams9734 if you haven't modded one, it is worth it. It's a beast, and the day I could play bully on my Vita I was stoked.
I just started collecting for the vita about 8 months ago when I picked up a 1000 OLED model. Finding games is getting harder and harder at reasonable prices. I get call of duty in a few days, get back on there and we can be very bad together, lol. Thanks for the video Ryan
I'm assuming you're only doing the collecting just to have physical copy right ? Instead of having like roms and alot of your "copies" in your vita?
Thanks Mystic, I love these videos. I’m currently playing PlayStation All Stars Battle Royale and motorstorm arctic edge on vita. After that, I’ll probably finish Killzone liberation ✌️
Love the color of that Vita man, it's one awesome device that still lives on still today
Ryan your Vita videos over the years has finally convinced me to get a Vita, just got a blue 2000 series off eBay from Japan. First game is the Jak and Daxter collection(first Vita and Jak and Daxter experience). Have a few games shipping right now.
Even the cat love it lmao
I just re hacked my OLED so happy. Gotta just change the battery but happy to still see that people love the vita. It’s my best friend in the studio & on the go still.
I love this channel omg ryannnn
Every video you post I will be there Mystic
For Street Fighter X Tekken, you didn't open your search as far as you could've. Some of the options were left as "Same" when they should be "Any".
You can also turn on Fight Request, where you play Arcade Mode while waiting for another player.
I was waiting for this
Fighting games were so good on Vita. I made it to the top 10 in leaderboards back when I played a TON of Marvel v Capcom 3.
My Vita gets tons of play still, but I'm not really an online gamer, so I just play everything solo... but I've always been that kind of gamer. ;-)
this video is so good love the vids
Hearing you mention Killzone Shadowfall made me wonder how many people still play that game! New series idea - go to some old PlayStation 4 games and see how active the servers are!
Man I recently was play declassified recently was trying to go for the plat, I'm so sad I didn't run into you!
Just got a vita recently and I’m hoping this become my 2nd fav console behind the ps5…mystics passion for vita and ps is sooo dope to see🙏
@@Pabloedits1949 lmao u violated that Nintendo dummy🤣💀ur right tho look at how kingdom heart runs on tha switch😬ps2 betta
ive been waiting for the new version thanks
I love how by the end of him playing kill zone he’s talking crap lol 😂 “You thought you were gonna get me”-Mystic
Keep up the great vids 👍
This is one of your most interesting series by far, I always look forward to the new ones! It's wild the amount of people who keep playing these older systems and not embracing new tech as much yet
I mean new systems can be expensive and the average person doesn't have enough free time to play every game they may want to play, so it doesn't really make sense to buy a new system with more new games that you won't have time to play. Something new coming out doesn't mean you have to buy it, it's not really "wild" to want to use stuff you already have first.
@@BelieveThePanda I really don't see how people doing normal things that make sense is wild.
@@mydogeatspuke it's not like the ps vita is the ps4 tho, I understand ps4 when not embracing the newer tech. But the ps vita is ancient lmao
I always love these videos
Basically you and Food4Dogs are the reason I have a PS Vita. I never thought I would be earning trophies on go. 😆
@@fatboy6441 yeah, she’s awesome. It was so cool when the official XBOX account commented on her video when she bought the XSS. ❤️
Love the shirt man!
Trying to get the plat in Sound Shapes on Vita and the death mode levels are owning me.
Don't know if anyone's mentioned this but Dragon's Crown by Vanillaware is crossplay PS3/PS4/Vita (for next time).
The Ultimate ps channel ain’t nobody else testing this but mystic
they need to bring back a handheld console truly ide love that so much and especially with shareplay just stream what’s happening on your ps5 that would be so sick to have a new ps portable and be able to play games that the ps5 can run or just use the ps5 itself it would be awesome
Amazing video
Just got a PS Vita, really excited to try it out!
I love the ps vita. I say this all the time but this had so much potential and despite the fact that support was dropped so early on, people still love the vita.
If only they’d add PS5 Remote Play to Vita/PSTV it would be great. I only use my PSTV for remote playing my PS4 in a garden room over Ethernet.
Wow I’ve never seen a blue vita like that. It looks amazing!
I think a lot of these games are only gonna happen if you plan it with friends or post on a forum to set up a game or something. I'm not much of an online player anyway, though I'd love to try Table Top Racing online as I still enjoy coming back to that game.
If Sony is only doing PSP games on PS Plus I wonder if they are planning a successor to the Vita?
@@doctorsilva1345 Someone is salty to Sony portables like a Nintendo switch fanboy hahaha
ua-cam.com/video/OOuAqA67hVo/v-deo.html
Hell yeah another Vita online video sick
Helldivers is still quite strong, i recently got the plat and helping a friend get it too. Your game was ‘running slow’ as you are in snow, it slows your walk, any other surface and it runs fine haha
3 key things could’ve prolonged the Vita’s survival
• Replace rear touchpad, cameras, maybe even touchscreen with L2/R2 and clickable joysticks.
• Use cheaper, normal memory cards.
• An actually good Call of Duty game that’s a full experience including zombies (seriously. Blops Declassified is shitty yet still attracts plenty of new players a decade later. Imagine if it was a great game.)
Those are good ideas.
I always miss having a L2 & R2 on my vita and psp.
I FUKIN LOVE U MYSTIC
He uploads this...... As I'm sitting here playing Super Stardust Delta. Reason no one is playing BL2 is because it runs like dokie butter
I recently got my original PSP up and running and bought some used games and it’s a lit of fun
Still a vita player, did platinum Killzone Mercenary which has many multiplayer trophies. There were quite a few people still playing in the lobbies
Mystic, we love you. Best Playstation channel around. Now get Colin to bring you on Sacred Symbols+!
I loved the vita so much! I’d buy all the big titles, even some of the lesser known games when the vita stopped getting big titles
Can You Try Unit 13 Next Time Please? It’s Great In Co-oP and I’m pretty sure the servers are still up.
Just got my PS Vita in February, and I'm so happy seeing all the support for this thing man! It's awesome, thanks again for all the Vita content!
Check out PS Vita at 2am on youtube. Lots of content and love there.
I bought a 360 game sealed a year or so ago and it still had that new smell so honestly kind of surprised SFxTekken didn’t have that new smell anymore. Must have been a bad seal
Surprised to see you haven't tried Resistance Burning Skies, given it being an exclusive and the last online working resistance game
I got into the Vita almost 2 years ago specifically to play Persona 4 Golden. Ended up being so impressed with the system that, over the ensuing two years, I bought a few backup Vitas, some more memory cards, & a ton of games. I had a kid when the Vita first came out so no time to game & no extra money lol. Now I’m making up for lost time.
The Vita is worth it for P4G alone imho, but there are a ton of other games I play, too. Still play about once a week, unless I’m into a long game like Persona, Metal Gear, etc where I’ll play for weeks at a time & completely ignore my other systems- including my PS5 & XBX. Crazy how current-gen the Vita still feels.
I play just to speedrun Killzone, I found strats that cut 10 minutes of current world record. Our speedruning community has like 3 people. I have unofficial WR, about to record it soon.
Hey Mystic I still play borderlands 2 on the PS Vita
Ever once in awhile do play online with fans of the of your show? Also I have tried Kill Zone online for the Vita but can't never find anyone to play online with.
The vita still looks very good!
The vita so underrated it’s like ah mini ps3 on the go!
cant believe its been 10 years since vita came out. Crazy bro. I got vita day one. Still pissed it didnt take off further. F's sake. Also been with you since near day 1 or at least since vita came out early days at 10-20ksubs or less. I always envisioned sony turning vita into a true game tablet gamepad like the wiiU with a bigger version and tailored to using with the ps4. I always thought vita tv would have been better if they did some things different and it would have succeeded for sure in the psp days. I remember as a kid thinking i want to let sony know of my psp console to tv idea. Since they already sold movies back then seperately on disc as well for psp. Smh. God i hope they make another. Like a legacy console and beef it up and maybe it could also play indie games from psn or up to ps2 and then remote play everything else. Or just water down heavily all the games, i honeslty wouldnt mind a 720p call of duty off ps5, in the palm of my hand. Vita was 544p and looked great, even that would suffice!!
Console that has so much nostalgia the nights playing fifa 15 and call of duty u will be missed I had to get rid of mine cause the charger broke and I upgraded to the switch
Mystic you are something else what type of jam do you eat ivy your delivery agents behind
Playing Duke Nukem 3D: Megatron Edition lately on my Vita. Want to finish the game before i play the 20th Anniversary edition soon or later.
Plus want to play and finish some Vita games in my collection. Like Killzone, Uncharted, Unit-13 and the free digital game Need for Speed: Most Wanted.
Just a heads up! When you were playing SFxT, I think the search filter for same system was on, might be why you couldn’t find anyone.
Still occasionally play on Vita but it's 10 years old now and its battery is dying on me. I need to get a replacement fast.
Also Resistance: Burning Skies MP should also still be up and running. Last Resistance game out there you can still play online.
I bought Black Ops Declassified on release and I'm very confused to see the multiplayer working because I could have sworn it no longer worked. Several months after release there was a bug that made it impossible to enter matchmaking and then the developers announced they were stopping support for the game before fixing it. Anyone else remember that? I'm pretty sure I sold the game after that happened. Glad to see it's working all these years later.
Was just playing ridge racer last week... I didn't try to go online knowing servers would probably be empty... you should've tweeted that you're about to do this or something
Nice to see PS Vita action!
genuinely love this channel so much for its approach to playstation and just games in general. you can feel the passion in every video and its nice to know someone like you is preserving these sorts of things, or at least making records of them. been watching for a few years, thanks for the consistently fantastic content, can't thank you enough for the hours you pour into this channel. hope you're doing well and have been having a happy and healthy year :)
Who's Ryan Little? I always see his name when the music pops up
@@armandomorales0921 the person who made the music that Mystic plays in the background of the videos. Whenever a new track starts, the credit for it is posted in the bottom corner of the video.
