10 Hidden Gems For The PS Vita

  • The PlayStation Vita, Sony's handheld follow-up to the super-successful PSP, is a console that was absolutely bursting with potential. Two analogue sticks, a multi-touch, capacitive OLED screen, a rear touch pad, and lots of other nifty features all seemed to put Sony in a great position to take on the might of Nintendo and their recently-released 3DS. Alas, it was not to be, and despite a passionate fan-base, the Vita was seen as a commercial failure which Sony dropped like an especially hot potato once the success of the Nintendo Switch assured its demise. It was really good, though, and with a little more support, it could have been an all-time great, with triumphs like Gravity Rush and Uncharted: Golden Abyss showing off what a dedicated developer could do with the power, screen quality, and high-tech gimmickry offered by the ill-fated handheld. Forget about games of that stature, though, as we're looking for titles that you might not know about. That's right, we're digging for gems again, and the pickings are pretty slim down here in the Vita mines. Still, hopefully you'll see something that'll get your rear touch-pad fingers tapping again. Here are 10 Hidden Gems for the PS Vita

    Great list! I would personally add IA/VT colorful, Puyo Puyo Tetris and Catherine: Full Body, but the problem is that they are region locked in Japan and I am not sure if that is allowed. I would add though Muramasa: Rebirth and Mary Skelter - they are highly underrated games that deserve more praise.
    Vita doesn't lack for games, but you really have to look everywhere to find the finest of Vita's games. With the community's support at it's best now, it would be exciting to look at what Vita could have been many years ago. You may not buy it, but you will certainly be interested in at least looking at it's rise beyond the grave!

    • @lnsflare1
      @lnsflare1 Місяць тому

      Minor correction: they aren't region locked (unable to be played on consoles made outside of that region), they just weren't officially ported to the West, which is technically different.

      Not only Sony, but consumers as well. Most of the people raving about the Vita today never got one at launch and supported it. Instead, they hopped on the bandwagon after people found out how to mod it.

    • @lnsflare1
      @lnsflare1 Місяць тому

      ​@@lesterbronson2385 You can't really blame consumers for not buying something that Sony barely marketed in the West.
      Even at the height of Vita's lifespan, people in its core demographic were asking me what the heck I was playing when I brought it out while on lunch at work or on line at PAX or ComicCon. Not to mention all the people who still think that the Vita has barely any games when its library is more or less even to the 3DS' in terms of both size and quality (it has less exclusives, but it makes up the difference by having way more ports of games that could only played portably on the Vita until the Switch or the Steam Deck and its analogues came out years later, with a lot less shovelware because the Vita didn't have the playerbase needed to make porting shovelware profitable on it) because Sony didn't advertise that.

    I probably could've put a lot more time and money into my Vita, if only their proprietary memory cards weren't so prone to failure. They could've just used SD cards like everyone else, but they just had to be different.

      Nowadays you can very easily mod your Vita, and then you can buy a "SD2Vita" adapter for like 3 bucks, which then lets you use normal micro SD cards.

    One for me was The Caligula Effect. While it was basically budget Persona and quite janky, it had a charm of its own. At least we have the Overdose release which cleaned up some of the jank.

    Comparing Reverie to Earthbound is fair, but it’s clearly more of a Star tropics homage. Star Tropics is lesser known, but just as good and I highly recommend it to anyone who can, say, dump their legitimately owned copy onto their vita.

    I'm a big fan of Persona 4 Golden, one of my favorite games. Now, that game isn't a hidden gem because it's literally the best selling Vita game. But there are some more clone-y like games to it on the Vita. Tokyo Xanadu and Lost Dimension. If you're curious, check it out. Even those without a Vita can get in on the fun because there are updated versions on the PS4
