Viva la Vita: "Retro City Rampage developer Brian Provinciano took to Twitter today to sing praises about Sony's indie services, stating that "Indies should definitely jump onto the PS Vita. RCR's sold much more on PSN than XBLA and more on PS Vita than even PS3", and while "Steam's done far better than XBLA too", PSN is still king. He later clarified that this was without including the users who downloaded it via the Instant Game Collection on PlayStation Plus.
Retro City Rampage, a retro themed take on open world games like Grand Theft Auto was released on October 9, 2012 PlayStation Network and Windows, January 2, 2013 for Xbox Live Arcade, and will launch this week for Nintendo's Wiiware service."
VGChartz;s Adam Cartwright: "For a console that can only really be seen as a commercial failure, the PlayStation Vita did extremely well for itself in terms of software – more than 1500 games are available for it and that figure is surprisingly still growing each week, despite the hardware being discontinued earlier this year and despite the rhetoric suggesting it’s only a good machine for indie 2D platformers and niche Japanese RPGs.
Unfortunately certain genres didn't receive any representation at all and act as glaring holes in the Vita’s software library. Some of these just aren’t particularly popular on consoles in general, such as city builders, which have been niche for years. It’s these genres I’m aiming to look at in this article – what they are (including examples of some modern entries in the genres), why they weren't represented on the Vita, as well as some suggestions about what alternatives are available to scratch that itch."
Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "The official end of the WiiWare service may not be until early 2019 but we wanted to give everybody as much of a chance as possible to remember all of the great games that Nintendo’s first every download service brought us. Last week we counted down the first 10 games in our look at the Top 20 WiiWare games ever made, and if you haven’t had the chance yet you can check out those picks right here but now we switch our focus over to the very best that WiiWare has to offer so if you still have a Wii (or a Wii U) kicking around make sure to download these games before they are lost forever."
The hit 8-bit Grand Theft Auto style game is coming to Nintendo's latest platform in a couple of weeks! (Source: http://vblank.com/20170719_...
That's pretty crazy it sold the most on vita because its free on PS+. I gotta admit its a pretty fun game and a nice throwback to the 8bit days:)
Played it on PS3 and Vita. Definitely prefer playing it on Vita.
PS yeah
I didn't like the demo, but it has so much charm. My issue is that it took so long to release here in europe. SCEE are a joke.
Such a great game. I hope this boosts indie support for Vita.
