technicianonline.com: The gap between portable and console gaming experiences is smaller than ever now that the Nintendo 3DS and PlayStation Vita are on the market. With enhanced processing power, dual analog stick controls and strong support from both first and third-part developers, both the 3DS and Vita are able to stand toe-to-toe with the best the Xbox 360 and PS3 have to offer, with some games in 2012 managing to outshine their console counterparts.
A huge SEGA / Atlus Nintendo Switch eShop sale with over 50 games on sale, including Persona 3 Portable, Persona 4 Golden, and more.
With rumors of a Persona 4 remake allegedly launching soon, it may be time to replay Persona 4 Golden and relive the adventure in Inaba.
4 is my favorite Persona so I’m hyped for a remake. I’ve played Golden a few times and the original a couple times so I’m ready for the remake
P4 Golden literally justified the VITA at the time (incredibly slick on that OLED display as well... huge memories for me). P4 on PS2 was awesome (I played it on my BC ps3 at the time) but Golden elevated it, again- that screen and the intimate feel of playing it on a handheld made it feel way less dated.... I love that game. That and Ys memories of Celceta, Killzone and some of the other incredible games made the VITA intensely memorable even if mostly due to the name (same fate as the Wii U) nobody knew what it was initially and it went by the wayside (idiots blame the cards but literally nobody but a few loud people on forums cared about the cards, mostly because they were hoping to pirate, one small cheap card held tons of games- it was never a problem)
Damn straight it did, I bought it on a whim when I was in a Gamestop one day and saw it on sale. I played the shit outta that game. Another one was Zero escape: Virtues Last Reward. If it was just for those 2 games, the console was worth it.
Sammy: "It’s sad that PlayStation has moved on from some of these iconic brands, but it would be worse watching them rot. At least with this licensing strategy, there’s a legitimate opportunity for more great franchises to get a second chance. And if they sell really well, there’s always the chance Sony may decide to bring them back."
Love this idea. Let other companies release reboots of these classics to a wider audience. Everyone wins.
Remaster Puppeteer. It looked great on PS3 but it would be nice to have on PS5 with fast loading and some sort of 4k
I do not know why but portable gaming has always had it's place for my gaming needs. Portable gaming has shined this year because this year showed alot of 3DS and PSVita. But next year it's time for the big brothers to come out and play starting with Wii U! CANNOT WAIT!
Vita is Life
I always prefered playing portable than home consoles... even inside my house. Portables were always my first choice. Maybe because in my childhood I always played GameBoy Pocket!! God I miss those times... Plying Pokemon Blue all the time eheh :) who's with me??
The only people who think portal gaming is dead are the people who never understood it in the first place.
The year isn't over yet! Neo Geo X Gold is coming soon as well! :D
I have no problem with the 3DS, in fact I've spent probably over $400 on the thing. And it was worth the exclusives. But I can honestly say I haven't used it for more than 8-10 hours, if that.
My Vita, on the other hand... I already had a backlog of about 4 games. Then Plus hit me upside the head. There isn't enough time in the day for me to finish Assassin's Creed: Liberation, Most Wanted, Ragnarok Odyssey, Gravity Rush, Tales From Space: Mutant Blobs Attack, etc.
Nintendo's 3D is cool, I'll admit that. But whenever I turn my Vita on for a game I can't help thinking "damn, this screen is so sexy! I wonder what's new on Netflix..." The thing's too damn good for me to finish it all and there are new games coming out all the time! Even the music is app is incredibly smooth and user friendly.
And this is all without even owning a PS3! The thing's gonna be here in a couple of days and then I have remote play and God of War to mess around with, Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale using both Vita and PS3 as controllers, and a new back catalog of games along with all those for Vita, about 10 for 360, and the 3 games I have for my 3DS.
I will most like pick up Smash Bros. for 3DS and I love Nintendo, you won't find me bashing them. But people, stop whining, pull yourself together, save up that extra money for a 32gb card, and go get yourself a Vita asap!
Best console decision I have EVER made. (Portable or otherwise).
