VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "Just like Artdink, Acquire is a quirky Japanese developer with a history of experimentation and big ideas, but has unfortunately been at the mercy of low budgets throughout the years, leaving gamers with some fantastic titles that suffer from a large amount of jank. Acquire worked on Vita from its launch in Japan through to early 2017, injecting a nice level of variety to the console’s library despite some of the technical shortcomings of its titles, making the company a prime candidate for examination here."
Why didn't the PS Vita get more love again?
Not sure if the Nomad and Express should be on this list. Meaning that while they were portable, they didn't have their own games and instead relied on the same games the console hardware used. Neo Geo pocket, Lynx, Vita... those are dedicated handhelds with their own software library.
If criteria is simply to just allow for handheld gaming then the supaboy should be on there as well.
While that is true, Nomad was an amazing handheld which I greatly enjoyed, and holds a special place in my heart.
I would definitely include it in this list.
I remember connecting it to my tv and playing Vector Man and Comix Zone and I was astounded by the fact that this was a handheld device
The Nomad should have never been made, that big cartridge on the back. Sega was throwing out money. I thought the Lynx was solid. I never knew about the Turbo express though
DS: Hacking a PS Vita has never been so easy.
Why is this news if sony doesnt want it get out of the way and let modders make games for it. There are people still making games for sega dreamcast and genesis if you abandon something dont be a ahole when someone else tries to support it. Thats like some deadbeat dad coming back after 20 years and yelling at the man that raised him thats my son leave him alone lol.
I've avoided CFW because I am afraid of being banned and also was unsure how trophies would work with syncing, and then Sony constantly patches these.
I installed CFW ages ago, spoofed the firmware number, blocked official updates, and even made purchases from PSN after. Sony really doesn't care what you do with hardware they no longer support.
Come to think of, idk if I care about emulation or homebrew anymore on it. I just want to play vita games.
Can confirm, Sony doesn't give a crap lol. As long as you're not hacking trophies, you can legitimately download games and play them online, no problem. I've had mine hacked for years.
They won't see you have trophies on a digital only game you have not purchased, and ban you?
Today Acquire announced that its 2013 game Akiba's Trip 2, known in the west as Akiba's Trip: Undead & Undressed is getting a DLC.
Oh sweet loved this game on Vita and PC. Did NOT expect this all. I'm all for it.
