I was quite excited for this game, thinking finally a decent HD Dragon Ball Z game only to be disappointed by the absence of transformations in it. Why would you take transformations out? Silly silly decision.

MegaRay3828d ago

So no super saiyans? Isnt it enough that it doesnt have local battle mode

Ricegum3828d ago

Yeah, there are super saiyins. Just no in-battle transformations, so you'd have to start the fight in super saiyin and cannot change. Very lame.

A Look Back at Artdink's Games for PlayStation Vita

VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "In 2017 I wrote a series of articles looking at all of the Vita games released by a number of different publishers, but at the time I was already thinking about how interesting it would be to examine the output of individual developers. Sony’s handheld may not have been a sales success in itself, but certain studios managed to make a living by creating titles for it that targeted the right audiences. None demonstrate this better than Artdink, the quirky Japanese company that has increasingly branched out into anime development in recent years."

A Look at All of the Fighting Games Available on Vita

VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "While fully-fledged fighting games on handhelds have achieved varying levels of success in the past, they weren’t really a thing until the PSP. Prior to this there would always be certain concessions to get them running on weaker hardware. Sony’s powerful portable console, however, allowed developers to experiment with new ways of delivering their titles that would sometimes be hugely successful (e.g. Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection), which in turn meant new games were forthcoming throughout the console’s life. This mantra continued onto the Vita, which received ports of a number of high-profile fighting games, from launch through to the present day.

The ever-expanding industry of eSports has somewhat put a damper on handheld fighting games, as the fanbase moves increasingly towards arcade sticks, perfect latency, and other measures that always ensure a fair fight. That doesn’t mean the Vita doesn’t have access to its fair share of fighting games, though – whether you like 3D arena brawlers, party-friendly multiplayer titles, or pixel-perfect technical 2D fighters, you’re well served by the selection that’s available here, especially when including backwards-compatible PSP & PS1 games."

Why can't they do this for the UK as well.

franwex3278d ago

Make an American PSN; I have an European and Japanese one!

Eidolon3277d ago (Edited 3277d ago )

Do you get anything good out of the sales they have on JP/EU store?

franwex3277d ago (Edited 3277d ago )

@Eidolon:

No; but Remember when PSN was down for a few months and we got free games? Well; I got all the games for free :P

I think it is more beneficial for Europeans to get US than vice-versa because we get more sales!

Blastoise3278d ago (Edited 3278d ago )

Everyone on the EU blog asks all the time, but it doesnt seem likely. You can set up a US account on PS4 & PS3 though and play them on your UK account. If you need credit i'd recommend Target as they accept a straight convert in prices through paypal

As for the PSP/Vita games though you're screwed because account switching is a pain in the arse

Caffo013278d ago

amazon.com is good too.. you just need to change the address of your credit card with a fake US one in the card details.

franwex3278d ago

Considering Pier Solar...

Also, why is it more expensive to by Zone of the Enders together than separately?

PygmelionHunter3278d ago

Yeah, I might jump into Pier Solar for that price. Also, been meaning to replay Demon's Souls for a while now.

Dunno about Zone of The Enders, that's just dumb XD

Xof3278d ago

Fair warning: Pier Solar really isn't very good.

Blank3278d ago

Not even six bucks good?? I spent more for crappier games, ill bite anywho though.

Xof3278d ago

Not even $6 bucks good.

Especially when, come on, Suikoden II is on sale too.

franwex3277d ago

I got Suikoden II instead! Thanks for the heads up!

blackblades3278d ago (Edited 3278d ago )

I said the same thing, it's $12 buying them separate cheaper them buying them together in a collection so stupid. You can get the physical for $13 and even less.

jonboi243278d ago

AAAAAAANNNIMMMMEEEEEE!!!!!
