La-Mulana EX on the Vita is a remake of a previous version a few years back on the Nintendo Wii which itself was a re-work of the original a decade ago. Starting off armed with nothing more than a whip, our mini 8-bit-ish hero sets off in towards the Metroidvania styled ruins in order to find his missing father.
This is the type of game that I absolutely love to play. There is no hand holding. There are no tutorials. The game starts off and so does your adventure! Designed in a retro style, players will find themselves searching back and forth in order to find out where to go. While generally there is one set path that players will actually find themselves on, there were several instances in which deciding to take another direction, a different ladder, to go up instead of down, lead me to the same location. Rarely will a Metroidvania actually feel like it does this as it generally prefers that its players find the specific item to travel down a specific path.
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "Thanks to the timing of the Vita’s release and its relative power compared to the home consoles at the time (PS3 & Xbox 360), it saw the benefit of a number of these late ports which have remained the ‘definitive’ versions to this day. It’s these games that I’m aiming to look at in this article – titles that are best on Vita by virtue of extra bells and whistles, tweaked controls, and content, or in some cases just a general feeling that Sony’s portable hardware is the most enjoyable way to play."
"When PlayStation Vita released in 2012, expectations were high as Sony's previous handheld (PSP) was quite successful even if it could never quite match with Nintendo's handheld juggernauts." - Tyler Hall from Video Chums
It’s not stranded until 2019, if people really wanted to get some great experiences out the way then they’d buy it. But there are so many stubborn people that made their mind up that won’t happen.
You can go on eBay, OfferUp it any social market place and get one from 70-120 WITH memory card and the games are dirt cheap. But I bet people feel like buying their 5th 3DS for 200 plus because of its color is better then checking out great games.
I guess it’s not always about the games
I could just never find one after I got a stable income, could find games all over the place though
Quite a few of the games aren't dirt cheap. Guess it depends on what you like though. The Japanese anime games tend to hold their value quite well.
One can get digital games pretty cheap a lot of the time, and if they were smart, they'd have added all those vita games on PS+ over the years, and have quite an impressive backlog when they get their system.
