Yes this is why I bought a vita to play mobile cell phone games and jrpg that really take advantage of the hardware.I hope my battery doesn't melt from running these types of games.Sony was so nice to drop support to give other devs a chance at the vita.This is exactly how I imagined vita to be when I purchased it kudos to Sony I'm so glad it's not a pocket ps3 Anymore, since mobile cellphone quality is just where it's at right now for mobile gaming

Looks good and all, but we're likely not gonna see this released in the west, considering the original wasn't.

Wonderful. I haven't powered up my Vita in seven months but now after hearing this news I'll just have to continue not playing it. As soon as third party has nothing left that's cheap to produce the Vita will be put to rest.

I love how devs port mobile games and multiply the price by five. I love paying extra money to play the same game on my Vita rather than on my phone or tablet for a fraction of the price.

This only exists so that they can get fans ready for SaGa Scarlet Graces. Jeeze. Also, Square Enix has been very good with price parity for their mobile ports on Vita so far.

Apollosupreme3054d ago (Edited 3054d ago )

That's one company and its because they defy mobile prices and charge whatever. How many Vita games have we seen that were 60-80% cheaper to just buy on your phone? I mean you can even play them with a DS3 or DS4 on your phone if you need real buttons.

The evolution and widespread popularity if the smart phone and then later the tablet has led to the demise of the PS Vita. They kept the price way too high to entice a large volume of gamers to buy in. Nintendo on the other hand changed their price on the 3DS and it turned the tide for them.

The only reason I keep my Vita is for PS1 games and PSP games and Vita games that are a couple years old or older.

Rating Each of the Vita's Localization Studios

VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "What I aim to examine in this article is the output of each of the major localization companies, in terms of what they released, what they chose not to release (including when they localized titles for other platforms but skipped the Vita version), as well as some brief commentary on the quality of their translations, before providing an overall rating on their support (outstanding -> amazing – > good -> solid -> poor).

A large part of the reason I love Vita so much is thanks to its brilliant selection of Japanese games and that’s really what I want to celebrate here, but also lament some of the missed opportunities we had along the way."

What do you need to know about SaGa?

It is a great time for fans of Square Enix’s SaGa series! Romancing SaGa 2 was ported to multiple platforms and released worldwide. SaGa: Scarlet Grace was the first new entry in the series in over 11 years when it was released on the PlayStation Vita in Japan in 2016. Basically, it feels like it is experiencing a renaissance. Which means it is a good time to review what makes it so special.
