How PS VITA Might still SUCCEED

[@SenelsChannel]

Vita sold terribly here in the US and it's Sony's own fault for having it at a very high price at launch and refusing to drop the price and a very expensive memory card and terrible marketing, those are the main reasons why the Vita failed. Although that aside I love the Vita and the JRPGs that it has

[@erichouston14]

Ludger's Channel it was mainly bc the memory cards that it failed and the lack of games coming to it. 3DS was just pushing games one after the other and getting a sd card for it was so easy

[@clementlau7505]

Also the vita had bad advertising

[@RoGameReview]

I think the memory card is the reason that actualy killed it

[@edenwanpokyeung]

Baciul Alex No it's not the cards, 8gb is like $20. Don't tell me people refuse to buy a $200 handheld because of that .

[@insanesenpai103]

Ludger's Channel Do you need a JPN Version of the PS Vita to play the Japanese games?

[@MultiAsianDomination]

Bought myself a Vita a couple weeks ago just for Gundam G Generation and other JRPG games. Worth it.

[@Daichi82]

I would buy a Vita to play those games if they were not already for PS4.

[@live-the-truth]

RustAMVs I bought one a few months ago to play indie games and Japanese titles. I totally love it. There's already at least two games I own on my PC that I finally finished on the PS Vita.

[@TheMan8452]

[@Kmg_24]

No. The Vita might still be widely used in Japan, but I can't see it being supported in the west any longer. It's a shame; the Vita is fundamentally a good handheld.

Kmg24 don't know the numbers in the west but the community for the vita seems pretty loyal to it. I hope that community can keep the vita alive here :( I'm from Houston, so I guess you could say vita followers here are out of this world ;)

I'm actually against localization and geolocking. That feels like censorship to me They could simply translate the game to English that is the world language everybody uses

[@IktaSol]

So basically -Make the game configurable (like pc), and play PS4 games -make it backwards compatible -make the PSN store like steam so basically handheld PC #PCMasterRace oh and btw Sony, if you actually want to make "Vita 2", use a standard microSD, or at least if it is proprietary, don't make it awfully expensive

[@HephaestionIsMyHero]

i bought a ps vita today! i already have a 3ds but what's stopping me with the switch is that it's a bit expensive at the moment, and there isn't really anything on it that i want to play enough to spend the money on it. there's also that i don't have a tv, which is also why i don't have a ps4. but i'm hoping the vita will keep me going for now with more games to play~

for those of you that think the vita is dying you are flat out wrong. not only is it an awesome handheld with new games still coming out for it but it's an amazing remote play accessory for the ps4. also multiplayer is free on vita which is nice cause any other device will cost you. sorry but playstation fans arent only CoD and Uncharted players.

[@steamdecknation7908]

I find myself playing my PS Vita more than my 3ds. My 3ds collects dust. The games on the 3ds are repetitive. Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, Fire emblem and Mario again. I am a huge Pokemon fan and that's the only reason why I'm keeping it around. PS Vita has Ys series, gravity rush, jrpgs, walking dead , Digimon series, sword art, disgaea series, atelier series, child of light, Rayman series shooters like killzone, vanillaware games, Final Fantasy, PSP games and PS One games and a whole lot more. In my opinion the only reason 3ds is more popular is because they have a huge kids fan base when compared to PS Vita. Also Sony wanted money fast with no effort when it came to the Vita. The Vita's unpopularity is no one's fault but SONY's

[@gremboni1503]

Sony shot themselves in the foot with the psp line. I bought the original psp and the vita, and Sony killed both of them with any lack of support. they were outright lazy with it. like they just expected it to sell because it's a Sony product and had about 5 first party games, then got mad when we wanted more and they didn't do anything about it. Just like people say Nintendo couldn't survive on first party, ps vita couldn't survive with just 3rd party. I love my ps4 but I wouldn't be bothered to get suckered into another handheld from them.

The PS Vita in my opinion is much better than the 3ds. I mean Persona 4 Golden looked perfect on the Vita's screen. Perhaps people would recognize the console a bit more if Sony ported games like Persona 5 and Ultimate Naruto Ninja Storm 3 & 4 with solid 30 fps

[@paullee3476]

DJGanesh356 vita is better than 3ds overall, but not because of persona4.

[@ICeyCeR3Al]

"vita is better than 3ds overall" that is highly subjective. I think the ps vita in the west is horrible compared to the 3ds

[@yvkiza]

Hi im Ish Well the PS Vita has a brighter screen and higher resolution than the 3ds. 3ds is only 280p and the only reason mainly why it's popular is Pokémon and Mario

[@Psychodegu]

No I think he is right the visuals and specs are way better then the 3ds. So why did the 3ds sell so much more? Was it just that the clam shell was a better design, or was the memory cards to expensive on the vita? I would be super happy if sony made a new handheld, and it got persona 5.

Sony had every opportunity to build up their own line of mascots. They just didn't. They try once and then never do it again. Crash is technically their mascot, but how long has it been since Crash has been visible on Sony platforms? Ages ago, and only recently did they resurrect that. But will they push it again? I wouldn't be surprised if they did not. And so they'll never have the same iconic mascots as Nintendo.

[@sonicblast19]

Yes, yet Nintendo did not blame mobiles for the "death" of dedicated handheld consoles... oh wait, the 3DS succeded, why? -cheap SD cards as main memory -First party games ran and looked great -although it had some shit 3rd party ports, most games ran very well -they cut the price when they had to instead of blaming others for their moronity.

[@jinkazama7587]

The vita can never die at this point, Sony created a gem so the next step is to make some sort of vita 3000 with better specs and some unique feature, etc. A PS4 portable is not a good idea right now due to the massive download file size and mostly unfinished games.

I’m a hand held console gamer. I used to play both the psp and ds. and i have to admit that in terms of portability and comfort, sony’s psp (i got the go) is more comfortable. I’ve been eyeing the psvita for a while but i just bought a switch and a new 3ds xl (replacing my old new 3ds that got busted batteries) The reason i’ve been eyeing the psvita is because it can play psp games and its own game. Plus the fact that it’s havked now...and it’s actually MOOREE portable than the switch. I couldn’t even say that the switch is a ‘portable’ because of the size... so i mostly use it docked..

If this happens, I promise you, the entire unit will literally be revived. Sony will have turned a 'loss' into a complete win with just the power of one game.

[@supermonkeyape007]

vita has been dead for 4 years now. i cant see it coming back. especially in the west. The main selling point of the vita was a console experience on the go....and the switch already does that much better. i think the vita can remote play with ps4, but it needs a wifi connection, so its not as mobile as the switch. The switch uses an ARM architecture which makes software easier to port from x86, in fact its more modern than the architecture in ps4 pro and xbone x. Your dream handheld console' is basically the switch.

[@haruhisuzumiya6650]

SMoj all games were built on a pc the switch actually has the tools to easily export the issue is optimization.

[@supermonkeyape007]

Haruhi Suzumiya Yes, optimisation is what needs to be done. that can include removing and changing assets and adjusting the resolution and lighting engine. people who say " that game cant run on switch" are completely wrong. ANY game can run on the switch. its a matter of changing assets and basically lowering strain on the GPU. that doesnt nessesarily mean making the game look worse on switch, if optimised properly the game can look pretty on switch in its own way. eg: witcher 3 on ps4 looks pretty good despite having a different lighting engine and less shaders. The switch is in a good position because it has support for most modern API like havok, ue4 etc... which makes the process of porting piss easy. something the wii u lacked.

[@weaverquest]

SMoj To be fair the Switch doesn't have any current gen AAA game either. Yes you can argue Nintendo games are AAA quality but what I am obviously talking about demanding current gen games like Red Dead Redemption, Star Wars Battlefront and Assassin's Creed. Also it was the Xbox 360 Witcher 2 that had different lighting and redesigned shaders. Witcher 3 was consistent across all platforms. I think the reason we still haven't seen any third-party AAA game on the Switch is the fact that undocked mode Switch GPU is only 0.5 Teraflops. Even Xbox One with 1.3 Teraflops drops to 720p on demanding games.

Live the truth yea that's strange.... well here in uk almost everyone I know have a 3ds, I never even seen a vita out in the wild or know anyone that has 1....

[@モータ-r6f]

Sony might have lost in sales but u cant deny there are better games on the vita and a bigger variety .

[@siccflip]

Michael Mota no thats entirely false.

[@photoshop89]

I'm really enjoy your videos. Thanks bro!

[@Jenoss]

It's already dead by years.

[@とふこ]

Jenoss a lot of jrpg/novel games are coming to Europe in this year for Vita.

[@Jenoss]

yes. Some game still come to the nes, even if the nes is died 20 years ago. This don't prove anything. The console is dead. The project that are still coming, are coming only because they was started 2+ years ago. Sony drop any possible support to his own child. LET THE DEAD STAY DEAD

[@lapsedilationdrive3943]

stop talking trash about the vita. you dont even know shit on what you are talking about. PSN support is still there. PRODUCTION of vita is still maintain and there are games that are gonna be released on it and still you are saying that the vita is dead? just because sony didnt support it with AAA titles doesnt mean that its dead. the nes is a fcking dead console because not even its CREATORS are manufacturing it nor making games for it. gtfo

[@Jenoss]

Fubuki Destroyer bro I have a vita and is dead as the shit I made one year ago. You can love it as much as you want but this will not change anything at all. I enjoy to see the psn empty every week as the previous one. Enjoy your hundreds of imaginary new releases

[@lapsedilationdrive3943]

you are either a fucking troll or a vita hater. "enjoy your hundreds of imaginary new releases" except that the vita is still getting new games in japan. of course its not AAA titles but still theyre games "i enjoy to see the psn empty every week" yeah at this point,youre obviously trolling. look i do admit that the vita is a failure. sony is a dick for not making AAA games anymore but that doesnt change the fact that it is still getting support from 3rd party studios

[@carloslucky5190]

what game are you playing on your psvita looks like a fighting game?

[@ValorZeroAdvent]

How NIHONGOGAMER Might still FAIL Man oh man I think you should really simmer down with the titles... I think they're doing your content a disservice, by overstating the subject matter in the video.

[@NihongoGamer]

+ValorZeroAdvent Probably true. But if the video is worth watching then it's still worth watching. To me a title is just that, a title.

[@SatoshiMatrix1]

Vita 2 needs three main things: -Standardized storage medium through Micro SD. It's a pain in the ass the Vita uses proprietary memory cards that cap at 64GB and those cost about $130 after importing. -L2 and R2, and L3 and R3 buttons. Touchscreen virtual inputs just aren't anywhere near as good. -As the video stated, better integration with PS4. -As the video stated, out of the box capability to hook up to a TV like the Switch can. The Vita TV is a great device and all, but that should've been possible out of the box. Just cable and bluetooth support for external controller or use the handheld itself. -Backwards compatibility with Vita, hopefully both digitally and physically like the 3DS and DS. -Allow multiple accounts on the same Vita so I can have my Japanese, North American and European PSN all on the same system like I can on PS3 and PS4. Other than that, I love the Vita. Great library of games, games are physical, no moving parts. I want Vita 2.

[@TheSperoman]

are you doing this for views?

[@megascizor8275]

Milo Kreek What do you think

[@Ownedhardtime]

Milo Kreek Are you doing this for likes?

[@TheSperoman]

Norwegian Reaper No that was not my goal xD.

[@shivenxen]

previous title "Nintendo Switch MIGHT still fail" and this video title.. what do u think?

[@TheSperoman]

Ciwen Gao yeah I'm seeing a pattern.

[@SDesinsturmnents1997]

Did you know that the nintendo switch is running off a tegra x1. This is a chip that was released inside the shield tv in may 2015. I think it is very posible for them to make the complete standard ps4 specs in a portable system. The only issues I think theyd run into is battery life

[@TechXSoftware]

I think its dead man. Its really not worth buying, your better off playing the 3Ds, its got pokemon

[@wmcroy3306]

TechXSoftware Lol if Pokemon the only reàson to buy an 3DS then im definitely not buying it, I'll stick to the Vita instead

[@TechXSoftware]

yeah 3D's aint got many games, pokemon, mario kart, mario 3d, are the best ones. The normal DS has way more games.

[@Drstrange3000]

TechXSoftware Lol, Pokemon?? It is a popular game and it was my favorite series, but there are a ton of Vita games I find a lot more enjoyable than Pokemon. The series is stale. I'd rather play Soul Sacrifice, Gravity Rush, Little Big Planet, Killzone Mercenaries, and Dragon's Crown.

[@yardstickbwoy]

TechXSoftware firr emblem? gunvolt? zelda? smash? there are a ton of games on the 3ds

[@haruhisuzumiya6650]

TechXSoftware soon the switch will have a pokemon.

[@mendyc158]

What game you had on the PSVita while showing it?

[@Israeltaco]

No, it can't survive. Not when the switch has the handheld industry by the neck as well as the 3DS.

[@acewing3889]

Sneakyweavile TV did you even watch the video?

[@edster1801]

Rai Jin he didn't

[@paulbarnes755]

Sneakyweavile TV Yep 3ds murdered the vita.

[@821lancevance]

Sneakyweavile TV switch is ass though

[@theaverageordinary2779]

DC Comics are the best lol no

[@agaresjeffer4864]

720p 60fps in a handheld is posible by now right? imean, no going up a 200/250 price point

[@NicknackLP]

No just No, its dead let it go

[@Charlton369]

seems like you didnt watch the whole video :/

[@dianahyman7806]

After reading the comments... - I enjoy how the coffee brewing/drinking is incorporated into these videos. Some of my favorite times with close friends are when we relaxed, sipping coffee and theorizing or getting creative with our ideas. Much like Nihongo Gamer does here. It feels very comfortable and keeps me here for the full video as his insights are interesting. - I really don't quite get how strongly people feel negatively towards the Vita. Sure, there are several things that weren't addressed by Sony when they should've been ($$ memory cards), but I've had a wonderful experience overall and I can see why folks would like to see something similar by Sony succeed this time as the game libraries between 3DS/Switch and the Vita are very different and having both in existence would appeal to the most gamers. - On the second pass of pouring, I like to work my spiral from the outside in, keeping the strength of the brew consistent 😉

[@nocturnalblack8462]

what is the game on your vita in the video?

[@retrogamerdad7740]

I purchased the Nintendo Switch about a month ago ,but I still play my Playstation Vita. with a library of over 1400 games you can't go wrong and the games are awesome. it's such a shame they stopped supporting it on the states. I would love to see indie development groups continue to make games for it.

[@rpelletier2771]

Is it true that handheld gaming is a bigger in Japan than in North America?

[@poolsidconvo]

Background music name?

[@redstain6286]

I hope if they are going a to make a new vita? I hope the new game for the vita 2.0 can be played on the psvita 3.65. Right?

[@OlsunEdits]

Do you have a script before doing this? Or just you go straight in and talk? Oh btw just a personal question. Are your videos very popular with the Japanese mas? Or is the most of viewers outside from Japan like me? Is English content trending in Japan?

[@xb17]

quality settings are generally done in software. they dont often have customization on consoles because they know the exact specs everyone will get and it's a lot of work to make these settings, esp you would ideally want your game to be totally playable in the lowest setting, but this isnt always the case. also portable machines generally dont have desktop hardware, the switch uses an ARM, it's what cellphones and 3ds use, unlike the ps4/xbox which have normal desktop hardware. the cpu port is pretty painless tho. you just compile to arm you can mostly do that without any issue, but on the gpu side it's very diferent right now, this is why most notebooks, even with desktop cpu, have a crappy "mobile" gpu, and why the high end gaming laptops are so expensive. mobile hardware is usually a generation behind, we now have tesselation shaders on mobile but we still dont have compute shaders for stuff like cuda, vulkan, or whatever. if your game uses any of these the port becomes really really painful, you cant just turn it off, and that is just one extension, there is 1000's of extensions and you have to code cpu fallbacks for each one you use that wont be on mobile, most game engines dont do this gracefully even. it would be easy to make low poly low res models, but that is not going to save you much. an easy example, if a ps4 game uses gpu physics you would then have to remake the physics engine and try to butcher it enough so it would run on lower specs cpus, or if your game world doesnt fit on mobile vram you will have to recode a lot of logic... it's a bit easier than previous gens, sure, but it's still a ton of work, you may have to do the game twice basically. and this will not stop, you will never have the latests hardware in a tiny format. nintendo has a nice bet on switch but it has lower performance than the ps4 and pretty bad battery life. you just cant have it all =P

[@InfiritCaress]

I've watched a bit of your stuff here and there, but this video has convinced me to sub.

[@WhiteJarrah]

The PlayStation Vita has two way of competing with the Switch already - PS4 Remote Play and a hacked PSTV. If you have a PSTV, you can now use the PSVimgTools whitelist hack and use it to load any Vita game on the PSTV. And other than Nintendo exclusives, all the games on Switch are either already released on PS3 or PS4 or are coming to PS4. If you want to play those games on the go, just use the PS4 Remote Play. So long as you have a good high speed WiFi connection, you're in business.

[@ferofax]

Those adjustable settings sound like a cool idea, but you don't really need to rely on hardware for that. Those settings rely on *the game engine*, where the problem is that most games use their own game engines, and it is up to the developers to either tweak that, or enable them in-game to allow players to tweak it themselves. A perfect example is two of Capcom's games on the 3DS - Street Fighter IV 3D, and MH3U, both of which use their Mobile MT Framework game engine. Granted the only option you can change is whether to turn stereoscopic 3D on or off, but this one setting has a considerable impact on game performance. Turning them off allowed the game to run smoother. Not sure if any of these games hit 60fps, but I'm pretty sure they go well above 40fps at the very least. And then we go back to the developers - is it worth their time to include these settings into the game? Or would it be better for them to just tweak it themselves and call it a day? Effort is good and all, but not all devs have enough time nor the will to put in more effort for these little things. Everybody works on a deadline, and that's just a fact of corporate businesses. Indies might be able to get away with it, but devs owned by corporations? I don't think so.

[@TheRealDustinNunn]

I highly recommend the PS Vita and the PS TV/PS Vita TV. The PS Vita and the PS TV/PS Vita TV come in handy if you want to download PSP games on to them. If you want to download and play your PSP games on the Vita and the PS TV/PS Vita TV, then there is no need to get a PSP 1000, PSP 2000, PSP 3000 or a PSP Go. Plus, there is no need for friend codes and you can play online for free on the PS Vita and the PS TV/PS Vita TV.

[@paintedfoxes9889]

does the fan clean it out or keep it cool? I love this video format. reminds me of when im talking games over coffee at a cafe with friends.

[@eXtremeAzureProductions]

Hey man! I really like your style of videos (who else makes coffee while talking about games? Lol) One thing that really stands out to me is the background music you use. Where do you get it from?

[@unlazinessboyo]

Have you mod your Vita with 400gb sd card to make it god mode?

[@sukiaki96]

For a Vita2 success there are a couple things need to happen in addition to what the vita has currently. - Backwards compatibility with vita cards - at least 720p at 60fps gameplay - killer exclusive games or a "Zelda BOTW" equivalent - rebranding of what a portable is for the Sony consumer. It can be a stand alone console or a portable ps4 at lower visual quality. Better remote play or a different way of going about it. Such as D/L local copies of games on Vita and connect to ps4 via a dock for ps4. Unlock vita for portable and redock for play and transfer of save to ps4.

[@MitchGurowitz]

Good video, I agree with many of your points. It frustrates me to read comments saying that a platform that sees many monthly releases internationally, that it's over and done. When companies in the USA like Limited Run release 1-3 vita Games a month, it's difficult to think of the system as dead. But I'll freely admit that the Switch feels like I'm playing a Vita 2! If Nintendo can guarantee a great physical release for the system every month, it will flourish even without major 3rd party development.

[@yamabushi_nate7825]

I'd like to see more videos of you traveling around on the bike.
