[@ViperKillerWannabe]

Counterpoint to the smartphone thing: It's kind of hard to beat using an actual game console for your emulation. Yes smartphones are VERY good at it, but a lot of the controllers for smartphones are just wonky. I haven't found a decent one that fits with my Note 20 yet. They're all too small.

[@issackaiser]

This, this is my main reason that I still carry handheld today. Yes phones can play games really well and that’s not even counting gaming phones. But nothing beat having a physical button that you’ll eventually memorize by feels over tapping the same flat spots and missing the button by an inch. Plus even if we have a decent controller, you’d have to carry it around somehow or leave it at home. Might as well carry a whole console and save the phone battery.

[@dawserdoos]

I knoww!! Why is is so hard to build a controller for mobile!?

[@SMGJohn]

Anything USB-C works great but I find that there is still input lag in the emulators themselves, specially some PSP games stuff like Hatsune Miku which can ruin your experience quite fast. There best controllers for Android and iOS costs like 60 bucks though, which is almost as much as the Vita used but man I am tired of owning 7 different devices just to play games and besides the controller is detachable so I guess its a life investment.

[@Muhluri]

They're also super pricey if you don't live in the US/Europe. It's actually cheaper to buy a Vita than to buy one of those controller things

[@CinderellaCage]

Well, it's true, that that there ain't a lot of cool games, that would get people's attention cause of poor story, bad graphics and probably even gameplay. For those, who have PS VITA but still cannot find games that would interest them, here's my preferences: • Freedom Wars - one of those shooter games, I would definitely recommend! Right now, the online sucks cuz a lot of players abandoned this console. But when they didn't, the online was impressive. In fact, the online matches are so fun, even Counterstrike is just nothing comparing to it. And not only the online. The big and complicated story is also something that would attract lots of gamers. Gameplay is super addicting cause of different and unique mechanics. The interface is also kind of unique, which also can make a player get interested. You can upgrade your weapons, mnufacture them, manufacture functions, medicine, character buffs, etc. Donate resources or use them for upgrades. Saved citizens? Now, you can use them to shorten the time for your upgrades!! Definitely the game, that even PC and Androind/IOS lack! • Puyo Puyo Tetris - probably, you would say "Why Tetris is here? It is not so unique". Well, even though Puyo Puyo Tetris is now on every modern platform, it is still pretty good game for PS VITA!!! The Tetris game won't get a lot of attention. But now with Puyo Puyo Tetris, you have a new mode called Puyo Puyo, from another game franchise called Puyo Puyo, where you clear 4 or more jellybeans and make insane combos! Now you can have more improved versus matches and mix puyo puyo and tetris with 5 new modes: Fusion, Swap, Party, Big bang and traditional Versus. There's still working online, however, since a lot of players abandoned PS VITA, the online now is half dead! And another thing is that the game is ONLY on Japanese PSN, which doesn't let most of other international players play. • Uncharted: Golden Abyss - one of those games on PS VITA, which unlocks PS VITA's full potential and has spectacular graphics! • Persona 4 Golden - once it was the best game for PS VITA, now it is also the best game for PC. This game has impressive story, cool gameplay and special music! Definitely recommended game for everyone! But if you don't like bad graphics, I would not recommend it BUT, we have a special plugin to improve its resolution! • Wipeout 2048 - one of other cool graphics on PS VITA. It is incredibly fast racing game with very challenging grand prix and events. Also one of underrated ones... • Tearaway - it's one of the best PS VITA specialties • LittleBigPlanet PS VITA - also one of VITA's and Sony's overall specialties • Rayman Legends - the only game with 100000 players online There are lots of other games that I would love to share, but I am just a lazy ass to write more. And I cannot shorten the sentences cause all I wanted to share is, in my opinion, important. *Off course, I expected more of this console, but even if it failed its mission, there are still nice specialties it has*. I would thank to TheFlow, our legend who still holds PS VITA alive, and, off course, other PS VITA boys, as Silica&Pina, Xerpi, theheroGAC (team OneLUA), cuevavirus, blastrock and other big boys, who revived PS VITA from dead.

Good job saving yourself. "I installed all my PHYSICAL games" yes.. I am sure you did lol

[@kota7789]

I’m just a sucker for the Vita. It’s a great console. Only reason I would recommend it though is just the portability of physical dedicated hardware. I’m one of those people that would much rather do all my gaming on a physical console. Is there better out there? Yes. Of course there is. But it’s performance isn’t the best (comparable to switch performance honestly. It’s not terrible considering the sheer age gap of the two consoles. Nintendo really could have done more) but I mean… for me.. it’s no big deal. It does everything I like and yeah.. it chugs but it’s not to bad for me playing the games I like to play. The feel of it for me is way more comfortable than a switch and the portability ultimately trumps it as well. It fits in my pocket. I can just pause what I’m doing right then and boot right back to it at a letter time. 2000 models battery is pretty dang good. Beats out my oled Switch. And for me.. I mostly wanna play older familiar games when I’m out and about. Or just try new styles of game’s I normally wouldn’t play. For me… best console for what I need. The touch stuff is dumb though. Cool for the time.. Definitely didn’t age well. Screw Sony for dropping support for the vita and stating they are giving up the hand held game. That had so much potential.

[@Corthmic]

A modded Vita might just be one of my favorite consoles to use, Sony killed the thing off too early. Unrelated tip for anyone trying to find one at a decent price, buy from a Japanese seller. I snagged a brand new Cosmic Red OLED Vita for $180. Only downside is that the Vita menus have Japanese controls, so O is select and X is back but in US or EUR games it'll switch them around.

[@streetz1803]

I bought a black one with red back from Japan. And Remapped the 0 & x button in system settings :)

[@Corthmic]

@@streetz1803 I wouldn't advise remapping them that way, it remaps them globally which can cause issues with those buttons in some applications.

[@streetz1803]

@@Corthmic I haven't had any issues

[@Corthmic]

@@streetz1803 Like I said, it only does it with some applications. I specifically remember when I did it O became the confirm button when I played the Ratchet and Clank collection. I just decided to leave the default bindings on after that, O being confirm and X being back at the home screen doesn't bother me since I mainly select apps with the touchscreen anyway.

PS Vita is my go to over my oled switch. I use my old note10+ with a Razer Kishi controller. Everything from retro games to AAA games.

[@timsuttonlovinlife-]

I got one and modded it straight away, it’s awesome 👏 purely because I can’t stand touch screen controls on my games, the games get shrunk down to a tiny screen to accommodate the on screen controls either side or they sit over the actual game your playing so you then block the view with your fingers!! I CANT STAND IT 😖 The PS Vita is the best solution to all my hatred and the best bonus of all is it can run GTA San Andreas perfectly and BULLY is literally just around the corner waiting to drop too ❤️👍

@@dainiergarcia5076 it’s the whole game pal + a few extra missions I think? it’s actually been ported across to the Vita from the Android mobile version so in the game settings you can max out all the graphics options and the Vita handles it no problem at all 👍 now programmers are doing stuff like porting Android to Vita things are going to get crazy good gaming wise and we will see a lot more ‘newer’ games coming out for mobile on our Vitas ❤️

Having and playing both the OG PSP and the vita shouldn’t be an argument. It’s a fact that they are both way ahead of their times thus why people didn’t buy nor appreciate those products. Imagine if the vita released the same time the Nintendo switch did…

I had vita when it was not moded used it and sold it. And now bought it again. Because of the mod scene. Yes I can play all the games which it can on my phone. But than I don't have physical controls and had to use clamp on. But having a dedicated hand held makes gaming easier. One can buy switch and steam deck etc. But those are expensive compare to this.

[@shaungreer3350]

you can also install a plugin that outputs video via usb, plug it into a computer and connect a duel shock 4, and boom you got a vita switch that at any time you can just disconnect and take on the go.

[@comixof2morrow]

I didn't get the Vita till 2018 and had to buy it from Japan because they were the only ones with brand new ones...well at least at retail value..so I bought the aqua blue Vita. I also lucked out and found a brand new PDP PS Vita folio case(camo),and many other super rare accessories brand new and cheaper than retail. Mine is not modded but I do have a good amount of games. 50 something games.mostly physical games. I just acquired a used Switch for free. Screen is scratched but can't tell while it's on. I put a screen protector on my Vita the moment I unboxed it.
