Just for the people thinking of buying a PSVITA this year, it has a tremendous Modding Homebrew scene, they've ported several GTA games, bully, Cuphead, Mario kart, Mario 64, Zelda, Max Payne, Celeste and several other games... yes these are native ports not emulation, and there's more coming in the future such as Dead Cells, Hades ETC.

[@MrCumstein]

The widescreen Mario64 port is a lovely thing. Especially on the OLED.

[@edc7905]

At the time of vita's release and going through like, 2015 or so, Sony actually did really encourage developers to put games on both PS4 and Vita and I think offered some assistance to do so to smaller developers - it's why the Vita became a great place for indie ports.

[@TheLastLineLive]

Yeah, I think after Freedom Wars, Sony pulled out of developing their own games, but wanted it to be a bridge/extension device to the PS4 for stuff like indies as well as remote play.

[@NueThunderKing]

Sadly they did not follow so we have a stunted console.

[@edc7905]

@@TheLastLineLive it was that or maybe Resistance: Burning Skies. They stopped wanting to put their own money in AAA games for it. They had an exec in charge of indie development that kinda really went to bat for Vita and got those indies ported

The vita is still one of my all time favorite handhelds especially when you mod it. Full psp built in as well as all the homebrew and emulation that can be done. Ill never get rid of my oled even with the proprietary charging and data port

[@justintantiongloc6987]

The hardware quality (for the time), the Vita library, the compatibility with the PSP library, the ability to play PSOne Classics on it, and the synergies with the Playstation TV and PS3 to essentially facilitate a "Switch-like" experience for a lot of games before the Switch was even a thing, will forever make the Vita one of the best consoles of all time, and no one will ever be able to tell me otherwise.

[@MiamiSunrise]

Well said

[@BlueisNotaWarmColour]

Not to mention the modding/homebrew scene is exceptional, if you're into that kinda thing.

[@MetalJesusRocks]

Recording Vita gameplay footage is such a pain! I typically like to use the PlayStation TV (which is really just a Vita with HDMI output), but so many popular games don't support it, which is incredibly annoying. It reminded me I really need to look into installing custom firmware on mine to get around that issue. Have you modded a PlayStation TV before?!

[@joncleary8896]

Yes. It's easy. I believe in you Metal Jesus. You can do it!!

[@crabbuckets7506]

I had two modded psp's in college. Both stolen out of my bag 🤣 figured I was just not meant to own one.

[@TheDrkmassacre]

I modded my pstv forgot it was modded and updated it 🤣

[@robertpatterson1037]

I’ve modded both my Vita and PlayStation tv. The Pstv solely to get round that problem. Once modded (I think it’s called the white list) is a must to play those games.

[@tomrwills]

@@robertpatterson1037 Are there games playable on the PSTV after whitelisting that don't get stuck without the touch screen or back touch pad? What would good ones be?

The most underrated console ever. I have 37 games myself, with Resident Evil Revelations 2 being the rarest of them.

Thank you so much for this video. There is so much more that can be gone over with this wonderful gem of a handheld. Keep up the great work sir.

[@MetalJesusRocks]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@MatthewOceanXVX]

Long live the Vita!!! Long live the Vita!!! Tearaway is vastly underrated. I also picked the deluxe version of Shantae at GameStop from the shelf a couple years ago! It was like less than $20. I’m a Sony guy but I don’t know if I can forgive them for how they crapped on the Vita and let it die, it’s incredibly sad. So many games were planned, even a Bioshock game. It cold have sold like crazy if Sony really pushed it, and not just marketed it as a way to do remote play.

[@ReVita.]

Really wish we had gotten that BioShock game along with a GTA game!

[@VentilatorGaming]

@@ReVita. There wasn't any money in VITA for major third parties. Didn't help that Sony abandoned VITA early on.

[@ThatSavoieDude]

The music in that game is so infectious

[@JampackSam]

Killzone Mercenary remains one of the best FPS games I've ever played on a handheld. Such a fun experience with incredible multiplayer. Genuinely one of the best experiences for the time.

[@homerthompson416]

Muramasa Rebirth alone is reason to own a Vita. It's such a colorful game that looks amazing on the old model's OLED screen. Really can't wait to jump into some of the Japanese VNs on the system too. Holding off just a bit longer since I'm currently playing Dragon Quest games in Japanese to work on my reading, but I hope to be reading a bunch of VN on it by the end of this year.

[@belto3149]

You should probably start by something easier to read tbh. Dragon quest uses lots of fancy or uncommon words and the text can sometimes be formulated in a strange way.

[@homerthompson416]

@@belto3149 I have played through the first 3 in Japanese and while the occasionally old style grammar was a bit weird at first it wasn't too bad to pick up on. The games teach me enough new words to be worth sentence mining but not so much that I can't enjoyably play them. Way easier so far than playing stuff like Persona or 龍が如く IMO.

[@stephenfagnano2868]

You and Reggie were the reason to I started collecting for the after watching some of you pick up videos and some of your older Vita videos. I hammered all the GameStops in my area for all of their Vita games when they were just practically giving them away. This system I believe kick off all the “Special Edition” craze of games now because there seems to be one for every game. Japan is lucky cause they got all the cool limited edition systems. You should look into possibly getting some of the Asian/English exclusives out there cause there are some really good and unique games. Keep on rocking MJ

[@learningguitar562]

Fav console ever. Soooo many hours playing Persona 4 Golden, Dragon's Crown, Atelier, Dead Nation etc. Vita will never die. Good on you for showing your collection :)

[@Rangacorn]

Absolutely love seeing people who have embraced the Vita like I have. You have an amazing collection and I cannot wait to see what games you add in the future. I’m currently collecting a full Aus Vita collection which is currently sitting at around 60 titles with unfortunately so many of the more expensive ones still to go

Bumped into your channel a few years ago and that happy accident launched my PS Vita collection habit. Being a little late to the party, I missed out on some of the limited editions, but I have built a physical collection of about 110 games plus a dozen or so digital (I know - SACRILEGE!!). Since I live in the Phoenix area, I used your 'road trip' video as my travel guide to visit the retro game stores in the area. Thanks for keeping retro gaming - and the PS Vita - alive!

One of the most under appreciated handheld/console of all time. Genuinely portable with a stacked library of games. I still play it on the regular

[@VentilatorGaming]

Blame Sony for that. Tiny screen, tiny buttons, no SD Card support, inaccurate rear touch which 99.9% of devs ignored etc. To make it worse. Terrible support from Sony already after september 2013.

[@Matthew7772005]

I bought my Vita Day One. I loved it. Freedom Wars was one of my favorites. I bought the YS Memories of Celcetta special edition. It's my only one for it. Great video.

[@MiamiSunrise]

Due to physical prices for this WONDERFUL handheld, I only go to pick up Vita games one or two at a time, play them and then eventually target something else. I love JRPGs and since many of those tend to be spendy, the prices usually hit me pretty hard pretty fast. Fantastic video highlighting the awesomeness of this handheld. I do hope that on your future trip to Japan you are able to pick up MANY more games for the Vita, especially since I know how passionate you are about it. Thanks MJ!

[@joshkelley8321]

Fantastic collection and video as usual. I think you confused Simpsons road rage with Hit and run tho lol look forward to all your 2022 content !

[@jjresale929]

Great video and information 😊👍🏻 I’m hoping to get one eventually while I’m out at different thrift stores and stuff but I did find a wii with everything for $35 lol

[@bretthansen8166]

Thanks for sharing! I recently sold my Vita collection (147 physical games) as well as my full Atari Jaguar/CD collection. Was able to pay off my brand new car with the $5,200 I received from selling both collections. I loved collecting but didn’t play the systems library that much, only around 10 games often played. I still have both my OLED and Slim vita’s, both modded now, and will definitely be keeping them! I think size wise that the Vita is the perfect size for a handheld system. There are definitely a few phenomenal games that you can’t play anywhere else. 👍🏻

[@nicknelson1975]

I'm happy I collected almost everything I wanted for it the last 2 years. The small cases make it perfect for collecting. You can fit the entire collection on a small shelf.

The Vita turns 10 this month,still have my launch unit,and absolutely love it to this day. Only own 6 physical games: Odin Sphere Dragons Crown Borderlands 2 Gravity Rush Freedom Wars Final Fantasy X

[@theSmoothOne]

Love the video. I think you are missing some of the Warriors games like Warrior's Orochi 1 and 2 and Samurai Warriors 4 and 4-II but overall great collection. Soldner X2 is one of my favorite shooters on this system. Too bad it didn't have online play. That would have been sweet. Would love Dariusburst Chronical Saviours and Drive Girls one day. You also missed 99Vidas, Foul Play and Phantom Breaker Battlegrounds as well just because they are beat em ups

Loving this man! Great to see lots of releases I am totally interested in. The side scrolling are always the best. That Soldner X-2 is totally like the super awesome Einhander on the original PS1. Super perfect game and beyond for it's time. Will definitely look into finding that for sure. Might be difficult to find in Ontario Canada. Not sure why but it also reminded me of Tempest X3. That is some serious shit as well. Could be because I must have been playing the shooters at the same time back in the day as new releases... damnit.... now I feel old! Thank you once again!

[@modestyblaise4167]

I have a real love/hate relationship with the Vita. My OLED Vita is still going strong and I’ve enjoyed it a lot.. 2 or 3 years after launch my joy started to wane. Too many games had performance issues and the output from Sony was starting to dry up. Why should I invest my time and money into it when Sony have turned their backs on it? It was a strange decision that still baffles me today, and I worked for the company in Japan for nearly 5 years. More recently, with the popularity of the Switch, I’ve been able to sell off many of my Vita games and get the better looking and performing Switch versions and have still have quite a bit of money left over. The Vita will always have a special place in my heart but these days I’m playing most Vita games on other platforms. Thanks for the video.

[@54356776]

What's worse is that a modded Vita runs most games with zero issues. Most games just needed a simple patch/update.

[@modestyblaise4167]

@@54356776 Yes, it can certainly help. However, companies tend to favour battery life when it comes handheld games and most issues rely on a CPU/GPU overclock to fix the game.
