Why You SHOULD Buy a PsVita In 2024

[@Cyko..]

Every year people make the video "Should you buy a PS Vita in 20XX?" The answer is always yes.

[@AchintyaEdits]

its best handheld ever

[@Chill671e-u2t]

😂😂 exactly

[@PirateKingBuggy]

Had one last year, jailbroke it and put in a 256gb sd card, i didn't leave my house for the whole of December, so most definitely worth it❤

[@dailystats6454]

Can you play android games on it? Is there any emulator? Cause if i buy it then i play all best games.. ill probably be bored of it

[@TheSavageThanos]

​@dailystats6454 Can emulate ps1 and anything before it pretty good. Whole psp and vita catalog. Stream from ps4. Movies. Some android game ports are on there, ive never explored those though. Can run retroarch.

[@home9dog2blue199]

Sony's "handheld" line needs to be dedicated to backwards compatibility or just releasing "collections" of EVERY past gen's greatest hits from the ps2 era. Just "demake" a ton of games that released on ps2 (or UP the resolution a bit. SOME ppl only care about THE GAMS ITSELF BEING ENJOYABLE. Not just "graphics" like some of yall FORCE yourselves to pretend to care about 😂) and it will be a guaranteed smash hit

Afaik, there are no good DS and 3DS emulators for the Vita, but for game boy, game boy advance, game boy colour, NES, SNES, N64 - it's really fun to play those games; very nostalgic to play the original game boy games. :) PS1, PSP and PS Vita games also play without issues.

If you want to play on the Tv, yea. PS3s are still amazing. But if you want a handheld, PSVita may be what you're looking for. All depends on what kind of device you want I guess.

[@Electro096]

It's a damn Shame a handheld system i this case was such a flop that the only real reason olwn this thing these days is to have modded one with a load of pirated games. The reason it failed is it got released at the wrong time and second the Consumers caused the a huge hack back in 2011 on the PS3 causing Sony to go with the memory cards that they did with Vita. If you took a look at the PSP software sales you'd noticed there were quiet a bit of psp games that got ported to the PS2 because people just made the PSP hacked garbage and developers weren't making enough money to make it worthwhile. So it basically comes down to stop hacking their shit and reporting it on the internet making it a mainstreme thing. if ur going jail brake it keep it to urself.
