In retrospect, this was a waste, given the more advanced capabilities of the system! But hey, I like rolling up unsuspecting ducks and schoolgirls. Touch my Katamari was an addiction, as I had racked up over 600 hours in the original Katamari Damacy. Rather than using the console for more new and creative titles, though? I originally picked it up for hits of classic PlayStation nostalgia. The PlayStation Vita launched just a few months before I graduated from college and moved to Japan, so it does evoke some of those more freeing memories. As I mostly play single-player, I found myself liking these games more since they had NPC companions with proper character developments. I also remember the Vita era for the influx of Monster Hunter-inspired titles like Freedom Wars, God Eater, and Toukiden.
#ULTRAMAN PS2 GAMEPLAY PSP#
The Vita having twin sticks helped a lot in improving the controls for many PSP games. It’s also where I got to play the PSP gems I missed before thanks to backward compatibility. JoshĪs Graham mentioned, the PS Vita was a big haven for niche Japanese games.
#ULTRAMAN PS2 GAMEPLAY PORTABLE#
It’s still one of the best-looking portable machines ever designed, in my estimation, and I’ll always be a little sad it’s (commercially) gone now.
#ULTRAMAN PS2 GAMEPLAY SKIN#
The second was applying the Persona 4 Golden skin to my console. Vita means life! To this day my two overriding PS Vita memories are of staying up all night clearing Danganronpa for the first time, eventually having to find someplace to plug the thing in so I could keep playing without running out of charge. Hot Shots Golf: World Invitational was pretty good, though. Instead? There’s a photo somewhere on PlayStation’s marketing servers of an exhausted newspaper employee halfheartedly accepting a Vita with a commemorative sleeve case.
A local Sony rep was there to document the “first Vita sold in the area,” and probably expected an excited super-fan. I rolled up at 11:53, and… yep, I was the only one there. Though even I wasn’t particularly psyched, so I didn’t pre-order a handheld and only decided to stop at a Best Buy midnight launch because it was on the way home from my second-shift job and we’d wrapped early that evening. That… wasn’t really the case at launch! There was a lot of skepticism about the handheld, and it was warranted.īut hey, I’ll play whatever. The Vita eventually became a haven for the niche, with a bounty of JRPGs and such. Long story short, proprietary memory cards suck and I’m extremely thankful for physical PlayStation Vita cartridges! - Jenni Thought it would be fine, because I had the 32GB card. I used it like crazy, as well as the 32GB backup.
So it wasn’t as simple as sticking a microSD in the slot. Which doesn’t sound probably too impressive, until you remember that the Vita had proprietary memory cards. I loved the PlayStation Vita and, because I did, I went for the biggest memory card you could get around 2015. Share your Vita memories with us in the comments! The PlayStation Vita launched in Japan ten years ago today! To celebrate the milestone, we’re looking back at Sony’s fan-favorite handheld.
