Re: Playstation Vita thread
I may be the only one but I am definitely excited about Toukiden Kiwami coming to the states in a month. The original Toukiden : Age of Demons is my favorite game on the system by far.
That said, yeah the library is underwhelming in many ways. I do enjoy my Vita though and won't sell it for anything!
Edit: I am also interested in the question that was asked a few posts up - what would you have Sony do for its next handheld?
I think an ipod touch-like device that has its own screen and (maybe controls?) but will also do what the PS TV does and have an HDMI out and accept a bluetooth controller. Personally, I would prefer a card/cart slot but I would be OK with all digital too I suppose. I would pay $200 USD for such a device - especially if it had some Roku-style functions in addition to the PSN and Vita level gaming capabilities.

Re: Playstation Vita thread
So us European Vita owners were pretty jealous of the US PSN flash sale that just happened, but we at least have gotten an Easter sale.
The discounts may not be as heavy as the US flash sale, but i couldn't argue with Jet Set Radio on my Vita for 2.50euro and Silent Hill: Book of Memories for a fiver!
Other highlights are things like PS4 Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition for 11.99euro, PS3 Demon Souls for 4.99euro, Vita Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath for 3.99euro, Dead Nation + Expansion for 3.99euro, Virtue's Last Reward: Complete Collection for 11.99euro.
As someone who tries not to keep buying games really often, this sale is like my kryptonite, and in my head i'm like "i'll buy it cheap now, so i can play it once i clear my backlog".

Re: Playstation Vita thread
I haven't purchased a physical Vita release since a big Amazon sale December 2013 (Gravity Rush, Unit 13, Uncharted) but I'm still plugging away with the downloadable stuff.
Outside of the PSOne titles, I picked up the following in the flash sale:
Home - A Unique Horror Adventure
Tennis in the Face
Dead Nation
Myst
Super Pocket Tennis
-----
Myst is interesting in that it only got a physical release on the PSP in Europe. Super Pocket Tennis is like Hot Shots Golf (or Tennis I guess, haven't played those titles) with just slightly modified real names so you're essentially playing a pocket Virtua Tennis title(reminder, I should actually get Virtua Tennis 4 for the Vita at some time). Not a lot to the controls or things you can do with the ball.
Tennis in the Face is an Angry Birds clone with pong physics for the tennis ball.
Haven't tried Dead Nation yet.

Thanks dude! I passed on the PS4 version since it was the type of game I would rather play on a handheld.

Thanks man, passed on the PS4 version like a fool. Not gonna screw this up this time. As of this posting there are still copies available. Funny though, it is filling a whopping 19.8 MB of a 2 GB card LOL.
