Also Gunhouse started as a PSM game, I still have both that release and the ill-fated alpha of Oh Deer! on my Vita.
Brandon Sheffield (the owner of Necrosoft) has been a big fan of the Vita and wanted to support it as much as possible, but Sony screwed him pretty bad with the whole PSM mess. The Oh Deer! release was very much just a passion project, as Sony shut down the auth servers shortly after closing the store.

Yeah, I remember - I still have Oh Deer on my OLED Vita too!
Maybe he'll finally get that game finished just before the Vita PSN store goes offline.
Just bought Persona 4, killzone and a couple others.
Pretty pissed off that the UK store is so limited. There's tons of games I've been reading about that are not available in my region.
And holy fuck are the memory cards expensive. I have 3 games on my 8gb and it's full.
I really wish the PSP game selection on the PSN was better.
There are so many great PSP games I'd love to play on my vita but I just am not allowed to :(

It doesn't help that selections vary from region to region. I feel your pain.
I honestly haven't checked but I wouldn't be surprised if this is the case, or becomes the case past a certain point.
Oh my god this is the worst. If the Vita didn't require you having to back up and reformat to switch profiles and instead worked like the PS3 it would at least be slightly tolerable but even then the selection isn't much better lol.
PS1 selection isn't tooooo awful it just has some really weird omissions. Like why is there no Ace Combat 2 or 3? Or why only armored core 1 and not master of arena? And why no Gran Turismo 2???
Couple of reviews up on my site - Exist Archive (fund, but repetitive after a while):

Ecolibrium (a terrible example of F2P):

Couple of hundred yen up on Amazon? Otherwise mostly the same.

Ah for Japan that makes sense.
I guess US supply is gone no?
Ohhh sorry, I didn't realise you meant western supplies. I haven't bought a non-import memory card for years :P
TxK was rock hard for me to finish. I never got good enough to get anywhere on Pure (plus trophies were glitched so I lost the incentive to bother) but did manage to clear all 100 levels eventually. Had to be very careful with lives management after the first 50 or so levels, but found the last 10 or so levels easier than expected. Such a trippy, awesome game.
Yeah, it's a pretty fun and quick ride.
My suggestion is to buy the DLC story and install it before you get to the end.
My latest article is about 10 (more) cancelled Vita games that should have happened. Always a depressing one to write but researching it helped me dig up some interesting stuff!

Ouch! I'm sure you'll get it next time.

Cool list. I wasn't even aware MOH was ever stated to get a Vita release (another couple of FPS' would have been nice for sure, at least Konami could have given me the Coded Arms games via PSP :( )
City Shrouded in Shadow though... that game would have been rough on Vita, and I say that as someone who enjoyed it very much! It runs bad o the PS4 in places due to lack of optimisation so I can't imagine how bad it'd run/look on Vita.
After reading this, all I could think was "I pray Romancing Saga 3 localization still makes it over".
Yeah, I'd heard tales about how bad City Shrouded in Shadow was - I'd still love to have seen it on Vita though. The producer even said it wasn't a decision for technical reasons which seems bizarre!
I'm quite pleased with the selection of PSP FPS games - we only got the first Coded Arms though didn't we? Would've loved Contagion too.
I have no hope for that one anymore. If we do, it'll only be because Kawazu pulls some crazy shit.
I dont remember the first Coded Arms (well, either of them) being playable on the Vita. They were ripe for Vita just for the control mapping options. Pity, guess I'll boot up my PSP version one day again!
Meanwhile, did anything come of those VVVVVV and 1001 Spikes physical releases? I remember them being teased recently with in box copies shown but I never saw if they'd be released or not.
Oh buddy, I've got news for you! Coded Arms is on the US store and it's Vita-compatible (might only be through PS3-transfer, but it's definitely doable - I have it on my Vita!).
Must've mis-read your first message sorry, I thought you were saying they were playable on Vita :P
Promo copies of 1001 and VVVVVV were recently sold on eBay. They should be coming out soon.
If not, then whoever bought those got the rarest Vita games in existence.
Ah ok, good to know. Fingers crossed we get proper release dates soon as both would make great additions to my collection.
Ok, that's fantastic news. Time for me to get my USA account active on a Vita and do a playthrough, thanks :)
I really like the Hori Face Cover, but they should be pretty hard to find nowadays (and/or overpriced).
Other than that, I use a regular screen protector.

Just got my Sayonara Umihara Kawase++ CE from Strictly Limited, it's fantastic. So glad we got a physical release for this game, and last time I checked the standard edition was still available on their site. Great game, one of the most unique platformers out there and a port of the SFC original is included with the Vita game.
Grabbed Longest 5 Minutes and Spelunky today. Who said the Vita is dying worse than the 3DS ;) (seriously, I can't believe I'm still spending this much money on the Vita in 2019, Catherine next unless more limited releases pop up).
Question for anyone with a CFW Vita.
Is there anything out there that can lower the screen brightness by more than the system menu? When playing my OLED model laying in bed the lowest brightness available in the system menu is still uncomfortably bright to me.

I looked for the exact same thing a couple of days ago and found this https://github.com/devnoname120/vitabright. Truth to be told, I'm not totally sure it worked, but moving the slider to the absolute minimum seems to lower the brightness a bit more than usual.
Bah, those games are this week? Not sure if I'll get Code Realize yet or wait, but I'll definitely look into getting Catherine. Cannot wait for that one.
Cheap case with a padded front is better than a screen protector if you ask me. Only way to keep the console in the best condition is to use a case.
Yeah, I ordered one recently but might just use both. I have a grip case on it so ill have to take that off to fit it but maybe for the best.
Are there any vita games with pretty active online communities still? I have mostly played rpgs on mine.
Killzone does, although oddly Call of Duty has an even bigger community still.
Killzone still does? I might have to re-download and boot it back up
I'm not sure it's 100% of the time, but there were definitely still people playing when I last logged on.
I've been a fan of your Vita website for quite some time. I just want to say thank you for highlight some games no one else has or giving some games a chance. While I don't have the same taste in games as you, I found some great games among your recommendations.
Hey thanks, that's awesome to hear! I'm glad people enjoy my content.
Hello, VitaEra. I've been MIA for a little while due to financial issues after a couple of rough years, but things finally seem to be working themselves out, and I'd like to pick up a couple Vita games to play on the commute to and from work. I'd say I probably haven't been following things closely for at least a year, maybe two. Excluding limited releases like LRG or SLG, and stuff like Code Realize or Psychedlica, is there anything must-play that I missed that you can recommend? How did that Secret of Mana remake turn out?
He mentions further down that he was talking about Code;Realize.
Oh, I see. I still have a guess that Aksys might've released another physical Vita title, or might still release it DD-only in the future.
honestly it isn't really a surprise that cod still has a community on Vita, i remember it always being in the top 10 some how on the UK Vita physical charts and i'm pretty sure it's in the top 5 total sellers for the US market, i'm sure someone included the vita top 10 tweet in a thread a good while ago
