Btw, it's interesting you said "in the US". I just bought a brand new $100+ Vita game, and it's Super Robot Wars of course. I'm %100 sure there will be a part two of this game released almost exactly a year later which means...that's a pretty late Vita game. It also means that it would behoove someone to release a Vita game in that year since there will be one high profile AAA game (OK, by Japan standards anyway) on the schedule and not much else in between.

Posted by SignOfZeta on March 29, 2017 at 20:27:08 EST in reply to I realized this a few weeks ago. I'm not a huge 3DS fan but it does signify the end of a lot of things, mostl surprisingly 3D which is now once again headed for obscurity now that no major TV makers are supporting it. I'm really into the Japanese rail games on 3DS right now and the 3D combined with good headphones really gets me into it. In general I was much more disappointed with the end of the Gameboy era.

I just checked and I'm very wrong about that. There are shitloads of games still scheduled for Vita in Japan. Probably 100 or more. Of course I don't know about how many of these are just teeny little downloads and how many are legit major titles.

Make that hundredS. There are games for 2018 even. God, the failure of this system, particularly in the US, is so frustrating...

yeah, I really feel like the failure of the system is down to Sony deciding they didn't want to support it in the US anymore. It's a good console! I wish it were more viable to make games for it!

A lot of things regarding the Vita were fucked up. The thing has rear touch. It has REAR TOUCH, Brandon. WTF is that shit about? The biggest fuckup was making it such a direct replacement for the PSP that I have to look at my shelf to remind myself which system a certain game was on, despite me spending 100 hours on it. It's basically identical to the PSP except for the speed/power/size. This probably doesn't help when half the hit Vita/PSP games are digital comics RPGs and galget that could run on either system. It needed some kind of hook other than some tacked on BS like 3G and rear touch. Really, it seems like the JP market hanging on to the PSP for years after the US would have delayed its adoption of Vita somewhat. Maybe that's just my Bandai-centric viewpoint taking here...or maybe it did and we won't see the last Vita released until 2022. Incidently, I downloaded the demo for Uppers. Looks pretty cool but I'm afraid it'll get super boring later on if I actually buy it. It has great graphics though.

it's weird how hard the vita is going into the waifu market, like even if you make a brawler you've got to have some part where a dude buries his face in a girl's boobs (I just watched the uppers trailer)
