Only for the SNK Minis that actually transfer to Vita. For the Neo Geo Station releases you will have to repurchase them as the PSP versions to play on Vita.

My buddy has been raving about his Vita he picked up. I'm trying to play it safe with buying new consoles and devices this go around. But I'm starting to crack with the vita....... worth jumping in right away? or keep waiting?
Are you interested in any of the games? Are they worth $250 to you?
If not, then wait.
I like the experience of being part of a launch, but if it wasn't for that, I'd have waited myself.
It's a good console though and you probably won't be disappointed if you do buy it.

Your interest in the PSP library will probably make or break its worth for you.

Who knows. I bet most likely due to future special edition Vitas. PSP had special edition PSPs that was white.
There is literally no hope for people who wants the Orange Vitas though....I want an Orange one.

I felt like a dummy for spending $15 on Plants Vs. Zombies, but man, I forgot how addictive it is. I must have played it for like three hours straight after downloading it. It's overpriced relative to the other PvZ ports (which happen to be on every gaming platform ever made), but for the amount of fun and longevity you can get out of it, it's a fair price. It plays so well with touch screen controls, I think it's even better than playing it with a mouse. Now I want more touch screen-only games.

Last time I did this it took nearly 24 hours to get the code. Not for those in a hurry.
Amazon? I get all my PSN codes from them. Instant delivery.

Totally. Warriors Orochi 1-2 are the only Vita-compatible Musou games that retain what I liked about the PS2 Musou games. We need a proper Samurai Warriors on this piece, sans swipe/touch.
Yup, I got the game. Free PS3 plat. Hope I get the DLC too.

Not in Arizona. I just bought $70 worth of PSN cards online two weeks ago and got charges tax.
They can charge tax on that there?
They said if you didn't get the code DM'd to you by 21:00 (which was 45 minutes ago here) then you're out of luck. No joy for me on the DLC either, but I got the game free so I'm more than happy to buy the DLC when I'm done with the core game.

I adore my vita but one thing that really bothers me is no use of the physical buttons for screen switching and binding commands to the buttons for the web browser, so many missed opportunities that hopefully will come as options later...
L/R triggers for forward/ back, X for refresh? D-pad for moving up and down home screens damn c'mon now

The main reason for me is the battery extension, and as long as there's something I can grip on in my palm it's okay.

That's not it, you just probably didn't notice that Motorstorm supports the back touch there.
But yeah, I had noticed a few times that you don't have to actually touch the screen. There are some interesting advantages / effects. You can still touch with light gloves (as we've seen this weird guy do on vids, but you can't do that with the iPhone for instance), and when I wipe it clean with my sleeve for instance that still registers touch as well.
And of course screen protectors will never have a negative effect that way either.
Happened to me just now too. Froze on the PS logo right at the start.

That was in Game Informer's April issue. They have their parody magazine every April.
I would suggest waiting for Nyko's power grip with battery extension and how it's received.
damn, that's hot, when does this come out? Reminds me of my old psp one that had a doubled as a battery pack.

I've barely touched my PS3 since I got my Vita :-O, I'm not sure why either :-/, I think maybe when I turn on my PS3 I feel I have to commit, I don't really get that feeling with the Vita, it's like a portable PS3 that I can just pick up and play at my leisure, turning on the PS3 involves me turning the system on, then the TV, then the amp, positioning yourself into your 'gamer pose', it's kind of a ritualistic process to commit yourself and time to a video game, I'm not always prepared to put myself in the mindset.

Same here but there is hope as I just got Tales of Graces today and it is very enjoyable thus far.
which means he should probably remove it.

You know it's odd but I've never really thought of how the simple act of switching devices on and waiting for stuff to boot up and load has quite a dramatic effect on my gaming habits, I'm getting to a stage now were I think I just want access to my entertainment instantly, if I have to switch things on and wait I'm put off, hopefully in the future when we all have 'always on' low powered solid state hardware and touch screen super oled wallpaper in our homes things will be different, outside of mobile devices the current state of hardware feels very archaic to me, or at least the form and functionality of it, separate boxes taking up space in my room with tons of wires that require switching on and off depending on my entertainment needs, I'm tired of that.

Now that's saying a lot. PC gaming is pretty damn sweet. Yet, I have to admit that I'm not doing any of that lately, either. That $60 digital Kingdoms of Amalur purchase is making me weep.

I know I can't justify that much for KOA but I happily paid full retail (pre-order) on Uncharted: GA. I tell myself it was a backlog conscious choice.

Exactly racing isn't gamechanging. Playing the DJ in a racing game is gamechanging.

If you could race it'll be 1/4th of the game!
