    Hi all
    Let me start by saying I was looking into getting a Nintendo switch but the launch didn't appeal to me so I have turned my attention to the vita.

    Is this still a viable option?
    Can it be bought new anywhere
    Any good deals about?

    Many thanks

    Well I guess It depends what kinda games you're into?......There's loads of Jrpg's if that's what you like, If you're into shooters there's killzone , unit 41, tearaway is a fun platformer, Dungeon alliance is a fun RPG, some good indie titles on it too......sony have all but just about forgotten it exists so there's no more support for it....Shops don't sell it anymore from what I've seen, you're best bet is one of the 2nd hand stores like CEX or buy online from Amazon and failing that you could always import....


    Personally I love my vita but I love Jrpg's and there's a wealth of them for the vita and loads coming this year, so my advice would be too look through the game back catalogue and see for yourself if there's anything that interests you.

    no I'm afraid not.
    That's the reason I decided against the switch I'd rather put pins in me eyes than play zelda
    Just not for me

    You can get PSP/PS1 games from the store, that's mostly what I use mine for (but they're rpgs or horror).
    Ever play Kenka Bancho on PSP? You might like that one.

    If you are intending to buy digital copies of games, don't forget to factor in the crackers prices of vita memory cards.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    Just wondering can anyone recommend a two player game over psn? Me and my nephew have been playing terraria and minecraft and it's getting a bit old. Something co-operative might be good. Solving puzzles and the like?

    Last I saw Ska tweeted they were in touch with Sony about it, but no suggestion of when it may be released.

    Saw that Ska post alright, I think it just implies that there was an administration issue with it not being released on the store. Shouldn't take that long for it to be released you'd imagine.

    I'd say it'll be up by the end of the week.

    Aren't there over 1300 games for the Vita (not including PS1 and PSP games)?

    Well over 50% of those games had a Japan only release though.

    I started it on PS4 a while ago, but I'd be tempted to buy it on Vita for SOMETHING to play on the thing.

    If you bought it for PS4 then you get the Vita version free.

    Is the steep learning/difficulty curve as high as with something like dark souls or bloodborne? Tempted to pick it up, seems like a perfect fit on vita

    No it's a lot easier to get into. The bosses are difficult but the regular enemies won't be causing you any trouble in the early stages. You'll be smashing heads right from the start.

    Nippon Ichi Software is working on a sequel to the PS Vita survival horror, Yomawari: Night Alone. What is Shin Yomawari in Japan will be headed Westward as Yomawari: Midnight Shadows in Fall 2017.

    Zelda like is usually always a plus, has it been out long?

    Has anyone managed to get remote play working with the Vita through the Internet? I've done it locally - i.e. in the next room - but the only couple of times I've tried from another location I've not been able to find the PS4. Is there a trick to it?

    I know if it did work it wouldn't be great but I just need a good enough connection for an hour or so to enter a draft in Madden.

    I was able to do it when I worked in Dublin last year. Stayed in Rathmines and had a 240MB Virgin Media connection into my flat, and worked just up at Harcourt Street and get a pretty decent connection going, there was about half a second of latency but it was doable if you were playing turn-based games or doing a Madden draft or any thing that does not require live action gameplay it's works a charm.

    It worked for me without opening any of the ports on the network for either the PS4 or the Vita, but I imagine if that were done I imagine you could get a decent connection.
