Nyoelle,

Man, I used to have PSP back in the day, and I loved it.

And now, I am kinda pondering, on buying a PS Vita, for some emulation. And I think I sure will do that. Just.. gotta get money first..

KerooSeta,

I love my modded Vita. It's a perfect little handheld emulation machine.

Please someone tell me you remember SOMA and it being an incredible game?

TotallyWizard,

I keep mine charged to play Castlevania Symphony of the Night occasionally. And gravity rush. A shame they don't bring out a successor but I think Nintendo has cornered the market unfortunately

I love the Vita! It just feels so right in the hand, and the clicky d-pad/face buttons are the best. I like it so much that around a year ago I ported one of my favorite indie games to it.

llmarx,

I remember playing Lego games on one of these when I was younger. Absolutely legendary console

awaremi,

Still use mine on the daily. It's particularly great if you can play Japanese games

It's the one device where it's a joy to use the dpad. After using it I'm still trying to find one that comes close to how good the dpad functions.

any1th3r3,

Oh yeah... I was still very much into console wars at the time it released, rooting for the Vita against the 3DS, haha.
I ended up importing it from HK to get it a few months (perhaps mere weeks even) before launch and I even made unboxings, reviews and news "coverage" on YT at the time. I loved that handheld to bits.
I don't have my day one console anymore, but I do still have one (hacked 2000 model, I'd love to get a Hori grip for it but those are way too expensive nowadays...).

The amount of Dissidia and Persona 4 Golden I played on this thing was unreal. Gorgeous screen on the original model and I actually really liked the bubble UI.

It's a shame the memory card standard killed this thing off. Would have loved to see more support for it.

Jail breaking the device unlocked so much stuff and gave the vita so much life

mugmoor,

Until I installed atmosphere on my Switch, the Vita was hands down my absolute favourite handheld console for Emulation/Source Ports.

Plus those Nyko Charge Grips are just so damned comfortable.

Haan,

I STILL want one of these so bad. Wish they weren't so expensive as I just cannot justify spending so much on such an outdated piece of tech :(

jast1117,

Sold mine earlier this year because I needed the money for rent. I loved that thing, I miss it all the time. It was my Persona and SMT machine, so many hours...

lemmyvore,

Had to sell my LCD monitor once to make rent... I loved that monitor, had researched it and bought it specifically. 🙁

Hang in there, things will be looking up before you know it.

Never had one, but repeatedly thought about getting one because of portable emulation. Nowadays there are better options for that, but the Vita itself is still a really nice little machine. At least for now, I'm happy with my Switch tho.

Moonrise2473,

imho ruined by its memory card. If it was with a real memory standard, it could be used to watch media on the go. (it can play media, right? Or it's strictly for gaming?)

mephiska,

You can play media off it, but the cards were proprietary, expensive, and prone to failure, especially the big ones. I've had the 64gb card get corrupted a few times.

jast1117,

They have adapters now so that you can use any microsd card.
