Some of us don't want what is either an overpowered, bulky handheld with poor battery life Then why did you buy a Vita? Because it's neither bulky nor overpowered, and while the battery life isn't stellar it's still more reliable than the Switch's. |

I can't recall if a decision has been made, but this line "This decision is largely due to Sony’s plans to discontinue the Vita console, ending production of physical copies and stopping certain online store support features." makes me wonder if staggered release of content has been confirmed. When released will we get the full game, or will it be piecemeal?

Maybe today, but for its time the Vita was just as overpowered a handheld as the Switch is today, and as for bulk, it kinda sucks in the portability aspect compared to its counterpart (the 3DS) when you have nothing protecting its screen and those thumbsticks are jutting right out all the time. I love my Vita, but it really is the Switch of its time. Of course, I don't see that really as a bad thing  |

Plus the inconvenience of needing an extra memory card to even access some games in the first place. While I do acknowledge that this news is bad for anyone who really wanted a Vita version... I'm actually glad the Vita version was cancelled. The only game I ever played on it with no problems was Ys IV. |

I'm actually glad the Vita version was cancelled. The only game I ever played on it with no problems was Ys IV. The Vita wasn't all that overpowered when it came out. It was the expected next step up from the PSP. If you want to protect the screen, get a glass screen protector. I've got one on mine, and it's still in great shape after all these years. Fits in my men's jeans pockets too. As for the requirement of a memory card to even access some games, did you have the same complaint with the PSP? Some games on the PSP had to make system data on your memory stick, and not a single PSP game saved to the UMD, as UMDs are read-only to my knowledge. If you're going to have this complaint about the Vita, you should also have a very similar one with the PSP. The PSP was very popular despite this flaw, so I don't see it as a valid reason as to why someone wouldn't use their Vita. Memory card prices are understandable though. Ys IV/MoC plays nicely on the Vita, and so does Ys VIII. MoC runs at a more constant 30fps, but it has its dips too of course. |

The PSP was very popular despite this flaw, so I don't see it as a valid reason as to why someone wouldn't use their Vita. Memory card prices are understandable though. No. I mean that I already had a memory card in my Vita (a default 16GB card) for Ys IV, and was able to play the full game without any odd interruption. However, the moment I tried any other game, the system asked that I use another memory card before it even allowed me to play any other Vita games, and I ended up buying a 128GB card for it. I had no such problem with my PSP, even with the original 8GB memory card I had for it.I have no clue whether such a problem is commonplace with either the PSP or the Vita, but it's why I found my own Vita highly inconvenient to work with when I originally posted that reply. Regardless of all this, Sony is pretty clear in their intent to pull support from the Vita, so it makes perfect sense to me why production of the Vita version was cancelled; and I'm actually glad about it. |

Ys IV/MoC plays nicely on the Vita, and so does Ys VIII. MoC runs at a more constant 30fps, but it has its dips too of course. The PSP gave you near PS2 level games two whole years before the PS3 came out. The PS Vita gave you near PS3 level games two whole years before the PS4 came out. The Nintendo Switch gives you slightly better power than the PS3/Wii U... over three years after the PS4 came out. If the Switch is overpowered now, then the Vita and PSP definitely were then. Though one could argue the reality is that Nintendo handhelds were underpowered until now. Side note, PSP also used Sony Memory Stick Pro DUOs, a format shared with cameras and reproduced by third parties. It wasn't a proprietary memory card made exclusively by Sony. This is why the prices for Vita memory cards are absurd compared to Memory Stick Pro DUO. |
