Phantom Roxas Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 I for one thought that the PSP was fine, but the Vita is definitely improving upon it. If only it had backwards compatibility for UMDs like the 3DS does for DS cartridges. That absence of backwards compatibility is a major drawback, because most people will decide that they're better off keeping their PSPs, which is what I'm doing until more games are announced that make me want a Vita. Overall, it was decent. Overstrike looks like fun, and I was incredibly happy to see that Sly 4 trailer, but everything else, even Vita, made me feel a bit empty inside, especially since their conference felt like it simply ended.

Dark Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 What's this about the Vita being a potentially decent handheld that doesn't spawn from Nintendo? I don't believe what I'm hearing, and because I didn't watch Microsoft's or Sony's presentation, I need some details on the latter, really only with respects to the Vita. I unfortunately can't skip school tomorrow to watch Nintendo's presentation (curse you finals and your finals review!), so I'll have to watch a re-run. I am looking forward to the ton of 3DS games they'll throw at us, and am eager to see the new console, despite the fact that I unfortunately won't buy it. I don't think I want to lug around a huge scrap of metal to college when I probably will never use it. D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Roxas Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 Even though Nintendo's conference hasn't happened yet, I have to wonder, just what will happen next year? The only thing the Big Three can do is talk about more games, which runs the risk of Microsoft or Sony having to resort to unveiling their new consoles, and even though I can only see Microsoft doing that. Maybe if Sony focuses less on 3D and Move and more on games we actually want, then at least that would be an improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catterjune Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 Vita at the same price as the 3DS could spell trouble for Nintendo. ... Competition is always a good thing though. Possible 3DS price cut on the horizon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Roxas Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 If they announce that tomorrow, it would probably annoy those who already bought a 3DS, but for the most part I think it would be best to do it now. The 3DS hasn't sold as much as they would like, and with Ocarina of Time 3D coming out soon, more people will be buying a 3DS now. Then again, I was hoping to finally buy my 3DS tomorrow, so we'll just have to wait and see. Still, a price drop, while too soon for the system, would be a hilarious retaliation against Vita.

Tentacruel Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 It would be even more hilarious if the Vita contained some weird substance that gave everyone who touched it cancer and put Sony out of business! =D *Shot repeatedly* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twig Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 I wasn't really caring for the Vita until I saw what it can do and the games it has. Although I'm still probably not going to buy since I don't have enough money for it, let alone money for the 3DS. Can't wait for Nintendo conference. =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Roxas Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 I for one really like the touch capabilities of the Vita, but I didn't see a game that made me buy the system. Considering how my PSP library consists of Daxter, Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters, Secret Agent Clank, and assorted Square Enix games, I was hoping Square Enix would announce something. Guess I just need to try out other PlayStation franchises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO with Vita likely coming out next year the 3DS will have time to carve out it's market and will have a decent number of good titles out. Also, after a year I can see it getting the price cut down to 200. [quote name='ADHD-Guitar' timestamp='1307418178' post='5262741'] Wait, what channel is the Nintendo thing going to be on?

Phant0mZPlayer Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 I just watched Sony's press conference videos on Youtube, which was WAY better then the Microsoft press conference. All Microsoft talked about was the upcoming Kinect games and such, the only thing that was good was the announce of Halo 4. Looks like Xbox users aren't gonna have such a great time in 2012, unless they like using the Kinect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flame Dragon Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 Odd way to start, but they are addressing the overlooked piece of gaming with the music. It's so important for creating mood and atmosphere. Now on to the Zelda games. Free 4 swords O_0 SS out this holiday season. And gold Wiimote is cool. Zelda concerts......interesting. CD is cool since people love them some game music and getting it is often a super pain. Overall, not a bad start, but not a strong one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under water driving and car customizability. Lots of cool retro tracks. Star Fox 3D. Starfights seems cool. Motion controls is nice. Out Sept. Super Mario 3D: Super Mario meets 3D Mario sweet. Kid Icarus: Still looks amazing: Multi player battles nice. His voice is meh. lol trading cards. Luigi's Mansion 2: O_0 Resident Evil is cool Mario and Sonic TETRIS Tekken Pacman Snake Eater Virtual Console is going to be sweet Free Excitebike always cool 3D Pokedex: Interesting and FREE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
