This is huge.

HiredN00bs · Apr 22, 2014

So, now I can play, natively on my Vita:

Metal Gear
Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake
Metal Gear Solid
Metal Gear Solid 2
Metal Gear Solid 3
Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops
Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker

Plus, I can play Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeros and Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain through Remote Play. If Sony were to make Guns of the Patriots and Rising available on PlayStation Now, you could play the entire franchise on a Vita!

Darknight · Apr 22, 2014

jackal27 · Apr 22, 2014

WAIT. Does this mean that I'll actually be able to buy Phantasy Star Portable, Brave Story and others!?

Or are they only available for people who already own them?

SmokyDave · Apr 22, 2014

Just downloaded Tetris and tested it out with the Vita d-pad. It's every bit as good as I expected.

Armaly · Apr 22, 2014

Anyone try transferring the games over using a ps3? Nothing shows up under content manager for me but I can download them from the vita store just fine.

Kingbrave · Apr 22, 2014

Metal Gear Solid all up in my pants...and pocket!

Are you sure about this? It seems like a lot of people are talking about buying these games. I'm going to be so frustrated if I can't pick them up...

I'm a bit confused. My vita is EU/AU but I was able to install MGS1 and buy Portable Ops for vita ages ago. What's changed?

EU has had PO and MGS1 for awhile. US didn't though, and every other games now works too.

Phantasy Star Portable 2 has been delisted for like two years now.

I'm no longer mad about not buying the crash games in that flash sale because of this and the Capcom collections.

It's delisted so only those who bought it before are getting it through the download list.

technically you can play mgs 4 and rising on the vita through remote play via a CFW ps3 (did that with dmc collection when i had my cfw ps3)
plus you forgot VR missions, which i still need to get to playing.

God damn

I already own the Legacy Collection though lol

Shig · Apr 22, 2014

I never knew Brave Story was ever available as a download to begin with. Dammit, I wish I had gotten that before it was delisted.

Damn my insistence on not rebuying digital games I already own physically.

BrokenEchelon · Apr 22, 2014

Wait, as in the entire library was put on PSN and now works, or stuff that was released initially for PSP now works?

i.e., does Crisis Core work?

SpiceMelange · Apr 22, 2014

Can I play FF1 / 2 psp on vita in the NA region now? Or is it EU only?

Fou-Lu · Apr 22, 2014

Was wondering the same thing.

Gbraga · Apr 22, 2014

Crisis Core doesn't cause it never had a digital version, as far as I know.

Jimmyfenix · Apr 22, 2014

I need to know about crisis core for eu preferably.

Edit. My stupidly of course square would not put it up. Does dissidia work?

no, crisis core was never released digitally. basically all digital games on the psp work for vita.

I don't understand how this happens out of nowhere all of a sudden. There wasn't an update or anything. Someone using science explain.

i don't think those are even on the store over here, sadly... those are pretty top priority for my wishlist too. i want my FF bubbles to be all it can be.

digita1alchemy · Apr 22, 2014

Great that all the games finally work, but none of my favorite games that I would double-dip on are available digitally.

Someone at SCEA leaned against a giant "make everything compatible" button.

Until SCEA says something about it this is the only logical conclusion I can arrive at using several scientific disciplines.

Probably preparing for the update tomorrow so that they aren't late again.

Xis · Apr 22, 2014

Megaton!

I can now download the 10 titles I couldn't before:

Bloons (bleh)
Capcom Classics Collection Remi
Dracula: Undead Awakening
Pac-Man Championship Edition (yay!)
Rock Band Unplugged Lite
SEGA Genesis Collection
Syphon Filter: Combat Ops (bleh)
Spyro: Year of the Dragon
Twisted Metal: Head-On
WipEout Pure

Plus, add-ons for some of my other games work now!

There was actually already a work around for this, but an awesome game nonetheless.

Whoops, I thought this was already the case. Well, I'm glad it is now.

Jucksalbe · Apr 22, 2014

I'm so glad Brave Story finally works. I'll have to download it as soon as I switch back to my US account.

Too bad someone didn't lean on the "market the vita's value" button.

It's never been available on the store afaik. Only the ps1 versions are on the NA store

It's just a backend change. No change to the Vita firmware needed. Games would be flagged in the store database as whether they're Vita compatible or not. Any games flagged as incompatible couldn't be downloaded.

They've just flagged EVERYTHING as compatible now.

Dissidia's worked for months at least. That's part of why I assumed it was all PSP games already.

inpHilltr8r · Apr 22, 2014

If there was no firmware, then either the updated emulator is in the wrapper, as in you download it with the game. Or it was fixed in the last firmware update, and they only just flipped the switch at the store.

My bet is on the latter.

Nothing ever needed to be updated. These games always worked on the Vita as shown by hacked vitas, they just weren't available on the store.

I also believe the latter because I just bought silent hill 2 days ago and it wouldn't let me download it directly to the Vita.
