Best place is the psn webstore.

Click on PSP games and select vita as the device filter. Same thing for PS1 games. I'm off to bed so good luck looking for games.

Thanks for input regarding the upgrade though, OLED screen is nice and all but I tend to prefer the slimmer models so this may just be up my alley.

Hey perorist, where did you import from?
I'd recommend NipponYasan personally, but my order from there was only for a 64gb card, so customs and stuff was no sweat. Go check out the VitaTV import thread -- you could probably find some good info there about which sites were the most reasonable for that and then logically assume ordering a Vita 2000 would be about the same.

Check the CAG thread. It's mostly up to date.
Other titles I know don't work in any capacity, for NA:
R-Types
R-Type Delta
Final Fantasy V

Final Fantasy 7, 8, and 9 are all on the Vita store in NA and are all playable.

Momohime's seems like it would be the worst of the two. :\

Alrighty, I'll look out for it! Thanks.

Also, fuuuuuuuu at FFV not being playable. I was planning on playing the entire main FF series for the first time up to X on a Vita, having one of the titles not being there is a major letdown. :(

Also Nippon Yasan

For newly released items they often have the cheapest prices. Only thing to note is they ship significantly slower than other companies though, taking up to 1 week to process your order even if the item is in stock. Another thing is they mark all packages as gifts and at generally around 1/5th the value or less of what it's actually worth. While this is potentially big savings depending on if you get hit with customs in your country, if the package somehow gets lost or damaged during transit you're out of luck as far as compensation goes.

Alright, I give up. I'm stuck on Chapter 5 of Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus on what's apparently a "fiend challenge" at the monastary annex. There are 4 of them that keep respawning after they die and there doesn't seem like any way to kill them for good. Anybody who beat this part able to give me the apparent secret I'm overlooking?

The fiend challenges are generally pretty long. You probably have to kill around 30 or 40 of them before you get them all, just keep at it.

Block, dodge, destroy.
They'll spawn for a good while.
You don't have to do the fiend challenges. At all. They're all optional.

Try a walkthrough like this one, I'm not sure if they cover that part though.

Didn't even know it was optional until now. Just seemed like it was the next thing in the story from finding a key that unlocked the door leading there.

Any time you run into a challenge area like that, it's an optional test of skill which will reward you with a prize -- something like a lives of the thousands gods or spirit of the devils to extend your life bar or magic uses.

I went through the first like 3 hours about 6 months apart trying to give the game a chance. I'm glad others like them, I just wish I did as well.

WUT

Thank you for telling me this, I seriously thought the game had been taken down. The original Valkyria is my favourite JRPG of the PS3 era, but the sequel hit when I didn't have a PSP and had no interest in getting another (those load times...*shudder*). I'll give it a shot even though I've heard it's not the game the first one was. My Vita needs this on it.

No it's the one with all the free goodies.

Also, newbie to Ninja Gaiden but not to action games. I'm playing NGSP1 right now. Is there a point to those rooms that seemingly have infinite respawning enemies aside from farming them? There's one in Chapter 1. I just found another one in Chapter 3 (airship) though there's a Golden Scarab on top of the crates.

lol, what are the odds of someone asking the exact same thing just a few posts above me. Does the room "reset" if I exit?

Not sure if I should go for them right now. I can deal with them fine, but gun damage eventually chip me to death, though I try to avoid it by throwing shuriken on someone as distraction while killing another with melee. I went through four potions before calling it quits.

Just an FYI that some PSP games ARE Vita compatible but require transferring from a PS3.

If you're US PSN, wait til Spring if you can, this past Spring, the FF games were 50% off.

Gonna visit my local shop to ask about Ys, if they aren't getting it by the 5th I'll just get it from the US Store and get the VR Missions game for dat top head Stealth.

Quick question -- My 32GB card is filled to the brim. I would gladly delete some of my bigger games (Uncharted, Gravity Rush, etc), but doing so deletes my save game. Is there a way to keep my save data on the memory card and still delete the game data? Or do I just have to copy/paste my saves to my PC?

Your only option is to back them up to your PC first, which I find to be some pretty weak sauce.

My only issue with saving "to the cloud" is that you don't have control over it so it can't really be trusted as being perpetual. Eventually, inevitably, you're going to lose those saves if you haven't backed them up to PC.

I'm thinking about ordering one from NCSX. I just wish they had the 64GB memory card. It'd be nice to get everything from one place.

Both are good, though Legends is a little easier.
Playing Origins first will let you see how Legends has improved over some stuff from it as well as the graphics.
iF YOU can only get one, get Legends, I think it's on sale for $18 on US PSN atm, but that's a flash sale of sorts so grab it asap!
