From what I can gather, the n2 app now has access to live streams? Maybe someone with a better knowledge of Japanese can make more sense of it.

Anyone know how the save system works on Ninja Gaiden for Vita? I've been playing it and every time I die it sends me back to the beginning. I can't see dragon statures where I am pretty sure they were in the home console game...

The very first dragon statue in NG is at the last shack before you fight Murai in the first chapter. Gotta work your way to it!

Wow. Okay. I think in the home console game there were about two dragon statues ahead of that. I'm playing on hard and getting my ass kicked by Ninja Gaiden again feels great but going back to the beginning was starting to smart a little. Now I know there is light at the end of the tunnel I shall press on. Thanks!

Depends on if you played NG/NG:B on Xbox or if you played NGS on PS3.
I'm pretty sure NGS on PS3, the first save statue is pretty far in. It might be 1/2 but I don't recall off hand if there's 2 in the chapter (there's one close to the boss room but I can't recall if it's the only one).

went ahead and bought Stealth (well it's coming to the Vita.. just wanna support it then :/)
and Rock of Ages on PS3 for easier multiplayer with the girlfriend.

Trine 2 any good? (all these games should be on the Vita argh)

Really? Maybe my memory is failing me but I'm pretty sure I recall a save statue in the wooden corridor where you insert the fangs of the samurai. Maybe I'm going crazy. I played in on PS3.

Yup they all seem like children saying DONT LOKE WHAT I DONT LIKE/DONT HAVE.

Don't see the point in bitching about it anymore. And if anything Wii U should be getting even more bad press. Nintendo is so desperate they had to whip out a 15 year old rom to sell the system.

Trine 2 is decent. Easy platinum too!
Fairly short game though.
 
There is only one Dragon Statue even in NGB. Right before the test with the ninjas.

It's to the right of a staircase in a nook, I think -- I just couldn't remember if that was the one right before the first boss fight or not (seems it is).

It was okay. I thought Trine was excellent and 2 failed to deliver on the magic of the original. Still solid enough... wasn't it a freebie? It's usually on sale 7 times a month on Steam too for all of $2 or something.

I remember someone mentioned that the Nico Nico app can record/livestream Vita games now, but a premium account is required.

got it on Steam... but setting up multiple controllers for it was a hassle..

it was a PS+ freebie? :/ it's on sale now for $3.74

Started P3P......

When do I uhh actually play the game?

You don't want to play it, trust me.

P3P is a bad poop, and not the way to play or experience Persona 3, that ripoff is a butchered port, Atlus were taking crazy pills were making it most likely, point in click bullshittery and no explorations and living in the town with the other charachters mean no real social experience which is core to Persona games,no animated cutscenes is a huge insult and ruin the game and the story completely, its shitty graphics are bad even by the low PSP standard and the top down camera is a joke and kill the feel completely.

P3P is a downgrade and an a very bad port that offer less of everything and realluy not real or full Persona experience. delete it from your Vita and go get P3/FES on PS2.

~3hrs in I think? It feels like forever because there are no character models/3D world

yeah it is just insane, they cut the interactivity (among other things) of a freaking video game that you know need to be interactive and put you inside that world. what were they(Atlus) thinking?

new comers to Persona series need to learn how to dodge and avoid it and all false evil recommendations telling them to buy this crap, every time someone made a post or thread telling us how he/she suffer with that abomination I remember my horrible time in hell with it.
 
So guys, I have a code for Velocity Ultra, for my site, I wasn't sure if it's inappropriate to post here about it? I know linking to stuff is generally bad in most situations.. I wanted to give you guys a chance to get it, we're raffling it off.

Ignore this post. Persona 3 Portable is the best game on the PSP.
Those who start with P3P prefer it to FES, those who start FES, often still like P3P better. Let me use some anecdotal evidence to exemplify why P3P is the best version of Persona 3. I bought 6 of my friends Persona 3 when it was on sale (in the past year it's been on sale twice) for those that had PSPs (3 of them) I bought P3P, if they had PS3's I bought them FES.
So I bought 3 people P3P and 3 people FES. Out of the people I bought FES for, exactly 0 of them finished the game. They didn't hate it, but none of them liked it enough to finish it. Out of the 3 people for whom I bough P3P, all 3 finished and loved it. 2 of them went on to play Persona 4 because of P3P and 1 of them is currently on their 2nd run through of P3P.
It's only anecdotal, but I played both FES and P3P too (starting with P3P.) The portable version just plays much better and feels like an updated version, while FES feels outdated with it's mechanics and the lack of FeMC is a bigger loss than the answer: just my two cents.

So, I am in my dorm for a few more days where I have blazing fast internet, but no wifi (I can't get my router to work with the uni internet access). Then I'll be at home for two months with sub-DSL 1000 speeds.

So, can I use the PSN Store on PC to download stuff directly to my Vite, or, preferably, to my PC to transfer to my tiny 8 gig card every time I want to play another game? If yes, how? I have my Vita connected to my PC and hit download to Vita, but nothing happens.

Your uni network letting you down? If you have wifi on your laptop, you can circumvent this by Downloading a wireless hotspot app like Connectify and you can connect your vita to your pc instead of your uni's network.

But no, unfortunately, you cannot download games on your pc and transfer to your vita.

urrrmmm, no.

It appears you'll have to painstakingly download a batch of games to the vita (since you don't have a ps3?), then transfer and store it on the PC.

Okay, I will try this.

PS: The router thing is that I have an IP for my room, but no matter what setting I set my router at, static, dynamic, whatever, it won't proceed through the setup fully, then I can use WLAN (without password...) for a day or two, then it folds down on itself (maybe a certain amount of lost packages?) and I'll have to unplug the router several times and go back to wired internet on my pc, because even wired won't work. Works for others in the building, but not for me, and the data center people told me that they're not the ones to talk to, but the clueless janitor of the building. Yeah.

Yea, I have no idea what the problem is as well lol. Sucks when your internet doesn't work like it should though.

i don't remember it taking that long actually. you get to play a lot sooner than in persona 4 golden.

i actually just beat p3p this past weekend. it took me a long time though. i didn't really get sucked in until the last half of the game. i enjoyed it! tartarus was so tedious though.

Think I'm *finally* getting a hang of Project Diva f..been getting Excellent ratings on Normal mode and nailing all the bonus sections. I can't believe how LTTP I am with this game. Real shame if Sega doesn't localize the Vita version (chances look close to nil though).

Anyway, are there any other essential imports out there? Either current or future releases. Been thinking that if there are enough I might buy another memory card and set up a JP PSN account so I don't miss out.

I hate tartarus so much. I have fallen asleep numerous times grinding my way through that dungeon. The regular enemy encounters are so boring/pointless. Other than that, I think P3P is alright. I never played FES so I don't really know what I'm missing.

Aaaaaaaawwwwwwwww yisss.

Btw thought that Thomas was alone was the actual game. Would have probably jumped from excitement at that price.

There's DLC for Thomas Was Alone?

Also - do I have to pre-order Stealth Inc on the PS3? I can't seem to find it on the Vita

Edit - Benjamin's Flight huh? Debuting exclusively on Playstation? DAMN YOU SONY

The Vita version doesn't have a release date yet; though I do believe it's still cross-buy, so be sure to jump on the $7.99 price while it's still hot.
