Let's wish the PlayStation Vita a happy 5th birthday today!

[Shizuka]

Released in Japan five years ago, the PlayStation Vita is the liveliest undead platform in gaming's history. Still going strong in Japan, still getting its indie and localizations in the West, with weak hardware sales, but with a huge attach rate, the Vita is the platform to beat when it comes to collectors, with companies like Limited Run Games doing a number on gamers wallets!

Love it or hate it, it's still here and it's loved by many people in our community. Let's appreciate the many great games the platform has and look forward to the future, whatever it may be! To get the thread going, here's my personal collection of physical titles (all my limited editions are behind those):

Vita never dies except when it does

Still love you vita

 

[Rellik]

Happy Birthday to the King.

 

[AmuroChan]

I love my Vita's. It's been my companion on my daily commute for the last few years and it has served me wonderfully. It's unfortunate that it never found commercial success, but it will always hold a special place in my heart.

 

[WickedLaharl]

 

[Chronology]

Love my vita and wish it could have done better. Still had a spectacular wipeout game, so it was worth it

 

[FeMui]

 

[LelouchZero]

Wow, where did the time go? I hope we see a successor like a PlayStation Vita 2!

EDIT: Oh my, how could I forget? Happy Birthday Vita!

 

[bnx]

Love both of my Vita's

Happy Birthday

[Koeta]

I still love my Vita and PSTV, even if Sony doesn't

 

[Garraboa]

Can I blow the candles? "Please, PLEASE make Sony make the rest of PS1 and PSP games compatible!" *blows candles*

Happy birthday, Vita!

 

[meppi]

Happy birthday little one.

I hear you're getting a little brother in a couple of months...






oh

 

[AlexFlame116]

Rebought a Vita a couple of months ago after my folks lost the first one. It's SO good. Now with a 64 GB cards and actually having more than one game I'm living the high life.

Oh and the PlayStation Vita was the system that allowed me to experience the amazing Persona 4 Golden for the first time. One of me best purchases ever.

Vita means life! (with henkaku obviously!)

[bomblord1]

I should get a new game for my PSTV. Any suggestions? I have Disgaea 4, TCS, TCS2, Ar No Surge, All Dangan Ronpa, Tales of Hearts, Trillion, and Freedom Wars already

 

[Shizuka]

Just added my personal collection to the OP. After all these years, there are still several titles I want to get, it's nowhere near complete, but I thought I'd share in this special date.

[Strike]

The little handheld that could. Thanks for getting me back into them again.

Happy birthday Vita! The Dreamcast of our generation.

This too. Love it just the same.

 

[bomblord1]

Persona 4 Golden

I don't currently own that but I finished it (true ending) a while ago on the Vita.

Demon Gaze.

 

[Tagg9]

Yay! We need to make a big deal about Vita's birthday, because each year could be its last.

 

[bomblord1]

Demon Gaze.

Grand Kingdom or Odin Sphere: Leifdrasir.

Played Odin Sphere back on PS2. Will look into Demon Gaze and Grand Kingdom thanks

 

[xzeldax3]

Vita is life for me. I bought it for Persona 4 Golden and stuck around for many more games.

Probably the best game on the system be sure to max out the hymnosphere .

Would love to see your impressions on that game

 

[depward]

Love my Vita. Such a beautiful handheld with some terrific games.

 

[Mass_Pincup]

Happy birthday to the GOAT handheld with the second best handheld library !

Still playing mine to this day and might import a Japanese one for Heinkaku.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Live long and prosper

My favorite Ar nosurge track. I wish we got another game from the series instead of the three or four Atelier titles we've gotten ever since.

 

[baxter2231]

Suprised its been 5 years seems like 3 maybe 4. Happy Birthday to the greatest handheld of all time (by a long shot and yes i own a 3ds its an awful mess gameboy sp was better).

Just got the platinum on jak and daxter the frame rate was playable, i dont k ow what the original was loke but it was fine.

 

[bomblord1]

My favorite Ar nosurge track. I wish we got another game from the series instead of the three or four Atelier titles we've gotten ever since.

I'm more a fan of the upbeat stuff but really because of the games focus on the power of music the whole soundtrack shone

 

[Maniel]

Love my Vita. So many great JRPGs like Persona and Trails of Cold Steel. I have a huge backlog on this thing too so I'll be playing it for many years to come.

 

[D-Man]

A fantastic little device with a great niche library. I'm currently playing Steins;Gate 0 on mine and it will still get action from me in the forms of Zero Escape: The Nonary Games and Danganronpa V3 next year!

Vita means life, of course.

 

[Talha]

Love my Vita as well got nearly 50 Games, Shizuka looks like you have well over 100 of them ! I still need to get Steins Gate Zero
