What kind of online fighting ranking system doesn't penalize a player for drops? You can't build an online community with that kind of oversight in 2012. That goes for everything from FPSes to online sports as well.
I think they fixed that? It was pulled from PSN last week
pretty easy then?
My PSPgo is like my Gameboy Micro - too damned convenient to ever sell, even if it's no longer the "latest and greatest"... Having a system I can carry unobtrusively with me in a suit jacket pocket where ever I go is worth a great deal to me, and the Vita is definately NOT that kind of system. As nice as PSP games look on my Vita, I wouldn't give up my PSPgo for a Vita - the portability and convenience of a small system is just too valuable to me.
I installed 6.60PRO CFW on my PSPgo and it gives me the best of both worlds - it's "non-permanent", which means you have to run a small app you keep on your memory stick that installs the custom firmware each time you cold boot the system. It also means that after a restart, your PSPgo is running official Sony 6.60 firmware until you reinstall the custom firmware. PSN PSP, PSX and Minis games run on official firmware from the internal memory. A PC Engine emulator and a bunch of ISOs including Metal Gear Acid!, Lumines and Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep are on my memory stick. It's a great solution...
Extend would be far more comparable to its console version than CS2's PSP incarnation. UMvC3 is great on Vita, but it's not a 100% perfect port (extremely incidental control niggles that you can work around, some easily ignorable concessions to special effect and background fidelity, and a tiny bit of slowdown every now and then like in the corner of Asgard near the waterfall). I'd advise to get Extend and UMvC3 on console first, and then decide which one you'd rather play on Vita. If I had CS2 on PSP, I'd just get UMvC3 on Vita. I'm very happy with UMvC3 on Vita, so I'm a bit biased toward that game.
Rayman is cheaper on consoles. Electronic Symphony is only available on Vita. If you're in the USA, you have the luxury of trying demos for both games. They're actually probably better as digital purchases if you're planning to return to them often. Rayman has a lot of collectibles and time-trial incentives; Lumines has score incentives (provided you don't exploit the game) and can make an hour disappear quite easily. Rayman is a safe recommendation assuming you aren't super picky about your platformers. The original Lumines is widely regarded as the best PSP launch game, and Electronic Symphony is better than that one in many ways.
