Guess what's the best selling game on Gamestop.com right now?
maybe $20 is the sweet spot for handheld games pricing.

Wow
much bad ass
so lightning
wow
I think it's because they actually matched EU's pricing on the game.
I think it has more to do with the genre of Tearaway then it being a handheld game. There are very few platformers that don't have sonic or mario in them that sell much of anything before they get down to the $15-$20 range.
I remember SCEA would budget price all of SCEJ's cartoony looking games like LocoRoco, Patapon, and Hot Shots partway through the PSP's life.
That's a sad and depressing truth. ):

yes it does
i had 5 bucks left from the BF4 black friday digital deal. so tearaway fro 16 bucks after tax
Cheers, getting it but dunno when I will get to play it... I promised myself not to touch anything on the vita till I'm done with P4
Similar price point didn't really help it in Europe, though.

I just played through Hotline Miami in pretty much one sitting. It was as good as everyone said it was.
Does anyone else play Crazy Market or am I only weirdo with an addiction to this? Free to Play games don't usually interest me but I find myself going back to this a few times a day lately. ~_~

It's a great contrast to the big blockbuster AAA games that dominate the NPD charts. Don't get me wrong, I'm really liking AC4, but Tearaway makes me feel like I'm pre-teen marrec sitting in front of my SNES again. Feels good man. Really shows that this type of game is still perfectly viable in the midst of our gritty and open-world gaming decade.
Ignoring that it still released at a bad time.
Be like launching Resonance of Fate near Final Fantasy XIII... oh wait, that happened. lolsega
If Tearaway came out mid this year at that price, it'd have likely sold significantly better. Hell, Vita's releases have been front and end loaded for awhile. Mid year tends to suck for retail releases.

Anyone in a PAL region bought digitally from amazon? I've bought physical games from the US with no issues but the amazon listing says this:
> Online Game Code: Currently, this item is available only to customers located in the United States and who have a U.S. billing address.
you can't tell me what not to do sony
The best part of this, is that the message is covering your waifu's face.

I'm playing through FF9 for the first time now and I'm really liking it.
It is. The only portable games I've bought at $30-$40 were Uncharted GA and Soul Sacrifice. After SS I vowed to wait until games drop to around $20. I'm not saying everyone should do this, but this is just what I've been doing. I do this with 3ds too.
Ys: Memories of Celceta is amazing. It's way better than I expected, great gameplay improvements from Ys Seven (that gameplay was already amazing), and the story is really enjoyable (it took me some hours to get into it however).
So glad I picked the LE. Great LE, hope the game sells well.
Ys and Tearaway, two new goodies, but people dont know these exists, market your exclusives, Sony!

(Once it launches in Europe Im gonna purchase a digital copy (it will launch in Europe, right?)

I was playing Crazy Market a lot until I decided to cheat the system and set my Vita's clock ahead to get more coffee cups. I then updated my Vita's firmware which fixed the time, and so now I have ages before the next free coffee drops, haha.
It took me until my 2nd run of IX to fully appreciate it. Roses of May/loss of me is one of my personal favorite FF tunes.
If Square decides to go full out with all these remakes, I'd love to see IX get some love.
comming to a iOS/Android device near you
Probably because they're too lazy to do some actual promotion for these games.
That Final Fantasy VII not all being in Capital letters would drive me crazy. Lolyou can't tell me what not to do sony
so LIMBO is no longer Cross-Buy?

I contributed to that! My copy shipped today.Guess what's the best selling game on Gamestop.com right now?
Yeah NOPE. If you think the Vita version of that game or the sequel are playable, then our tastes differ sharply.
I'd.... still be skipping it lol.
I am a little surprised sony isn't pushing it harder though. The characters have gotten good responses and the vita needs some sort of mascot, the tearaway people seem perfect for that.

Had a 10$ credit on Amazon so I went and grabbed Tearaway. Couldn't justify it for 40$ when I read it was really short. But I can for 10$.
Alright...let's see what I'm missing....

What was wrong with the first one? I played through like a third of it and thought it was playable. I've heard the second one has some major issues, but Sigma + seemed to run fine.

Is there anything on Vita like the 3DS's Activity Log that tracks how much you played a certain game?
Dramatic input delay and framerate lulls which make it functionally unplayable compared to any other version. That's ignoring aesthetic issues.
Nope! Wish there was. Some games tell you playtime anyway, but yeah not as awesome.
Toro is the true mascot of PS.
Sony just needs to put him more out in the spotlight in the west.
Hm, I'll have to replay it. I don't really remember the framerate issues. To be fair though,
I haven't played the console versions.

Why don't you name the folder on the top right "Spin Offs" or something along those lines instead of what you have now?

OK I'm considering doing the OT for Toukiden, just gotta watch some gameplay vids to get an idea of what it's about.
For now though, feel free to get PS Vita wallpapers of your favouritewaifu husnbando from the game's main site:

That old BS will never get away, will it?
My plat on NGS+ tell you otherwise. NGS+ is fine.
Thanks for the heads up. I'm not going to spend 30 minutes trying to figure out what to pick.
@VanWinkle, nice physical collection, I had you down for a digital man though.
@Shinriji, very nice.
Anyone made any soundshapes levels? Feel like giving some a try, was making one yesterday, so easy to make something simple. Although mine is a bit hard at the moment. Still needs work.
-Made mine a bit easier but still adding more to it, very short atm. Love how you can set up nice beats using the objects themselves, not relying on notes so much, although they're pretty easy too. Nice for rewarding tough platforming sections. Forgotten what most of them do though and with no descriptions I might just run through the game again.

I guess Mm were getting port-begged too much

What about NGS2+. All the bad press has kept me away from the game.
Never played it, bro. Played a lot on the PS3, though. Awesome game. I trust the OmegaZero review of the vita version, that there is some serious slowdown in some hectic moments and poor resolution in others, but completely playable.
Thanks. Guess I will try to hold out for PS+ and or deep discount.
Having played a game to completion doesn't prove anything one way or the other. You may have enjoyed it, and I own the game as well, but how either of us feel doesn't change any of the technical realities. "That old BS" implies a lot about a broader effort to discredit the game.
Hoo boy. I wash my hands of this, particularly since you're now recommending a game you haven't even played (and I also own).
As Shinriji mentioned, NGS2+ is playable if you can ignore the various framerate drops during large battles and the constantly changing resolution (which mainly occurs during finishing moves and fights with large enemies).
Another issue the port has is that unlike NGS+, NGS2+ is literally impossible to Platinum unless you're a robot due to the removal of co-op for tag missions.
EDIT: I should mention that both NG Vita ports run at 30fps, which does affect how you play the game to varying degrees, but I still had my fun with both. If you need 60fps to play character action games, you won't enjoy the ports at all.

Some games do show how long you've played. When you load up the save file, there's a little i next to it. Hit that, and it'll show you something like this.
Speaking of, I really need to finish Totori before getting too far into my Meruru playthrough.
Do you like taking photos? If so, digital (1393MB). Very good camera app and the [level] bookmarks make it easy [to jump between them and go sight-seeing]. Not to mention the levels are a joy to play through, though there isn't a buttload of them.
Otherwise, physical, something you can load up and enjoy every now and then.
Top of the page list of stuff:
Buy Tearaway
Buy Terraria
Someone play the DBZ demo and let us EU folks know how it is
Eufloria HD soon, excellent strategy game - simply presented, relaxing visuals, tense gameplay that the nature of is easy to understand.
