Thanks!
I think the PSP thread here on NeoGAF does a fine job covering them, and I'd rather keep the list focused on native Vita titles.
It is going to sell like shit forever, but for once we can have a optimistic thread title.

According to the co-developer's Facebook page they had problems: "Due to diverse production issues, the outcome is smaller than the amount of efforts spent".

I like these.
We need a hype E3 thread title while maintaining the literary class of this months title. lol
Vita PSN Game & Service Thread | June 2013 | Great E³xpectations
I approve the Great Expectations Title
I play it 99% on the Vita. I think it's just a fantastic handheld game, and it looks and plays so damn well on it. That's why it guts me so much that Ratchet: FFA sucks so bad on the Vita. There is really no excuse why it runs as poorly as it does.
All Stars is pretty much a perfect port of the PS3 version, with only a slight hit to graphics. Framerate and controls are perfect.
my vote goes to this one

This is it.
It's pretty bad. I've been contemplating putting Toto on ignore. And I NEVER put anyone on ignore.
Almost bought another Vita game today. Then I remembered that I still haven't finished P4G and AssCreed and didn't. I felt proud lol
Now if only I could do that on my PC...

I got Virtua Tennis 4 in a fire sale for 1.25 euros (!).
This game runs AMAZING.

Still no june thread?
I love how totori+ makes fun of its limitations, like when totori screams "barrel" at the omnipresent barrels lol
I noticed that the english dub is nowhere near as complete as the japanese one, the english one voice only certain events, while the japanese one voices everything, i like to understand what characters say, but i want everything voiced

I'm pretty sure NISA only dubs as much as they're required to pass SCEA's submissions, lol.

The barrel thing is a long running thing in Atelier games. So are the punies and Hagel, Pamela shows up in a lot of them too.
English dub is only partial, another reason why I preferred the Japanese VO.

Crazy me would prefer an option to have dubs to fall back to Japanese rather than have scenes unvoiced. Never going to happen though.
Look at this again
and this
this is bad, jaggies-fest,bad shadows, low polygon count, very short draw distance they're trying to hide using fog (like something on N64), and just ugly looking.
Yeah I can see the jaggies in those shots, are they upscaled? I haven't noticed anything like that in gameplay videos, and I really like the art style myself so i'm not too worried about it. The sound effects do make the game super cute, I can't resist it.
For some reason i like this lol.

It's a solid game and I enjoy it, but I'm not quite feeling it the way I did with previous VT games. I think the series needs a bit of a reboot. Then again at the same time I wouldn't want them to make the series turn away from its arcade and really accessible roots. I certainly don't want to see the series turn in to Top Spin, but some major changes need to be made. Like I said it's a very enjoyable game though and I'd imagine especially so if it's your first VT game. It just hasn't gripped me the way VT1 or 3 did. But yes, it does run very well on Vita.

Care to elaborate? I only played the VT on Dreamcast and this one on Vita. Never played any Top Spin. So I'm not sure what you mean really.

Top Spin is to Virtua Tennis what Gran Turismo is to Need for Speed. One is more arcadey and accessible and the other is a better simulation of the sport with more depth.
This is more a personal problem to be honest. I should elaborate. I am NOT saying VT4 is a weaker installment in the franchise. It isn't. I'm just personally not feeling it as much because VT isn't new anymore. It just hasn't evolved all that much, and I think the series could use some gameplay advancements that have more depth, without going all the way to Top Spin territory. Don't take this the wrong way either. VT4 does have differences in gameplay to VT3, but it still feels like same old Virtua Tennis and the gameplay does feel a bit too simplistic at this point.
It's a tough thing for Sega to overcome. The appeal of the series is the easy to pick up and play arcade nature and I wouldn't want them to change that too much, but at the same time without major changes and more gameplay depth added the series is inevitably not going to be as fun to me as previous games. Like I said, maybe it's just a personal problem but even them I do enjoy the game a lot.

I like what you did with it. I tried to come up with a similar pun, but Great Exp3ctations seemed like just a slightly worse idea than having Electroplankton make the thread.
Did the same.

It's an Atlus game, so expect to be waiting a while for a UK/EU release. :/
I might import, but I'm worried it'll get DLC.
Is DLC region locked? As in DLC from the EU store wouldn't work with an imported copy of the game?
The gameplay of Virtua Tennis has turned to utter shite since number 2. The Vita version is outrageously unrealistic and (shockingly) not in ways that actually make the game more fun.

I pre-ordered Dragon's Crown from a Gamestop in the US. Maybe I should feel guilty.
FF9 is a slow game on its own (de)merits. But yeah, PSOne games on the store are EU versions unless otherwise specified (see Resident Evil 3 and a few others). That means slowed down and with messed up aspect ratio (but you can correct that manually on the Vita, although I think that might cause some graphical unpleasantries).
Aw that's too bad. I got all excited when I saw people pre ordering. I'll just have to check Amazon every so often. Who normally publishes Atlus games in Europe? Is it Deep Silver? I think they published Catherine.
I'm playing 9 right now and it is honestly really slow. But I think it was always that way, it just seems worse because I haven't played it in years. Plus I don't think it looks great, I turn Bilinear filtering off because it just looks blurry with it on. I'll stick with jaggies, on a positive note, i'm on disk 4 and don't even notice the issues any more. After a few hours it's totally fine, and a great game.
Can anyone see the ps4 remote play with the vita being not that great? As the vita has no clickable sticks and is lacking shoulder buttons, I can see it limiting the effectiveness of the remote play function for a lot of games. The backtouch screen is not adequate enough to simulate those buttons.
Also picked up VT4 for £4; great game.

Virtua Tennis has always been unrealistic. Maybe you should go back and play the original VT. VT4 really isn't much more unrealistic than previous games other than the new super shot mechanic. VT3 was actually far more unrealistic to be honest. Besides if you want a realistic simulation Tennis game that's what Top Spin is for.
I pre odered it on the US Amazon store.
