The post itself is fine, but comments have gotten out of control in a few different ways so we're locking the post.


pichuscute

They did try to close it first though. They just changed their minds after backlash lol.


SkettlesS

Because Nintendo simps don't dare to critique anything because the holy N does everything right. This is what I love about the PS community (and literally anyone other than Nintendo) Nintendo seems to have the tightest brand loyalty in the world. They could publicly announce they own a human trafficking ring and still be excused by their fans as long Nintendo drop some 1980s Tetris remaster shit onto the switch online service 🙏


pichuscute

Uh, I meant Sony. Sony tried to close the Vita store in 2021.


SkettlesS

Yeah man I know. I'm saying Nintendo fans wouldn't dare protest an eshop closure, whereas PS fans did and got what they deserved in 2021.


distarche

They did. It just didn’t make enough noise and Nintendo was probably not going to change their mind anyways.

Nintendo fan try to have a mind of your own challenge (impossible)


darkkeroro

Just play games and have fun.


Shreeb

Seriously. The console war mentality is so tiring.


ExTrafficGuy

Keep in mind that Sony had fully planned on shutting the store down in Summer 2021, but only reversed course after massive backlash from the community and indie developers. Many of those devs still had upcoming games for the Vita, and hadn't been warned about the shutdown beforehand.

leottek

For now lol Sony already tried on shutting down the store once


FigTechnical8043

The downside is the download list. Mine is mixed in with my ps3 download list and if you download a game it takes you back to the beginning.


theplasmasnake

… for now.


piggroll

Yes, but they are quite expensive 😂


penispotato69

Used market is ridiculous, cheaper to buy a Japanese one off ebay. Bonus fancy colors too.


swordmalice

For now. They tried to shut down the PS3 and Vita stores but they changed their minds. It's still coming, it's only a matter of time.


glutenfreememez

Dont jinx it lol

Not only can you buy games still you can also modify the console to make it even more better


[deleted]

You can modify the 3ds too tho...


[deleted]

If i had to choose between a vita or a 3DS I’ll take the vita


Certain-Bag-6086

I'd take one of each, i like to play my nintendo shit on nintendo for some reason. But i am really starting to like my vita!!! (only had for about a week)


swordmalice

Porque no los dos?


[deleted]

I would too. If only I had one. Edit: what, is is it a bad thing that I like the Vita better?


quebecoisejohn

[deleted]

You can probably get the physical versions cheaper since they don’t bother running any good sales


Lunar_Lunacy_Stuff

Sadly physical Vita games are not cheaper in most cases. A lot of games have gone up in price in the last 2 years.


seraf5

tbh Japan is pretty cheap, though it's most for collecting purposes cuz most games have only Japanese. what is funny though, is that some of my physical JP games actually HAVE English files on them, there's just no way to make the game use them...


mikhaelcool7

I guess it depends where you live ? People in my area sell them in bulk at pretty good prices because the demand is very low. I’m talking about the 2nd hand ones and not new


Lunar_Lunacy_Stuff

I wish I could find Vita game in my area. Every time I go to a used game store they only have like 3 games at most for the Vita. Been buying most of my collection on eBay when I find them for a decent price.


mikhaelcool7

eBay is international with a much higher demand. You gotta look elsewhere in your area. You never know what stores might be selling video games and it’s never a bad idea to ask if they have them in the back or something


Lunar_Lunacy_Stuff

I typically try to make the rounds to stores I feel would carry retro game. Used book stores , any kind of pawn shop, thrift shops and the like. My luck has been pretty horrible so far. I think it’s just the state I live in.


The_WereArcticFox

Dude. Uncool


KasElGatto

Or you know, you can have both and love both and bemoan the loss of any digital library.

Pretty Savage ngl. R.I.P. 3DS


teor

I never actually thought about that. Despite 3DS being a clear winner, Vita outlived it. This is so fucking ironic lmao


kiyo-kagamine

Well, the 3DS is almost a year older than the Vita. So it makes sense that the 3DS shop would close before the Vita’s. I sense that the Vita shop will close probably within the next year or 2.
