When most people think of the Vita they think of the only real PlayStation hardware to flop. But for those of that owned, and still own a Vita it’s quite possibly the best handheld ever made.

The games are amazing, the console in comfortable to hold and that OLED screen is absolutely stunning. Some games that are available on PS4 are sometimes best played on the Vita. Crypt of the Necrodancer is one example. It’s colours pop a lot more on the Vita and it’s just more fun too.

But if you haven’t played Fall Guys via remote play then do yourself a favour and try it. Fall Guys was made for the Vita. It suits the handheld perfectly for a quick session when perhaps the TV is otherwise engaged with the little spawns watching Peppa Spongbob The Builder or whatever kids watch these days.

In fact the Vita is so good and was so ahead of it’s time Sony could start producing them again now in 2023 and releasing games and it would still be one hell of a good system.

It’s such a massive shame the Vita was abandoned by Sony so quickly.

Maybe you don’t agree and maybe I just have a soft spot for “failed” hardware. I still regularly use my Wii U to this day, more so even than my Switch but that’s a story for another community.

I firmly believe Sony killed it with those proprietary memory cards. That was definitely the #1 reason why I opted for the 3DS. Sony's betting on their own stupid formats sometimes paid off, but by that time SD cards were the absolute standard everyone had tons of at home, and Sony massively miscalculated.

It sounds like a little thing, but the cost of those cards was also wild. It just felt like Sony's fuck-you to customers.

I find it odd that Vita doesn't have its own comm here, just for hacks. I never had one, but it looks like a fun system. At some point I was considering getting the PSTV at least.
