I have Dragons Crown installed on my 3, and the 5 just shipped so I'm gonna wait for that to see how it runs.

I completely missed the Vita as a system, never so much as touched one. What are your favorite games on it? Bonus points if it's not graphically intense and doesn't take too much power.

    Soul Sacrifice Delta, it's kinda like monster hunter but with sorcerers and horrible Grimm fairytale-inspired monsters

      +1 for SSD, it’s probably one of the weirdest action games I’ve played and the story/setting is very unique, it was by far my favorite game on the vita.

    Some of these will have since release elsewhere so you may have played them anyway but I'll list off some of my favourites.

    Persona 4 Golden

    Freedom Wars

    Unit 13

    Lumines

    Disgaea 3

    Virtues Last Reward (Also known as Zero Escape, the sequel to 999)

    Valkyrie Chronicles

    Natural Doctrine

    Motorstorm RC

    Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel

    There are a few other titles that are always highly recommended such as Gravity Rush but I personally could never get into that game. I played a lot of PSP and PS1 games on mine too so my memory is a bit muddied by those but I believe these are all Vita specific games.

    I still have my Vita at home that I break out sometimes for long journeys on trains and the like. It is such a good size and shape for carrying around without being a burden!

        No worries, if you like games like Freedom Wars then Soul Sacrifice and God Eater will also be worth checking out.

        If you like Dragons Crown then check out Muramasa.

        Danganronpa is also worth having a look into.

        You also have World of Final Fantasy, Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth and Dragon Quest Builders that could interest you.

        I loved Everbody's Golf 6 if you fancy a bit of golf.

        The port of NFS Most Wanted is probably the best racing game but it is far from the best version of that game.

        I'll stop now, but have fun!

          I've been on an NFS kick and just finished all the PSP ones actually so thanks for letting me know that exists!

      There's also God of War and Metal Gear Solid ports on there, although I haven't tried them myself

        The MGS HD collection on any other platform is a better choice. The Vita versions are rather compromised, and MGS3 in particular is a challenge to play. e.g. 30fps, even more awkward controls, and the HD "collection" doesn't even include Peace Walker like how it did on PS3.

        That said, playing MG1 and MG2 on the Vita through MGS3 HD is a good experience.
