I feel that the Nintendo Switch will be the logical next step for previous Vita developers. Sony are almost certainly not going to replace the Vita, and so that leaves developers and publishers with a decision as to which platform to target next. It’s on extended life support, held up by fans happy to buy and play some very specific types of game. It’s a handheld in its sixth year of life, and it has been years since Sony has paid any real attention to it.

Needing to buy some titles twice (once on each platform) is a bother and cloud save transfer isn’t exactly foolproof, relying on manual uploads and downloads that could easily lead to data loss if you’re not careful.Īs wonderful as the Vita is, we’d be kidding ourselves if we believe it is long for this world. These factors led to the wonderful ability to play games like Spelunk and Rogue Legacy (among *many* others) with the same control method, quality of graphics and often the same save file on both your TV and away from the TV. A high resolution screen with enough power to push the calibre of game only possible on home consoles a generation earlier, a touch screen, along with traditional controls that held it in a different class to smartphones. The Vita offered something no other machine could match at the time. Many indie games with their smaller scale environments or simpler visual styles are absolutely at home on the small screen. Independent games are prevalent on Vita as well. PlayStation Vita Started Out As Heavy-hitting Machine

So many games that probably wouldn’t have warranted a full console release outside of Japan end up coming westward thanks to the Vita’s smaller development costs and the knowledge that Vita fans are very likely to enjoy Japanese games. It’s region free as well, so if a game doesn’t get an official release in your region (which can be a particularly annoying issue in Australia and Europe), you can import a copy and play it just as easily as a game bought down the road. The RPG genre works well with the platform thanks to its portable nature which allows pick up and play with instant suspension of gameplay while being just as comfortable to lay down in bed with to play for hours on end. The Vita is absolutely full of RPGs, and Japanese-specific games in general. I believe the Nintendo Switch will inherit its torch and become a haven for Vita fans. Even with this niche carved out, it’s hard to imagine the Vita is long for this world.

Despite all this, the system has thrived in some very specific areas – smaller scale independent and Japanese developed games.

It’s a complete disappointment in terms of sales, even Sony near abandoned the platform not long after launch. I have a soft spot for the PlayStation Vita.
