Kaede Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 Hi everyone... I wanted to know what your thoughts were as far as whether a PSP or a Vita was a better buy for their selection of visual novels. I know that for a while, the PSP still had a better selection (especially for Japanese games that haven't been localized), but more recently, some VNs are getting ported to the Vita. Also, some PSP games can be bought digitally off of PSN and played on the Vita (but I don't know if this is the case for a lot of VNs though). Since the PSP is older, it's less expensive. But the Vita has a better display... I may even end up getting both at some point, but for now I'm trying to figure out which has more VNs accessible. Thoughts? Quote
edwd2 Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 we have near perfect PSP emulators on multiple platforms. really no point if all you play is VN. Quote
Nosebleed Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 Most VNs that come out now for portable systems are on Vita so I'd say go for the Vita because if you go for the PSP your selection of VNs will increasingly become more limited whereas if you go for the vita it will grow bigger (until Sony releases a new portable). Not to mention a lot of older PSP ports get Vita ports. Also there's PSP emulators, not much point in getting a PSP at this point in time really. Quote
Kaede Posted December 28, 2014 Author Posted December 28, 2014 Also there's PSP emulators, not much point in getting a PSP at this point in time really. But that's assuming there's an ISO file for the game, right? Quote
Nosebleed Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 But that's assuming there's an ISO file for the game, right? Yes, but chances are the games you're interested in already have an ISO out there, I have yet to find a PSP game I couldn't download off the internet. You should research that as well before making a decision. Still, even if there's no ISO for a particular PSP game you want I still say that planning for the future is better than going for older systems, it just pays off in the long run, you'll be able to play more recent stuff that comes out and with a PSP you can't because no more VNs will come out for it Quote
Heizei_koukousei Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 But that's assuming there's an ISO file for the game, right? I have never had the problem where I couldn't find an ISO for any game on any platform. Even games only released in Japanese always have an ISO/rom Quote
Vargas Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 I have a Ps vita and sometimes get cross buy/cross play games. Planning on getting a ps4 in 2015 then I can play some ps4 games on the vita and works as a controller. Quote
Kaede Posted January 2, 2015 Author Posted January 2, 2015 Thanks for your feedback guys. Looks like the Vita is a better option. Quote
