German studio Behind the Stone released Sir Eatsalot, a 2D platformer for PS Vita, two years ago. I'll certainly be making sure I download them before they're lost to the ether.”įor many, the loss comes in the form of time. It's sad knowing that those games are a lot less likely to be discovered and enjoyed. The Vita was home to the first games I ever worked on and it's always nice hearing from people who still play those games, or recently picked them up and are enjoying them for the first time. “For me personally, it's also a somewhat sentimental moment.
It's especially frustrating given how much effort Microsoft is putting into preserving library and seeing great success with it. “By removing the legitimate option, publishers aren't leaving players with much choice. And that second analog stick is glorious.“ something that needs to happen at a publisher level, otherwise players looking to replay these games will have to acquire them from questionable sources instead of the console they're intended for,” the developer says, referencing the fact that piracy will be one of the only ways to access these games once the stores close. For example, the RetroArch multi-emulator frontend build for Vita is superior to the hobbled PSP port of RetroArch because of the Vita’s improved horsepower, with a better UI and more systems it can emulate. But the Vita is way more powerful than its predecessor, and homebrews like emulators that take advantage of those better specs will be more capable than their PSP counterparts, able to emulate more demanding systems. Custom firmware on the Vita is (for now) still bound by maximum firmware version limits, and a slightly more complex process for working with homebrews, file transfers and backups. And the PSP native library is vast and rich with great and memorable titles. Homebrew and backups are then a matter of a cheap MicroSD-to-MS adapter, a Mini-USB cable, and drag-and-dropping files and folders from a connected PC.
