Top 10 reasons to buy a PSVITA PPSV Edition 2015






  • Its still the best handheld gaming device right now 
PSVita was release 2011 and the specs might be a little outdated it is still the most powerful and capable handheld gaming device right now. Even the rise of smartphone gaming and 3ds eating up the sales for games, There's no denying that PSVIta is still the beast because it can do both graphics and serious gaming due to its built in dual analog. 




  • A lot of Games are still to be released for the Vita
Vita is dead for Sony yes. There are no more projects from Sony. It's just that Sony isn't doing good enough for the system. It's okay for them to drop development if they'll just produce mediocre games. A lot of games coming this 2016 since vita has a really strong 3rd party support. 3ds might have advantage for first party games but vita is getting the love of 3rd party support specially in Japan. 




  • Your Vita can play lots of games
Vita has a huge library of games. It’s a home of JRPG's visual novels and lots of anime action games. Hell it has a lot of fighting games which all handhelds lack. You can even play PSONE, Neo Geo, and PSP games on it.


  • It can do PS4 remoteplay 
If you own a PS4 but can't play due to the TV is currently loaded by Eat Bulaga fans from your family, You can play PS4 games remotely via PS Vita. You can play it with all your heart even when your not facing the tv. 



  • Playstation Plus 
If you’re a playstation plus subscriber, you get free games each month. Majority of titles are decent and if you own a PS3 and PS4 it's a big plus since sometimes different games are given free for each platform. Plus you get hell of big discounts for great games for up to 70% off the original price. Talk about savings! 




  • Its not That expensive
  The SLIM device starts at 7,000++ . Probably the OLED one is cheaper if you can hunt around might get it for 5k for bnew.

  • A lot of RPG games available for the System
Yeah I already mentioned that it has lots of games on item number 3. But I can't help myself by mentioning this that Vita is teh KING of JRPG's there are tons of JRPG's of the System and man this is SERIOUS-CONSOLE style RPG's not kiddie RPGS. If you love the Genre you'll get a vast library of JRPGs from PSONE to the VIta

JStars Victory + PSVITA Review





Loved how Anime rumbles during fighting scenes? It's intense and way better than drama and like everyone was hooked on what's going to happen next. I'm a big fan of how japanese peeps do story telling. It's always out of this world and unique. Like J Stars Victory +. It's not your typical fighting game but it lets you create the ultimate battles that only your imaginations can do. Luffy vs Goku anyone?  

JStars Victory + is a fighting game from Bandai Namco. The game roster consists of Anime from Jump magazine and The moment it was released a year ago I was shocked when it even had Yusuke from Ghost fighter which was one of my fave Animes way back. The character roster for this game is Huge and for me they had included the best of the best. Naruto, LuffieSeiyaHiei from Ghost Fighter, Ichigo from bleach, etc. The story starts of with a God calling the Anime heroes to fight in a tournament. The winner gets their wish granted. meh pretty basic story for this game but if you're a big fan of the animes, man you'll be happy seeing them tagged and fighting side by side.  

oh shit.....

Gameplay reminds me of Dissidia Final Fantasy on the PSP. You control the Character on 3rd person using the left stick and the camera for the right stick. Action buttons can be used for normal, mid,  special attacks, and for jumping. The left trigger is used for running while the right is used for special attacks. This is a really familiar layout and you'll get a hang of it in no time. Really, the game is really simple but it gets intense overtime. I really enjoyed the simplicity of the combat and how intense the arena becomes when I just pushed a few buttons. There are ways to power up your characters like using items and mixing cards. Also using certain character types affects your Victory buff. For example, Triumph gives you an attack boost when certain conditions are met during battle. This is a feel good game and I think fighting game pro's will bore in no time. Me, I Just want to see them battle or tag along with each other as these are my chilidhood Animes. And for that I really enjoyed watching them beat the hell out of each other. 


I hope there would be Marvel Vs Jump in the future.. 

Graphics is ok for me. Some says it's way Ps2ish and basic, but for me it's not. It is crisp and the characters really do look like their 2d Anime models. Goku really looks like Goku and so on.  
 Sound is really really good. :) Man I love games with great soundtrack. From battles, to the overworld to the cutscences. Everything is just damn good.  

One of the great things present in game is the world map. It reminds me of how RPG's used to have really cool world maps. You'll be using a ship to journey throughout the game and is upgraded constantly and eventually lead you to the  final battle. Bad thing though that you can't rotate the camera which makes somethings like enemy ships coming out of nowhere and makes evading them a bit difficult. 

Overall, I enjoyed this game and would give it an 8.5/10 the Ultimate Throwback for Otakus. For FIghting game pro's, meh I know you wouldn't agree but being able to create your own Anime battle of your dreams is a big Otaku thumbs up. If you love Anime's this one is for you.
