Phantasy Star: Fringes of Algo

No plans to get it here. I'm not a big handheld gamer. Plus all gaming energy right now is directed at my PS3.

I'd really like to get one, just the thought of playing UMvC3 and Street Fighter X Tekken on the go sounds to awesome to pass up, but I ended up buying a 3DS with Mario Kart 7 during Christmas instead of saving for a Vita, so I'm out of luck.

EDIT: Just found out the Vita version of SFxT was delayed until Fall so I might wait on getting this.

Maybe one day I'll buy the two handled devices (as a big fan of it !!) : 3DS when a new model will be out (sure It'll happen sooner or later !!) and maybe The Vita in 2 years.

Earlier today I was in EB Games and I ended up seeing the Vita on display and you could play with it. So from the five to ten minutes I played (Mod Nation Racers, Uncharted) here's my review in no particular order. It might be a bit messy too. Oh well.

So to start, I really liked the design, it was nice. I could easily reach all the buttons and it felt natural. Though the Vita itself is rather large, someone with smaller hands might have troubles using it. Looking at the design, I noticed two camera, dual analog sticks, a D-Pad, two triggers on top, the back sensor, and some other stuff that I didn't pay attention too.

The Dual analog sticks is something that really adds something that the PSP was lacking. They even moved a lot easier than the PSP and pushing the buttons weren't stiff at all. When I used it in game, they responded fairly accurately and it felt natural to use them. The screen was big and displayed amazing graphics, the images were a huge improvement over the previous PSPs and it is by far the best out of any handhelds I played with.

I was going to add something else, but I forget what I was going to type... haha guess I need some sleep.

but the moral of this disorganized review is... I want one, though I might wait a couple months before I get one.

Thanks for the review, Atlin. i need to try this Vita to make an opinion, but I'll wait months or years, to have a better choice of games (and like Wing Eye, an Ys to play ).

Good review, Atlin.

And, it looks like a lot of other people wanted one of the Vita's also as they appear to be doing quite well as far as sales go:

Yes, good results, even with this expensive price.
And Sony made an interesting precision ! : "actual sell-through to consumers rather than just how many units it had shipped to stores (a commonly used practice which sometimes makes sales appear stronger than they really are)."

It changes from the old "Sony way" ! (yep, I'm not really a Sony fan at all and think I'll never be, even if I possess a PSP which is very good !)

I'm a bit surprised that the PS Vita is doing well so early, but I'm not surprised that the west had a better reception than Japan, since the launch titles seem to be more appealing to the western audiences.

As for me, I'm still waiting for good titles (for me) before considering buying one.

Same as Tilinelson, and same for the 3DS (even if I tried Resident Evil : excellent !) : we are waiting for the good games !:)

I've already bought a PS Vita, and no "OMG, I need this game!" games were released yet.

See, my words are worthy nothing.
