This month's issue of Play Magazine reveals the best selling Vita titles to date. And not surprising Nathan Drake’s portable adventure come out on top.
Phil writes, "The kart racer: a sub-genre in the racing game genre that generally features video game mascots and colorful cartoon characters competing in speedy races against one another for the sole goal of crossing the finish line in first place. No doubt Super Mario Kart made this sub-genre popular and put it on the map, but for every well-done Mario-branded racer, there are countless others that fall through the cracks. For this purpose SPC brings back The Tuesday 10s to list ten underrated and under-appreciated kart racers from a wide swath of developers and franchises."
I agree with ModNation Racers. I did have a good time with what I did get to play at a friends some time ago. Nickelodeon Racers though? If it’s anything like the original, that’s a hard pass…
Don't agree with Mario Kart tour as it's not underappreciated. It's just literally not great. Everyone has tried it.
On the other hand ModNation, Mikey's Speedway USA, CTR, and LBPK I agree with. Though CTR with the rereleases recently hasn't been all that underappreciated and that with Diddy Kong Racing are my all time favourite ones. I think sonic transformed is very under appreciated though.
Outside of CTR ModNation is the most underappreciated because the game was amazing and don't think it even sold a million. But the community was always pretty cool. Creating was never hard. But it could be as complex as you wanted it to be so it was for everyone. I'm still praying Sony makes a ModNation Racers sequel for PS5 as the only issue the game had imo was load times and not being 60fps
I hope they do as well, I had the game on ps3 but never spend a good amount of time with it which I kind of regret, would love to give it another go.
There's a little known kart game called Bears Can't Drift that had a bunch of potential, was fun to play, but low sales that left the dev to simply abandon the project before fixing technical issues with the game.
They really did have a good game on their hands, but they gave up before it could reach full potential.
I remember just only playing the demo of a game called speed punks that game was fun
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "In this article, I’m aiming to look at 10 of the best DLC packs on Vita – ones that offer a compelling additional experience for a reasonable price and so are well worth checking out. There were a whole load to sift through in writing this, so don’t be too disheartened if your favourite isn’t here, but do let me know in the comments what you think!"
Wccftech had the great pleasure of speaking with Tetsuya Mizuguchi at the recent Reboot event, discussing synesthesia, Tetris Effect, Rez, Lumines and more.
I remember there was talk from Sony Bend of multiplayer being patched into the game. i wonder if we will see this happen at E3...
i am in the camp that he PSV will see a bunch of bundles instead of a price cut... IF this is true, then I think UC will be one of those games.
Not bad for a game that is: $50 USD, on a new mobile platform, not made by Naughty Dog, Not promoted on TV, has a digital option ... all of that and UC:GA still managed to sell 500k in the VITA's launch window.
This is actually a really nice showing of VITA heading into its stride for retail presence. Def, more VITA's need to be sold and a stronger presence need to be made in countries where the retail infrastructure is still strong (i.e. Europe, Japan, and parts of America).
I would not mind another VITA title doing the same. Also, another Uncharted game exclusive to VITA would be a good move since iteration is easy on both the games creator and provides the gamer with something good that he/she could look forward to buying.
Happy gaming, ladies and gents! ^_^
If multiplayer is being patched into the game, it is bound to sell even more, but I´m pretty sure, the game will sell through the entire lifespan of the PSVITA anyway.
Gravity rush will sell more i think:)
With such a small install base i never expected it to sell as well as Resident Evil Revelations on the 3DS.
Vita: 2 million
3DS: 16 million
