Continue-Play : I believe Brian Provinciano, creator of Retro City Rampage, hated the 1990's or loved them but probably the latter as never has a game referenced so much of my childhood, from video games to television, that I was overloaded by chuckles of distant memories flooding back to me as I run over Bill Rizer and Lance Bean of Super Contra in the A-Team van, and kill the rest of my 90's heroes on a motorbike shaped like Yoshi.
VGChartz;s Adam Cartwright: "For a console that can only really be seen as a commercial failure, the PlayStation Vita did extremely well for itself in terms of software – more than 1500 games are available for it and that figure is surprisingly still growing each week, despite the hardware being discontinued earlier this year and despite the rhetoric suggesting it’s only a good machine for indie 2D platformers and niche Japanese RPGs.
Unfortunately certain genres didn't receive any representation at all and act as glaring holes in the Vita’s software library. Some of these just aren’t particularly popular on consoles in general, such as city builders, which have been niche for years. It’s these genres I’m aiming to look at in this article – what they are (including examples of some modern entries in the genres), why they weren't represented on the Vita, as well as some suggestions about what alternatives are available to scratch that itch."
