How to Download PSP Titles to PS Vita

PS Vita will begin making its way into gamers’ hands in just a few short days! Day one Vita owners will have many, many games to choose from, with 25 titles announced for launch on February 22nd. Actually, make that 26 — Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus is now a confirmed launch title as well.

[Emilio_Estevez]

That is a large list.

[rezzah]

I`m glad it is, even though I`m keeping my PSP.

However I wanted to get Corpse party really bad, but memory card has little left. Doesn`t make sense buying a new one.

The first edition will allow me to play it on my Vita.

As i see it, it is best to keep the PSP for the UMDs, and anything digital get it for the Vita.

[JaredH]

I just find it funny that the two downloaded games I do have, LBP and Modnation Racers, aren't included. None of the four games you could get for free from the psn hack are on the list actually.

I could see why Modnation isn't included because a new one's a launch title but they're all Sony published titles so why wouldn't they include the other ones?

Hopefully they add them in the future at least.

[badz149]

I have both of those games too from the Welcome Back and worry not, they both work on Vita. I have them on my Vita right now and play them constantly while waiting for other Vita games to be available in my country.

[f789790]

Yeah the list was for the Vita's launch games.

You should be able to play whatever PSP games you have on the Vita.

[MaxXAttaxX]

It was clearly stated in the article.

Did you skip everything and went right to the list or something? lol

[JaredH]

"Even better, if you’ve already downloaded a compatible PSP title, you can download it directly onto your PS Vita at no extra cost (please note that some limitations do apply)."

I thought the word compatible meant only the games listed would work with the Vita and if you guys say this isn't true then that's good. AND YES I DID READ THE ARTICLE BEFORE I POSTED. It's actually not clear and doesn't state something like "all psp download titles are compatible." I read every article I post in not like some people...

[wolokowoh]

@JaredH Look at comment #9. It's just the intial list. Most likely all of them will be/will eventually be compatible. Those are just the confirmed ones or the intial list to be expaned on. I rememember my 80gb PS3 I got Christmas 2007 didn't play DMC3 Special Edition and a year later I tried it and it played jut fine. Sony are good about slipping these things into updates and not telling you.

[MasterCornholio]

I hope they get PSX games working on the Vita soon because I'm dying to play FF7 on the go.

XperiaRay

[blumatt]

Yeah I'm dying to play Final Fsntasy 8 on the go on my Vita. Squall/Rinoa love story and the main story keeps me coming back to that game.

[Game4life]

all the downloadble final fantasies on the go. ftw

[Drithe]

Wait! Wait! Wait! I thought the PS1 games COULD play on the Vita. You are saying they can't?

[Redempteur]

they will ..just not at launch

[Ulf]

Sweet. I have about 10 games to download on day 1, it looks. 275 older PSP games at launch is.. pretty impressive.

I'll be downloading more like 20 games, if PS1 games are also available -- the article doesn't mention them specifically, but I'm guessing FF1-9 (excepting III) will be ready to go from the outset.

[KUV1977]

It's kind of funny that a lot of the big hitters are not in that list: Little Big Planet, Modnation Racers, Gran Turismo. They probably don't want to encourage people to buy the PSP versions when the VITA versions are around the corner. I don't care much for older games anyway with the exception of both God of War Titles that are luckily among the available titles.

[GhostofHorizon]

Power Stone offers some mindless fun.

There are also bunch of good RPGs.
I probably won't be picking much up, if a Naruto Ultimate Ninja game jumps on there, might give that a go.

Though yeah, I'd much rather focuse on new Vita games, AR stuff looks interesting as well.

[KUV1977]

This list here ( http://translate.google.nl/... ) suggests that the titles not in that list are still working... Maybe not buyable but from a previous download-list. I'm not going to buy older games but i will redownload already bought ones and the ones i received as promotional titles for my PSPgo.

It's great that there are 3 AR-games free in the package, plus in Berlin i also get Uncharted, Wipeout and Little Deviants for free to my console. Only problem is the included card is only 4GB. That holds Uncharted OR the other two games. I really need a 32GB card but they are sooo expensive and not even available in Europe at all. Will have to import.

[ThanatosDMC]

Order from Newegg.

[Pixel_Enemy]

Socom Fire Team Bravo 1 & 2, Final Fantasy Crisis Core...

^Also not on the list..

[skrug]

since FF CC isn't on psn...

this list is composed of games that u can download directly from the PSV, other games are supported if u download from ps3.

[MaxXAttaxX]

They'll keep adding PSP games every few weeks.
These are just the first batch of games available on the Vita on launch day SO FAR.

[Neo Nugget]

This list reminds me of how badly we need Crisis Core on the Playstation Store, especially now that we're moving away from UMDs.

Please? :(

[Pixel_Enemy]

This was my EXACT thought

[BISHOP-BRASIL]

I had FFCC on UMD and it was robbed in college, while I was playing futsal ("indoor soccer") with some friends.

My luck was that they took the PSP pouch from my backpack (which were in a corner, so anyone passing by could had got it), but a friend in the bleachers was playing GoW:CoO in my PSP, so they didn't got it. Unfortunately Castlevania X Chronicles and FF: Crisis Core were there (now I only have the cases).

I've been waitiing ever since for it to appear on PSN, let's hope it appears now, I'm yet to finish it.

[wolokowoh]

and Birth By Sleep. Square needs to get the rest of their PSP library digital or give us some Vita remasters. Still waiting on Type-0 to be localized.

[Kyosuke_Sanada]

No Coded Arms or Rengoku..... :(

[growlancer7]

This list will likely be updated weekly.

[RevXM]

There is a lot of PSP games on the PS STORE that isnt on that list? or does the VITA got its own store or something?

Would be freakin weird if the vita isnt actually PSP compatible but can only play slightly modified PSP games?
Im hoping it is fully compatible and that I can download the games I want via ps3 for now until they show up for the VITA store if it uses a separate store.

Also they need to get the PS one compatibility and full REMOTE PLAY funtionality ready ASAP. :)

[topgun33]

I hope that they add Resistance, Gta Liberty City Stories, Vice City stories, silent hill origins, silent hill remake, and killzone soon. I have all these downloaded on my ps3 ready to port to the vita

[spok22]

NO MGS PEACE WALKER???

[Ace_Pheonix]

...NO METAL GEAR AT ALL!?! I really want a memory card with Portable Ops, Peace Walker, both the Ac!d titles, MGS1 and the digital graphic novel loaded on it. Then with the release of the HD collection everything will be functional on the Vita aside from MGS4. Nothing could be better...

[DigitalAnalog]

Kojima is re-releasing a unique version of the HD collection to the Vita. Naturally Peace Walker (or maybe Portable Ops) inclusive along with back-touch controls.

Get with the program...

TRANSFARRRRRRIIING!

[TheFirstClassic]

I hope Portable Ops becomes compatible, I already own it digitally.

[Ascalon94]

where is MGS?!

[jujubee88]

Kinda weird since the Japanese version of MGSPW works.

Expect the list to grow in the immediate future.

[TheFirstClassic]

I hope they add dual analog support to Monster Hunter because I will definitely get it if they do.

[spok22]

You can :)

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[TheFirstClassic]

Sweet! Definitely be getting that once I get my Vita. + bubs for helpful.

[solidt12]

so you just do the same thing you do on the psp and ps3

[MySwordIsHeavenly]

Games I would download to my Vita:

- Infected
- MGS: Peace Walker
- KH: Birth By Sleep
- Patapon (all)
- Loco Roco (all)
- Lunar: Silver Star Harmony
- Twisted Metal: Head-On
- Silent Hill: Shattered Memories

[FOXDIE]

Piracy is an option ;)

[Horny]

I want to play snes games on the vita like I was able to on PSP. As for piracy on vita games, hell no, it almost killed the PSP. I don't have problem paying 30 to 40 bucks on a good game and supporting the developer and guarantee future suppport.

[Optical_Matrix]

I think I'm gonna go for Ys Seven as it's only £11.99 on the UK Store. Will reach for ZHP somewhere down the line but not right away. Already spending £350 on the Vita launch. Don't need another £23.99 on top of that XD.
