Best Launch Games: Game Boy Advance Or PlayStation Vita?

Chris Buffa (Modojo): System launches don't normally feature several must play games. One killer app or two, but for the most part, the rest of the lineup is made up of shoddy ports and titles rushed to market that eventually tumble into the bargain bin.

Wow I wasn't expecting such a good list for the GBA. I actually thought it would be similar to the DS or the 3DS launch lineup.

For me, Vita has more launch games that i want to try, than any other handheld/console launch lineup.

The Vita certainly does have a fantastic launch line up and I've played a fair few of them. I'm not sure what the point of this comparison is though as despite the good games in the GBA launch line up it's a total no contest. Vita's line up wins by far.

If we were to compare overall games then we will have to wait and see.

game-boy advance is the greatest handheld console in history the launch titles were fantastic the vita does't have many games which are as good as the gba launch titles vita is not doing great in japan eather

GraveLord4469d ago

The only good game on the list is Tony Hawk and I don't even know how horrible the port is.

So Vita wins based on the games being more modern with better graphics and gameplay.

I still play a few of the GBA's launch games, which I think speaks volumes about its quality. The Vita has an excellent lineup as well, so I think the early adopters are going to have a great time. Personally I'm going to wait a bit until the normal launch issues are resolved, and possibly wait for a price drop. Still, I'm looking forward to owning one eventually.

IM_KINECTED4469d ago

Wow, GBA had an epic list of launch titles. As much as I feel the Vita has a great launch lineup, the GBA probably has a bit better one. I forgot some of those on that list, wish the 3DS would have launched with such a good lineup.

I was really hoping this would have made it into one of the collections. Like how they did with the GoW PSP games.

VenomUK817d ago

I recall just playing the start on PS Vita but not much more and many Uncharted fans wouldn't have played it either so this 'unknown' chapter could be ripe for an expanded version for PS5.

TiredGamer817d ago

Agreed here. Played it back on the Vita years ago, but never finished. The cramped Vita controls and the tiny analog sticks just didn't gel with me in a game where precise headshots are half the fun. It's the first Uncharted game that I haven't completed/Platinumed, and I think much of it is control related. Really wish it was PS TV compatible (natively).

I would definitely buy it if it were released as a PS4/PS5 version.

YoungKingDoran817d ago

If you ever play it again on Vita definitely turn on the gyro aiming assist, made it alot more fun to play and i ended up getting all the headshot trophies thanks to this- super accurate

TheEnigma313817d ago

I loved this game. It was like an extension of the first one. Why haven't we gotten an HD release yet?

TiredGamer817d ago (Edited 817d ago )

Lack of available dev resources and lack of a lucrative ROI probably. I think Sony has an opportunity to sell it as a separate, standalone HD remaster for like $20. Otherwise, the effort to convert a PS Vita game to the PS4/5 won't be worth their while. Unfortunate, but that's probably the only way it'd make financial sense.

deleted817d ago (Edited 817d ago )

Some of the puzzles/interactivity would have to be completely reworked. I remember having to hold the camera to a bright light. (I remember being annoyed at that part bc I was playing in bed late night while my wife was asleep next to me. Ran to the kitchen at like 3am just to get past it lol)

Also the swipe battles. I absolutely couldn't stand the final boss because the swiping felt so inaccurate and it would constantly misread gestures.

I adored the rest of the game though, and even the story! It couldn't simply just be rereleased, it needs reworking for consoles. (same reason it didn't get PS Vita TV support) The rubbing parts could still work w Dualsense/DS4 though.

I'd gladly welcome it and do hope it happens eventually!

Muigi817d ago

Glad I still have my Oled Vita.

MadLad817d ago

Sony should have tried harder to support the Vita. It ended up just a solid emulation machine that happens to have a handful of classics.

Bigman4k817d ago (Edited 817d ago )

Yeah Sony gave up on the ps vita way too fast

Bigman4k817d ago (Edited 817d ago )

I really like Uncharted:Golden Abyss on ps vita it would be dope if they remaster it for PlayStation 5

Capcom seriously dropped the ball with MvC Infinite. You can tell that it was heavily influenced by outside marketing that wanted to promote the characters in the MCU films only. The roster was lacking, the gameplay was slower than the previous game and there just wasn't a lot of the wackiness we come to expect.
