Episode 198: Viva la PS Vita

Author: Matt Storm and Gen Moonen September 26, 2025 Duration: 1:07:21

First released in 2011, the PlayStation Vita was Sony's second dedicated handheld. It's lifespan was spent existing simultaneously as a portable companion to both the PlayStation 3 and 4, direct competition to the Nintendo 3DS, and a gaming device in conversation with mobile gaming at the time

Too many fronts may have driven the Vita low through market attrition, but it was not without quality titles and unique experiences. 

Matt & Geoff are joined by James Galizio of RPG Site to discuss niche genres, memory cards, and the PlayStation TV
