PS VITA and Limited Physical Release Games

[Medic_wheat]

So here is the thing with the Vita.


It's the epitate of a nitch system to me.


I seem to be having entirely to much fun tracking down these limited physical released games it has been pumping out.


From Retro City Rampage to the Corpse Part Blood Drove to that lets get physical release of Shinobi oh and let's not forget that Fairy game.


I could be wrong but even child of light can only be found as a PS Vita physical game and now (although now PSVita exclusive) Mighty No 9 (but I preordered the WiiU port as that system as well gets almost no love).

So am I missing any other Vita only releases for physical games that are otherwise digital download only?


Anyone else but for the vita also pick up these port?  Or just say F it and get the digital version

All the Neptunia games, you bitch.

All the Neptunia games, you bitch.

Weren't those originally on the PS3?  I thought the PSVita ones where just re-released ports of the PS3 games.

The PSVita ones are reworked and have much better gameplay.  The first Neptunia game had some major issues, the PSV port fixed them all though and is quite solid.  Good luck finding the Limited Edition of the first Neptunia Re;Birth game for anything reasonable, Iffy screwed the pooch hard on that release.

I might have to check them out then on the Vita. I'll probably just for go any limited edition version sof most vita games that I can't still pre order lol.


But yes I was just surprised with how many games this system seems to get that are so limited on the production run.

The Vita and WiiU are going to be very nitch systems to collect for on the after market making the games a chore to find I feel.

I mean just look at Pikmin 3 for the WiiU. That game is what? A year or two old and already hard to fish since they never did more then one print run.

I think I have all the Vita LEs that have come out so far =X  It's one of my favorite systems.

I imported the physical version of Sayonara Umihara Kawase.  It came with a little ramen lid holder Umi and a mousepad from AmiAmi!

The Operation Abyss LE just came in today and it's flippin massive.  What am I going to do with this thing?

They come with new trinkets, and more boobies.

Funny this thread started the same day Operation Abyss came out too!

The box for this thing is huge, I haven't opened mine yet since it got dinged up during shipping unfortunately so I'm contacting NISA about a replacement now.

No joke.  Did you see the mousepad for re;birth 3?  Good lawd! 

[Mzo]

Gonna rub my mouse all over that thing.  Make my cursor go where I want.

[Arkhan Asylum]

yeah i preordered th fck out that game the second it was available

ill show them a fucking REBIRTH

[SignOfZeta]

I have no idea WTF you guys are talking about. The original question that is, no clue. I know all about anime cooch.

Currently I'm playing Super Robot Wars Z3 Part 2. It's extremely good. Despite having very few new series/units on paper, much has changed since last year's game. There are loads of new attacks and what not. Very fun.

I could have downloaded it, but I bought the cart. I make the same choice pretty much always.

[vmorr]

I feel like every Vita physical release is a limited release lol

I'm a fan of the Vita though. I like JRPGs and generally odd/weird games and it does those pretty well. When it comes to collectors editions of games, I try to avoid them. I'd like to buy them for the art books mainly but it'd put me in the hole with all of the other stuff I buy here and there. I do try to catch some of the actual limited physical releases though. Recently picked up Retro City Rampage for a decent price and I just put in an order for the htoL#NiQ limited edition, because its apparently in stock? Cheaper than a standard copy of a regular game and free shipping to Canada apparently so I hope it isn't a fluke.

If anyone wants to check it out:

Man, did NOT know about he physical release of Retro City Rampage, so I'm hunting that down.

Another game with limited release is Tale of Hearts R, it's a Gamestop exclusive.  I picked up the last one of my closest Gamestop.....having been in one of those stores in several years!

That's where I bought my copy. They were in stock for quite a while, I wonder how many copies they had :s

[bartre]

so what games had the limited release so far?
i'm pretty behind

[xcrement5x]

Retro City Rampage had a run of 3300 in total. 

Neptunia Re;birth regular edition was fine, but the limited edition was poorly planned by the manufacturer and there are not many copies because it was put together using some left over items from the JP LE release.    I would guess there are maybe 1000 of that at the very most . 

I think DJ Max Technika had an LE with a small number of copies too, not sure what the numbers on that were.

[bartre]

ehhhhh, I've never been a big fan of most LEs, unless i really like the extras.

from what i've dug up there are a few limited release standard games
Child of Light
Retro city Rampage
tales of hearts R (GS exclusive)

did i miss any?

htoL#NiQ, which my copy just shipped out yesterday. It's only available through NIS' online store as far as I know.

You can also ore order the first and only NA physical release of the game corpse party blood drive. I played the previous game which I loved.

Then there is also the Shinobi versus PSVita game lets get physical edition. That one you maybe still be able to find as I have seen it used but lacking the over sized box and extra goodies it originally came with.

[bartre]

corpse party blood drive?
can't find that one anywhere for preorder outside of amazon.
is there an LE of that one?

I actually got Senran Kagura LE when i got my vita

what about LEs?
I know there's one for each of the hyperdimension neptunia games, but those never really appealed to me.
P4 Golden, but eh, doesn't seem worth it now.
HTOL#NIQ, which looks really cool.

does NISA basically do an LE of every game now?

Honestly don't knew if there will be. car or anything version. And yes I just happened to find out on Amazon and I was happy to as well


Although I do wish book of spells was included with this game. It was a fun 2D sprit game remake of the MSX version. From what I have read

[xcrement5x]

NISA does store exclusive limited editions for most of their games.  That means you can only buy them direct from them, but every preorder I've ever bought comes with free shipipng.

Plus, they are normally very good at packing stuff well, so you never get a thin box shipped in a bubble mailer that winds up crushed by the time it reaches your door. (I'm looking at you Amazon)

[Flare65]

Can any of you guys reccomend some decent PS Vita games to try?  I've kinda wanted one for a while and wanted to to give Borderlands 2 a try, so I ended up buying the Borderlands 2 bundle edition of the system.  I also backed the Bloodstained kickstarter so I'll get that when it is released.

I do want the Lumines & Dragon's Crown games, but aside from that, what are the must have physical copies of games?  I do like the system and have ordered a larger memory card so I can get into downloading games from Sony.

[bartre]

persona 4 golden, yo.
also Ys IV if you've got the handheld (fucking xseed never brought over the vita tv patch to my knowledge)

[ParanoiaDragon]

As for Retro City Rampage, I guess I'll try ebay to nab one, bummer I didn't hear about it when first released!  I did nab HtoL#NiQ yesterday on ebay for 20 bucks.

Physical games to checkout:
Freedom Wars(heard good things, but it's on my backlog)
Gravity Rush
Muramasa
Putty Squad(if you like remakes of old Amiga games)
Resistance: Burning Skies
Spy Hunter(another game in my backlog)
Tales of Hearts R
Uncharted: Golden Abyss
Ys: Memories of Celceta

[Nazi NecroPhile]

also Ys IV if you've got the handheld (fucking xseed never brought over the vita tv patch to my knowledge)

They blame Falcom for that, as they don't have their own programmers and have to rely on Falcom for everything.
