name me 5 good vita games not name persona 4 golden

Some people like it for the same reason they like the Switch now, since there were a bunch of good ports and stuff. But if I’m excluding stuff like Spelunky and Luftrausers and all that, I guess... hmm.

- Frobisher Says- Lumines Electronic Symphony- There Was A Ridge Racer On The Vita But I Remember It Being A DLC Nightmare- Maybe Phantasy Star Nova Was Good, But It Wasn’t Released In English So I Don’t Know- TxK Exists And I Remember Not Liking It All That Much But Hey, Jeff Minter Is Extremely Cool

Pretty definitive, really.

Is there any truth in that Nintendo went with the dual screen format for their handhelds because they wanted to discourage third party cross development between their handheld and the PSP?

Haven’t heard that before. Seems like kind of a stretch.

Do you consider sticks to be a necessity for fighting games?

Not really, but it depends on the game.

Why are there no baseball games for Xbox anymore?

2K’s games weren’t doing particularly well, so they stopped making them, I guess. Not sure if they had or still have some kind of “exclusive third-party” rights to MLB. Sony, obviously, still has its rights to make The Show every year. Seems like the people who truly need a baseball game are just buying Sony platforms and getting The Show.

Did Activision jump to PlayStation for Call of Duty exclusivity stuff because they're the lead console now, or did Microsoft choose not to renew the deal they had because it isn't the franchise it was 5 years ago?

Maybe Sony showed up with more money than Microsoft was willing to pay? It’s probably a little bit of everything, but I don’t know.

I personally know about a dozen people who've made the switch from the 360 to a PS4. It's kind of crazy how fast they were willing to give up that ecosystem with the achievement points, friends list and everything else. This seems to be the case for a lot of people jumping into this next wave of consoles, even for you guys in the media. Does that stuff not matter at all? I thought it would play a much bigger factor in people's decision.

We're at a point where people keep so many different friend and follow lists on so many different social networks that building up a brand new one isn't actually that difficult. People just post their new account name to Facebook or Twitter or a message board and away they go. And that's really the only lasting thing that matters when going from the previous generation of consoles to this one.

Have you been making a conscious effort to reduce you time spent on twitter? I feel your tweets aren't as witty as they used to be.

I don't know that it started as a conscious effort, but as the interactions there grow more and more noxious and disjointed, I find myself way less interested in using the service. I have better things to do than attempt to argue with people who are only interested in attacking others and don't want to actually learn anything that might change their world view.
