10 Reasons You NEED A PS Vita In 2023 

Better than the ps5 remote play handheld 😂

I like how every PS Vita in “insert year” video’s thumbnail displays an image of a game on the device that the device can certainly not play.

I bought a psvita in 2020 and upgraded it whit a 512gb sd and cf and boy do i not regret it. I love the psvita and the comunity is still so alive tons of homebrew games out there.

“I’ll pay retail, but I’m not paying resell” one of the best quotes I’ve ever heard. 💯

Also surprisingly the Vita has a great battery life... i played for like 2-3 hours straight and the battery was in the high 60s.. lol

I'll never understood why Sony always tried to push their own memory card, I think a lot of their products bombed out because of that

I just started to look for a deal on one. Loved my PSP & Vita! I can't wait to get one again! The Clear/Crystal/Transparent custom shells/cases for them are sick too!

I've been resistant to modding my PS Vita because I didn't want to mess it up or cut it off from Sony's ecosystem, but man seeing all this stuff I could be adding on and doing with it...I think I will go ahead and do it

The most underrated handheld ever made! Still packs a punch in 2023. Whats even better is that the community is still porting more games from PC & Android. Magnificent!

Great video 🔥 I have the Sonic Mania port on my Vita it's so good, amazing device, Sony let it down but the community bought it back to life, also best d-pad around especially the slim model 🙂

On adrenaline settings you can also use "Save states" so if you get stuck on a part of the game or if u play Resident Evil where you need "ink ribbons" to save the game, u can go to "settings" tap the "R" button and you can create your own save files and load bavk into them whenever you feel like it

bro your the reason i got a vita thank you for helping me see the light

I can't help but compare my Vita from 2014 to my current Switch Lite. In terms of build quality, size and ergonomics the Vita makes the Switch look like a Game Boy Color.. I think a lot of games on Vita even have way better graphics like Killzone Mercenary. Too bad it didn't catch on.

Shows a picture of spider man 2 then doesn't mention anything in the video

man you really changed my mind thanks a lot👍

What a legend man, thank you for this great video!

Sub earned. Love my Vita. Using PKGJ is a godsend. Best handheld. Switch who? Never heard of her.

I remember importing the original psp from Japan months before it got released any where else. Anyone that layed their eyes on it had a serious look of envy. It just looked incredible and ahead of its time. The VITA didn't give me the same feeling. I have 2 of them but, I don't know what it is about it but give me psp or 3ds any day. Wipeout 2048 was the best thing about it for me.

I have two vitas, one oled and one black slim, which I modded. I play on that thing for years and have sooo much stuff on it, it has the best screen ratio, weight and overall design for a handheld device!

Buying one soon!

Great video. I recently just bought a vita and am loving it

Finally a video from someone who's a scholar in the subject

I currently have a mod PSP 3000 with PSP, PS1, SNES, NES, N64, and Sega Emulators. Next, I gonna get PS Vita 2000 and mod it for PS2 Emulator and Vita games. Thanks for the info! I have been always wanting a PS Vita when it first came out for years! Can't wait to get one! I'm a go to my local retro game store to find one!

U deserve way more subs than u have. U got some nice content and your good at this

Dug my vita out of the closet recently and modded it. I been playing it more than my switch now, it's just so cool when modded. ❤

Great video very informative really do appreciate it keep up the good work

PS vita still lives on despite the discontinued official support. You may want to check my video where I tested if my 9-year-old PS Vita is still working after its long slumber.

It is an amazing console and despite of what some say, there are a lot of good games for it, even without hacking it. The memory card is an issue, though. If you wanted to play PSP, this is the way!

This was so helpful!

I love that Theme you have for the PS Vita

I have tested almost all this stuff and the man is'nt lying

As much as I enjoy playing the Nintendo Switch from time to time, the console on handheld can be a bit too big for my hands and carrying it around on trips or something is a bit of a hastle. After seeing all the things the PS Vita can do, especially once you hack/jailbreak it, it honestly feels like one of the best handheld consoles even for today's standarts. I am thinking to buy a used PS Vita for myself, because the more I watch these PS Vita videos, the more I feel like I want one for myself. I will be flying to Germany with my family this August for a 5 day trip and maybe I will try find a PS Vita in Berlin, but if I can't find one, then I will buy a used PS Vita from Japan once I get back from my trip.

I have 2 slims. Going to mod the 2nd one too. Love my Vita! Best purchase ever!

Honestly, you made me want to get one again. Had one when they dropped, but just wasn't a lot I could do with it, but this has taught me a lot. I'm impressed with your knowledge of it, and thank you. You got my Sub.

That's it you've earned my respect with that jak and daxter collection there

Corrections PKGj: It does not offer all Vita games, but a large portion of them. Ports: None are PS2 ports. They are mostly PC ports (e.g. GTA3, GTA VC) or Android ports (e.g. GTA SA). Hence you have to have the game files from the PC versions or Android versions respectively for those games.

I needed this video after dropping $125 seems incredibly well worth it!

Keep The Vita vids Coming Bro !

I just love how pocketable it is. Very slick

Ah clickbait thumbnails are back on youtube

I've seen PS Vitas online sell in good condition for around $100, if not less if imported from Japan. At that price there's literally no other handheld like it. It's such a powerhouse

Great video

This video is actually such gold, wow! This might be a STUPID QUESTION but guys how do I mod my PS Vita? I have actually been so disappointed SONY with letting PS Vita down like that, I am glad I bumped into this video.

i envy people can enjoy old games, new games change my standards

This would've been the beast of its time had it more AAA games to play

i'm glad that i had my vita since middle school day's because now a days they're hard to get or due to their price but once u get one ? you'll get your money's worth.

Just ordered one. Pretty stoked.

Easiest homebrew of my life, just follow the written guide and theres literally 0 problems. Been having a blast being able to access the entire vita and psp library, next up gonna do my 3ds.

wow this is like the 50th video of why the vita is still good in 2023.. i see em popping up every year but this year its just insane lol

I modded my vita but haven't touched it as late, this made me pull it back out.

loved the ending soundtrack, great video, only suggestion is your voice kinda goes flat, maybe pull the mic away a bit or mid it diff love the video tho and miss my old vita, im bouta get another

I got a Steam Deck, 2 Switches, Gaming Rig but the Vita weirdly is still my most played.

Bro just unlocked a memory.. I totally forgot about Tomba!! Now I need to do this to my vita!! 😂

Wow God bless the modders I'm definitely getting one now

The size is just awesome 👌

Its crazy the Vita can emulate a dreamcast kind of well.. That's. Crazy

i just fixed my vita. cant wait to grind all games again

This was my dream since I was a kid! I'm going for this as soon as I can afford one. It will make my child self happy

Let’s get this man to 100,000 subs people great info keep it up brother 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

Hey bro!! I love your vids and what you're doing with and for the community. If you do, what screwdriver(s)do you use for your ps Vita and psp?? I'm having a hard time finding the right one that'll work for them Also i love that you mentioned how you can load psp games from the regular screen instead of loading up adrenaline. Its cool that it can do that but i feel like its just using too much battery to run one os into another just to play games that also use up battery.

Thanks for this! I ended up picking up a mint condition PS Vita slim (white glacier) and the original OLED Vita (for collection sake). No regrets so far!

Got a pristine PCH 1000 from China! It's a pleasure playing my old nes and snes classic on this console.

They should make a bigger screen version of this amazing handheld console !

If you're only into retro games, then maybe. But I'd much rather get a handheld PC instead.

Cara Seu vídeo ficou top Tenho um PS Vita, e tem coisas que eu não sabia iqe podia fazer. Obrigado pelo video

Omfg the FFX soundtrack bro..thank you

Love my OLED vita. GBA games look beyond perfect

The vita is still really nice.. the only thing I hate is the bubble system... the psp did it so much better

This is one of.the kost motivating video to buy ps vita, I have decided.thanks

This sounds good. I have a ps vita sitting around just collecting dust, and the good thing is, i do have the sd adapter as well.

About the free vita games that you can download, do they still still have trophy support?

You need to give RetroFlow a try..it with RetroArch adds a lot to the Vita. I also suggest folks really give the 3G model a second look...as one can remove the 3G card and replace it with a PSVSD...so you can basically double your storage. I got 2TB of storage on mine thanks to both the SD2vita & PSVSD both having a 1TB microSD in them.

Awesome bro.....I'm going to go get one Awesome 💯

Still play mine all the time. Way ahead of its time.

I’m thinking about selling my series x or ps5 and get a vita!

Most of these are things you can do on any Android phone with a gamesir X2 any other gamepad, but yeah it's cool to see old Vita still have some interesting thins to mess around

I just got the PS Vita today and it's fun ❤❤ although I only have two games but I'm going to put more I'M EXCITED

About downloading "free" games. I agree to not pay resellers. But most of the games still are accessible from the officiel PS Store on the Vita. If possible, I tend to buy them there to support the devs ;)

No, Jr.. It didn't sell well because of lack of support, no 1st party games. It was a gem in Japan because it was mainly a JRPG console and nothing else. Plus, everything else was too expensive, like the memory card. They didn't take regular micro SD cards but rather their own redesign with a hefty price tag. It was more greed and lack of support that dug the grave for the best hand held ever created. Damn Shame, too. No Nintendo or Sega or whatever other hand held ever released came close to how good the Vita was

It's just hard to justify getting a PSVita unless you're really into PS1/PSP/Vita games. From what I understand, the Vita actually struggles with a lot of emulation that other consoles are able to handle very easily. The GBA, for example, actually just sucks if you're playing anything other than a turn based game like Pokemon. Try playing Sonic Advance or Mega Man Zero, and tell me that's fun. Meanwhile, you can find an emulation device for $50 or less that can play any GBA game that you want these days. It absolutely smashes early Playstation games though, which isn't always feasible with other consoles. So that's definitely a big win there. Just a bit pricey of a console to be able to justify buying if you want to play things other than early Sony titles. Not to mention the process of soft-modding isn't exactly easy for the average user and puts them at risk of bricking their console that they just likely paid a pretty penny for.

Great video, im taking notes of what I can, and can not use.

just got one today! best invesment of my life!

if you are a poor kids (broke) yes you need a PSVita jailbreak modded crack etc.😂

Hey great video. Small mic tip: turn the gain down a tad bit or get a pop filter. Top quality video otherwise. You got a new sub from me :)

excellent video bro 🕶

Have you made a video on how to connect the Vita to a large screen?

Fixing my old 1001 vita for this!

U make me, wanted to buy this VITA BRO!!!!

nICE video Can you show us how you ported Max Payne please

Woah the emulation looks amazing! I been missing out!

Getting mines today

bro thanks

Im getting one this monday

I had a ps Vita back in my school days with that rip off sd card xd its mad what you did to it good job

I think I have a 1TB microSD in my OLED vita. Retroarch and old systems work pretty great. I played super Metroid from start to finish in it a few months ago.

Hi! I just ordered a second hand psvita and this will be my first ever handheld console. I just have some questions I hope you may answer, how do I prevent bloating my battery or make the battery life longer? Any tips you can give me to make my experience better playing psvita? Thank you and sorry for my english since it's my second language, I hope you understand!

I bought the Oled Version and love it

Thanks for the video and all the information! I just bought a PS Vita and I’m waiting for it to arrive. I’m excited to Play RE2 and RE3 originals. Can you still buy games off PSN for Vita?

Damn that’s sick I can’t wait to buy one if I where to purchase a vita what model would be best ?
