Vita means life

Yes!!! There ain’t nothing like it! I actually do keep stats over my video-gamin’, so I crunched some numbers…

Apparently, 104 (36%) out of the 286 games I’ve played in the last 4½ years were played on Vita. Only four of those were Vita games, however – 31× PS1, 21× NES, 8× GBA, 6× SNES, and the rest a motley crew of other systems. (Among them, one PC-98 game – I’m fairly certain I’m the only one to ever successfully play a PC-98 game on Vita, because oh boy did it ever require some digital wrestling.) The Vita really revolutionized my video gaming habits – I get through an order of magnitude more retro games thanks to it! …And I barely even take it with me anywhere!

I love that you’re playing Pro Yakyū Spirits! I’ve myself fallen down the Power Pros hole this year (it even got me into baseball; first time I find myself caring about a sport) – from what I understand, they’re practically the same foundational baseball game, decked out in different metagames and coats of paint. I’m utterly unable to play the Vita versions, though – the Vita’s stick is so small and sensitive that you’d need to play it with tweezers to position the ball cursor with even a modicum of precision.
