Some Vita games (the list of compatible games should expand nicely, I suspect most games that don't depend heavily on a touch screen like rhythm games should end up compatible)

Shawn Layden yesterday said "most Vita games". My bet is on ignorance, rather than dishonesty or an actual future effort to meaningfully expand the white list.

VitaTV also seems to be even more worth it because you could use it as an easy way to have a second bigger screen for co-op games that feature the whole remote play thing.

So far every topic about the Vita TV that I've seen on the internet after doing a search has either been about that topic with no answer or has had that question asked and nobody answered. So for now we just have to wait for someone to try I guess.

I'm probably gonna end up getting this for the sole purpose of being able to play my PS4 in another room without moving it.

It'll probably con me into buying Vita games I wouldn't have bought otherwise.

Unfortunately I just tried this with a PS3 fight stick (stock WWE Brawl stick) and it didn't work. None of the switch positions responded with joystick movements, and the buttons never did anything. Maybe if you had a stick that was based off a Dualshock 3/4 on a technical level it would work, though.

I've got 2 sticks with ps360+'s thrown in them, which supports PSOne, so I'm curious about that. I could see it not responding to a PS3 stick, though.

It's just a way to put vita games on a bigger TV. Aka a way to make more money. But it does have its uses too. You can play ps4 (and maybe ps3? idk how remote play works with it) games on the Vita itself with the remote play feature, so with the vita TV, its basically like having a second ps4. So on top of that you could do co op with someone else using vita TV and basically have a second tv instead of forcing the other to use the small vita one.

From what I understand of how it works, I'm planning on picking one up to play PSP & Vita games I never got a chance to play (didn't own either, but there were a few titles), and I'm probably going to pick up that PS4 Destiny bundle, so it'll be used to remote play in another room if I feel like using the huge TV.

Both of those might be niche uses, but I'm really glad they're bringing it over anyways.

Bumping an old as hell thread of mine, I know, but I put together a list of Japanese Vita releases which are not Vita TV compatible, to give people an idea of what (not) to expect. There are some interesting things I didn't expect, I have a hunch some devs might have decided against Vita TV compatibility because they consider the TV to be the domain of the PS3/4, and I think the Western indies and smaller studio just haven't gotten to it yet (and also a few games from studios that no longer exist and aren't exactly going out of their way to patch anything). Of course, there are a bunch of games that make considerable use of touch controls or even make use of the camera, so those obviously won't be ported. This list is more or less everything other than what looked like dating sim-type games that will never leave Japan anyway.

Games in bold are true Vita-exclusive games, and thus only possible to play on the handheld.

Asphalt: Injection
Assassin's Creed Liberation (also available digitally on PS3, Xbox 360 and PC)

flOw
Flower (also on PS3/PS4)

Metal Gear Solid HD Collection (also on PS3 and Xbox 360)
Michael Jackson: The Experience
Mobile Suit Gundam Battle Operation Support Application (complementary app to PS3 game, likely Japan-only)
Moero Chronicle

PlaystaionTV (VitaTV) is priced around $99 compared to the Boarderlands vita bundle which is priced at ~$199. So your savings is about $100 but keep in mind the base VitaTV doesn't include a memory card (and you need a PS3 or PS4 controller to play it). There's also a Playstation TV bundle for $139 that gives you a PS3 controller, 8GB Memory Card, and a voucher for The LEGO Movie Videogame.

4 weeks until North American release (tack on an extra month for Europe/Australia).

I keep hoping they'll push out an early update so those of us with Japanese Vita TV's can figure out a few things but nothing so far, in all likelihood if it happens at all it'll probably be a week or so before launch (like with the store update on October 7th).

That reminds me, I have to order a 64 gig card as well.

It's possible the website just wasn't updated. I'll check my Vita TV after work tonight to see if the game's in the Vita TV store or not.

EDIT It looks like it's on the Vita TV store so I guess you're right about that. One less incompatible game!

Well, the "unsupported" list seems to consist pretty much entirely of games which legitimately can't work due to the game's Vita version needing the camera (e.g. Assassin's Creed Liberation's Vita version, Tearaway, Metrico), heavy touch screen use (e.g. DJ Max Teknica Tune), or Western devs who haven't had good reason/opportunity to make the necessary adjustments to get their game working. A lot is probably going to ride on how well the console does in the West, too.

I would expect the bulk of games whose Japanese versions are compatible to work: stuff like Ys: Memories of Celceta, the Dangan Ronpa games, Toukiden and the like will probably work. As soon as I find out that the North American store is up (and assuming there isn't something preventing my Japanese Vita TV from connecting to it) I'll give it a thorough checkup to see what I can get working or not. I also half-expect we'll probably get a compatibility list prior to launch, as well, and that should give us some information.

univbee
Jun 3, 2004




Oh, hey, Sony posted a compatibility list here: https://support.us.playstation.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5376

Even better, a lot of games that weren't flagged as compatible in Japan are compatible now, it seems. That said, both Disgaea 3 and Ys: Memories of Celceta aren't listed so hopefully that's either a mistake or something which is still pending (Japanese Ys is definitely compatible and I think D3 is as well). Here's an updated incompatibility list:

EDIT Going to maintain the list here instead going forward: http://physicalgames.wordpress.com/pstv/

The YouTube App isn't explicitly listed anywhere

So notable compatible games:
Most indies not on the above list (so stuff like Spelunky, Dragon Fantasy, Divekick, CounterSpy, Hohokum, Dustforce, Fez, Hotline Miami, Luftrausers, Machinarium, Rogue Legacy, The Swapper, Limbo, Doki-Doki Universe, Retro City Rampage...)
both Dangan Ronpa games
Zen Pinball 2 and Pinball Arcade
Jet Set Radio
Killzone: Mercenary
Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 (although I imagine it will still just be single player local)
Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward

Yes to all three of those, actually, but I don't think this list is covering future releases yet so maybe for Senran Kagura and Tales of Hearts R at least they will be, not sure if Akiba is just an omission or needs work (I'm pretty sure it launched compatible with the Vita TV in Japan).

DS4 is already compatible on the Japanese Vita TV and how I use mine, and the touchpad can even work for some touchscreen things. I think the USB port is just for charging and controller syncing, though, so unfortunately no "breakout" options for audio, at least not directly from the device.

This too. (EDIT and SAO, both games are compatible in Japan) Not sure why SAO isn't on the compatibility list though, maybe it will need a patch?

It's pretty rare for a Vita game to not be Vita TV compatible in Japan unless it's designed in such a way that the touchscreen/camera are essential.

Ha, I was just thinking of getting a Vita or 3DS so I could play some of those dungeon crawlers like Class of Heroes or Etrian's Odyssey, but I'm not really a huge fan of hand helds as I do most of my gaming at home. So this is the perfect options for me.

Portable Ops isn't compatible with the regular Vita, even, for reasons unknown. A while back Sony accidentally unlocked all downloadables for the Vita and some people got it that way, although I think it's somewhat unstable. That said, anyone lucky enough to get it and other games that way might have some luck using the content manager to transfer it.
