Is Shovel Knight on Vita a good port? I have it on Steam but I haven't played Plague of Shadows yet and it would be cool to have it portable

It's excellent, but if you have the 3DS version it gets te slight edge, comparing the handheld versions. Because of the second screen being the menu which means you don't break up te flow as much fiddling with your loadout mid level.

Also PSX is what I see in print, and how I would type it. But if I'm talking with someone I say out loud, PS1.

quote:

System software license agreement[edit]

Within the system software license agreement for the PS Vita firmware, Sony Computer Entertainment refers to the white device sold in Japan and Asia as "PLAYSTATION®VITA TV", and the black device sold in North America and Europe as "PLAYSTATION®TV". This means that "PlayStation Vita TV" is still the official English name for the device sold in Asia, and that contrary to unconfirmed reports, the brand name "Vita TV" has not been depreciated in favour of "PlayStation TV". --benlisquareT•C•E 05:24, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

but the title refused to change

Hi, I think that you should edit your prevalence of circumcision map to show countries with the majority circumcised versus countries with a minority. I think the way you currently have it is misleading. Everyone with 20-80 percent gets turned red. I can edit it for you if you want. You can contact me at jpolzeng2400@gmail.com.

I got a Playstation at launch and most called it a PSX in print iirc but nobody I knew said "PSX". Early Playstation games were weird and wonderful.

Oh yeah that's what it was called! Yeah, it owned. It's like some prehistoric Smash Bros.

I think it was called the PSX a while pre-release because they thought the name would work better in the west, but by the time they changed their minds, the gaming press were just running with it.
