isn't it waste of DualShock?

SilentNegotiator5108d ago (Edited 5108d ago )

Having the option to plug it into something else? A "waste"?

That said, it's hard to call it the ultimate "portable" gaming device. The Note is clucking huge on its own and the Dualshock isn't exactly very portable on its own, either. And mounted on the edge....well, it's "portable" if you have a fanny pack to store it in, I guess.

It's still an idea, though. Perhaps not the most practical idea.

Piroh: "isn't it a waste of Dualshock?"

blumatt5107d ago

I have a Galaxy Note and would love to try this.

Dark-vash5108d ago

No, it doesn't. You can't play Nintendo Games On Vita.
It's not that I approve piracy, but an Android OS is much more versatile than the Vita one.

It's a MOD, it's not for everyone. It's like installing Apple IOS in a Android smartphone, you have the iPhone for that, although people what to MOD the Android and experiment with things like this!

Theres already apps created with playstation suite that would allow you to use emulators on the Vita. Since they are emulators for Nintendo consoles and it is technically not illegal to create them, they could get turned into a final product for Playstation mobile.

I know it looks choppy but with a little time they can get it running smoothly on the Vita.

The PSP can do something like this too XD

JBSleek5108d ago

Why should someone? If they already have a phone and a dualshock laying around might as well.

The games are way cheaper and what you are lacking in quality and depth can be recovered by I just saved 40 bucks.

sandman2245108d ago

Yeah good point, but remember when you spend money on new games it benefits us the gamer, how, the money helps developers make new games.

Sanquine905108d ago

People like you are destroying the industry! Also downloading pc games for free i guess>?

Moncole5108d ago

I didnt know you can play N64 games on the Vita.

FOXDIE5108d ago

you can play all old games on all android phones!

Yea pay $250 for a handheld when you already have a phone, I already hath to carry a freaking insulin pump And I can use my smartphone for gaming for those rare few minute waits while I have a pc, xbox, and ps3 waiting for me at home. A handheld over $120 seems crazy to me.

GrandTheftZamboni5108d ago

A handheld without analogue stick seems crazy to me.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle62d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy70d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12569d ago (Edited 69d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
