@cviii: I want to buy your game, but it's not available in Mexico. WTF, bro. Went into my phone and grabbed Ziggurat, because I just can't let you go to jail, even when your product is not available at my convenience. Ziggurat, too, is awesome.

This looks like a _SYSTEM SELLER_

OK, I'm also getting a PS Vita for Hotline Miami and Guacamelee! but that's besides the point, because I'll be getting at pre-paid card for my brother and putting it on his system as well.

Love Insert Credit. But I'm sure like many watching this ad, I have no Vita or... Sony mobile ... a Pocketstation? Anyway, I'm waiting to see how this mystical Vita controlling the PS4 nonsense works out. I like to keep that dream of future Vita relevancy alive for myself.

Presumably this game will appear on the PS3 shop as well at some point, along with all the other Vita stuff currently wasting my time when I browse there. Then we'll see. There's no law what says I have to buy the system before the game. And no law yet to curb the horrendous, widespread drain on American productivity that is the Match 3 game. That could change any day now. We could be matching a maximum of 2 before we know it.

Sure, I'll buy it. If only for the amusement that trailer gave me. Oh, and the tip that just potentially changed my life for the better. Plus, I quite enjoy match puzzle games, and it's the kind of thing I'd imagine works well on the Vita too. I just wish more people had a Vita so they could play this too!

I want to buy a Vita just to get this game before it's illegal...

Who am I kidding? I live in Australia - it'll never get through classification. "Those blocks are nude! And they use drugs! And they explode! Refused Classification."

Seems like it's not available on the Vita PS Store in Sweden (or the rest of Europe either, I guess?).

After careful consideration I've decided that Sony needs to hire this guy to sell the PSVita.

It took about sixty seconds to sell me on this, so I had a good three minutes to wonder what the hell he's doing with all that whey protein. I'm no fitness nut, but that seems like too much, right?

Stock up when it's on sale (added bonus of making your kitchen look like a shitty GNC).

@truthtellah: you might have a vita soon, because there will be a bunch of hot games that might justify purchasing.

if sony hadn't sent me a vita for free, i totally would be buying one around the end of this year, myself.

heh. You know, it is a possibility. The Vita does seem to be getting some decent titles, and I'm probably going to wait a year or so to get the new consoles. So, the Vita might just be a holiday purchase. I'm rather happy with my 3DS for mobile gaming, but a Vita with more indie games like this and Tearaway might just make getting it an eventuality. We shall see!

We're talking about a guy that considers God Hand the best game ever made. Not that there is anything wrong with that game or that it is a bad game, but I'm just saying... he likely got a phat stack of cash to stick to the Vita side of things.

You can never have too much protein.

Unless you get kidney failure. Then you probably had too much protein.

That was a delightful advertisement for a portable video game. I think I will spend the necessary funds to obtain it.

Speaking of Playstation Mobile block-matching puzzle games that one can play on their Vita, I bought a game on there recently called Yu-Nama: The Puzzle that is also good (and was around the same price). It has the same characters/art-style/music as the weird PSP series What Did I Do To Deserve This, My Lord? but the gameplay is completely different. You match blocks to evolve creatures, and can move them around when falling to set up some crazy combos. Pretty fun.

All those jerks out there saying that the Vita was a waste of money. When proud Vita owners got Wake Up Club, some of the haters were silenced but many still lingered. Now, this game will prove that the Vita is THE console to own BOOM

Hey guys, Newcasltle Brown Ale in the shower is incredible. And it tastes completely different from when you're dry.
