After (finally!) getting a local multiplayer session of Jam With The Band going a few weeks ago, I decided to pick up the Japan-only original, Daigasso! Band Bros, alongside the GBA cartridge expansion of requested songs. The latter was a must buy because it includes the ever catchy Happy Material in the song list…
The manual is really neat! You get a pull out double sided poster for each game mode. I also like that the developers refer to the game with a GB Music Emblem in places. It was originally a Nintendo R&D team title headed to the Game Boy Advance.
Another collection purchase came in today,some heavy hitters here. Paid about 30% less than gamevaluenow which is pretty good. Gonna be my last purchase for a while.
The platform has a great library, but to be completely honest, it’s very port heavy. It very much filled a niche that has been taken over by the Switch of quality portable versions of indie titles.
Some of its best gems have also been ported to PS4 like Gravity Rush and Tearaway. But I’d still prefer the Vita versions due to the way they’re built around that control scheme. I also like Hotline Miami on it. And, of course, there’s P4G.
It’s a very decent platform if you’re a portable gamer.
For me it’ll play Vita, PSP, and emulators of all sorts. The screen is so much nicer than the PSP 1000, it’ll be my main go-to machine for pretty much all things portable outside of Nintendo.
I picked this up yesterday at Aldi. I’m testing it to see if I can use it as a univeral controller/DS/3DS charging station. So far it works well with my 3rd party PS3 controller.
