Out of the dozen-ish titles I own, I can say we agree somewhat here, seeing as I own seven of these. After a week of wondering whether I should pick up MLB 13: The Show (I skipped 12) for either PS3 or Vita, I decided to download it (which is odd - I'm all about physical copies, but I really wanted it for the airplane ride the next day). '13 is a fantastic game, and (from what I hear) a mild upgrade from MLB 12 (moreso than FIFA 13 on Vita). Another notch in the Vita's fairly strong sports catalog (sorely missing that hockey title, though). FIFA Soccer was my launch week purchase and I played that to death (two full seasons).
Playing Sly Cooper, MLB and Sonic Racing now.

No LBP Vita, WCP? I'd recommend you try it out if you haven't. It's one of my favorite titles on the system. The story mode and all the games within it are extremely well done. LBP Vita also includes a feature where you can download your favorite community levels to have them playable at anytime.
I don't have a Vita yet but for this system first I just want my portable Dungeon Hunter Alliance in physical form instead of digital only like the PS3 version is. Let's see if I can get through another month without taking the bait. "PSP Go for CFW, TV out and PS3 controller support; or Vita with new hack n slash"; or do I want to continue to go retro and catch up on older games of the style?
I still haven't beaten PS1 Diablo as much as I liked it on PS3 with my Logitech controller where you can switch to analog stick on PS1 games where you normally couldn't.
I still play MLB 12 the most of the games I've got. I hadn't played a baseball game in forever, and I was blown away by how much fun the RTTS mode is. I was also able to download the 2013 roster in the vault, although I haven't played any games using it yet.
I do wish there was more out for it (like NHL 13 mentioned above). It's depressing not having much to choose from if I get the hankering for buying something.
Having said that, the 360 library is massively daunting at this point - I feel like I don't know where to start when I wander into an EB and look at the offerings.
In other words, they can't win because I'm not happy if there's too many or too few games

If you're not allergic to sports games, then you NEED to try these:
1. Fifa Soccer - Both Fifa Soccer (the original launch game), and Fifa 13 use the exact same game engine. Get whichever one is cheaper. Should be able to get the old one for $15. Worth every penny, best portable sports game I'e ever played. I'm not even a huge soccer guy.
2. Virtua Tennis 4 - Yeah, I know. Tennis. Yeah, I'm sure when you imagined the Vita the first thing you dreamed about was an amazing Tennis game. No ? Yeah, well, still this game supposedly is amazing. I haven't played it yet, but it's gotten crazy recommendations from Vita gaf.
3. Hot Shots Golf - Obviously, this isn't a hardcore Tiger Woods golf sim. it has extremely cute golfers running around in a cartoonish style. Still, everthing is amazing about this game. Each little sound effect and button push is instantaneous, and everything just flows.... So hard to put into words. For the first 6 months I had the Vita, this was my No.1 stunner. Now it's Wipeout 2048.
Figured I'd update this for the first time in over three months...only five titles since then, with two actually coming next week

I'm definitely not allergic to sports games!
I might search out the FIFA game. I do love soccer (still play!), and I seem to remember enjoying the demo when the Vita launched. Getting the original for a good price would be fun.
I was really hoping they'd release Tiger for the Vita but since that isn't happening I might check out Hot Shots. I've never played it on any platform before but I do know it to be a respected series.
Tennis, well, I have my Pandora and an NES emulator to play Tennis

Added the five titles that have been released in the past three months since the past update...looks like a few more coming up for the holiday, but still not much out there.

I went to Yamada last night its a shame, theres dozens of Japanese only titles available for the Vita. We need to get some real games for it. Some like Unit 13 feel like they were designed for the iPad. Im loving Killzone, and Persona 4, and Dead or Alive 5 I usually play on the train.I also played on the new Vita for a little bit and its a disappointment. The thing looks cheap and feels cheap. The thing looks like its made from modular parts, its not but the front screen looks like its three pieces, left stick/Dpad, screen, right stick/buttons, just plain cheap.
Sigh... I feel bad for my poor old Vita. It sits there on my desk, lonely and (usually) unplayed... Truth is, I haven't found many Vita games particularly enticing. I actually play my PSP more now, due to the great selection of RPGs. Hopefully the new Ys game will capture my attention.
Oh yeah, and PLEASE CAPCOM. Please release Monster Hunter G on Vita in the states. Don't do the PSO2 thing again.

Any fans of Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 on PS3? Don't buy the Vita version. Pretty much unplayable with how bad the lag eventually ends up getting. In chapter nine it lags about 90% of the time. Probably its worse, it probably runs at 1/5th the framerate. Tecmo Koei has always been a shitty developer this gen aside from very few releases, this just pushes them to the "I won't buy shit from you anymore" publisher.
Bump...there are a bunch of games missing from the original list at this point, which is a shame as the Vita is a fun (and relatively easy) system to collect for.
