[quote name='justme99z']My vita is far and away my most played console over the past 6 months (and it only came out 5 months ago

). There are tons of awesome games, and you pretty much have something for every genre right now.
Platformer - Rayman Origins or Tales from Space (PSN download, awesome game)
Racer - Wipeout
Puzzle - Lumines
SRPG - Disgaea 3
Sports - Hot Shots Golf, Fifa and all that (HSG is awesome BTW)
Shooter - I like Unit 13, people have mixed reviews but its fun
EDIT: forgot a fighting game... haha Mortal Kombat and UMvC3 are good from what I hear[/QUOTE]
I also think the Vita is a great console, not really hampered in any major way (battery life, maybe - but even then it's not a major deal for most people). I own pretty much every game you listed, and yes - they're great.
The problem is there's no new IP that's brilliant on the Vita. Gravity Rush is supposed to be decent, but not a killer app, and the rest you've seen before.
I do hope there's some new, awesome games for the Vita that really give the system the kick in the pants it needs. Because there's no doubt in my mind that right now it's dead in the water.
