Bought Sayonara Umihara Kawase this morning. I can't play it on my Vita since I have PlayStation Mobile games on it, but I suppose I'll have to push it to my PSTV.

Just delete the PS Mobile games. I mean, you can redownload your purchases at any time, right?




Right?

That whole thing with the PS Mobile games is just dumb.
 
Anyhow, I tried buying Umihara 1 from Magino Drive (shutup Blade) but it didn't like any of the 4 Visa cards I tried and they don't take Paypal. Only other thing I ever 'bought' there was a couple of free visual novels. I don't know if you need a Japanese credit card or I'd have to call the bank and tell them to allow international purchases (even though I buy from some game sites in Europe sometimes without issue) but I couldn't get it to work.
 
You'd probably need the help of someone in Japan I'd guess.

I assume i'm too late if i'd like to get a copy of Shun for Steam? Went ahead and bought Sayonara+ on PStv.

Yes I'm sad too, though I do think that the PS Vita version is very good and does come with the first game as well. Just needed Shun.

I hope you're joking.

On second thought, I've had enough of purchasing digital games that are destined to be taken down (even though technically they all are). The PS Mobile fiasco that Sony actively gives no fucks for was enough for me.


Think it's safe to say I am.

What's this about PS Mobile games having to do with Umihara Kawase?  My google skills have only shown me that they, PS Mobile games were delisted awhile back.  I have some on my Vita

I can't download Umihara Kawase to the same memory card I already have in my Vita without risking the loss of all my PS Mobile games. And if I swap out memory cards, I won't ever be able to play them again. That's the joke. It has less to do with Umihara Kawase than it has to do with Sony not having a good contingency plan for Vita owners who had already purchased PSM content. So the only way I can play this game is on my PlayStation TV.

Just bought the Vita version on PSN and noticed that I also got the PS3 version since both versions now appear in my download list.

Link to the PS3 version?

Bit on Vita version. $20 is a lot for this game, but I wanted it on Steam before I knew it was being removed. Vita version is already gone from EU PSN, so I expect this to disappear from US PSN today.

There is no PS3 version. Vita games can be downloaded to PS3 and then transferred to Vita to play.

I still want to know why certain Vita games can only be downloaded by transferring from a PS3. That doesn't make one ounce of sense.

But neither does most of what Sony does.

Are there Vita games that require a PS3? I've only heard of PS1 games that need to be transferred. In that case I think it's a licensing issue.

Some PSP games require a PS3 to transfer to Vita, but no Vita games do.

Is it still there? Has anyone checked?

On a related note, Destructoid reports that someone loved the Super Famicom version of Umihara Kawase so much that they left a Super Famicom on and plugged in for 20 years to preserve a save file for the game:

Glad that's cleared up about the lack of PS3 version.  Thanks.

You should see if you can get a mod to delete that post mentioning the Super Famicom save file again.  Wouldn't want to waste any thread space.
