It's a excellent handheld that has obviously bearing drawbacks, depending of your tastes and situation, and thus how much you can overlook them
>memory card being pricey, and has a slightly higher chance to get faulty than your average microsd card. 64GB is japan only thus making your 80-100 bucks a gamble (no warranty)
>hack is still nothing more than tricking the handheld. Hack still has made some progress (more particularly the SD2Vita adapter that uses the game cartridge slot), but the whole thing only works on 3.60 firmware (which means you'll miss out recent games like Touhou TOD Reloaded or Super Robot Wars V). Any firmware version above is a bust
>niche japanese games that got fucked by XSeeD, NISA, Aksys localizations in general. Knowing japanese has major benefits to avoid the localizations and also in owning game cartridges (majority of western localizations tend to be digital-only). Japanese PSN store is also filled with more stuff in general but your only way to fill credits is to get the PSN digital cards from play-asia.
>said japanese store lack in a few titles however (Risk of Rain, Strange Odyssey, Taiko Tatsujin PSP, Boku no Natsuyasumi 1, western psp/ps1 titles like Crash Bandicoot trilogy, and some visual novel releases on the psp)
When it comes to vita games themselves, the franchises are primarly the Atelier games, Disgaea, Neptune and other Compile Heart stuff, Digimon, Vanillaware games, Eiyuu Densetsu (Legend of Heroes) and Ys, Taiko Tatsujin, the Vocaloid games (Miku and IA), Deception IV (Nightmare Princess being base game + expansion), Puyo Puyo Tetris, Senran Kagura,MGS HD, Toukiden/Soul Sacrifice Delta, Super Robot Wars and Earth Defense Force (2 & 3 Portable). Not to forget the shitload of visual novels (White Album 2, Eve Burst Error, Flowers, Net High, Grisaia, Amagami, etc) too.
To sum up, it's a very good handheld, but a tricky one.
