Dunno how many of you saw this, but it's a guaranteed buy from me.

I read up rumors of an ipad/ipod touch port a while back. I haven't heard anything new on that yet. It would be great playing technika on the ipad though. As of now though, because of this, the vita is always on my mind.

I'm actually looking forward to this. I'm curious as too how exactly this kinda peripheral will support the game's dynamics and interface. I can't imagine owning Technika's 10s on a screen as small as the PS Vita's.

[NeoMasterPie]

want

that is all

[Winrar]

I would love this even on a screen as small as my iPhone.

Well the article does quote "The Vita version won't simply replicate this gameplay concept, as it somehow uses both the touchscreen and the rear touch panel. However it works, rest assured: it will be very difficult."

I'm eagerly interested to see how this will play on the vita. I've been so addicted to the PSP DJ Max games and have been desperate for a portable Technika.

The closest thing on the market that's almost like virtual/portable Technika is the Osustream app. Check it out I suppose, though if you're playing it on an iPod or iPhone, you're going to rage because it's incredibly difficult to play hard difficulties on a screen that small. It's much more easier and fun on an iPad.

I hate osu

I would buy it but..

There's no way I'm getting a Vita just for Technika. It's much better to play it at the arcades with the superhuge screen. It just isn't the same experience when you can't with 2-4 fingers at ONCE on the screen.

Vita - the screen isn't big enough for you to be tapping away with 2+ fingers (on double notes and continuing notes with double notes, etc). Your fingers will ultimately get in the way of your view.

No for me. :/ Even jubeat on the iPad is better.

ps) this is coming from a guy who's played every single DJ Max release, starting from DJ Max online in 2004 -3-

I honestly don't think anyone is gonna get the Vita Just-For-Technika. Anyone that would do such a thing is either an idiot and a fool with money, or is incredibly rich and won't feel anything from such a purchase.

Some of us don't like driving to arcades and dumping quarters and standing in front of a machine that kids have touched after picking there nose and sneezing on it. Plus, arcades are slowing disappearing, and Technika machines aren't exactly a common machine to come across. In fact, they're extremely rare. I'm in Norfolk Virginia right now and haven't found a single machine yet, so this is actually a treat to some people like me. Yes, it's better to play on a big screen, I know from playing it in Florida, but it's always fun to play short portable bursts every now and then too. You're right about your hand getting in the way of the screen, but I'm sure they're coming up with ways to make it play well.

Coming from a guy that played every single DJ Max game? Not trying to be a dick, but um... that's not gonna impress Beatmania veterans. DJ Max is another Beatmania clone which has been around since 1997. Even O2Jams been around longer.

:/ Well I'm just saying because I've actually played Technika in the arcades for some time with a platinum crew card, and the technika experience just isn't going to be the same on the PSP Vita.

Also, not many people have PSP Vita. I doubt everyone who said "I want it" or "I'm buying it" have a PSP Vita at the moment.

Well yeah. The Vita doesn't come out till Feb 22. xD

[Anaru]

Oh lol.. Well that means all of you will have to shell out $200+ to just play Technika on the Vita..

And I hope you realize most people have PSP 1k, 2k, or 3ks that they've modded so they could play any game for free.

That has nothing to do with anything. What're you getting at? You're not gonna be able to play Vita games with a hacked psp.

[Anaru]

And you think a lot of people are going to shell out $200+ for a new Vita?

PSP GO failed like shit. What makes you think the majority of people who've spent money on a good portable system will shell out money like it's garbage?

I may be saying these things with some personal bais, but everyone around me that I've talked to on a regular basis have rejected the idea of buying a Vita.

And don't tell me you're going to shell out $30+ for each game you buy to play on the Vita. Because you're not. Unless you like wasting money.

The PSP GO failed because it people were buying the PSP standards which were cheaper and had the UMD slot. Dude, why wouldn't I shell out $30+ to play games on a Vita? 360 and PS3 games are just as much. Just cause you and the people you associate with rejects the price of the Vita doesn't mean everyone else does. I have a steady check coming in, so I can afford to treat myself. Lets not forget that the vita comes out during tax refunds. Smart play Sony.

[CobaltWire]

Yeah the PSP GO was a dumb move. I think the only games you could play were games you purchase on the PSN unless you were using a hack console.

piracy debate incoming

[Choofers]

I hacked my PSP and played PSP GO games on it, what what.

I also have a vid of me playing FF Dissidia somewhere on youtube, that was also hacked (I eventually ended up buying)


tbh, I would much rather go to the arcade and play Technika. But I realize that not everyone can do that lol. Interested to see how they're going to incorporate the rear touchscreen though.
