I don't think the vita was involved in a format war, so no.

You can get $25 back if you bought a 3G version at launch because they totally lied about what you'd be able to do with that model (play multiplayer and download games over 3G lol).

Man, I remember UMD video. Tons of movies were released on that godawful format. One time I bought a copy of FF7 Advent Children for 1€ so I'd have a keepsake to remember Sony is insane a decade later or so. It's like they never learn.

Majesco made an assload of money on GBA Video, its probably the only reason they're still in business.

It was a very, incredibly brief stint between Nintendo and some companies that produces movies or cartoons and stuff. It's just a GBA cart you pop into your GBA and it played moves with basic VCR-irsh controls, like fast forward or reverse and stuff.

I think only ten or so were made.

But the 3ds actually gives me new games that i want like Monster Hunter 4, persona, Tales, Zelda, Pokemon, and many others. I've got around 40 3ds games.

The Wii-U has only Monster Hunter 3 and a port of a Zelda game I already own in it's original format. I've still got under 20 Wii-U games or something and I've got all the worthwhile exclusives.

and no mario Party 10, Hyrule Warriors, and Toad Treasure Tracker and that stupid new kirby game do not count as worthwhile exclusives. They are Bargain Bin worthy and are only considered worthwhile if they 5 bucks and under.
