Aside from the couple of matches with the VIGC member I was unable to find a match, which is not at all surprising. While the connection wasn’t great, it was a fun experience. I was able to play an online match with another member of the Vita Island Game Club. This was an unintended benefit of the game. Learning about these characters lead me to some unfamiliar anime like Shakugan no Shana and The Devil Is a Part-Timer. I was unfamiliar with a vast majority of the characters on the roster which is an ensemble cast of existing characters from multiple properties. It seemed like one of those games that if you fought against someone who knew what they were doing you wouldn’t be able to land many hits.

I didn’t get proficient at the fighting but I was able to cheese my way through battles easily enough.

I only ended up playing through the arcade mode a couple of times. I was pleasantly surprised at how accessible Fighting Climax was. While I enjoy fighting games, I tend to stick to the 3D ones because the 2D fighting games seem to cater more to the “serious” fighting game community, which I am not part of. I’ve played Street Fighter x Tekken and DOA5 on the Vita but had not played any of the 2D fighters. One such game is Dengeki Bunko: Fighting Climax. Source: appeal of the Vita Island Game Club is it encourages me to try games I otherwise wouldn’t have or encourages me to play a game I haven’t been able to fit it into my gaming regimen. The games we played in 2021 are as follows:ĭecember: Player's Choice (Catch up on a game you didn't finish.)įor this end of the year retrospective, I asked members of the Vita Island Game Club to talk about their experience, especially with a favorite game we played this year. Over the months we played a great variety of games, all short enough that they can be comfortably finished within the month. In February 2020, we played our first game: Claire. The concept of 'Vita Island' was first discussed on the podcast PS I Love You XOXO, and has come to represent Vita players who feel stranded on a desert island by lack of support for the console from Sony, as well as lack of a large player community (though the community that does exist is quite dedicated!).

This doesn't mean that you have to actually play said game ON your Playstation Vita, however - if you own the game on Nintendo Switch, PS4, Steam, or any other platform, it is perfectly acceptable to play on your platform of choice. A way to encourage ourselves and others to play the Vita games we may have missed.' Personally, the club has been a way for me to keep playing my Vita even after most gamers have moved on to other consoles.īecause we are all diehard fans of the Playstation Vita, we decided to focus our club on games that can be played on the Vita. Gideon has said that, 'The general idea was a way for us to try to fit more Vita games into our catalogue. Naturally, I was thrilled to sign up! Anything where video games are treated as the literature they are is going to be right up my alley. The concept is similar to a book club, but instead of reading books we all play a chosen game and discuss it online at the end of each month.
