Tales of Hearts R the tales game exclusive to Vita
Tales of hearts, (not R) was on DS and plays VERY different
tales of innocence R, not in english i don't think?
tales of phantasia X Cross (check title) it's the newest version of tales of phantasia the first entry in the Namco Tales series, and comes with Narakiri dungeon X (cross?) a remake of the gameboy color game that spinoffs from Phantasia. not in full english (though phantasia has a LOT of english versions out there, snes, Ps1, GBA (eww don't play this one) )
Phantasy star nova, got an english translation, it's neat if you like action RPGs and scifi stuff (guns, magic, swords, and aliens)
every other vita that i liked, is on other platforms/PC but for information sake:
Neptunia rebirth 1,2 and 3, excellent games and very much built to be "portable"
the PC versions have more content i guess but the games feel "portable" as in you don't need it to be 4k 155hz or whatever, it "looks" like a vita game no matter what.
a few other spinoff neptunia games are on Vita only, none really noteworthy to me.
Ys games, Ys 7, memories of celceta, both play fine on Vita with touch controls on both, 7 on PC and celceta on ps4 and pc, no graphics enhancements outside resolution, even UI still has touch buttons on both that you can't use lol.
don't get ys 8 on Vita, it has LESS content, like a LOT you'd hate to miss (gameplay and story wise)
Persona 4 golden, personally this game doesn't look good on a 4k screen and ps5 version just stretched to hell, it's a good game on the go (and if you know persona games, its lengthy, like 100 hourish)
Gravity rush, i actually rather play this on Vita, it's built for touch controls front and back
DJ max technica tune, rhythm game using the touch screen entirely, it's either arcade or Vita, far as i know.
adventures of mana, it's a remake of "final fantasy adventure" on gameboy (in japan it's the first ever "mana" game, seiken densetsu) it's neat, really short though, feels more like a top down Zelda game.
this also has a GBA remake sword of mana which entirely changes the game, also a android/ios game
looked for "vita only" games only, uncharted golden abyss, Killzone mercenary, and soul sacrifice, little big planet (on Vita it's en entirely different game story and levels),
there's a fat list of all exclusives here i'm not familiar with a lot of those titles so yeah lol
Since my blog has become a hub for Vita content, I wanted to create a page that compiles a list of all the Vita-exclusive games in existence. To count in this list, the game has to only be availabl…

Edited:
there's Ar no Surge plus, vita exclusive (the non plus is on ps3), idk anything about it
all 4 Chaos rings games, which were on mobile devices and Vita, that's chaos rings 1, 2, omega, and 3, oh yeah all by square enix if you like SE turn based RPGS you'll like these
ABSOLUTELY recommend chaos rings 3 on it's own, its like persona, fusing cards that summon "heroes" from all over history and mythology, you'll get a Kingdom hearts feel with the visuals and story, it's quite long for a "phone game", i thought it was great, you can't complain when the game itself has a "no encounter" switch and adjustable enemy levels (doesn't apply to main story bosses)
they're all japanese games but there's patches for all of them all translated and can be obtained here (with Vita3k pc emulator)
