Note: these 2002 titles predate the hardware — RAWG lists later ports and re-releases under the original release date.

PS Vita is a handheld video game console released in 2012 by Sony. The platform comes with either 3G+Wi-Fi network or in Wi-Fi only bundle. There are two hardware variations of the console: original and second (referred to as "slim"). The slim version differs with the display port removed, 3G cut, and internal storage added. There is also PlayStation TV released on Vita hardware.

More on PS Vita

However, not all the games are compatible with it. PS Vita is usually considered the most powerful handheld console in the video game history. Nevertheless, the first-party developers have quickly lost interest in making games for it leaving a platform for third-party titles and port games from previous generations. A PlayStation Plus support will also be removed from the console by 8th March 2019 likely leading to a halt of overall platform support.

Why some games have no rating

RAWG publishes an average score only once a game has collected 6 or more user votes. Below that it returns 0.0 — while still returning the full vote breakdown. So a game nobody has ever rated and a game with five “exceptional” votes arrive looking identical.

Those suppressed scores are recomputed from the breakdown, which recovers 0 of the 1 games here that would otherwise read as unrated. The rest have no votes at all — mostly obscure, regional or unported titles. That is a real absence, not a gap in the fetch: there is nothing to retrieve.

Everything with a vote ranks in one table, because the order is weighted rather than a raw mean: a score is shrunk toward the all-years mean of 3.79 (too few ranked games here to take a local one) in proportion to how thin its evidence is, so a two-vote 5.0 settles near the middle instead of on top. Metacritic joins at half that weight where it exists — 1 of these games have one.

Ranked 1 game with at least one vote

Ordered by a weighted score, not the raw mean: each game's own average is shrunk toward the all-years mean of 3.79 in proportion to how few votes it rests on, and Metacritic is folded in at half that weight where it exists. A 6-vote 4.67 therefore ranks below a 2,100-vote 4.45 — the raw figure is shown under each score, and sorting by raw score ignores the weighting entirely.

Bars show how the votes split — Exceptional, Recommended, Meh, Skip. A ~ on the raw figure marks a score recomputed from a breakdown RAWG suppresses.
