Despite the name of this event being УRe-Vita-lized,Ф there is still some question as to whether or not these titles will work on the Vita. As of early March 29 not all of the titles were showing up on the Vita PS Store. Atlus has said that they are looking into that problem and that some users have reported success by first downloading the titles to their PlayStation 3 and then transferring it over to the Vita.
Have any of you tried to play these games on the Vita? If so, did you encounter any problems?
