" ... PS Vita game support: Several PSVita games (both digital and physical games) are playable in the PSTV, the ones that are not playable are the ones that require the use of the touchscreen, back touchpad, or the cameras of the PSVita. ... Among the most popular PSVita games that you CANNOT play are Uncharted: Golden Abyss, WipEout 2048, Tearaway, Gravity Rush. ... PS1 game support: All digital PS1 games on PlayStation Store are supported by the PSTV. ... This probably has a better support than the one offered by the PSVita for two simple reasons: 1) Dualshock games are supported, your controller can vibrate, and 2) Multiple controllers are supported by the PSTV, so you can play local multiplayer with your friends, up to 4 players can play (if the game supports it). ... And you can feel the old sensation of playing like back on the day when playing with your PS1 with your friends. ... You can play both PS4 and digital PS2 games that you already own on your PS4, and similar to PS1 games, PSTV lets you use multiple controllers to play local multiplayer for both PS2 and PS4 games (up to 4 players). ... However, there are a few PS4 games that are not available for remote play like the PSVR games and other games that need the PS camera. ... This is the main reason why I bought my PSTV, to be able to play PS4 games from my bedroom while my partner is watching TV or playing on another console in the living room (where my PS4 is). ... The PSTV also supports multiple controllers for this service, so you can play local multiplayer games on PSNow too. ... To summarise, you can play several PSVita games (the ones that don't use the touchscreen, touchpad and camera), most of digital PSP games, all of digital PS1 games, digital PS2 games (available on the store for PS4) throughout Remote Play for PS4, several PS3 games throughout PSNow, and most of PS4 games (the ones that don't use the camera), so you have a really wide selection of games to play on your PSTV. ... If you want to play PS1/PSP games on your PSTV you must buy a memory card in order to download the games. ... So, if you don't care so much about these problems, and you are more interested about the options of gaming it offers, then the PSTV may be for you. ... "
" ... It plays most of my Vita games. ... "
" ... This device works very well as a console version of the Playstation Vita, and boasts a high campatibility with physical, and digital Vita games. ... Though a PS3 (DualShock 3) controller may be used with this (and is included in certain bundles), a PS4 (DualShock 4) controller is reccomended for better gameplay, as the touchpad on the controller works as a smaller version of the Vita's touchscreen for many games. ... Through this console you are able to play a variety of Playstation Vita games, and in fact you can use physical games as there is a built in cartridge port for Vita game cards, as well as PSP, PS Mini, and Playstation Classic games via the Playstation Network Store. ...

" ... Play all those great PlayStation Vita games from your sofa! ... "
" ... One for upstairs and one for my classroom (students get rewarded with game time during regular recess). ... "
" ... This is a pretty nifty workaround if you want to play PS Vita games, but don't want to bother with yet another mobile device. ... "
" ... I use it to play PS one games, but not much else. ... this game never supported touchscreen. ... If you want something small and new looking, this is ok to play old games you loved. ... "
" ... If you're buying it to play PS VITA games on your TV (or at all), then this overwhelmingly succeeds. ... Now not all Vita games play on it, such as ones needing the camera or touch controls. ... However, most games play, particularly JRPGs, the reason anyone buys a Vita in 2017 and beyond. ... "
