There were a lot of problems with the Vita, but I think no matter what dedicated handhelds were always on their way out. Console games' development budgets spiraled out of control to the point where there was just no room for handheld side projects anymore. In fact I think Sony was correct to just keep prioritizing the PS4 and let the Vita die, rather than prolong the inevitable.
I knew this was bogus. Even if a few characters might not be good to bring back, there's a very easy solution to that: make new characters. That's what I want to see in a new game anyway! Disco Kid was fantastic and I want more where he came from!
I just wish TGM4 could see the light of day. It was developed, completed, and location tested, but then TTC decided they didn't want anything non-Guideline to exist.
@Poodlestargenerica It's a shame how many games tried and failed to meaningfully put their own spin on it (and Deroon DeroDero is honestly one of the absolute worst), but I must object to the assertion that Tsu is anything but the greatest competitive puzzle game ever made. Such a simple ruleset has led to enough depth to keep a tournament scene going for 30 years now.
