It's one of my Top 10 Games, period. And my favourite SHMUP. Even Leon thinks it's cool.
I've looked into this before and apparently the only way you can access different region stores on Vita is to either accept the fact that every time you want to switch your region profile you have to wipe your memory card, or you need a different card for each region you want to access.

Definitely not going down the wiping route, and I only have one 16gb Vita card at the moment and not massively keen to pick up a second just for a few extra games from other regions (although I am very tempted!).
It's a good thing you can also get it on PS3 then!

So someone clever has made a firefox plugin which accesses the legacy store and has loads of games which have been removed previously. I just bought a few PsOne classics and PSP games through this on the EU store.

Its been going around Twitter so I suspect many of you know about it but still its cool to see.

The PSP store is still going away, but they're keeping the PS3 and Vita stores online.
This may be a silly question, but does this mean that PSP games on the Vita store will still be available there? Or will those be gone?

Yeah I'd have thought Kurt is right, because the old PSP store had way more games available for it than are available on the Vita store.
