Summary

Vita means Life — if your definition of “Life” is “Deader than vulture-stripped roadkill.” Yes, Axe of the Blood God pays its dues to the PlayStation Vita this week in the latest RPG Console Quest. Kat and Nadia mourn the powerful handheld’s all-too-early death and its subsequent abandonment by Sony. How did everything go so very wrong? More importantly, which RPGs were left orphaned on the system? Why do retro JRPG fans love the Vita so very, very much? Also in this episode: Kat and Nadia launch an entirely new segment, Nadia falls on her face while trying to understand SaGa Frontier Remastered, and Square Enix probably isn’t for sale, so put away your piggybank.

1:29.9	begin to describe how, that's like a, that's a topic for a sonnet at this rate. It's wild to me that
1:37.5	the Vita has been around that long. It does not feel like it's been around that long. I think
1:43.2	back on it and I'm like, oh, the Vita, it's about five years old.
