Are you looking for cross-play / cross-buy titles? In which case, I tend to reference either of those two lists:

The cross-buy list seems to mostly serve the same use, thanks. So how does this work exactly? If the game is cross-buy compatible with PS3 & PS4, does that mean that buying it on PS3 or 4 will make the game become downloadable on the PS Vita too? And is the PS Vita Store still online? Can I buy a game for PS4 physically on disc and get access to the PS Vita game through cross-buy, or does it only work with digital games? Plus, you can buy PS4 games on the PS store for PS5, so if I buy a PS4 that has cross-buy support with the Vita on a PS5, will cross-buy still work and give me access to the game on the PS Vita?

Yes, that's the idea.
And is the PS Vita Store still online?
It is! The only caveat is if you ever want to buy something, you'll need PSN credit on your account (paypal / credit card payment can't be used anymore).

Ish, that's somewhat iffy. If you were to buy it new, then maybe, but since it relies on a coupon (afaik) which could be expired by now, there's no way to be 100% sure. Used, that's a no-go.
Plus, you can buy PS4 games on the PS store for PS5, so if I buy a PS4 that has cross-buy support with the Vita on a PS5, will cross-buy still work and give me access to the game on the PS Vita?
Absolutely, that would work.
Awesome, thanks for answering these questions. I noticed a typo in my last question though and I want to know you didn't misunderstand it. Where I said "so if I buy a PS4 that has cross-buy support with the Vita on a PS5", I meant to say "so if I buy a PS4 game that has cross-buy...". Is your answer still the same?
Oh right, that's what I actually understood anyways, so my answer is still the same!
- The Walking Dead
- Spelunky
- Hotline Miami (personal favorite)
- Rayman Origins
- Metal Gear Solid HD Collection
- Limbo
- Some Ratchet and Clank games
- Borderlands 2 (bad port)
Thanks. Despite not owning a Vita, I've actually got a loose cartridge of Borderlands 2 somewhere which I've owned for like 5 years now, lol. I know it's a bad port, but it seems like it would be a fun novelty to play on an overclocked console (I've seen some video tests and performance can really be boosted)
