    It's May, and I'm back (on track) with my monthly list of current and upcoming titles for the PlayStation Vita. As usual it is focused on the North American market, with Europe and Japan exclusive titles in their own sections below.

    We've got a big month ahead of us with plenty of releases, starting of with FurYu's stab at the Persona audience with modern day JRPG The Caligula Effect courtesy of Atlus, and later Falcom's action RGP Ys Origin. Those are download only, but not so for Spike Chunsoft's Akihabara action-adventure Akiba’s Beat, Idea Factory's otome Hakuoki: Kyoto Winds, or fantasy SRPGs Summon Night 6: Lost Borders and Utawarerumono: Mask Of Deception, not to mention DRPG Operation Babel: New Tokyo Legacy.

    Moving on to April's new game annoucements, I'm left with a somewhat truncated list as a good chunk of them were included in last months regrettably late post. Still, Nippoin Ichi did reveal their little horror game Yomawari is getting a sequel, which is already slated for localization as Yomawari: Midnight Shadows. Last months rumor about action game Drive Girls coming over has partially panned out, as it's currently scheduled for release in Europe this month, but I would be very surprised if it doesn't make its way to the states as well. Finally, two more visual novels are coming - Nurse Love Addiction a lesbian romance themed one from Degica, and Akash: Path of the Five a otome style western indie game.

    Shifting to Japan, Spike Chunsoft announced a survival action RPG Zanki Zero, about 8 people trying to get by on a post apocalyptic Earth. Meanwhile, Arc System Works are porting Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late[st], an expanded version of the anime style fighting game previously released on the PS3. And Silver Circle is bringing over a collection of their mobile/handheld puzzle platformers with Rabi X Laby: Puzzle Out Stories.

    And I'm done. Come back next month for a new action RPG from Falcom - Tokyo Xanadu:
