    It's November, 2015 will soon be over, but both me and the Vita are still here for another edition of my monthly list of current and upcoming titles for the PlayStation Vita. As usual, this list is focused on the North American market, with Europe and Japan exclusive titles in their own sections below.

    The month starts off with otome visual novel Norn9, then another rhythm game, Superbeat: Xonic, if the Persona one wasn't enough for you. Then the successful fake MMO Sword Art Online series continues with Sword Art Online: Lost Song, and you can relive the glories of PS2 era bug killing with Earth Defense Force 2: Invaders From Planet Space. Download-wise, all that's been announced so far is fairytale rougelike Dragon Fin Soup and Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires. As usual, expect more date announcements for downloadable titles as the month progresses.

    Moving on to last months new title reveals, 2K finally confirmed the long rumored port of Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution 2. This is actually an enhanced "Plus" version, with new leaders, units and scenarios from Japanese history. Mobile dev iFun4All also noted they're bringing their acclaimed 2D action puzzle game Red Game Without a Great Name to the platform. Beyond that, Aksys is bringing over Aqcuire's city defense game Aegis of Earth, Idea Factory is giving us Trillion 1,000,000,000,000: God of Destruction by former Disgaea staff, and Koei Tecmo once again is the MVP with Gust's action RPG Nights of Azure and Samurai Warriors 4: Empires.

    Over in Japan, just as we're getting a the last Sword Art Online game here, they annouce a new one called Sword Art Online: Hollow Realization. Marvelous tackles the delinquent brawler genre with Uppers. The anime girls continue their fighting with Dengeki Bunko: Fighting Climax Ignition. And time manipulating side-scroller AeternoBlade returns for a sequel. Also horse racing. Finally, I know there have been a bunch of visual novel / otome game announcements I've missed. I'll have to leave them out for now, but I plan to go though and add the soon.

    And so, it looks like we're done. Next month it's Civilization time (also a new Trails of Cold Steel trailer):

    I am super excited for Trails in Cold Steel, going to get them for sure.

    Completely forgot about EDF2, but Europe doesn't seem to have a release date so I might import it.

    @atwa: Most likely EDF2 will be PSN only in Europe. It should launch fairly close to the US version though.

    Amazon and Gamestop have EDF 2 listed for a December 8th releases. I think it was pushed back without an announcement, along with EDF 4.1 on PS4.

    Awesome post! I like my Vita but I own barely any games on it. I realized that I like it because it is good for JRPGs if you don't have any of the current consoles (as JRPGS rarely come to PC). Glad to see this list of potential purchases.

    Sigh, it's often a bit of a gamble including XSEED titles on the list since they often operate with tentative dates that get pushed back. Second time it's happened with EDF2 though.

    @shaunk: Happy to be of help.

    Nice work compiling all this info!

    I've already pre-ordered EDF 2 for my PSTV. Can't wait. Unfortunately, unless I decide to get the Danganronpa games this may be the last game I buy for the PSTV, bringing the total to a whopping 5 Vita games.

    Odin Sphere! While not a new game it will be nice to have on Vita and I gotta support Vanillaware.
