    It's April and here's another edition of my list of current and upcoming games for the PlayStation Vita. A few days late this time, sorry about that. Sometimes your cat decides to subtly hint that it's well past cuddle time by puking all over your bed, and things don't go as planned. Anyway, as usual this list is focused on the North American market, with Europe and Japan exclusive titles in their own sections below.

    This month sports two full retail releases - first all three Assassin's Creed Chronicles, the 2D AC spin-off series, come out in a single collected volume. Then later Experience's very pretty looking dungeon crawler RPG Stranger of Sword City comes out courtesy of NIS America. Else the long promised port of Axiom Verge makes its appearance, as well as action-adventrue Lumo, puzzle game A Virus Named Tom, and action puzzle game Green Game: TimeSwapper. As always, expect more release dates as the month goes on.

    For new game announcements, Hatsune Miku: Project Diva X coming out in English was the big one. Else, more indies like Laser Disco Defenders, 10 Second Ninja X, Quantum Suicide, Fallen Legion, and Best Buds vs. Bad Guys. English trophies for Spike Chunsoft's roguelike Mystery Chronicle have been spotted, which tends to imply a localization might be underway. In other news, the Broforce and Pier Solar ports have been canceled, and thus removed from the list.

    Over in Japan, Compile Heart is at it again with RPGs Genkai Tokki: Seven Pirates and Kangokutou Mary Skelter, as is NIS with horror visual novel Shin Hayarigami 2 and something called World's Longest 5 Mins. Also the Fate franchise gets an Musou-style game, and there's another Utawarerumono. And a port of doujin metroidvania Bunny Must Die.

    And it looks like we're finally done. Join me next month when THERE'S MORE NEPTUNIA!!!!!!!!!! This time she teams up with Blanc to handle modern, topical issues like zombies.

    FINALLY

    Axiom Verge FINALLY hits the Vita.

    Also looking forward to seeing if Stranger of Sword City is worth my time. It looks interesting.
