    It's January. 2019. And believe it or not, the Vita games are still coming. So without further to do, here is 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.

    Headlining this month is NightCry, the kickstarted spiritual successor to SNES classic Clock Tower. Beyond that there's puzzle game Pic-a-Pix Pieces, Kemco RPG Asdivine Hearts II, retro adventure Planet RIX-13, action adventure Heroes Trials, metriodvania Necrosphere, and narrative adventure Drowning.

    Looking at new game announcements, we're getting two shoot 'em ups. Vasara HD Collection is a port of two sengoku-era themed early 2000s arcade games. While Horizon Shift '81 is a retro shooter with a Atari 2600 aesthetic. Dropping out of the upcoming list is Catherine: Full Body, where it turns out the western release will only be for the PS4, and the Vita version stays Japan only.

    And we're done. Come back next month more steampunk otome with Code: Realize: Wintertide Miracles:

    Thanks as always! Nice to see this thing is still kicking around. It'll always be my little Spelunky machine, if nothing else.

    @mightyduck: @rorie: @eccentrixHey, thanks. It's weird looking back at how I started this in 2012, out of stubborn defiance of the people who were already declaring it dead. The Vita is in its twilight now, but I figure I might as well keep going as long as there are new releases every month at least.
