    March is here, and after a few snags with the site I'm back once again with my list of current and upcoming titles for the PlayStation Vita is still monthly. As usual this list is focused on the North American market, with Europe and Japan exclusive titles in their own sections below.

    For new releases, March is looking pretty good so far. First is yet another Atlier game from Gust, this time Firis who's apparently going on a Mysterious Journey. Also coming Tuesday is old school, top-down soccer in Dino Dini’s Kick Off Revival, the somewhat Breakout-ish Gem Smashers where you control the ball for once, and and adaptation of the Talisman board game. Later in the month you can pick up some retail releases if you want - a more open world take on monster hunting with Toukiden 2, the SRPG God Wars: Future Past, and Zero Escape: The Nonary Games, which combines the previously released Virtue's Last Reward with an enhanced port of 999: 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors that adds higher resolution graphics and voice acting. (Also a shout-out to DRPG Stranger of Sword City Revisited which snuck out just at the end of February.)

    Onto new games, February was a bit of a light month. Mainly NISA revealed that they're bringing Touhou Koubuto V over, which seems to be a Touhou derived Virtua On clone, also we're also getting a localized release of rhythm game Deemo. Else the previously annouced Tattoo Nation has become Tokyo Tattoo Girls, and I put Gust's RPG Blue Relection in unconfirmed as there have been English trophies spotted for it. In less plesant news, Chroma Squad and Forgotten Memories have been cancelled. Also XSEED confirmed they've passed on Net High, as it was deemed too challenging to localize.

    Over in Japan, D3 announced Omega Labyrinth Z, either a sequel or an expanded rerelease of the Omega Labyrinth dungeon crawler.

    And I think we're done. Come back next month for A Rose in the Twilight.

    Looks like four purchases for me this month, although I'm actually going to get the PS4 versions of a couple of them (Toukiden, Firis).

    @thewildcard: Yeah, picking the Vita or the PS4 version can be a bit of a quandary. I guess it ends up depending on the game type for me. I think anything slow or turn-based I'll probably enjoy more on the Vita. And I figure should I ever want the PS4 version later it'll probably be available for cheap sometime down the road.

    We are now officially community spotlight Vita buddies.

    To actually contribute something to the discussion, I have played a fair share of the obscure visual novels in this list on PC. Sharin no Kuni, Himawari no Shōjo was one I enjoyed a whole, whole lot at the time I played it.

    Also I'm gonna end up buying that Zero Escape collection at some point even though I actively dislike the only one I've played (VLR). I just... I have to know. I have to see the fullness of this thing that I really, really, really dislike. Okay, I'll say the word. I hate it. And the depth of my hatred has made me horribly morbidly curious and now I have to see this thing through.
