    Q4 is here with October and so am I again with a run down of the current and upcoming games 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.

    Starting off with new releases, while we don't have dates for a lot of titles yet, the ones we do are pretty notable. First of all Senran Kagura: Shinovi Versus brings NSFW ninja hack n' slash action on the 14th, then Samurai Warriors 4 does the same but with a more feudal Japan bent. Finally, Studio Japan's good looking third person shooter / boss hunting game Freedom Wars rounds out the month.

    As for new licenses, I'm running a bit short on time, so I'll have to be a bit brief. Lots of indies as usual, including Aqua Kitty DX and SteamWorld Heist, as well as a port of the PSN classic Söldner-X 2: Final Prototype and a LittleBigPlanet runner - Run SackBoy! Run!. In Japan a Vita port of Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory was annouced, as well as a new Dungeon Travelers DRPG, a Touhou roguelike, and a ton of otome games. For a full list look below.

    And that's it. Come back next month when it looks like Tales of Hearts R will be making its appearance.

    The Vita releases in EU have been pretty sparse recently, but I'm really looking forward to Söldner X-2. I adore euroshmups, and the Vita is probably the next best thing to play those on after the Amiga.

    You should take off Murasaki Baby from the downloads list since that came out last month.

    Other then that, good list as usual. To bad I don't use my Vita anymore. I have some good games in there but I just never find the time to play it because PS4 and PS3 backlog. Plus, I hate playing games outside of home. So my Vita stays untouched. Besides the times my brother plays it.

    I do wonder what the reaction to this will be when it gets released. Burst went largely under the radar, but this is more or less "the" notable new PlayStation TV launch title. If people get bent out of shape over Danganronpa, I can't imagine this going well.

    I'd guess they want to get Freedom Wars out first. Also, I think the development team were working on improving some parts of the game that were poorly received in Japan, though that was a while ago.

    Thanks, with so many downloadable titles coming out on short notice, it's sometimes hard to keep track of them all.

    Anyway, thanks for reading guys!

    They should just port that game to everything. The Android version just came out last month and it's fantastic.

    True! It's a shame the original art is supposedly too small to be made into a proper PC-port. Here's hoping they sell enough of the other versions to eventually afford re-doing that stuff.
