August Vita lineup and upcoming titles

It's August, and I'm a bit late... again. But still here it 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.

Looking at this months releases, it's pretty slim pickings. To paraphrase Army of Darkness, you ain't got nothin' but Summon Night 6 and Windjammers, and Summon Night left town. Or at least got delayed again, this time to September. As usual smaller indie games will usually pop up out of nowhere on PSN, and September is pretty packed so the only reason to despair is if you're pre-ordering Danganronpa V3!

Not a lot of new game announcements last month either, mainly another classic SNK fighting game Samurai Shodown V Special, and another Kemco retro RPG Antiquia Lost. Well, Funbox Media is cooking up some real bangers for the Nintendo Switch, and Vita owners are lucky enough to get in on the action. Look forward to a "Fun and Quirky shoot-em-up game" with Chicken Range, and nonstop action casino minigames with Vegas Party.

Over in Japan it was more lively, as Atlus in their usual timely fashion has decided to cash in on the success of Persona 4 Golden with Persona 3: Dancing Moon Night and Persona 5: Dancing Star Night rhythm games. Also comedy action anime franchise Gintama is getting Gintama: Project Last Game, speculated to be based on the mechanics of One Piece: Burning Blood. And in a somewhat oddball announcement, it looks like the free to play MMO Onigiri is getting a Vita version as well.

And we're done. Come back next month for more Ys, more Utawarerumono, more Danganronpa. Heck, who knows, maybe Summon Night 6 won't suffer yet another delay.
