January Vita lineup and upcoming titles

By BlackLagoon 5 Comments

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:
