We've reached the end of May, so here's my list of current and upcoming games for the PlayStation Vita.

May was a solid month for releases, opening with Vblank's retro open world crime simulator Shakedown Hawaii. It continued with another batch of Ratalaika indie ports like My Big Sister, Devious Dungeon 2, Back in 1995, and Warlock's Tower, as well as more of Kemco's retro JRPGs in the form of Frane: Dragons' Odyssey. Finally, acclaimed visual novel The House in Fata Morgana: Dreams of the Revenants Edition made it's appearance, courtesy of Mighty Rabbit Studios.

Looking forward to June, it seems Ratalaika has no intention to stop the ports, this time releasing Neon Junctions:
