September Vita lineup and upcoming titles

By BlackLagoon 2 Comments

It's September, a big month for games for the Vita, which is great because I'm here yet again with 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.

After a relatively quiet August (surprise releases of Undertale and The Bard's Tale notwithstanding), it's great to have a packed month like this again. There's acclaimed action RPG Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana, SRPG Utawarerumono: Mask Of Truth, dungeon RPG Mary Skelter: Nightmares, and a new start for one of the platform's most notable franchises Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony. There's also the sequel to Image & Form's indie hit SteamWorld Dig 2, another retro RPG from Kemco Antiquia Lost, and car themed musou clone Drive Girls. (Additionally, it seems Summon Night 6: Lost Borders might actually make it out at the end of the month, but I remain skeptical.)

Moving over to new game announcements, Square Enix probably stole the show with the reveal of a remake of beloved SNES action RPG Secret of Mana. However NISA also let slip they're bringing Kadokawa's dungeon crawler The Lost Child to the west, and the devs for indies Valfaris, Ghost 1.0, and One More Dungeon indicated Vita ports are coming.

Over in Japan Gust is at work on another Atlier game Atelier Lydie & Soeur, and 5pb. is doing an expanded and enhanced version of Steins;Gate. Bamco is doing a dungeon crawler based on the "Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?" franchise. And D3 Publisher gives their cute girls with guns third person shooter franchise a fantasy makeover with Bullet Girls Phantasia. Beyond that there were a bunch of visual novels, including a lot of otome. See the list for full details.

Finally, another casualty, as Witch Beam have announced they've given up on porting Assault Android Cactus to the Vita due to performance issues. As such it has been removed from the list.

And I'm done! See you again in October when a new Science Adventure visual novel makes it's appearance with Chaos;Child.
