September Vita lineup and upcoming titles

By BlackLagoon 0 Comments

Uh, yeah, what can I say, bad month. However it is still September, and my record of not missing a month is still intact. So lets get straight into it, 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.

Out this month is visual novel Punch Line, a companion to the anime series with the same name written by Zero Escape creator Kotaro Uchikoshi. Also published were a slew of indies, including shoot 'em up FullBlast, platformer Sigi - A Fart for Melusina, action platformer Super Mutant Alien Assault, narrative adventure Stay, platformer Jack N' Jill DX, JRPG Revenant Dogma, and metroidvania Timespinner.

On to new games... We're getting a new game from Battlefield developer DICE! Well... one they started 2 and a half decades ago for the Sega Mega Drive but was never finished or published until Strictly Limited Games picked it up. It's Project Hardcore, and it's due out next year. Also announced were a bunch of indies like brawler Hamsterdam, Thrust inspired side scrolling shooter Plutonium Pirates, side-scrolling action RPG Knight of Exile, brawler I Am The Hero, detective RPG Pixel Noir, platformer Emerald Shores, survival horror Back in 1995, and Japanese shoot 'em up Gundemoniums.

Over in Japan, Konami revealed a 2019 edition of the Pro Yakyuu Spirits Baseball sim. There were also several visual novels coming, including a remake of Root Letter called Root Letter: Last Answer which replaces the 2D art with photos live action photos of actors and the actual locations in the game.

Finally, some slight pruning of the games list. In spite of regular assurances that it was coming, Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night for Vita was formally cancelled last month. And while they were probably due to be moved to Vaporware anyway, the collapse of Telltale Games puts the final nail in the coffin for the long delayed Tales from the Borderlands and Minecraft: Story Mode ports. I also deleted Wing Kings, as it turns out that was just the working title for the already released Rogue Aces.

And with that, I think we're done. Come back next month for Experience's horror visual novel - Death Mark.
