Top of the page recommendation: Buy Tokyo Jungle Mobile for PS Vita through the PlayStation Mobile store. It's basically Tokyo Jungle but on a 2D plane so it's great.

Who designs this packaging? It's terrible. It looks like a knock-off product. And why is it showing Killzone Liberation (PSP) art on the cover?

Because Killzone: Liberation and God of War: Ghost of Sparta are included. The Mega Packs are often filled out with PSP games.

So are you saying there's a chance?

He's not referring to this, but Operation Decode, which is a petition to get the 3DS game (itself a port of a PSP game - which has a fantranslation on the cusp of release) localized. I dunno how a 3DS localization gets a Vita game localized.

 

[NinjamicWZ]

Yeah, Tokyo Jungle Mobile is fine... I'd kill for the real deal, but it's good enough. Top 5 PSM games easy.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

so no sales this week in NA? I haven't seen a post and it looks as if the store has updated.

Hahaha, I didn't noticed Liberation game XD as long at there's no description no idea if the included game is Liberation or Mercenary :S. Sony is hiring too cheap these days XD.

I was just thinking that.

For real! We might get confirmation tomorrow, right?

Same here. I thought it was only inviting PS4 owners at first though today. Surprised me considering I only have PS3/Vita

Any news on June PS + titles?

No news so far, but the expectation is that at least one big AAA game will land on PS+ for the PS4 (whenever it is a first party tittle like Killzone/Knack or a third party tittle like ACIV/Battlefield 4). For PS3, I expect the yearly games to reset (with them being replaced by Ratchet Nexus, God of War Assention, and Beyond Two Souls). With the Vita, we might get a HUGE game landing on Plus (like Persona 4 Golden or a very new game like Soul Sacrifice Delta).

Either way, cool stuff is coming !

Why is this an expectation? E3?

I'd certainly like a big, unprecedented title on Vita.

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

Ooh Puppeteer is the PS+ freebie this week.

I'll go ahead and sell off my retail copy then.

 

[sajj316]

same here. PS3 only. Would rather have PS4.

 

[RK128]

Well, Sony usually has the PS+ Yearly Refresh be nice point of their conferences, so I would expect that for the PS3 . As for the PS4, considering how there hasn't been any 'big' games landing on the PS4 Plus yet, E3 might be a great time to announce an AAA game to land on PS+; the most likely guess is either Killzone SF Single Player Camapin + 'Free Multiplayer' (the type where you have a level cap and have to pain to continue leveling), Knack (despite its low Metacritic score, it IS a big PS4 game, so it makes since for it to be a PS+ tittle, and/or AC IV (ACIII came on EU plus and Ubisoft is close with Sony; they would most likely be cool with the game being on Plus).

 

[RalchAC]

Hahaha, I didn't noticed Liberation game XD as long at there's no description no idea if the included game is Liberation or Mercenary :S. Sony is hiring too cheap these days XD.

MegaPacks include 5+ games and a memory card for 40€.

Do you really think they'd include Killzone Mercenary so soon?

The bad thing is that the pack has a 8GB memory card. On Amazon.es I can find most of those bundles with a 16GB one.

I'm expecting a PSVita pricedrop + mem card price drop + 64GB release. I think it'll happen around GamesCom (West) and TGS (Japan).

Why won't they do both at the same time? Because that means less money

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

I will never pay more than £50 for 64 gigs of memory. I hope E3 brings some good news in that department, if we're getting no big Vita titles.

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2014/05/20/r-type-dimensions-out-today-on-ps3/

First off, R-Type Dimensions features a newly arranged soundtrack by Kenichiro Iwasaki that is pure audio bliss, and is a perfect matchup to the game’s new HD graphics.

Pretty certain the new soundtrack is actually indeed new, it wasn't in the 2009 XBLA version.

This is cool too:

And if a player prefers to map any of the controls to another button, R-Type Dimensions features full controller customization, too!

Another new feature which I am in love with is the slow-motion feature. At any point during the game, players can hold down the L2 Button (by default) and enter a super slowed down mode that brings the action to a crawl, and allows players to better analyze their surroundings to make calculated shots and maneuvers.

Anyone picked it up yet ?

 

[Dugna]

Holy crap the PSBlog shows a huge freaking Transistor add now. Weird that they did this for only this game.

 

[clarkision]

Anybody think there being minimal sales today is indicative of there being a HUGE sale this weekend? Or am I just being hopeful?

Oh!
Oh...
Still kinda want.

 

[Ingueferroque]

Any impressions on Dragon Beat Pinball (PS1)? I can't find anything about it online. I guess I can't hope for it to be anywhere near the Digital Pinball games for Saturn in quality?

(Such as Necronomican or Last Gladiator)

 

[blackgandorf]

Anyone here grabs the Ultra SFIV DLC preorder on PSN? They are giving some costumes and a XMB theme. I wanna know if is a dynamic or static theme :/

Yay @ muramasa dlcs being on sale shortly after the game went on sale.

2,50 each one chaps, so get'em if you still don't have them.

Just to be sure, I can't buy DLCs from the EU store and use them on an imported US Vita game, right?

Haha I didn't start my masters thesis until around 36 hours before it was due, and that turned out fine also.

Spoiler

To be fair, there was a problem with the data such that I didn't have access before then but still

And that is exactly how I feel about Child of Light. It was a "hmm that looks interesting, but I'll never play it" on consoles to a "well now I really want this, looks perfect for vita". Vita may be life, but it is also crack.

Woo mama! Having a controller mapping options shouldn't be news in the god damn 21st Century, but the XBLA version was missing it and had fire and force mapped to the wrong buttons. Different to every other console version of R-Type I've ever played. Which is all of them. The unchangeable button layout was mental if you wanted to use a joystick.

I'll buy this as soon as I get home from work.

 

[killatopak]

Muramasa Rebirth DLC are both $2.50 right now (normally $5). Good deal!

Damn shouldn't have bought them earlier.

Oh well. I hope this help Vanillaware make some new games.

Yeah it's a bit hard. But I'm in the precess right now to make sure all my stuff is going to a good home.

At the end of the day, I will be down to these games (physical wise)

+ Final Fantasy III (SNES) but that shit is locked up in a safe.

Still a cool collection. So many FF8s!

Is this out in Europe today (weds) too?

Have £23 in my PSN account, and trying to decide between Child of Light and Transistor. And now R-type

 

[Drayco21]

Found Killzone Mercenary on sale and picked it up the other day- maybe it's just that I had next to no expectations for either a Killzone game or another first-person shooter, but I'm really, really enjoying this one. I'd still rather see them reboot MediEvil for the Vita, but I wouldn't mind if Guerrilla Cambridge did more Killzone games instead.
