Death Ray Manta is coming to PlayStation Vita.

PlayStation Vita is a console we haven’t heard much about lately, much like almost anything Sony related. Gamers have been pleading with Sony to not use DRM requirements with PlayStation 4. In that case, DRM stands for digital rights management.


However, this DRM is Death Ray Manta, a classic-style arcade shooter that uses twin arcade sticks much like Midway’s Smash TV, or Robotron. The protagonist in Death Ray Manta is a googly-eyed Elasmobranchii that shoots lasers. Yup, this is old-school gaming, where the story didn’t matter as long as the game was addictingly fun. A sort of sea creature that shoots lasers was all you needed back then.

Death Ray Manta is almost pre-NES level gaming, but back then graphics weren’t the focus so much as just making the game fun enough to keep the arcade cabinet taking your money. The game recently had a minor comeback on Android and iOS, so it makes sense that it should stay portable. Hence the PlayStation Vita.
