Support NeoGAF

[ajcacio]

Any news on Not a Hero? I loved OlliOlli 1 and 2 and thought it was supposed to come out in 2015

 

[18-Volt]

Amazing support Vita gets. I especially love the Namco and KoTec support.

And I want more localizations! Especially these:

Luminous Arc Infinity
KanColle Vita
Crows Burning Edge
Coven and the Labyrinth of Refrain
Hero Must Die
Death Under the Labyrinth
Gundam Breaker 3
City Shrouded in Shadow
Mystery Chronicle
Grand Kingdom

No confirmation or denial yet on that Xcom Vita rumor?

Its trophy list as surfaced. It's definitely coming, we just need a official word from 2K.

 

[Fdkn]

subscribed again, thanks for the hard work

This year is going to be insane for vita too.

 

[retroman]

Thanks for the list!

La Vita è bella

 

[Shinriji]

Thanks for another year of hard work.

This year I want to work on my backlog and buy only the essential: Dragon Quest Heroes 2, DQ Builders, SAGA and Cosmic Star Heroine.

 

[wowbaggerBR]

Thanks for the awesome thread!

 

[That1BlackGuy]

Fantastic work yet again Fady; looking forward to another great year of games for the platform.

 

[Zeta Oni]

Anybody know which of these fall under the Action-RPG genre ?

Picked up SAO: Lost Song recently and while I could care less about the plot, the combat in the game is pretty good and has a decent amount of depth to it.

Made me want something with some deeper combat that I can take on the go, like a mobile dragons dogma.

Great list btw, didn't even know Hollow Realization was a thing, hope it fixes the issues I had with Lost Song.

 

[Skilletor]

Has Star Ocean been confirmed for an NA release?

 

[eFKac]

Ehh still not cleaned up a lot of the supposed releases. Wonderflick is not coming. Imagination is the only escape caught my eye again in this year's thread just to my interest be shattered because the project is dead. And there are probably more.

 

[NeoHorizon]

So many localized Japanese games this year! I'm so excited for Cold Steel II, Trillion, Root Letter, Tag Blanc, Odin Sphere, and Moero Crystal. Getting Digimon on ps4 instead since there's no physical format for the vita :/. SAO Hollow Realization looks so gorgous on the ps4 so I can't pass up on that.

 

[Etzer]

Fantastic OP.

Loving my new Vita. My 64GB card is ready for the new year.

 

[Prelude.]

Getting Digimon on ps4 instead since there's no physical format for the vita :/

Still unconfirmed but keep an eye out for this.

 

[Steel]

But the vita is dead!

 

[down 2 orth]

Damn, at this rate I can't justify a 3DS purchase with the current and forthcoming Vita backlog. Hopefully the NX has backward compatibility...

 

[HotHamBoy]

But the vita is dead!

It has to be the best-supported hardware flop of all time. Considering that more and more retail stores are completely phasing it off shelves, there sure are a lot of games coming out this year.

You know, there may not be a lot of exclusives to the system, but who gives a shit? Same can be said of the home consoles, honestly, and the point is that there's games to play, damn good ones, with cross-buy, cross-save, ps plus and all that shit. Not too mention that these are portable versions of these games and isn't that the real point and not whether or not the game can also be played on other platforms? I personally love having these indies on my PS4 and Vita for one price. Unprecedented. Nintendo doesn't do that.

 

[spannicus]

Awesome list, those Japanese games though haha, all i saw was girls hehe.

 

[TonkatsuAddict]

Not too mention that these are portable versions of these games and isn't that the real point and not whether or not the game can also be played on other platforms?

This times a hundred. I can't take my PS4 to work. I can't be sitting in front of the TV while cooking dinner. My couch is not present at the doctor's office. I love my consoles, don't get me wrong, but now that I'm out of college, I just don't have nearly as many periods of time where I can sit down and play games in front of the TV. It's a bit sad, since there are a lot of games I want to play on there, but if it weren't for the Vita, I wouldn't be able to play nearly as much as I do.

 

[Quixzlizx]

Ray Gigant was announced for localization?

 

[StereoVsn]

Man, there are a ton of games I am interested in. Plus I am fairly certain some of the Japanese games will be localized as well.

I will get some of them in PS4 or PC but still a ton. I could see getting around 20 games on that list over next couple years.

 

[autoduelist]

I wish my computer handled all those gifs better, but it's so hard to just casually scroll through them. Great thread as always... though I suppose eventually it might make sense to just remove the 'aleady released' section since it just increases page load issues.

 

[psynergylover]

not enough sogood.gif to describe this thread!!! always read these even before my account was approved

Vitagaf....ASSEMBLE!!!!!!!!!

 

[Steel]

Wasn't Net High announced for localization?

 

[Infernal Monkey]

Ray Gigant was announced for localization?

Yep, back in November. It'll be digital-only. http://gematsu.com/2015/11/ray-gigant-coming-west-psn-spring-2016

Wasn't Net High announced for localization?

Nothing official yet. An English language trophy list has popped up though.

 

[Cornbread78]

So many games, damn.

I want a NA release date for Star Ocean 2 already!

I would be shocked if even a couple of those anime based games made it to EU or NA though.

 

[NeoHorizon]

Still unconfirmed but keep an eye out for this.

Thanks. First time seeing this and I'll be sure to follow their twitter.

 

[TonkatsuAddict]

So many games, damn.

I want a NA release date for Star Ocean 2 already!

I would be shocked if even a couple of those anime based games made it to EU or NA though.

Those anime-based games are probably not very good, honestly, but part of me still wants to play them. I very nearly bought the Date A Live game when I was in Japan, but just couldn't justify $35 for a game in a language I can't read.

 

[baddvision]

i feel like a lot of these games have been quietly cancelled, there has been no news since they were announcement ie The Legend of Raven. Risk of Rain, Mercenary Kings, and a few others

 

[kurahador]

Still unconfirmed but keep an eye out for this.

Wow...I totally forgot about this game. Still playing Cold Steel too.

 

[The12thGripper]

Is this thread a good place to ask for game recommendations? I feel like I stopped paying attention to the Vita for a while and I missed out on a bunch of stuff so I'd like to fix that.

I primarily play JRPGs but that's kind of a generic label so here's my Backloggery so you can see what I have and what kind of JRPGs I like to play.

Spoiler

also i only buy physical so if something's digital, i'm not buying it

 

[Hinchy]

Hey hey! I see the game I am doing programming and music on, The Legend Of Doodle, is on this post. It's also got a very, very, very, very, very, very out of date and poor quality screenshot (and one not at Vita res, either). It now looks like this:

Happy Vita-ing in 2016, everyone!

 

[Funyarinpa]

Fady means life!

GOAT thread returns!

Goddamn it hurts to look at these threads, so much Vita goodness.

Expecting great things from the Vita this year.

Zero Time Dilemma and New Danganronpa V3 better be pretty damn good.

I really hope we'll get a Net High and New Danganronpa V3 localization!

 

[DarkLordMalik]

Great work as always Fady.

P.S Adventure Time: Finn & Jake Investigations is definitely not on Vita. It is available on PS3/PS4 though.

 

[Recompose]

Glad that Muv Luv is getting localized for the Vita. I was pretty surprised to find that the localized VN selection for the Vita to be sort of barren, so I'm happy for any new VN that finds its way to the west.

 

[Dream_Journey]

I love myVita! Great work!

 

[immortal-joe]

King of threads has returned. Hail.

 

[Nikodemos]

Isn't Children of Morta announced for Vita as well?

 

[IvanJ]

So many games, some of them even interesting. But I know I will still not buy a single one of them, I just cannot force myself to play a game on a handheld.
With my PS+ expiring soon, I will lose all those "free" games that are sitting in the download list and never got downloaded and played anyway.

[jjasso21]

Love my Vita! So many great games this upcoming year. I know i'll splurge on it, but no regrets. Who says the Vita is dead,

Spoiler

other than Sony

.

 

[Phoenix944]

Nice job OP. 2016 looks good for Vita.

Still no news on Sony approval for The Grisaia Trilogy ? :/

 

[Nikodemos]

<incoming trololo>

Spoiler

Y'know, looking at all these titles makes me happy Sony delivered on their promise of console gaming on the go.

 

[Fady K]

Ah, my most visited thread is back for a 2016 edition. Thank you Fady for all your hard wotk and a happy new year!

You are most welcome buddy Here's hoping you enjoy this one even more!

In for another great year of Vita games!

Let's go!

Much to look forward to Enjoy

As with last year's, don't think this will be leaving my followed threads. Thanks as always Fady

Humbled Kresnik, good to see you here! I'll be updating this thread more frequently God willing. Enjoy

Why are there 2015 releases in this

Hi Flandy. My idea with keeping some of the 2015 releases is basically to provide a list of games that are not too old for the people who are new to the Vita and want to skim through some games they may have missed out on. By the time a game is a few weeks/months old, I add to that list.

Bless you, Vita. May you keep being an indie game heaven for many years to come.

Thanks for the amazing OP. I didn't even know Volgarr or Chroma Squad were heading to Vita, so that's great news.

You're most welcome Weltall Zero <3 That's the thing, hoping this thread will raise awareness on many upcoming games!

NIIIIIIICE!

Corrections:
Project Setsuna AKA Ikenie To Yuki No Setsuna is confirmed for localization in the west. It was originally announced at E3.
The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel = Eiyuu Densetsu: Sen no Kiseki II so you have the game listed twice.
Wonderflick Vita was never released and is essentially dead.

Hi Hexa! I know Project Setsuna was shown at E3, but if that means a western release for sure then I'll add it there for now (and i'm praying for it as the game looks GORGEROUS)! Anyway, I moved it up. Removed Eiyuu Densetsu and Wonderflick. Thanks a lot for the feedback friend!

Thanks you for the thread. Great work as always.

You are most welcome FDC1 Enjoy it!

I like the Vita, but never really think to play it or have much of an inkling to. Most of these games are indies or niche titles, too, and not system sellers.

I have nothing against indies and some look interesting, but most are too niche.

The Vita is indeed mostly a haven for indie games, though every now and then we get a pretty sweet game from a big developer, mostly in the form of RPGs and Strategy games.

Amazing work, Fady! So many games on here I'm eager to play.

Thanks a lot mathewwhatever Enjoy the thread, much more to come hopefully

Do we know the official release for Severed? That game was suppose to come out last year.

No release date yet though it was previously expected at the end of 2015 so hopefully real soon

Secret best NeoGAF thread. <3

Glad to be of service <3 Enjoy it bud! Much more to come hopefully

All hail Fady K! Thanks for the great work.

Get Off My Lawn! has a wrong screenshot though

You're so kind nampad, thanks a lot!! Enjoy it. Also - thanks for the feedback - fixed the image to this:

Adventure Time: Finn & Jake Investigations is on Vita?

My bad, apparently this was announced for 3DS but not the Vita. Odd decision IMO. Removed it.

2016 will be a great year for VitaGAF!
Thanks for the new thread Fady.

You are most welcome Kalamoj Enjoy it ^_^

Anyway, nice job Fady, can't wait to pick up a fair few of the above games this year, really looking forward to importing a few more games from Japan, grabbing the English Asian release of stuff like Digimon and giving Ray Gigant a try (really like the look of that game). Hoping Net High gets a solid confirmation of an English version this year as well, I think it was rumoured last year.

Thanks for the kind words Shadowman16 Many lovely games to look forward to this year! I bet we'll be getting many more localizations too! Net High - I expect that to come out in English due to the trophy leak

Amazing work as always Fady.

A suggestion - and maybe this is something we can all chip in with - can we get updated screenshots of things? A lot of those projects probably have more up to date images/gifs that might better reflect the game.

But still - incredible work.

Hi Moobabe! Always nice to see you, many thanks for the kind words and feedback! I'm all for it actually - I updated a few things already. If you or anyone catches anything do let me know and I'll update the images as soon as possible

Thank you very much for creating another Vita thread, I greatly appreciate it!

Btw, several of the games you listed in the opening post have already been released, for instance Nuclear Throne.

EDIT: Never mind, I see that it's now listed under "New Attractions".

You are most welcome Occam! Enjoy the thread, i'll be updating as frequently as possible

I'm sure that that Jazz: Trump's Journey, or whatever it's called, is out as well.

I left Jazz in the upcoming section as it did not release in North America and I wonder at this rate if it ever will. Game looks charming, odd omission from the developer.

Subbed. I might get back into the Vita.

Enjoy it man

Hugely impressive list. I didn't even realize the Vita had this much content coming. More then enough to warrant a purchase.

Indeed Kevin! That's one of this thread's goals - to raise awareness on the ludicrous amount of games coming out ;D

Excellent thread once again. Looking forward to a number of games on the list, Zero Escape and Danganronpa being primary among them.

Thanks for the kind words TonkatsuAddict Good taste btw, I'm currently playing through Virtue's Last Reward ^^

So crazy seeing the Kick Off logo.

That's one revival no one saw coming!

The return of best thread.
Vita so cool.

Thanks a lot Numb Much appreciated, enjoy the thread

Great job again, I've never heard of several interesting looking indies up there.

Also, this might be helpful too, I don't know if you've seen it before Fady K.



It's pretty much only major releases so not as in-depth as this thread.

Thanks a lot Prelude ;D Btw - thanks for that image - it looks EPIC and neat!!! Thanks to you, I added Demon Gaze 2 in the upcoming games; thought it was Japan-only so far.

Great work, subscribed!

Thanks a lot mellan_Konsten Enjoy the thread, much more to come hopefully

Wow great line up!

Indeed!! There's so much coming out, pretty crazy and unexpected for 2016.

Once again great work Fady K.

And somehow there's always something new and cool and I didn't know about. Never heard about Dex, Lumo and Randall and they all look cool.

Thanks a lot VLiberty, nice to see you here Hopefully there'll be even more cool things to add to your list eventually.

Any news on Not a Hero? I loved OlliOlli 1 and 2 and thought it was supposed to come out in 2015

No news yet, but I'd expect Q1 2016 at the latest.

Amazing support Vita gets. I especially love the Namco and KoTec support.

Bandai Namco and Koei Tecmo have had an incredible turnaround this generation, they are super awesome and listen to their fans a lot more.

subscribed again, thanks for the hard work

This year is going to be insane for vita too.

Awesome, you're most welcome bud Enjoy it; i'll be adding plenty more as more stuff gets featured and announced.

Thanks for the list!

La Vita è bella

You are most welcome retroman Enjoy it

Thanks for another year of hard work.

This year I want to work on my backlog and buy only the essential: Dragon Quest Heroes 2, DQ Builders, SAGA and Cosmic Star Heroine.

You are most welcome Shinriji, been seeing u in these threads since the first one ;D I too have a big backlog to work on *_*

Thanks for the awesome thread!

You are most welcome wowbaggerBR, enjoy it ^^

Fantastic work yet again Fady; looking forward to another great year of games for the platform.

Good to see you here bud, thanks for the kind words and enjoy the thread

Has Star Ocean been confirmed for an NA release?

No, though it would be easy for Square Enix I believe as they already have the second game on the PSP in English

Ehh still not cleaned up a lot of the supposed releases. Wonderflick is not coming. Imagination is the only escape caught my eye again in this year's thread just to my interest be shattered because the project is dead. And there are probably more.

Hi eFKac, I removed Wonderflick, thanks for the feedback. As for Imagination is the Only Escape, the developer mentioned last summer that it's still being worked on. Did you read a more recent report? If you notice anything else that is outdated/canceled, do let me know and I'll be sure to remove them ;D

Fantastic OP.

Loving my new Vita. My 64GB card is ready for the new year.

Thanks for the kind words Your 64GB should serve you well

It has to be the best-supported hardware flop of all time. Considering that more and more retail stores are completely phasing it off shelves, there sure are a lot of games coming out this year.

I personally love having these indies on my PS4 and Vita for one price. Unprecedented. Nintendo doesn't do that.

PREACH bro You totally hit it, spot on. Agreed with every word ;D To be fair content wise I think the 3DS doesn't come close, and I say that as a 3DS owner who was more impressed, at this point, with the original DS's games.

Awesome list, those Japanese games though haha, all i saw was girls hehe.

Haha! I notice that when I add new images for the upcoming Japanese games; the funny thing is - I try to look for other pics not just focusing on girls to avoid confusion, but alas

I wish my computer handled all those gifs better, but it's so hard to just casually scroll through them. Great thread as always... though I suppose eventually it might make sense to just remove the 'aleady released' section since it just increases page load issues.

This thread is for you guys, so if most of you would like to have the number of released games cut down (as in, have the oldest games removed), I'm down for it ;D The only reason I have them there is for: a) new Vita owners to have a look at what they may have missed out on and b) for current Vita owners who want to pick up something they missed after finishing their latest games.

not enough sogood.gif to describe this thread!!! always read these even before my account was approved

i feel like a lot of these games have been quietly cancelled, there has been no news since they were announcement ie The Legend of Raven. Risk of Rain, Mercenary Kings, and a few others

Hi baddvision, I know there are at least a dozen games which haven't been updated in ages; though I left them there due to not hearing of any official cancellations. Let me know if any of them have been killed off already and I'll be sure to remove them ;D Btw Mercenary Kings is still coming, Tribute Games said so as of December 2015.

Hey hey! I see the game I am doing programming and music on, The Legend Of Doodle, is on this post. It's also got a very, very, very, very, very, very out of date and poor quality screenshot (and one not at Vita res, either). It now looks like this:

Always a pleasure to see a developer here <3 APOLOGIES for using such an old pic. The image has now been fixed Enjoy the thread and good luck to you and the team on the game!

GOAT thread returns!

Goddamn it hurts to look at these threads, so much Vita goodness.

Expecting great things from the Vita this year.

Zero Time Dilemma and New Danganronpa V3 better be pretty damn good.

I really hope we'll get a Net High and New Danganronpa V3 localization!

Good to see you here Funyarinpa, welcome to the 2016 thread <3

So much goodness indeed <3 I bet you we'll be getting Net High and especially DV3 ;D

Great work as always Fady.

P.S Adventure Time: Finn & Jake Investigations is definitely not on Vita. It is available on PS3/PS4 though.

Thank you kindly Malik ^^

Yeah - I messed up on that one: totally thought it was on the Vita after seeing it was for the PS4/3 AND 3DS. Removed it now

I love myVita! Great work!

Thanks for the very kind words Dream_Journey. You will see in this thread that many of us totally relate to your for the Vita

King of threads has returned. Hail.

Thanks for the very kind words Gray Fox ;D

Isn't Children of Morta announced for Vita as well?

Indeed it is! Thanks to you, we now have this on the list:

[Acosta]

I love the passion and commitment of this thread. Thanks and kudos! Let's enjoy the beautiful handheld all we can.

Myself, I have high hopes for Sword of the Stranger City (and crossing fingers for Danganronpa in English this year).

 

[ZeroX03]

Powered through the list, but unless Next Order comes West without a PS4 port I'm not interested in anything on there that I couldn't play on another system. Disappointing.

 

[2+2=5]

Amazing job as usual Fady K
I would suggest to order games alphabetically but i'm ok with the thread as is.

All those saying "X game is already released/cancelled/whatever" should take into account that few errors in such massive lists always happen, also you should take into account that there are some regional release differences.

 

[Labadal]

So many games that I want. This isn't okay. No more, please!

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

The Last Blade 2

Stranger of Sword City

Zero Escape Volume 3: Zero Time Dilemma

World of Final Fantasy

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night

Drift Stage

The Banner Saga

Axiom Verge

Project Mighty No. 9

So much yes! Even if this were the only system I owned, it would have more than enough to fill all my gaming time.
