Puyo Tetris or bust.

The Vita will normally choose bust. Mostly of the anime kind.
Vita means life, after all.
Another update for you guys (that makes it the 6th update in the last 3 days ;D!! My best shift yet!! It should hopefully get back to normal with 1 a week since I have mostly made up for the missed one month and a half with no activity.) Enjoy!
NEW GAME ANNOUNCEMENTS
*Cotton Software is porting its PC love adventure Natsumegu to the Vita. The Vita sure has its fair share of romantic love adventures ;D
*I'm beginning to lose track of all the romantic adventure games hitting the Vita, but what the heck - Tsuki ni Yorisou Otome no Sahou is another romantic adventure game announced for the Vita from HuneX and Navel
NOTE - By the way if you guys are not into these games at all, just let me know and i'll stop covering them in the updates :]
*Moving away from the romantic adventures, we have what looks like a lost survival horror game from the PS1 era by the name of Back in 1995 (it's not an oldie, it's a new game that looks like it literally was made back in 1995, still looks super cool). The game is being developed by one-man Japanese development team Throw the Warped Code Out. Hopefully the game will release this winter as planned.
*What's this? Another non-romantic adventure for the Vita? Yes indeed. How does a game that mixes up elements of Plants vs Zombies and Rock Band sound? Canadian developer Pop Sandbox thinks it's a good idea, and decided to make a rhythm-defense hybrid Vita game inspired by both called LOUD on Planet X . The game is due this autumn. Here's the kickstarter trailer.
*Square-Enix and Tozai games have announced the free to play Minna De Spelunker Z for the Vita, coming out in 2 days in Japan. The game will be cross-play and cross-save with the PS4 version.
*The big Vita announcement in this update is definitely Land of No Light - the new RPG from Gust (the Atelier games). The game will release on August 27 in Japan and looks pretty darn awesome.
NEW GAME INFO
*Good news Danganronpa fans: Both localized Danganronpa games have sold in excess of 200,000 copies in North America and Europe, an incredible number for such a niche game in the western market. More to look forward to soon with Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls and development on Danganronpa 3 is underway. Happy times!
*Some Vita fans were surprised to see the Vita version of Nom Nom Galaxy disappear. Developer Double 11 said "never say never" for the Vita version and now that they have released the PS4 version, it may very well be coming along. I'll keep you folks updated.
LOCALIZATION UPDATES
*Koei Tecmo will be bringing over Ar No Surge - Ode to an Unborn Star to western shores digitally on July 1st (Europe) and July 2nd (North America). The sci-fi fantasy JRPG is a remake of the PS3 RPG. The game will have dual audio. A physical limited edition of the game will be coming out as well thanks to NIS America <3, check out the image of it below:
*Koei Tecmo's Samurai Warriors Chronicles 3 has recently been rated in Australia, hinting at a potential localization. This is Koei Tecmo we're talking about, who are more friendly than most when it comes to localizing. Very likely.
NEW GAME MEDIA
*Here are some new screens for IdeaFactory/Compile Heart's upcoming JRPG Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 3 V Century , coming out his summer:
*Mike Bithell (the man behind Thomas Was Alone) is hard at work on his next stealth-inspired Vita game Volume . A recently revealed feature is the level editor, and you can now watch a video of that mode in action. We can expect a release date for the game in E3.

Wow - yeah that looks good
It's been out for a while, you can get it on Play Asia. Unless you are waiting for an English release, in which case I wouldn't hold your breath.

Man, I am excited to play this game. Not only do I hope it comes to Vita, but becomes available in the US as well. He was going to release it on PlayStation Mobile, but now that it's been shut down he is working with Sony directly. That's all I heard.
Edi: all thumbs up Fady
Thanks Faustek
It's been pleasant coming back to this thread again with all these updates after a long hiatus Speaking of positive feels, this thread is deliciously positive Whoa, I had no idea :0 Are we allowed to have them included in the database at least or is that forbidden as well?
What is it with this trend in a variety of Japanese games?
Glad you enjoyed it Skyzard
! Great list of games you've got there; hopefully Shiren gets localized ;DFalcom's output in recent years has been incredible ^^ Happy to see that plenty of their games are getting localized these days.
Ray Gigant? Big chance for localization I bet. One of their recent games did, and this one looks cool enough too ;D
And you're most welcome ^_^
Thanks as always for being a source of more additions to the thread Infernal! I'll look into adding them. What have you been playing?
Go for it! Plenty of stuff to play on the go
You'll find plenty of great recommendations from the awesome gamers in this thread.You are always most welcome my friend! Working on this week's update - should be ready within an hour or so.
Land of No Light
That was my pick of the bunch as well! Stunning looking title. I have a good feeling it will be coming over
Thanks SephLuis
Will fix it up! Yes, so much indeed friend. More to be added today I've got good news for you - another update should be ready shortly
Even as one of the biggest Vita fans I'm stunned by the amount of content available and to come!I heard the same and that is promising news! The fact that it may go beyond Playstation Mobile may give it more exposure ;D Hope it plays well! I love the variety of games on the Vita.
You are most welcome Skyzard, another update is in the works, to be ready within the hour God willing. Volume comes from a good dev, should be good
Thanks for the updates, Fady! I can't say the VN stuff appeals to me but hey, I'm sure there's plenty of oddball stuff I like that isn't very popular either
You are more than welcome redcrayon
Next update will be here within an hour Stay tuned bro!Thanks Shizuka! Will include them in today's update

Land of No Light looks fantastic.
Phew, just updated my "games I want to buy for the Vita" list with loads of stuff you posted Fady. Good man as always
Haha, that is awesome
! You are most welcome!! Another update to come within the hour Btw on the topic of your avatar, I recently heard a music track from Max Payne 3 - PANAMA - and it was absolutely stunning.One of the best looking Vita games I have seen in some time
Alright, here's your latest update Vitafolk
NEW ATTRACTIONS
Alien Shooter
Hyperdimension Neptunia U: Action Unleashed
NEW GAME INFO
* Scram Kitty DX was recently updated by developer Dakko Dakko - the split arms update. This update gives the game more of a twin stick shooter feel, in addition to speeding up the game's movement.
*Good news Danganronpa fans, a special edition is being released for Danganronpa: Another Episode - Ultra Despair Girls . It will feature: a copy of the game, a soft cover artbook, a soundtrack, a collector's box, a setbox, an eyepatch and a tie.
NEW GAME ANNOUNCEMENTS
Developer Brainseed Factory has announced a 2D Vita platformer for the Vita by the name of Typoman . Letters play a big part in this Limbo-resembling game. Here is the trailer.
*Marvelous has announced a new Vita game called Net High . Here's the odd premise: it involves an web surfer looking around for "fake" people, exposing their lies. Very little info is available as of now (some scans are floating around, will share screens as soon as they are available.)
*Did you really think you'd be seeing a Vita update without a new romantic visual novel being announced for the system? Think again! Silky's Plus is porting PC romantic adventure Nanairo Reincarnation to the Vita, due on September 17 in Japan.
NEW GAME MEDIA
* Chaos;Child is one of the cooler looking visual novels coming to the Vita in Japan. Here is a new trailer.
*Here is a new trailer for the upcoming trap simular Deception IV: The Nightmare Princess from Koei Tecmo. Looks awesome. Heading to the Vita digitally on July 14th & 17th (NA and Europe respectively).
*New screens and a character trailer have been released for the upcoming awesome looking visual novel adventure Steins;Gate for the Vita. (Reminder - hitting Europe on June 5 and sometime after for the NA version).
RELEASE DATE UPDATE
* Octodad: Dadliest Catch is coming *realllllly* soon to the Vita - next week! Original developer Young Horses is getting the support of Sickhead Games in bringing it to the Vita next week for $15 (US price). The game will be cross buy with the PS4 version, new trophies over the PS4 version and the ability to play co-op locally on one device. Here's a video of the Vita version being tried out.
LOCALIZATION UPDATES

What are the Warriors games like on Vita performance wise? The last I tried was some Dynasty Warriors that had shitty touch screen elements that ruined the game for me
thats dynasty warriors next, thats the only game that did that, so none of the follow up games use touch screen or motion gimics
Fantastic

Oh wow I had no idea Octodad was coming to vita and so soon! Also cross-buy! Maybe I'll get around to finishing it this time.

Koei Tecmo is releasing many games but everything is digital
No 64gb card? Not that I'd blame you given the price.
They might be like me. I don't buy much digitally. I will buy any physical vita releases though. I think I'm down to missing just 4 sports games from NA. I've got my preorder in for Ar Nosurge, but that'll be it for me. I wish they would at least do more of that with NISA. Give us a small run. It doesn't have to be a large retail release. I'm sure it's not a large profit, but it is sales that they're missing out on.
On that theme. Is there a good or reliable list that tracks releases that are physical. I utilize the wiki list, but that doesn't help much with recent or impending releases.
If you add all Gust and Koei Tecmo releases, chances are you'll fill a 64GB memory card just with those soon enough.

I understand them releasing more things digitally, there's next to no Vita presence in brick and mortar stores. I've all but given up on physical vita games at this point
Yes, DD-only. Asia and Europe are getting retail prints.
I didn't like what I saw, so...
It totally needs better animations and feedback when hit something(like when cutting a tree), but it's just in Alpha, it has potential and vita needs some more realistic/western looking zombie game, i'm not interested in multiplayer games but i hope it comes to vita anyway.

Thanks Takao.
I hear where you're coming from, I typically go after physical as well if the option is available. All things considered though, I'll take a digital copy of a game over no game at all if that's what it comes to. As far as your question, I think there was a poster who was working on something like that but I can't remember the thread he/she was in nor if they even updated it since then.
Oh no doubt, that's why I am still hoping for Sony to release bigger memory cards, as a KT fan it's gravy to see them support the platform so well.

Koei Tecmo gave us some good news, two new Musou games. I'm disappointed though, that the Nobunaga's Ambition game is only coming to the west on PS3 and PS4 and PC despite there also being a Vita version. This isn't really my franchise personally, but Nobunaga's Ambition: Sphere of Influence (aka Nobunaga no Yabou: Souzou) on Vita was customized with touch controls (including pinch-zoom from landscape to close-up battles as well as swipe-commanding) and we don't have something like that here of this scale on Vita yet. Maybe there's still a chance later since the underlying engine seems common across platforms, at least similar enough that cross-play is featured between the PlayStation systems.
(Makes me wonder what something like Eugen Systems' IRISZOOM engine would look like on a portable...)

I don't know what the chances of this are (I guess it depends on the success on the other platforms) but the Vita version also released ~6 months later than the others in Japan. Just saying.

Well, there's always a slight possibility of it coming to Vita digitally if the home console versions pan out. If Eugen Systems is the developer I am thinking about (RUSE, Wargame, AoA, etc.) then yeah it would be sick as hell to have one of their games on the Vita.
I'll take anything that does not look like the games in Fady's updates on this page so yeah bring it on! (hopefully some things get ironed out when it goes out of Alpha though, looks rough)
Souzou with powerup kit will release on vita later this month in Japan, but vanilla Souzou wasn't released for vita. Only Tendou was released day and date with the PS3 version.

I think there's a bit of confusion here. The Vita version of this game hasn't even released yet - I think it's coming out in a week in Japan. So there's still a decent chance of us seeing it in the west eventually.

Was there some confirmation that we're getting Land of No Light? I didn't see anything. Anyone know how it plays?

Holy cow @ the number of games still coming for this system, as niche as some of them may be. No doubt this system will be fondly remembered and pretty big in the collectors market in the future.
