Saw this name in the OP of this and previous similar threads, but it's wrong. The real name is Crazy Pixel Streaker. Really fun game made by some friends.

Incredible list. Funny that I'll definitly buy most of my games in 2016 for a platform which is considered dead outside of Japan.
I was going to ask you guys what games you are interested in and then make a list of my own. When I came up to 30 games, I thought to myself that it will only devolve to a list thread for a while and decided against it.
30 upcoming games or more that I want... new 64GB card, here I come.

Cool to see our own forma.8 on this huge list! The game is definitely coming this year after a lot of delays. The current version is running very smooth on Vita and we're hard at work to keep 60fps always (we have some minor drops now) and to minimize loading times.
We'll probably have more Vita games coming in 2016, but still need some time for the announcements...

Demon Gaze 2 is a "no brainer" on that list, which means it's still unconfirmed for the west but it'll obviously be localized.

Ever played any of the Ys games? Those are probably your best bets, and Ys 8 is coming this year.
Awesome work as always Fady. Unfortunately because of my Western skewing tastes there aren't a ton of games I'm looking forward to this year, but there are a few between the aforementioned Ys 8, Not a Hero, Loud on Planet X (which has the greatest soundtrack of any game ever) and Liege if that ever comes out.

I saw that screenshot for Shakedown Hawaii and got some major Retro City Rampage vibes from it and had to go look it up. Sure enough it is a sequel to RCR! I had no idea that was in the works, what nice surprise.

This is mindblowing. How in the fuck can sony just ignore the Vita?, why not try to capitalyze in how the market is behaving regarding this console (meaning releasing a lot of games)?.
Personally, I'm still mad that they just abandoned the PSTV instead of pushing it harder, do something like a revised version with, maybe, a processor that's just a bit faster so you'd have a 1080p output with a more responsive OS, have netflix back on board with hulu, amazon, funimation, hbo and all that stuff. A device like that with all of this games?, HOLY SHIT SON!

With so many games still slated to come, it's looking like a great 2016 for the Vita.
If you enjoyed 2015 you are bound to get something from this year, too many games I'll be getting. I'll need another 64GB card...

Nice, I somehow missed that one.
January 26. It only released in Asia so far.
Yeah, I finished memories of celceta and I'm looking forward to 8.
It's ok though, found a game called Muramasa and it fits exactly what I was looking for.

awesome news!!
We're coming up on 4 years in the US. I got my 3DS XL first since I'd always owned Nintendo handhelds. A year later I got the Vita and I have barely touched my 3DS since. Nintendo makes great games, but...
Well anyway, that makes me wonder about Sony doing a Vita 1.5 rebranding, almost like what the DS Lite did for the DS but with a PSP Go-like concept, which would be far more appropriate for 2016.
First off, I love the PSP Go. Very portable, sleek. I'm using CFW which means I'm not limited to games that were released digitally. Unlike the PSP, though, pretty much every Vita game is digital as well. More games are digital than physical, in fact, and the public has come to accept digital purchases more than they had in 2009.
Were I Sony, I would release a Playstation [Go] with a similar design as the PSP Go and the addition of L2/R2 buttons (small ones in-line rather than parallel, like the original Classic Controller's ZL/ZR buttons) and make it a digital-only device with at least 32gb of on-board memory. If possible, make an alternative dashboard to match the PS4's. Price it for less and push it HARD as a PS4 companion. It has Remote Play, it's another controller, it has PS Now, It plays everything a Vita can, comes with pre-installed games and a month of PS Plus, etc. Then, release it in a bundle with the PS4 for ~$399 around the time you officially drop the price of the PS4 to $299 with some cross-save games preinstalled on both, make that a big-ass bullet point so people understand that feature clearly (because it's awesome).
I would happily double-dip for this. I love my oled Vita but let's be real. It isn't the most portable portable. The design of the PSP Go was almost perfect, it was just ahead of its time.
And all you physical-obsessed folks still have the first two models.
Or I guess you could make the PS TV your solution and fuck it up as terribly as possible.

A new handheld console from Sony wouldn't work as they seem incapable of supporting that and a home console. There also aren't enough games for the mainstream to get or for little kids for that matter.
To this day, most people that I know don't know what a Vita is.
Maybe if they made a handheld/phone hybrid with buttons.

I want this too, though my idea was also to up the processor/etc a bit so that it could handle ps2 classics (though all vita games released would need to conform to original specs so as not to split userbase). but now that ps4 has a different set of ps2 games... I think this is less likely that it already was [and it already was extremely unlikely]. But hey, maybe it could be crossbuy with ps4 trophy ps2 games.
I wouldn't want the dashboard to change though, i find vita's excellent.
I got a tablet from my wife for christmas. I used to own a gen 1 ipad, and this tablet just reminds me how much we -need- something like vita. I was playing one of the 'top rated' shooters [as well as a lot of other 'touch' games], and while it's impressive how good they've gotten touch fps, it doesn't hold a candle to two true analogs. Buttons and analog sticks are glorious.
the current page is very heavy [both visually and page load], so maybe? Is it possible to just spoiler tag the 'already released' section somehow?
Right now, the page just loads rough for me... you know, with images popping in changing where I am, and scrolling feels 'jumpy'. I don't know, the thread is awesome, maybe don't change anything.

The solution that seems apparent to me is not to make their handheld a device for the mainstream market. Design it for enthusiasts, sell it to enthusiasts, profit from enthusiasts. Sure, that means no huge budget AAA games, but it means more like the Vita.
And Vita fans love the Vita.
Also, Fady, I saw this comment on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/vita/comments/3z3608/200_games_coming_to_vita/cyj3d6n
I digital only version of the Vita makes zero sense. The PSP used a large expensive disk drive which the PSP Go removed which allowed a big size shrink. The Vita uses cartridges, which require a small slot, so there are minimal savings to be had.
Now a new form factor Vita that's a slider like the PSP Go would be a good change. I like my Vita, but the PSP Go was extremely portable and could easily be brought anywhere.

Instead of digital only it would be nice if they released new model with 16 or 32GB of storage inside that can be expanded with memory cards.
Also official price drop to 16k Yens/160$ is long overdue.

Yes, sometime this summer. Bandai Namco announced a localization for God Eater 2: Rage Burst and God Eater Resurrection (re-release of the first game).

So in my quest to play through my 120 game Vita backlog, I've given Big Sky Infinity a go. It's okay, but it just made me want to play Super Stardust, really. It could be hard to distinguish between things that could hurt you and scenery, so there were a lot of cheap deaths. The music was really good though, and there are a lot of modes on offer. I might go back to it one day, but for now it hasn't grabbed me.
Oh awesome, I'll take both please

Fantastic game. VLR is the first (and only) game I have a Platinum trophy on. Granted, it's not a particularly difficult game to plat, but the fact that I was willing and eager to go back and fill in those last few trophies I missed while playing shows how much I enjoyed the game. Have fun with it!

I could never get into Big Sky Infinity either. I really should give it another try one of these days as my opinion may have changed after all this time...
Anyway, yesterday I started working on my backlog and gave the first game that came to hand a try - in that case it it was "Phineas and Ferb". By the same people that did one of my least favourite platformers on any system ever (Muppets Movie Adventures). In this case though the game actually ended up being a fun third person shooter/platformer. By no means an amazing game but it looked, played and performed much better than I expected. Its probably a solid 6 or 7 out of 10. Its also a short easy game to complete, no platinum though so even the trophies didn't take long to collect. It also could be one of those games that is hard to track down in the future, at least in the UK. It seems to have gotten a really small release and I've not seen a copy since release.
Now I'm working through the Lego Movie game. While I prefer the console Lego games due to the larger amount of content on offer, I did really enjoy Lego Marvel Super Heroes for the Vita, and this seems almost identical in structure - many short levels with multiple goals to complete to increase replayability. This will probably take a little while to 100%.
One of my favorite threads on GAF!
I've bought mostly digital titles ever since getting my first Vita but I'm changing that starting this year. I'm going to take advantage of the fact I live in Asia where the local game shops have well-stocked shelves of Vita games. I think I'll get FF X-2 since the US bundle only includes the code (in Asia FF X-2 is a separate title from FF X--a bit more expensive when bought together but worth it IMO).
Looking forward to Severed and Attack on Titan. Going to be another expensive year.
