Wait, would this include getting Konami to finally make Suikoden VI, with a Vita companion? Or only games that already exist, just not on PS hardware? Can we fight for a new Suikoden?

Sony, all I ask for is Valkyria Chronicles 3 and Yakuza 5, help get those two localize those and you can have my day one money, I'll especially buy a Vita for a compatible version of the former.
With Type-0 it's definitely a porting issue. I will laugh if Square Enix and Sony think it's okay to launch that game as a PSP release in 2014 because that will have meant SE sat on it for almost three years for absolutely nothing.
I love opportunities to bring attention to ports and localization and such, things where momentum comes from fans, but as far as public information is concerned we're not further than we were months ago from Third Party Relations. He routinely says they will announce something later or they are working on something, etc.
The good thing is if you are late to this you can still tweet him with your suggestions.
Also, localize like all of Sega's stuff. Starting with Valkyria Chronicles 3 if no one else is doing it.

Bro, don't play with my emotions like that!!! Also put them on the PS3/vita as well, please.
I'll take the ports. Would love to see Shenmue 1 & 2 on a console in higher res.
But this program in general, I love the sound of it.

Well, there is niche and then there is niche. I think they want to port over stuff that either is:
niche but has a shot at taking off
or
stuff that will sell to a small fanbase that is estimated over a certain size relative to a certain sized budget.
I don't think they will focus on stuff that will only sell say 20,000 units. If it were me, I'd focus on things that had a chance of hitting 100,000 units for games with a certain size budget. For games with a tiny budget, I think you can get away with lowering the bar and doing things as a "thank you" to certain fans because the cost/time sink is enough that you can do it for basically very little effort. But they still have to make back their costs and I just don't see a few of the requests in this thread getting there. The point is to round out the library with less popular games/genres but you don't want to put yourself in the position where you draw in virtually no one.

Shemmue 1 remastered on the Vita. It wouldn't sell many systems, but I'd love the chance to play it!

Yeah, I think we'll have some less important announcements at GDC.

Personally, I think this division of Sony should stamp each game with a splash screen to make light of the fact that they brought it over. They should have their own "brand" so to speak so that they can cultivate a loyal following of gamers who will buy it just because they ported it - similar to how some gamers buy anything Atlus or Xseed sells.

Do you think Borderlands 2 Vita is going to sell 100k in the US in 2014? I don't.

When Adam Boyes has spoken about this team he's specifically mentioned Yakuza 5 and Type-0 as two games that have received a lot of requests. Of course that doesn't mean that either will happen, but it's clear that they know that we want them.

I'll take one re-release of Splinter Cell Blacklist for the PS4 w/ all DLC, thanks.
Actually, I'd buy at least two ;P

You have my sword. I'll settle for a Vita version but after seeing how nice it can look on PPSSPP... yea they could charge me $40 for a PS4 remaster and idgaf.

Is it in their mandate to bring over older games ? What if we asked them to bring Suikoden II on PSN ?

The bigger news here is Shinobi banned, when/how did that happen?
On topic I'll take one portion of Type 0 Vita to go please.
On that subject does Square get to sell an international version back to the Japanese paid for by Sony?

Per his Twitter, he self-banned to focus on personal stuff.
Counting bundles, I certainly hope it does. Without bundles? Well...we'll see.
Ever positive - why just in the US? Why just this year? Why not worldwide? Because it's easier to be so fucking miserable all the time if you use a small group because it proves you "right"?

Next Car Game so needs to happen!
I do, it's a well regarded IP with mainstream recognition. If something like Call of Duty Vita which got terrible reviews can sell 400K+ in the US, I think there are enough people willing to pick up Borderlands.
I agree with the niche and really niche argument though. Gotta think Sony is gonna be bringing over something like FF Type-0 which is part of a well-known series which has mainstream recognition and has a good chance at selling well by Vita standards rather than a lesser known series that probably won't gain recognition outside of the enthusiast community.

I want just one port (which is likely to happen).

I hope for some games but considering how silent they have been I expect nothing.
