Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology was initially intended for ”another handheld device". However, director Mitsuru Hirata became too busy working on Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE and the project was suspended. After the Wii U project wrapped up, Atlus turned its attention back to Radiant Historia, but the market ratio between 3DS and the other unnamed device was too significant when the project rebooted. Radiant Historia shifted to 3DS as a result.

It's thought that that Atlus was thinking about the PlayStation Vita at the time. After all, that became the primary portable system competing with 3DS in Japan.

Sample image from a very early prototype from 2010 (you can see the PSVita buttons) :

Thought it was fairly interesting. Atlus didn't develop many games for Vita (Persona 4 Golden and Dancing All Night are the only two), I wonder if there were even more Vita projects that shifted to 3DS once they saw early Vita sales.

Looks like a mock-up more than anything concrete.

its also from 2010, the original ds version came out in 2010 so this was more likely for a prototype for a psp version, that or the 2010 is refering to the original release date

I would have bought it for the Vita within a heartbeat, in all honesty. I like them trophies.

At least it'd be playable on a platform that can't already play the game.

People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
