2014 Vita release Outlook for GAMES

I was looking through some of the upcoming VITA releases the rest of the year and I just realized I need a third job to pay for all the games I want. Despite just buying the
FFX & X-2 games for VITA that will keep me busy for a very long time, but there are a ton of other ones coming out:


To me, there is a great mix in the line-up between console/PSN ports, new Indies and localized VITA games from Japan. There is soo much to play I don't know how I can afford everything this year! I just picked out the larger releases that I have interest in, but there may be others on the Indie side I should be paying attention to? Am I missing anything from the big pub. list that I should be adding?


How many of these will you be getting GAF?

The first thing I notice when I look at that list- in the "big companies" category, there isn't a single US game that isn't a port of something that's been out on other things for a while

Unfortunate, but NA Sony and other devs are treating it as an on-the-go port and indie machine.

Too many big publishers in the west are too hung up on the Hollywood blockbuster mentality.

I'm more excited by the indie list than the 'big' list.

My wallet trembles in fear. I reckon it's time to move up to a 64GB card.

Western devs and 'big' handheld games are like oil and water.

Honestly out of those the only one I really want right now is Galak-Z, but then again, as a new Vita owner I still have plenty of games to go through.

Point is that western devs in general aren't doing much for either handheld, they are more console focused.

Mobile and Facebook. There are like, 20x more developers working on mobile and facebook than there are on console in North America.

They have learned how to leech more money out of people on mobile and facebook games than they have ever made on handhelds.

I don't think Atelier Ayesha Vita has been confirmed for NA. Then again, if it's like the other Atelier Vita games, it could just show up on the PSN one day.

Feel free to add our indie game (Cosmic Star Heroine) to the list. :)

You were saying they are more console focused.........I was saying they are more mobile and social focused.

Tons of huge western publishers and devs on mobile. Almost all of them.

I added Akiba and Natural Doctrine to the OP and will note Ayesha, even though we all know it will come.. It's the last Atelier game using the Phyre Engine correct?

I added it there, I've only been seeing the trailer on the PS4 demo at Wal-Mart for a few weeks now, lol. I just forgot there was a VITA port as well, so since your an active gaffer, I put it on top, lol.

Pretty good and big list isnt it? I mean this is a reason why i want the vita. It gets so much niche titles and it gets so much support (from gamers and devs). Only sony seems to be kinda ignoring it (Multiple accounts on one vita please, memory card adapter etc).

Apparently the Asian version will have some English in it (not sure if it's a full translation or just subtitles for story scenes). Also, the anime is pretty popular over here so I wouldn't be surprised if this one gets picked up for NA release as well.

Danganronpa 2, and that's it. Maybe Oddworld games just to support the franchise, but I'll probably play them on console.

There's a few other games here I'll play / have played on PC / console instead.

Who cares? You should have expected this. Western devs don't care about portables. It's the same situation on 3DS.

Okay but we are talking about Vita here, a dedicated handheld. That's why I asked in comparison to 3DS, another dedicated held. I'm not talking about the mobile platform.
