I got an update on Action Henk recently - they're "trying their best to get it running well enough"

Dex - "later this year"

Energy Hook - "unlikely"

Telltale Games - "still have plans to bring out titles over to the platform"

Transistor - never announced, asked them recently and "no plans"

Vektor Wars - "likely" (but from November 2014)

And I'm just going to throw this one in there - no announcement or anything, but I expressed an interest in a Vita port of "World to the West" on Twitter and it was liked by the developer, an artist and a musician involved with the company. So you never know :p

Thanks for putting in the work Kresnik, updated the OP with the relevant info.

Still one of the sadess things was no episode 2 of Jacob Jones and the bigfoot mystery on Vita,

We just got Towerfall in the EU (without the cross-buy working) but waiting for a number of other games inculding Taco Master might need another thread unless you want to add as a seperate section, can dig up a load more, blanking on a few on the top of my head, oh Saturday Morning RPG, both confirmed to me on twitter as coming but no timeline other than soon but that was a while ago.

Hey we still get the lego games day and date looking forward to star wars tomorrow :)

Thats interesting. I know that there is a list of games already released in NA that havent been released in EU that Im aware of, but I wouldn't know where to start on which games havent made it over yet, Id be willing to make a second list of those games if someone can give me them.

Yeah, but on their facebook it's not listed as a platform and they told someone that it had been indefinitely delayed.

(Link to the comment on facebook)

Good to know, updated

There's also Chromophore: Two Brothers.
I was under the impression it was still coming, possibly even this year because the website had been updated with a Q3 2016 date, but then a recent Vita Lounge interview mentioned a legal issue so I'm not so sure.

Has that game been released in any capacity on any platform?

I know the guy working on the port. I don't know how much I can say, but he is still working on it in some capacity. I got the chance to play the most recent build a few months ago.

Interesting.

Regarding Volgarr The Viking:

https://twitter.com/VOLGARR/status/745401615478185985

"-Because I got asked a buttload of times today Volgarr is coming to PS4/Vita and then we are going to *attempt* Wii-U/3DS after Sony release"

https://twitter.com/VOLGARR/status/740990354816532480

"Well it looks like the only real thing holding us up from submitting to Sony Certification at this point is waiting on PEGI Ratings."

So I think it's rather soon...ish.

Yeah, Volgarr is a kickass game. Maybe now I can actually beat it!

It's been a long time coming and the game itself still in development, but a Vita version of Cryamore still seems to be on the cards.

https://twitter.com/Cryamore/status/645488213122023424?s=09

I dont think Cryamore has been released on any other platform yet, so It doesnt make the list. Game looks like it's coming along nicely though.

I'm sad that I'm the only one that cares about Attractio. Where is it?

Umm...it came out last week actually https://store.playstation.com/#!/en-us/games/attractio/cid=UP0700-PCSE00780_00-ATTGCTEAMPSV2015

You can add all those Sekai Project titles from the Kickstarters.

Oh? are they already released on other platforms? I was under the impression they're still working on translations

Read Only Memories is teasing an announcment on Twitter in a couple of hours. Chances of Vita news?
https://twitter.com/rom2064

Sounds good.
 
Claimed Sony wouldn't send a small team like their's Vita devkits because they were low on them ... except they announced Pier Solar's Vita port by taking a photo of a dev kit in their office.
So it smells like BS then?

I would find it hard to believe that Sony would drop support for indie devs since they're pretty much the only ones still supporting the console.

Didn't know Chroma Squad was coming to vita-thats cool.

Don't Sekai Project have a number of games still promised for vita versions? Edit: Oh someone already mentioned it.
 
"Roundabout" is still listed as "coming soon on PS Vita" on the official site, but I don't think there's been any kind of news in ages :(

Has that game been released in any capacity on any platform?
*shrugs*
The game it's a remaster of has been released on PC though.

Oh? are they already released on other platforms? I was under the impression they're still working on translations
Most of them are available on PC already.

"Roundabout" is still listed as "coming soon on PS Vita" on the official site, but I don't think there's been any kind of news in ages :(

Vita crew: we are in the tail end! Still have some polish work to do before we submit, but the end is in sight.

Can't wait for Salt & Sanctuary, Darkest Dungeon, and Banner Saga.

I wish Hand of Fate made it, that would have been perfect. I ended up plat'ing it on PS4 but man would it be good on vita.

Did they get called out on this and respond at all?

IIRC they actively promoted it's cross-buy status during sales, too. I know I ended up picking it up due to the eventual cross buy release.

I'm surprised the Vita is still getting as many ports as it is. There can't be much money to make off the system at this point.

The user base buys games. Just because the vita doesn't sell fast doesn't mean the already established base doesn't buy a lot of games.
 
I'm sad about seeing pier solar with a "cancelled" next to it... I would have vastly preferred to have it portable.

Still hope on ofhers

Isn't Rainbow Skies(sequel to Rainbow Moon) supposed to be coming to PS4/Vita? Wonder what happened with that. It was originally supposed to be a PS3/Vita game.

SALT AND SANCTUARY:

James Silva recently or towards the end of last month made a facebook post about the level of harassment he and the devs have received about the delayed Vita port of Salt and Sanctuary.

https://www.facebook.com/saltandsanctuary/posts/1044703588950048

Sanity policy: I'm going to delete any post berating us for not having the Vita port done. I'm working on the Japanese PS4 release, integrating more localizations into all releases, and bug fixes. Another studio is working on the Vita port. Yelling at either studio isn't going to speed up anything.
If you bought Salt and Sanctuary on PS4 solely to own it on Vita and are unsatisfied, you can absolutely ask Sony for a refund.
The majority of you have been really awesome and patient, and I'm deeply grateful for that. When we agreed to release on Vita, we were told that the middleware would be done by the time we were, but it's turned out to be a much bigger challenge to the incredibly talented devs working on it than anyone expected. It's no one's fault.
Lastly, as a general plea, I wish everyone could be civil to developers. In my nine years of professional indie game development, I've seen attitudes go from 95% supportive/5% meh to 50% supportive/50% angry, impatient, and downright hurtful. Not only does it really turn a good mood sour fast, but I just hate to see the industry becoming such a toxic place.
Thanks for being patient, thanks for being cool, thanks for being nice, and gigantic thanks for your support.
-James

He also confirmed recently that the Vita port is still a work in progress.
