Zanki Zero and now this. It hurts. My biggest dread is Catherine not getting a physical Vita release over here. But Atlus are pretty good so there is hope.

Haha. It's a consolation prize, but I would definitely have preferred Coven; Metal Max or Zanki Zero.

I wouldn't bet on physical, but I'm also quietly hopeful we'll get Catherine and Persona. And to be honest, I haven't ruled out that new Utawarerumono remake either as a really long shot.

But NISA are clearly done with Vita, which is a massive shame as there's a handful of brilliant looking games that'll get skipped as a result.

In keeping with the spirit of today's review thread, I've finished my review of God of War... the original PS2 version, played on Vita:

My first time with the game, and I absolutely loved it. Genuinely didn't think I'd like it before playing.

Wait, there is a new Utawarerumono in the works? O_o

I've actually been meaning to buy both Utawererumono games but you cannot find any copies for a normal price in the UK or on Amazon USA. I thought at the very least NISA could have released Metal Max digitally. It feels like they've stabbed us in the back. Us Vita core gamers always try our best to show localisers some love. Anyways it looks like 2019 is unofficially the Vita's last year. With NISA out of the picture and Catherine likely to be Atlus's last Vita game, the end is pretty much in sight.

Glad to hear this! I've never played God of War either but I've been meaning to buy the Collection since PS3 days. I want it for the Vita but the supposed inferiority put me off. And now with all the God of War hype I'm itching to get in to the series.

Yeah pretty salty about Metal Max (and Zanki Zero for that matter) but oh well two less games I need to buy. When it comes to Catherine I'm fine with digital only but the Persona Dancing games NEED to be physical. Even if it's some crazy $150 dual pack special edition I need those two games in my physical collection.

It's a remake of the original game (prequel to the two that we have in the west) that originally released on PC then was ported to PSP. I'm hopeful.

I think 2018 will be the last year of anything 'major' (i.e. Digimon or Secret of Mana size) and it's a real shame we're not getting everything we could do. Metal Max and Zanki Zero are just ugh.

If you've never played it before, I doubt you'll have any issues with the Vita inferiority. It looks great on the handheld screen and runs well enough. Not perfect by any stretch, but I had no problems with it.

If anybody missed the Asian/English Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment physical release (like I did) someone on amazon is selling new copies for $60.
