Additions:

Some people seem to be confused, the presenter is not going to be Kaz, but rather SCEJ President Hiroshi Kawano.

Shuhei Yoshida has made some interesting (cryptic) posts and replies on Twitter.

Net retailer Joshin has ceased taking Vita system orders on their site, prompting rumors of a price cut incoming.

Poll added for kicks.

Direct link to the USTREAM channel http://www.ustream.tv/channel/psvita2013  NOTE: It probably will just be in Japanese with no subtitles.

Please, announce tons of games (with worldwide release dates :P). And cut the price of memory cards + announce 128gb mem card!

Without any build-up behind it, I don't see any reason to get excited. It's probably some kind of Japan-only social game and maybe a low-quality, high-cheesecake dungeon crawler. It would surprise me if it's anything for us westerners to celebrate.
