I read a very interesting post on VitaGAF today. Just gonna share it here. It's not saying any games that are actually coming to Vita, but I think it's interesting bringing up things that we could start suggesting to Shahid or something that might work on Vita. My two picks are Sattelite Reign & Stonehearth:

I’m on the fence with Kickstarter; a lot of promises, a lot of hyperbole but, so far, not a huge amount to show for it. Some of the successful PC Kickstarters are starting to bear fruit, so there’s cause for optimism. We know that Sony are looking into adding PS4/Vita as stretch goals on a number of projects (one or two I’ll address in this post) so why not a few more? Here’s a list of fully funded, or currently being pitched titles that I think might be a good fit.
Need Funding
Liege
I know this was posted earlier - but here it is again in case some of you missed it. This has already been approved by Sony and has added a PS4/Vita stretch goal already.
“Story, Tactics, and Art. A modern re-imagining of the classic 16-bit RPG.”
Legend of Iya
Gorgeous art, wonderful animation and it scratches that genre itch.
It feels like we’re constantly discussing two genres in this thread; roguelikes and metroidvanias. We have Spelunky coming shortly, with one or two others to satisfy the first, but I’ve been dying to play a good Metroidvania since, well, Metroid Prime. (Hyperbole – Guacamelee was pretty good too.)
“An epic metroidvania adventure built of beautiful pixels.”
Satellite Reign
This is more of a “Oh please based Shahid I don’t even know if the Vita could run it but it looks fucking awesome” type of pitch.
What I said before about the two genres we discuss being roguelikes and metroidvanias? Yeah well, include strategy in it as well! Because this looks and sounds wonderful, and in an age where we chuck shit loads of money at boring point and click games, this has been neglected – get on it Sony. Thank me later.
“A real-time, class-based strategy game, set in an open world cyberpunk city, from the creator of Syndicate Wars.”
Monochroma
I know what you're thinking "But Moobabe; another stylised platformer? I'm tired of this bullsh.." Well, shut up and listen! “Limbo meets Ico” is how it’s described in the pitch video, and it looks pretty remarkable. No written words, no spoken words, nothing.
"A cinematic puzzle platformer about being a kid and caring for a little brother in a chilling 1950s dystopia."
Stonehearth
The final Kickstarter game for this post, and the only one fully funded. We need to realise we might not be getting Minecraft any time soon on our system. Does it suck? Maybe. But it also gives other titles a chance to shine. Like this one;
"A sandbox strategy game with town building, crafting, and epic battles!"
The aesthetic of Minecraft just on a grander scale, and with co-op and PvP this could be perfect for a #YOPO type of deal.
