just read and watched the IGN and REV3 rayman legends review and not one single word of the vita version was spoken...

It was a PS3/360/WiiU versions review. Maybe they will do a separate one for the Vita, or just skip it altogether.

probs just skip it, isnt it a near perfect console port anyway?

hmm, hopefully they dont skip it. Its arguably the best version of the game and it deserves recognition

Ys is getting a pretty swank limited edition.

That's really neat.  This game doesn't have any DLC, right?  I'll happily import this rather than wait for the inevitable digital-only European release.

No DLC.

Regarding Vita's 2014 lineup: It's definitely weak in terms of retail releases, but there's still a lot to love.

Personally, I'm expecting just one or two things from Sony (even though that's seeming more and more unlikely at this point). Perhaps Freedom Wars translation & Gravity Rush 2. Maybe a nice western announcement or two like some cross-buy retail title or something.

Then there's all the indies - Minecraft; Volume; Hotline Miami 2; Fez; Starbound; Final Horizon; Switch Galaxy Ultra & Assault Android Cactus have my attention.

We're getting Danganronpa; Demon Gaze & Holy Sorcery Story already. I'm sure already-translated games like Disgaea 4; Atelier Rorona; Hyperdimension Neptunia & Dynasty Warriors 8 will make it across too. Then I'll be crossing my fingers that things like Mind 0 & Exstetra show up. And I'm sure there are plenty of unannounced Japanese games in the pipeline too, which have the potential to make it over here (especially if Vita grows a healthy niche audience, which I really can't tell if it's doing at the moment or not).

It might not be explosive and AAA, but that's a pretty good year's lineup for me personally.

The two things I wish for are just a bit more Sony $$$ support - I like indies, but even just a title or two from bigger studios would be nice. And secondly, I wish Sony would target higher-level indie games. I think Vita is a more capable machine than it's given credit for. I'd like to see a multi-player F2P FPS come to Vita - something like Blacklight Retribution or Guns of Icarus but scaled down.

Muramasa Rebirth has DLC, which is why I'm in a pickle about whether I should import the US version or wait for the EU release so I can buy the DLC with it.

No - Vanillaware spoke about DLC including 4 new characters (something like that).  It hasn't released in Japan yet (presumably because they were making Dragon's Crown) but it's still scheduled to release.  I presume it'll come to US/EU eventually, but if I have an imported copy it'll never be compatible.
