We know one of them will be a football game so we have at least four games to get our hopes high.

do they have any announced games for the vita? or will see them announced later on this year?

This is for Japan, by the way. Its not garanteed that they will release 5 titles in the west.

With that said, i'm guessing one of those is the rumored new Sonic.

How about bringing PSO 2 to the west?

If they can do if f2p for samurai & dragons PSO 2 shoudn't be far off.

If it's a Sonic game, i hope it'll come to west... Last Sonic's were quite good (Generations and Colors).

The rumors say theres a new sonic coming this fall. It will be on the main consoles (PS3 and 360) and the same version will be on the Vita. The 3DS would get its own version again.

As a sonic fan i am ecstatic to get the Vita and 3DS versions. The 3DS version of Sonic generations was amazing! It just needed more levels. I am more excited about that version than the console one, though im sure i will enjoy it on Vita format.

Also fingers crossed for PSO2. Its one of the games i bought a Vita for. I dont really care if its free or not. I am willing to pay full price for it, aslong as they bring it over.

SakaTsuku <-already announced
Shining <-yearly portable rpg, possible multi with psp
Diva <-extension or sequel following past tendency
Valkyria Chronicles <-became a portable series and has been teased for months
Sonic something <-because Sega

Just like the Nintendo version of this thread, thats not 5 games but SKU's. For example SEGA annouces Sonic for Vita for global release. NA,EU,JAP count as 3 SKU's.

So really it can be broken down into

2 Vita games - 1 global(3) + 1 in only 2 regions(2) = 5 SKU
2 Vita games - 1 global (3) + 2 japan only games

you get the point.

I'd really like a Black Panther Collection announced for the west. I'd buy that. But with Yakuza 5 not even coming across, seems highly unlikely.

Seeing as it's SKU's as well, it may be something as simple as: one game for the west (2 SKU's - Europe & NA; or even just normal edition/limited edition i.e. Racing Transformed); three games for Japan (that football game + 2 new ones).
