Sony showing 18 unannounced PS Vita games at TGS

Publisher's booth will have 31 titles for upcoming portable in total at show; The Last Guardian MIA from 21-game PS3 lineup.

141 Comments

Sony has made it official that the PlayStation Vita will be confined to Japan in 2011, with the North American and European rollouts not expected until early 2012. Japan will also be the site of a major update to the PS Vita library, as Andria Sang reports today that Sony confirmed that this month's Tokyo Game Show will play host to the announcement of 18 new titles for the device.

Dynasty Warriors Next will be among 31 PS Vita games shown at TGS 2011.

Sony did not provide a breakdown of who will be publishing the games that it plans to show at its PlayStation Vita Zone booth. However, the publisher did confirm by name 13 other games that will be on hand, revealing a decidedly Japanese bent to the distribution houses. Listed publishers include Arc System Works, Tecmo Koei, Konami, Acquire, Chunsoft, Nippon Ichi, and Namco Bandai.

Beyond the PS Vita's lineup, Sony also confirmed it will be showing off 19 announced and three unannounced PlayStation 3 games. One notable exclusion from this list is Team Ico's The Last Guardian, which also skipped this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo. The game had previously been pegged for a fall 2011 release but has since been bumped to an undetermined release window.

The PSP zone will feature five games as well as one unannounced title. Sony confirmed that Sega's just-announced Yakuza Black Panther 2 will be among the games it plans to have at the show.

There seems to be a nice variety of game coming for the Vita.When it launches I'll look into it. For those PS3 owners out there it must be getting frustrating to keep hearing about The Last Guardian getting pushed back or simply not showing at big gaming events.I really hope for them that this unique game doesn't go the way of Megaman Legands 3,which I'm still steamed about.

Definitely not seeing a repeat of the PS3 launch, which is an absolute good thing. I really do appreciate how this device is not getting overhyped and that Sony has decided to peel the layers of its awesomeness slowly. Every time new news comes out for it, I just want it a little bit more. If Sony announces one more amazing thing, I might jump ship and buy one.

I don't see so many more launch titles for the PS Vita than the 3DS had. But the new Uncharted game is really something worth to buy the new console! I think that may be the key difference. Also the one save file of RE Mercenaries on the 3DS put off some customers, well at least me.

What's going on with The Last Guardian? Is somebody at Sony not happy about it, or does Team Ico think it isn't ready for the spotlight yet?

I'm still impressed; this is all happening so fast for a console that was just announced to the public months ago! I want a Ratchet & Clank game, a Jak & Daxter game, and a Sly Cooper game for the PS Vita. And they must be legitimate. Yeah, that's probably too much to ask!

You can bet that Sony will learn a few HARD lessons from the 3DS launch. If Sony has an brains, they will release and keep releasing AAA games for the Vita every 2-3 weeks. @moviequest14 My friend, the reason why they lowered the price was that simply NO ONE was buying the system due to lack of software. Not everyone from Japan are Nintendo loyalists. If any Japan, is home to the "Whats out NOW!" I've mentioned this to you multiple times in another thread but $250 is a decent price for 3DS so long as they SUPPORT it. One of Nintendo's biggest problem was the DROUGHT they had MONTHS AFTER their release. This was all due to attach the 3DS sales to their Fiscal Report by March of 2011. Shareholders LOVE to see their profits, but what happened on the next report was nothing short of a MASSACRE. There was absolutely no movement of 3DS hardware because there were not enough AAA games. Hence the price cut for both 3DS and Sawata's paycheck.... Vita isn't out yet, but they will learn from the mistakes Nintendo. If they don't well.... they handed the crown that much earlier =P

Of the 18 unannounced PS Vita titles, it's highly probable that at least 15 of them are the following previously announced SCEA/SCEE titles (SCEJ is not announcing them at this moment since the games are technically not under them): WipeOut 2048 Broken (working title) Escape Plan Hustle Kings Killzone Little Deviants Little Big Planet Ruin Tag Sound Shapes Modnation Racers Reality Fighters Resistance Smart As Star Strike That leaves about 3 titles left unannounced. If Persona 4 The Golden makes its playable debut there, we're still left with 2 question marks.

@moviequest14 You don't have to answer to each and every one who goes against Nintendo...if you agree with the person then great, maybe give'em a thumbs up. If not, then you could just give'em thumbs down and move on. You can't make everyone like what you like, or look at things the way you do.

I wonder how many titles will be ready on launch :l . I believe Sony will put pressure on its developers after watching the 3DS to get their games out on time.

@ blovtom : Exaggerate much? (fyi only 2 titles,Mariokart and SuperMario3d Land) That attempt at wittiness only shows how out of wack your info about 3ds is.I suppose with the logic you stated that the only games for Vita are sony-made games with no 3rd party titlessince out of the 18 titles mentioned 3 are Sony First party games....

I just hope Sony can or at least give the U.S.A a release date even if it is next year to have a date release so I can finish paying off my Pre-order 3G Vita. @moviequest14. The PS Vita does not need a price cut and this is why. At E3 this year, everyone was shock at Sony for announcing the price at Wi-fi for $249.99 and the Wi-Fi+3G for $299.99, everybody at E3 was blown away even I was shock I was expecting to pay like $ 399.99 for the Vita and I'm not trying to be rud or anything like that but the PS Vita is well place and Sony made sure that the Vita is affordable as possible, and it is the first to have 3G [ should you chose to buy it ] and have duel analog for good FPS games.

Its a better launch line up than what my 3DS has got... come to think of it.. at this rate 18 Vita games could be more than the 3DS`s future line up! Nintendo need to pull their finger out and start giving us gamers some more action!

@ Aragorn931 : There were quite a few titles stapled for launch-release or close to...but many were either moved to a later date (ie Ocarina 3d and Kid Icarus,both of which would've been big-selling titles)or cancelled, and just because titles are shown and associated with a game at launch doesn't mean they will all be out at launch,I quote your words ''At the moment'' ...the vita has just now been confirmed for release in Japan and isn't being released until next year in the U.S you wait and see how many titles are actually at launch when the vita comes out to the u.s and then get back to me.There is no confirmation even in this article that any of these titles are launch titles (though some are bound to be) just that they will be ''in the vita zone''.There are only a couple more confirmed launch titles for vita (which again aren't carved in stone) and 16 3ds launch titles so add that up to whatever you want.And the reason Nintendo lowered 3ds pricing was because a lot of people felt the $250 pricetag was too much (one reason might I add that the ds beat the psp).

@ minh800 : I was mainly implying in jest to all this big supposed ''neck & neck'' of 3ds making a move then people thinking vita needs to also (ie the $80 3ds price-cut with a ton of people saying Sony needs to price-cut vita).Though it does have about 10% irony Sony is still free to do whatever they like.

90% of these sound Japanese specific. Seriously, the only universally anticipated launch title is still Uncharted. This thing is going to be just as disappointing as the 3DS was/is. Well, they did add Riiiiidge Racer! So that should sell a few million systems alone.
