Looks like we’ll be in for some big announcements in the near future, as Play.com accidentally listed four PS Vita titles on their site before pulling them out. Monster Hunter seems to be the only real one. More after the jump!
Via Eurogamer:
These games may relate to Sony’s upcoming PlayStation Vita Game Heaven event on 9th March.
The official blurb for the event reads: “Sony will host a PlayStation Vita web broadcast on Friday, March 9 at 20:00 JST, where it will announce new titles for the handheld. It is titled ‘Welcome! PlayStation Vita Game Heaven.’”
Rockstar produced Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories and GTA: Vice City Stories games for PSP. Will Vice City Nights be in the same vein?
Capcom demoed PSP game Monster Hunter Portable 3rd running on Vita (then Next Generation Portable) in January 2011. However, confirmation that such a game would exist on Vita was never given.
Monster Hunter Portable 3rd HD was released for PS3 in Japan last August. Will the Vita game be identical? Will PS3 and Vita versions work together – will there be cross-platform co-op?
It may be obvious, but Monster Hunter Portable 3 being listed on Play.com also seems to confirm it’s coming West.
Final Fantasy Type-0 was released in Japan on PSP. We knew localisation for a Western version was under way, and that the development team had the game running on Vita.
Tales of Innocence R has already launched on Vita in Japan. This news suggests a Western release is planned.
Tales publisher Namco Bandai told Eurogamer: “As yet we haven’t announced Tales of Innocence R for Europe.”
Two more days till Sony’s Vita web broadcast. We’ll probably see some cool surprises. Check back because we’ll be reporting these as well!
Update!
Seems like the only real one in that list is Monster Hunter Portable 3rd HD. The rest are just “net ta2leef”.
Let’s see what’s officially announced at the event tomorrow.
