Sony TGS Wrap-Up: All About PlayStation Vita

Posted on Wednesday, September 14 @ 08:25:03 Eastern by Anthony Severino

Sony's Tokyo Game Show press conference shined the spotlight directly on the PlayStation Vita. A launch date was given for Japan, and it will debut alongside 26 launch titles, with 100 in total in development.

Of those 100 games, many are well-known franchises from a number of key publishers. Capcom, Square Enix, and Konami all had goodies to show off during Sony's shindig.

Yoshinori Ono took the stage to tease the already announced Street Fighter X Tekken, which now features Sony Japan's lovable news reporting cat mascots, Toro and Kuro. Ono also revealed that Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 will be available for the PlayStation Vita at launch. The title is already finished: It's just waiting for the hardware to be released.

Square Enix had some news to share as well. As part of the 10th anniversary celebration of Final Fantasy X, they're re-releasing a remastered version for both the Vita and PS3. Squeenix also unveiled Lord of Apocalypse and the worst-named title ever, Army Corps From Hell.

Hideo Kojima took the stage for Konami, mainly to show off "Transfarring". Don't you dare call it transferring, although that's exactly what it is. Zone of the Enders and Metal Gear Solid HD Collection will be available for both the PS3 and Vita, but transfarring takes them to a new level of cool. At any time you can save either version, and pick up right where you left off on the other. Put in a few long hours on the PS3 version, but have to run? Load it up on the Vita and pick up right where you left off.

Sony then showed a montage of titles coming to the PlayStation Vita. Notable titles include Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Katamari, and Riiiiiidddggeeee Racer!

I definitely will do. I'm glad to know that there was someone as happy as I am about that announcement. As soon as I heard the music, I got chills.

Isn't that the one with all the singing? LOL I wonder if it will be compatible with the SingStar mic this time around.

All of my friends heard the music and were like, "That was the only good thing about FFX. That song."
xD Oy.

I'd probably replay that game, though, it was fun enough.

Again with these f*cking companies. Why the F can't they just use their stupid memory sticks, nooooo they have to come up with some entirely new sh*t that will serve the exact same purpose. It's bad enough that many Sony products don't even support SD cards and you have to buy their god damned memory sticks but now even THAT is not enough, you have to buy an entirely new f*cking memory card. So f*ck Sony and f*ck the Vita. I'm voting with my wallet.

"These memory cards give me flashbacks of the PSP. I paid $150 for a 1GB Memory Stick Pro Duo shortly after the PSP launch. They were so freakin' expensive. I'm sad to be the bearer of bad news, but these Vita memory sticks will run you anywhere from $25 to $100 for the largest capacity (32GB)."

Yeah but back in the day when 1GB was $150, there was quite a bit of poor quality memory sticks on the marketplace. Those Sony's often performed better. With storage it's not just capacity you are buying there is the performance to consider.
