Grand Theft Auto, Final Fantasy, Monster Hunter Set For Vita?
See Full ImageIt makes perfect sense. It was on the PSP and it's a major third-party franchise, which Sony wants on the Vita (Assassin's Creed, Call of Duty, and others are coming, too).
While everyone lies in wait for the announcement of an official launch date for Grand Theft Auto V, it has come to our attention that a UK retailer may have spilled the beans on a new portable installment in the award-winning series.
The listing at Play.com has been taken down, but Eurogamer was able to nab a screenshot before it disappeared: clearly, the game is called Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Nights and it holds a €39.99 price tag (about $50). There are no further details, besides the fact that three other titles were posted and then removed: Monster Hunter Portable 3, Tales of Innocence R, and Final Fantasy Type-0 HD.
None of the companies involved have offered anything official, but that's a hefty list of great Vita titles. Monster Hunter was probably a given from the start, as it remains a huge driver of sales in Japan. Tales of Innocence R is already out in Japan (it launched in January), so perhaps the biggest surprise is that HD version of Final Fantasy Type-0. But surprises or no, this is fantastic news; more high-profile software for the Vita!

Just come on and give me one good RPG for it too now, and I'm probably there. By then the first price drop should be behind us too. :)

But God may of course bless Rockstar too. I'm sure he can fit that into his schedule. Well, unless they make another Hot Coffee. I don't think that's so easily blessed.
Or, well, all the killing. I believe your god once said "thou shall not kill".

I played through the Japanese version of the game and it's pretty good.
I doubt they'll waste that code on an Asia-only release on the PSP.
Though, this HD version for the Vita is sounding pretty awesome. If this comes out, getting a Vita will be a definite must for me.

Monster Hunter Portable 3, Tales of Innocence R
These are big in the West
Assassin's Creed, Call of Duty, Grand Theft Auto
Add these games and others like them to the Vita line up, and I don't care who you are, you have something to play.

I'd not call them *epic* great, but pretty fun they are. Probably my best jrpg experiences.

Now THAT'S more like it. The Vita launch line-up didn't really interest me that much, except for Wipeout maybe....
Been waiting about news for Type-0 for a while. Played through the Japanese demo recently, and I'm LOVED it, even though I can't understand a lick of Japanese ;)
