We knew it was coming but it's been written in stone; the Vita will no longer be produced as of sometime in 2019 in Japan. North America and Europe already lost production a while ago, so this shutdown will mean the end of new Vitas. Probably about time to stock up if you want backups.
The only confirmed game release this week was a Japanese one, so here it is: the next game in the Pro Yakyuu Spirits baseball series from Konami has been confirmed to release sometime next year for Vita and PS4. No other details have been released just yet.
Reverse Crawl may be coming to Vita if a trophy list is to be believed. Created by the team behind Vertical Drop Heroes, you take control of the monsters in an RPG, with turn based combat to take down the pesky heroes. There's no details just yet for this one.
STAY is getting a physical edition on Play-Asia, with a soundtrack and booklet being included extras. It'll be limited to 1,300 units and the release is coming sometime next month.
Some dates for you now. Super Mutant Alien Assault can now be downloaded off the PS Store, effectively getting delayed almost a week. Pato Box was delayed from it's planned launch this week to next week. Jack n' Jill DX will be out sometime before the end of the month. Punch Line's US debut has been pushed back to October 9th. And Romancing Saga 3 will launch in 2019 in Japan on everything, including Vita. Whether a Western Vita release will happen for it is...unclear.
And finally this week, we have four different Japanese visual novels that may not come west to talk about, so I'm going to do it all in one segment. The sequel to Root Letter, subtitled Last Answer, had its platforms confirmed for Vita and PS4 this week. Kenka Bancho Otome is getting a sequel subtitled 2nd Rumble next year. Kin'iro no Corda: Octave, a cross-over of previous games in the musically-oriented otome series from Koei Tecmo, is releasing on the 14th of Feburary. And the creators of Nurse Love Addiction have announced Yumeutsutsu Re:Master, a story about a girl joining a development studio. No emesis-yuri, please. That's it for this week.
What do I plan on doing now the Vita's actually going away? Well. Long story short, I'm not going anywhere. I'm going to get onto doing more general gaming videos...eventually. My Switch needs to get back close to my recording gear, but I'll make it happen. Alongside some videos for PC and PS4, that'll be enough to keep me going in the long run. There is one thing I want to detail, though; the Vita Weekly Update will be ending sometime this year. As for when, I don't know, but I don't plan on continuing into 2019 with it, as eventually I'll be doing multiple weeks at a time with no worthwhile news, and honestly, I don't want to be doing that. End it on a decent note, not a drought. I hate to be self-advertising, but remember that there's Patreon and Play-Asia affiliate links you can use in the description to support me if you like my content, even if it's not Vita related anymore come sometime next year.
