Japanese weekly gaming mag Famitsu will be revealing a brand new PlayStation Vita game every week leading up to TGS 2011, according to SCEJ President Hiroshi Kono. The first exclusive reveal debuts on August 25th with the last on September 15h, TGS following the day after. It has yet to be confirmed whether these games will be coming from Sony or third party publishers, or even if they are full-length titles.
It’s also worth taking note that some of the mentioned titles may not be released overseas; Famitsu is primarily aimed at a Japanese audience, so don’t be too upset if we see a string of four turn-based RPGs or dating sims over the coming weeks.

September*. Sorry.
Anyway, sounds interesting, maybe the CoD game will be revealed.
Keep an eye on it for me, will ya? ;)

You never know what might be revealed, though CoD really isn’t as popular in Japan as it is overseas.
Jakster123x
True.
I’m not really a fan of CoD myself but seeing a proper version on a handheld will be interesting. What would be even more interesting would be if it was competing with BF3 on the Vita…

Monster hunter me thinks is one of them aha…
Jim H [Teabags]
I should hope so, but then again maybe not with Monster Hunter 3 only just coming out overseas.

I’m also thinking a new Monster Hunter Portable could be one. They could possibly announce it even if it’s a long way from being finished/released yet. We’ll just have to wait and see :)

Whatever the games it’s good to see the Vita getting attention ahead of it’s release. I’m guessing Sony are going to announce launch dates if not for Japan but the world then.
I’m still hoping them announce Sonic Generations for Vita like was rumoured.

I love turn based rpgs. Think of it as chess, on speed, with weapons and magic and grinding and levels. Dating sims otoh …..

I would no doubt buy a PSVita if that were true. In fact, I’d buy 2. No matter the cost.

Please give me a new metal gear solid….

Yakuza Vita. That’s my prediction for 1 of the titles. Possibly a Final Fantasy, Monster Hunter and a japanese style game that won’t be released over here (UK).
