SEGA have just let us know that Dreamcast favourite Jet Set Radio will – in addition to the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC – be coming to the PS Vita.
It’ll be an “updated” version, according to the press release, with HD visuals and touch functionality for the graffiti spraying mechanic.
“The fan reaction to our recent reveal of Jet Set Radio has been incredible!” said Haruki Satomi, Senior Vice President of Digital Business at SEGA. “As Jet Set Radio is focused on creativity, the touch capabilities of the PlayStation VITA are proving to be a perfect fit.”
The game will be playable at E3.

More Vita love. Keep it coming devs :) I’m never going to have any money with all the games coming to the Vita this year.

I will probably be highly berated for this comment, but i still have no idea of the premise of this game. :S

Oh, I thought this was a radio app for the Vita.
I feel stupid now.

You will also be able to use the PSvita camera in the game.

Cannot wait for this! Miner Willy has been out of my life for far too long. Matthew Smith is a genius. Hope they keep the crazy room names and 8 bit graphics. You cannot beat a bit of ‘we must perform a Quirkafleeg’. If it sells well then hopefully the sequel will get a show too. Colour me excited!
