I'm sure many gamers out there where excited about Sony's Japanese TGS announcements. Let's keep them at that, Japanese retail revelations. However, what's gonna hit the west? Let's take a peek.
PS VITA TV
Is it coming to North America? Not a chance.
A very tiny, sexy console dedicated strictly to playing PS VITA games on your big HD tv. Oh and it can also stream PS4 games as well. BAM! Clearly this is a console strictly for the Japanese market. When you consider that the PS4 isn't launching there until February. We're getting the next gen platform in a matter months. PS VITA TV is clearly aimed to tied the consumers over until it's arrival. Plus, Japan loves the Vita. They'll buy this device just to expand their Vita delights.
NEW PS VITA
Available in multiple colors. LCD replaces the OLED screen. Thinner, lighter and more battery life. Is it coming to the west? Yes, just don't it expect it right away. What about all those colors? You'll see black, white and blue make it here but that's probably about it.
NEW PHANTASY STAR GAME
I love Phantasy Star. My first experience was the glorious Dreamcast epic Phantasy Star Online. Oh the memories. *sniff* What was announced was Phantasy Star Nova which appears to be much like the awesome PSP games in the series. I want.
Chances of it arriving in the west? 50% chance.
Phantasy Star Online 2 has been in Japan for over a year. It has also appeared in other Asian markets, but that game's chances of coming here are nill. It launched with server issues and I don't think Sega wants to deal with a worldwide server crash issue, much like Square Enix is experiencing with its latest Final Fantasy game.
However, this stand alone title in the series isn't online dedicated but back to it's single player roots. Yeah, it might actually make it here.
Pretty please.
NEW SOUL SACRIFICE GAME
Sony's latest blockbuster game for the Vita is becoming a franchise. Soul Sacrifice Delta appears to be an enhanced edition of the original game with more content added to the already jam packed epic.
Chances of it coming west? 90% chance.
It's coming. I guess as an exclusive PSN title. I loved Soul Sacrifice and I would enjoy more.
64GB VITA MEMORY CARD
Chances of it landing across the pond? 100% chance.
Yeah, it's coming. The more storage, the better. Hell I purchased a 32gb memory card on the Vita's launch and that wasn't cheap! That was before the current price drop on them. Still, I can attest that even with a 32gb memory card, it's still not enough. Especially since the majority of my purchases have been digital PSN content and with the upcoming Killzone: Mercenary is weighing in nearly 5gb after an update. Crap, I could use a bigger card.
So there you have it. Lots of exciting PlayStation content is coming, hopefully to North America. Crossing my fingers for all that Vita goodness to arrive in The Great White North.
