The end of PS Vita could be closer than everybody expects, as Sony announced last May that it would stop releasing physical game carts for the handheld console after March 21, 2019. A few months later, the bad news struck the fans’ community: PS Vita itself would be discontinued in 2019.
Still, this doesn’t mean that the Japanese manufacturer is completely ignoring the portable console! On the contrary, there are quite a few amazing games for it about to be released this year which deserve more than just a bit of attention.
Let’s see which titles are worth our attention…
Hamsterdam
Describer by the developer, Muse Games, as a “brawling hamster-fu” beat-em-up game, Hamsterdam requires some serious combos, as your main purpose is to defeat Marlo, the chinchilla, and his Vermin Gang, in order to stop their vicious plan of conquering the city of Hamsterdam.
Obviously, you can customize your character, increasing its stats, but also go through bonus levels. Sounds good, right?
Catherine: Full Body
If you’re a die-hard gaming fan, you should remember this one from back in 2011, when the puzzle platformer Catherine was released on both Xbox 360 and PS3.
The game sticks to the same story of Vincent Brooks, caught between Katherine, his girlfriend who is constantly thinking about marriage, and his affair with Catherine, a young stranger. However, it now includes Rin, a third female character, as well as many new gameplay features, alongside an online mode and new chapters.
Shovel Knight: King of Cards
It’s pretty amazing to see that a game released in 2014 is still receiving updates! Yacht Club Games announced a new campaign for Shovel Knight, King of Cards, which is actually a prequel to the original title, telling the story of King Knight and how he became a member of the Order of No Quarter.
The new expansion comes with 30 new stages, as well as enemies, bosses, and many more, so you must give it a shot on your PS Vita!
Shakedown: Hawaii
Basically, a parody of white collar crime, the new Shakedown: Hawaii brings new captivating missions, focused on “acquiring business, sabotaging competitors, getting back land, and, of course, collecting protection money.
Everything happens in 16-bit graphics, which gives the game a really cool retro feeling! As for the rest of the new features it introduces, we’ll let you discover them yourself.
Monster Crown
If you’re a fan of Pokemon, you’ll definitely appreciate playing Monster Crown on your good ol’ PS Vita!
With over 200 monsters to collect and use them in duels, it adds a twist to classic Pokemon, as completely new species of creatures can be created when two monsters breed. Definitely give it a go and you might end up enjoying it more than the legendary Nintendo game.
Hardcore
Last but not least, we have our favourite when it comes to upcoming PS Vita games: Hardcore.
The first thing that needs mentioning is that it’s a reiteration of a game planned to be released in 1994, but due to various reasons, it was postponed for 25 years. Still, the shooter is ready to make its debut this fall, on Sony’s handheld console, and we’re convinced that we will be thrilled to play it!
