Jet Set Radio grinds on to the Vita

Jet Set Radio grinds on to the Vita photo



Looks like our graffiti loving group is not only going to be on Xbox Marketplace and PSN, but also on the Vita this summer. The Vita version will be a direct port of the HD version with Vita enhanced controls. Meaning that the graffiti tagging in the game with utilize the touch features of the Vita. Which I can't think of a better use of them then tagging stuff in JSR. The tagging of system was a highlight in the game in which you had to move the joystick in certain directions to create the graffiti.

When the HD port was first announced, many people were actually worried that the tagging system would actually go away with the new version. Myself included. What I, and most everyone else for that matter, was even more worried about is the soundtrack being unchanged. So far, the soundtrack is not complete because of licenses that have expired or even don't exists anymore since some of the studios that produced the music are not in business anymore. I'm sure Sega will find a way to get this done or replace it with something equally as good. I hope...

No dates or pricing have been announced yet but be sure to know that we will be all over it when it happens.

The Vividred Operation game's trophies are mayo-tastic

Like pretty much any reasonably game-lookin' anime out there these days, Vividred Operation is getting a game adaptation courtesy of Namco Bandai. That might sound like a quick-and-cheap cash grab, and we won't trul...

PSA: Atelier Totori for Vita stealth-released on PSN

I'd like to believe that Tecmo Koei actually do care a whit about their publishing the enhanced PS Vita port of Atelier Totori  (called Atelier Totori Plus), but the fact that they didn't even bother to tell an...

Review: Corpse Party: Book of Shadows

It was a little over a year ago that I parted my review of Corpse Party by wishing that the sequel would also end up getting localised. Here we are with another game in the series in a language I understand, and while it's no...

There's no doubt that the Way of the Samurai franchise is an intriguing series, but is nearly opaque to those unfamiliar with the franchise. One's enjoyment of such games can depend significantly on prior experience with Acqu...
