If you’re hungry for a little more strategy action on your PlayStation Vita, then German indie SideQuest Studios should have you covered. After a year of tailoring its engine for Sony’s slick handheld, the developer is finally ready to deploy its pocketable port of role-playing game Rainbow Moon.
For those that missed out on our review last July, we described the original PlayStation 3 release as a “long, beautiful adventure”. In addition to a pixel perfect recreation of the original console version, the outfit has augmented a bunch of new features, bug fixes, and more – all based on player feedback. It’s also added in cross-save compatibility, so you’ll be able to grind on the go.
Cross-buy is off the agenda for now, but the developer’s hinting that you’ll be able to take advantage of a 50 per cent discount if you’ve bought the game before. Sadly, you won’t be able to double-down on Trophies, as the game will share the same trinkets roster as its predecessor. If you’re still interested, though, you’ll be able to pick up the re-release on 3rd December in North America and 4th December in Europe.

I don't have a Vita but loved the PSN version. You can put countless hours in to it and it's cheap. You can't ask for much more.
I played this game for a lot of hours on my PS3 and got stuck at a difficult boss near the end. Then I bought a Wii U. And my family decided we should watch every episode of both Dragonball and DBZ.
I will return to it someday though.
@rjejr Your family has great taste in anime.
Wow they toned down colors a little bit?
Guys, this game is super awesome. I beat platinum out of it. One of the best PS3 games ever =). It has so cool mood of Zelda, Dragon Quest and overall PS one jrpgs like Lunar 2, for example. Hell, I love EastAsia Soft =). I hope they fixed some issues of PS3 version, though.
I just told a friend of mine that I really needed to sit down and finish up Rainbow Moon the other day. I'll be purchasing and cross-saving over to the Vita in December to do just this!
@Lelouch - Thanks, but its the only anime my kids know so far, though they have seen every single episode of Pokemon but I'm not sure that counts. I did marry my wife b/c she liked Ninja Scroll though. Can't believe that movie is 20 years old, I should throw a party. Wow Akira is 25? Damn I'm old.
I'll be getting this on my Vita for certain.
@rjejr Ninja Scroll is one of the first anime I ever saw,Iit's hard to believe I'm actually a year or so older than it. If you liked Ninja Scroll, than Basilisk seems like it would be right up your alley, they're both pretty similar, but only in a few areas.
The only anime I could suggest - that doesn't have blood, profanity or ridiculously bouncy women - would be Zatch Bell and Digimon. Digimon should hold their attention due to its similarities to Pokémon and Zatch Bell is just an amazing series.
@Lelouch - " that doesn't have blood, profanity or ridiculously bouncy women"
After Akira I discovered Fist of the North Star (the good oringal movie, not the tv series edited into a movie) and some insane demon movie series full of rape and torture. The oringal blew my mind but by the 3rd I coudlnt take it anymore. I think I still have the original hidden away on VHS somewhere so the kids don't find it. The Demon Overlord, but in Japaense.
Cool! Might pick this one up one day.
great news,day 1 for me
