Your PlayStation Vita will remain more than relevant moving into 2017, as Aksys Games has announced that it will be localising Nihon Falcom's well-liked Japanese role-playing game Tokyo Xanadu for the popular portable. The game launched last year in the East, and adopts an urban backdrop as opposed to the fantasy tropes of the developer's flagship brands like Ys.
The game will be available both physically and digitally on Sony's handheld in early 2017, though there are no plans yet to port the title's upgraded PlayStation 4 version, which is due out later this year overseas. We suspect that the publisher will be waiting to see how the portable version performs before making any decisions on its high-definition alter-ego.

I'll need to watch some footage of the gameplay, I'm more of a legend of heroes guy than a Ys guy, sounds interesting though.
Great news falcom's sending another jrpg our way on the vita. I wish cold steel was on ps4, I'm tempted to buy ps3 version. I'm hoping this will be a deep game that will keep me entertained when I'm away from home.
Always nice to see a fun looking game scheduled for release on Vita.
@Rapid The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel is an amazing game. I am loving the ps vita version. Sadly i am onto the second last chapter. Hoping the next game makes it onto the ps vita.
Yes, dont you dare name my favorite handheld anything else as "popular". For a "dying" handheld the vita has surprising amount of games coming. I freaking love my vita.
Just to stay on topic - this game looks good. An Aksys game? Even better.
Looking forward to the next Vanillaware game though.
These third party studios have pretty much adopted the Vita as their own first party console, and they are doing a better job than Sony had, providing it with games.
Need some gameplay to decide, but this certainly has my attention.
Sounds like a cool game.
(that pic kinda reminds me of Persona...and that's Always a good thing)
Ha. The Vita just keeps on tickin.
Right on.
@brendon987 Vita and PS3 confirmed for the west for ToCS 2. There's an English trailer out there somewhere that came out pretty recently, I haven't watched it though since it apparently has big spoilers for the first (including the ending I think?) and I only got ToCS a couple days ago on a sale.
Edit: This is also awesome news, MOAR VITA GAMS HURRAH
@brendon987 it should do this autumn but I'd really like it to come to ps4.Anyhow at least it's on vita that's good enough for me.
Been looking forward to a localisation of this for a while.
Vita the JRPG Valhalla...
