@eliotgballade The game is coming to Vita but at the moment we don't know when. @Levelfailer asked if it would be released with the Vita, and it won't — we don't know when it will be released
Valkyria Chronicles is one of my favourite SEGA games of recent years, and not just because Vyse and Aika are in it. I really should finish it but I started losing steam after one of the 'stealth' missions. Maybe I'll dig it out this week...
As for Demon's Souls, I didn't have the skill to make it through. Did beat that massive dude with the sword though, which was pretty awesome.
3DS launched before the Japan earthquake though: it's easy to think "oh that was months ago, it's over now" but Japan's economy certainly hasn't recovered yet. Media Create might be disappointed but only a fool writes off a console after its first two days
I reckon these prices could just be placeholders; it's not uncommon for retailers to stick up high prices at first, see the competition undercuts them significantly and react accordingly. Also good marketing to say "we've cut the price of our Vita memory cards by 40%!"
@JamieO Nope, no mention of it, though of course the vast majority of this content is already in the HR: Move Edition we got over here. The Platinum rerelease was about £10 in ASDA last time I looked!
@autogalazzo I'll be honest, I wasn't a huge fan of it: the 1:1 didn't quite work for me and I had more fun with Wii Sports. Let's hope this one is more my cup of tea!
Virtually any second-hand shop should carry it for peanuts: GAME sells it for about £3 usually. Check out Amazon etc. and they should do it around the same price
@Rambo-Hamster That's not really a fair comparison: we have four or five months for Sony to announce the AT&T pricing. I'm sure it won't be revealed on or after the console's release date
@Witchboard Not necessarily true, it still has to go through Sony Europe's engineering, testing and QA process before it gets released here. Not to mention translation and so on. It's a lengthier process than you might imagine!
@sykotek Surely Europe has at least as many different cultures as America, what with it being made up of different countries, languages, laws, histories etc.
@Roopa132 I've been banging on about this game for years. It's ace, and only narrowly lost to NSMBWii in our 2009 Game of the Year race. Please buy it, you'll enjoy it, I promise!
PS3 is region free, right? Looks like I'll be importing this.
@WolfRamHeart Those aren't the best quality screenshots admittedly, they came out a little blurry, but I believe Natsume is pushing more shots out soon.

Now you know why we're not going to review everything digital here like we do on Nintendo Life.

Re: Metal Gear Solid HD on PS Vita Uses Rear Touch Controls
@levelfailer Nope, there's no release date for it yet. Sorry!
Re: PSM3 Magazine Teases Mysterious Shooter Sequel
I'm calling Medal of Honor 2 because of the tease included with Battlefield 3.
Re: Feature: The Push Square Launch Party
@turtlelink @jonwahlgren Your invitations must have been lost in the post.
@rjejr We'll review games on the appropriate format but I don't think we'll do any overt technical comparisons: we'll judge a game on its own merits
Re: PlayStation Network Accounts Renamed Tomorrow
@Jas-n Not to worry, I always appreciate a correction where we've misrepresented a story or otherwise misled our readers!
Re: PlayStation Network Accounts Renamed Tomorrow
@Jas-n Appreciate the extra information - have updated the post accordingly

That guy knows his stuff.
Re: Hirai: "Sony Can't Go On Like This"
@DarkKirby Man, if anyone knows how to annoy their costumers, it's Sony for sure.
Re: Review: God of War III (PlayStation 3)
You disappoint me!
Although this is the only one I haven't tried yet...

@Tutankhamon We're working on that, don't worry!

Re: Feature: Must-Have PlayStation 3 Games - James's Picks
Why have none of you played Everybody's Golf?! What's wrong with you?
In Japan they re-released the game with Move controls back in July 2011; I'm told we're getting the Move patch in the future but no sign of it yet!
And go buy Heavy Rain immediately.
Re: Viva La Vita: PlayStation Executive Says Monster Hunter Is On The Way
I see your point!
Re: First Impressions: Grand Slam Tennis 2
Ouch! That bad?
Re: All Zombies Must Die Has No Move Support
Honestly, those jokers at PlayStation eh?

Re: Brand New HD Sorcery Trailer Looks the Business
@GoldenCannon Game's out in spring
@Autogolazzo I reckon it'll be a mid-range game, tbh. Probably $49.99, maybe a bit less.
Re: Guess What Snakebyte's cam:clip Does
And can't complain at the price either!
Re: First Impressions: Super Monkey Ball: Banana Splitz
@TitanBryan How do you know? This isn't even out yet.
Re: Official PS Vita Memory Cards Priced for US
I reckon these prices could just be placeholders; it's not uncommon for retailers to stick up high prices at first, see the competition undercuts them significantly and react accordingly. Also good marketing to say "we've cut the price of our Vita memory cards by 40%!"
Re: PS Vita Takes Augmented Reality to New Dimensions
@Shadow100 They only announced WAAR recently but from what I understand they're free PSN downloads. Will check up for you though.
Re: 38 Third-Party PS Vita Games Headed to Europe
@jusonator Right, this is just a list of third-party games in development, not a list of launch games
Re: Sony Teams with Vodafone for Europe's Vita 3G
@Rambo-Hamster I'm 95% certain AT&T is the exclusive 3G partner in the US, but perhaps one of our US Vita experts can confirm that
Re: Sony Teams with Vodafone for Europe's Vita 3G
I don't understand half the words in that last sentence but OK.
Re: You Must Pay To Transfer PSP UMD Games to Vita
haha, whoops, that should have been "one PSN account per UMD"
Re: PS Vita App Lets You Broadcast Gameplay Video to the Web
@yousaf No because that's against the law. You will be able to play some PS3 games remotely, or send purchased PSN games across to Vita, though.
Re: Out Now: Move Mind Benders (Europe)
Apparently not @bzayid, though we'll let you know if that changes
Re: Review: GoldenEye 007: Reloaded (PlayStation 3)
I'd have to check my notes but I think the small maps are still 8 player only, it's the new, bigger maps that are 16 players

Re: Answer the Call of Deadmund's Quest Demo This Week
I'm dead excited about it.
Re: Who's Competing in Grand Slam Tennis 2?
@autogalazzo I'll be honest, I wasn't a huge fan of it: the 1:1 didn't quite work for me and I had more fun with Wii Sports. Let's hope this one is more my cup of tea!
Re: Who's Competing in Grand Slam Tennis 2?
Nah we're too early for a release date yet, but it'll be early 2012 I hope!
Re: UMD Owners May Get Digital Discounts for PSP Games on Vita
@zezhyrule and @DrCruse let's keep calm and knock the sarcasm on the head, thanks.
Re: iWaggle Compares Child of Eden Move and Kinect
@seeafish What would you like them to have done differently?
Re: Get Up and Dance Trailer Shakes its Groove Thing
Yep, but nothing on Move!
Re: Johann Sebastian Joust Has No Graphics, Just Jousting
Replace swords with ice creams and I still think this is a winner.

Re: Sony Answers LittleBigPlanet 2 Move Questions
Nope, you need LittleBigPlanet 2 to enjoy any of its Move content
Re: Features: Move's First Year - Part One
80 games released is a slow year? Maybe you should look at the Kinect games out now
Re: Everybody's Golf Move Patch In the Works for Europe
@autogolazzo Nope, not even our friends at iWaggle3D have been hands-on with the game yet that I can see!
Re: Everybody's Golf Move Patch In the Works for Europe
@Witchboard Not necessarily true, it still has to go through Sony Europe's engineering, testing and QA process before it gets released here. Not to mention translation and so on. It's a lengthier process than you might imagine!

@sykotek Surely Europe has at least as many different cultures as America, what with it being made up of different countries, languages, laws, histories etc.
