    I guess I should just stop calling this late and accept it as the new normal. Anyway, it's December, and here I am again with my my monthly list of current and upcoming titles for the PlayStation Vita. As usual it is focused on the North American market, with Europe and Japan exclusive titles in their own sections below.

    Turns out this was a surprisingly active month in terms of new releases. The centerpieces were of course Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight and Persona 3: Dancing in Moonlight, but bunch of indes came out as well - including Super Life of Pixel, Emerald Shores, Energy Cycle Edge, Dragonfly Chronicles, Scintillatron 4096, One Word by POWGI, and Dreamwalker. Also released was Atari Flashback Classics, a compilation of 150 early Atari games.

    As for new game announcements, it was pretty much all visual novels. Kogado Studio revealed they're bringing their girls love adventure Yumeutsutsu Re:Master out in English on the Vita. While in Japan, the classic EVE franchise continues with EVE: Rebirth Terror, Silverio Trinity set off more debate surrounding Sony's new content policies, and a new Memories Off game is coming as well as a Giga joint called Full Kiss.

    In my continued efforts to clean up old, out of date entries, I've removed Children of Morta as the Vita port has officially been canceled by the developer citing the technical limitations of the Vita as a platform. The games Phoenix Force, Last Inua, Unmechanical, Klaus, and Wild Season have been moved to Vaporware. While I couldn't find a formal statement by the developer on the state of these ports, the lack of news since the initial announcement them make it seem highly unlikely that they're still being worked on.

    Finally, I've simply removed the retail section from the list. While there are upcoming physical releases, they mostly aren't "retail releases" but rather limited runs sold from the publisher's website. And window for new physical releases is coming to a close, as Sony has stopped taking new orders for them in the west, and publishers are finding their allotment of the remaining game cards too limited to put out everything they wanted.

    And I think we're done! Come back in January for... hmm... doesn't look like there's any releases confirmed until Code: Realize: Wintertide Miracles in February. I expect something will show up though, so maybe I'll go back and edit in a trailer then.

    December
