    It's July, and I'm a bit tired. But still, even if I'm a bit late it won't stop me from posting 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.

    Looking at this months releases, the obvious stand out is Accel World VS Sword Art Online, another RPG from Bandai Namco which, as the title suggests, combines Sword Art Online with Accel World series. We also have indie action RPG Fallen Legion, mystery/crime themed otome game Collar X Malice, action puzzle game Ninja Usagimaru: Two Tails of Adventure from FK Digital, and indie puzzle game Energy Cycle.

    Moving on to new game announcements, my lateness means that after a fairly quite June giving us little beyond a port of Undertale, Anime Expo happened. And such we got a bunch of new game localizations - like dungeon RPG Demon Gaze II and retro action RPG Penny-Punching Princess from NIS America. Aksys was there too, going otome crazy with Psychedelica of the Black Butterfly, Psychedelica of the Ashen Hawk and 7'scarlet, but also announcing fighting game Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late[st], and hack 'n slash meets racing game Drive Girls.

    Over in Japan, Compile Heart revealed they're working on another dungeon RPG named Tokyo Clanpool. Also there were a bunch of visual novels, and the mystery adventure Mystereet F, which was curiously originally announced as an Xbox One exclusive back in 2014 before disappearing for several years.

    Else, it's a bit late now as Glixel has already shut down, but I wanted to plug this story they did about indie developers who are still finding the Vita a worthwhile platform to support.

    And I'm done! Come back next month for Mary Skelter: Nightmares. And who knows, maybe Summon Night 6: Lost Borders won't suffer yet another delay!

    Still loving my Vita but the list of upcoming games I want to play on it is getting smaller and smaller. Off the the top of my head I'll probably be playing the next Utawarerumono and Chaos;Child along with Danganronpa V3. There is also a nice set of Falcom titles coming to the system with the recent release of Tokyo Xanadu and the upcoming Ys VIII but I'll be playing the enhanced versions of those titles on consoles. There are also several Kickstarter visual novels I'm interested in that have promised to release Vita ports at some point but who knows if those will ever come to be. With the decreasing number of titles, and the rise of the Switch as the portable indie game platform, I'm not sure I'll be playing my Vita for too much longer past this year. Hopefully I'm wrong, the PSP certainly lasted a lot longer in the US than I ever thought it would.

    Man, I need to pick up my vita again. Still haven't played most of the games on my shelf (digital and physical) for it. Really thinking about starting either danganronpa 1 or virtue's last reward finally. Appreciate the round up list duder.

    @lentfilms: I'm a bit slower than you, still working my way through Trails of Cold Steel. At this pace I figure I'll still be plugging away at Vita games until they shut down PSN access for it. I could go either way with those new Falcom titles, depends on the price and whether the extras are actually worthwhile. I mean I did buy the enhanced PS4 version of the first Sword Art game because it was cheap, but I haven't actually gotten around to playing it yet.

    @themanwithnoplan: Thanks. Danganronpa and VLR are both great games. Just hope the Nonary collection goes on sale sometime so I can get the entire series on one platform.

    I'm looking forward to Undertale launching on the Vita. Also I can't remember, but I think the servers for t@g in Europe got shut down a long time ago, so I wouldn't expect to see it in the US anytime soon.
