New Vita Games Confirmed for Early 2014

During a panel at Anime Expo in Los Angeles this past weekend, NIS America announced two new Vita games for 2014. Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc and Demon Gaze – a game faintly resembling the Persona series – will be coming to Europe and North America in “early” 2014, exclusively for the PS Vita.

Having had a recent surge in popularity, Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc falls under the ‘visual novel’ niche. It was originally released in 2010 for the PSP, followed by a sequel in 2012. The game revolves around the theme of ‘Truth’ and NIS promises investigative gameplay and Truth-Seeking adventures. Coming exclusively to PS Vita, the game will be launching in early 2014.

Demon Gaze is the second PS Vita title confirmed for a European and North American release. At first glance, it is eerily reminiscent of the Persona series (which is beyond awesome) but boasts gameplay resembling the Etrian Odyssey franchise as well as all the traditional RPG elements expected. Demon Gaze is also set for an early 2014 release.

With lots of new Vita games on the horizon, Sony’s little handheld that could is slowly starting to fend for itself.

Now, if only we could get Ys: Memories of Celceta localized…
