Namco Bandai Announce 3 PlayStation Vita Launch Titles

Namco Bandai have announced that 3 titles are being developed to be released with the launch of Sony’s handheld, the PlayStation Vita, which will be available on February 22, 2012. One of these in particular I’m super stoked about!

Touch My KatamariThe ever-growing ball of bits and bobs is controlled by touching the screen or using both analog control sticks to roll it in any direction. A completely new Katamari gameplay feature allows players to use the rear touch panel of the PlayStation Vita system to stretch the ball either horizontally or vertically to pick up more objects at once or squeeze through a narrow gap.

Ridge RacerPlayers can expect high-speed drifting at break-neck speeds in high-performance racing machines with exciting new gameplay additions. Drift racing fans looking for edge-of-your-seat action will be able to truly feel the on-screen drama through the revolutionary features of the PS Vita using the Ad-Hoc and Wi-Fi functionality that will allow players to instantly race against rivals from around the world in real-time.

Shinobido 2: Revenge of ZenPlayers will step into the role of Zen, a master assassin, through a thrilling dynamic storyline of betrayal and intrigue. Zen will use his honed ninja craft to assassinate and silently dispose of the opposition with satisfying and graphic kills. Developed by ACQUIRE Corp., renowned developers of the ninja stealth genre and countless smash hits, Shinobido 2: Revenge of Zen will bring an unparalleled level of assassin themed action to the PS Vita.

I’m a huge Katamari fan, so I’m really excited for this news. Sony is really stacking the launch of the PlayStation Vita, maybe looking to redeem themselves after the PSP didn’t live up to the expectations of many. Let’s hope they succeed! If you have any thoughts or are looking forward to any of these titles, or if there’s a series that you haven’t seen announced for the PS Vita that you’re hoping for, let us know in the comments!
