The Vita remaster looks to be an improvement, but just how much of an improvement does it need to be? Lets find out!

NISa have announced the time & date for their annual press event: February 13th at 6pm PST. That would make it about 2am for GMT meaning a late night viewing for the rest of our EU readers. Theres no live stream but that doesn't mean we won't get up to the minute news from the event to relay! The event will be used to announce new localisations.

Fairy Fencer F? Hyperdimension Neptunia Re:Birth 1& 2? Planet Destroyer Black Heart? Disgaea 4 Return? Danganronpa 2? Zillions of Enemy X? Battle Princess Arcadia? and the list goes on & on.

English Danganronpa trailer released

The surprising localisation of Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc has got itself an English trailer in light of its immanent release. An intriguing title that's one to keep an eye on. Set for release on PSVita in February on the 11th (US) & the 14th(EU) Will you be spending your time on Valentines day sleuthing instead of smooching?

New Re:Birth 2 Sisters Generation Trailer

A new trailer has made its way onto the internet for the soon to be released (in Japan) Hyperdimension Neptunia Mk2 remake, Re:Birth 2 Sisters Generation. While Mk2 itself seemed to play fairly well to me, its been handed a remaster as the original was using improvements & mechanics from Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory. The trailer does a good job of detailing those new additions, but its unfortunately in entirely Japanese. Still, the game is looking good for the Vita. With a launch in Japan on 20th March, who else is holding out for a localisation?

FFXIII retrospective trailer

Ever wondered what a 16-bit FFXIII would be like? For those curious, Square Enix have launched a retrospective trailer in anticipation of Lightning Returns. The trailer takes on a 16-bit style and recaps the events from the previous 2 releases in the FFXIII saga up to the latest that's due for release next month. Its actually a really well done trailer which will no doubt delight long-time fans of the Final Fantasy series.

Fantasy Hero: Unsigned Legacy Japanese trailer

Arc System Works are well known for their zany BlazBlue fighter series, what happens when they give the ARPG genre a go? Well Fantasy Hero: Unsigned Legacy of course! An offbeat cast of a transforming hero, mecha piloting girl, gunslinger & a masked wrestler to play as will no doubt have some out there already intrigued. This latest trailer is entirely in Japanese, as the title itself has still not been announced for a localisation yet. Still its worth a look to see how things play out, plus the Vita could do with a few more ARPG's so it may be one to import if nothing on the localisation front pops up. Due for release at the tail end of 2013, a delay means Japan will now now see the title at some point in Spring 2014. Does it have your interest?

English Freedom wars trailer

Well guys, this is some good news. Sony released an English trailer of Freedom wars today. This means localization is closer than we think. I think that Sony will announce this game is coming this year to the Playstation vita in the west. Hopefully i'm right!

Enjoy the trailer below
