Retro City Rampage dev touts Vita as growth platform

In an inciteful state of the market post for how Retro City Rampage has performed in various markets, VBlank cites the Vita as a valuable platform for developers.

PS4 proves healthy as well. PlayStation developers releasing games in 2015 should prioritize PS4 followed by PS VITA.

Interestingly, a PSP version was in the works at one point. Hopefully, all the number crunching means the next game from the Studio will also hit the Vita, once they've ported RCR to every platform on the planet!
