Vita rolls into 2020, still kicking

As the hype narrative turns to PlayStation 5 and Xbox whatever-they're-calling it, the Vita slides further into the rear view mirror of gaming history, never to be updated or replaced.

Even so, there's still a bunch of 30+ games on the release list with most still in active development, a few physicals still to come too and who knows what other goodies on the way.

I'll check up on those titles that are lurking in the new year, and we're bound to see a few new titles pop up. Most will be ports, but the Vita makes a great low-end starting point for developers (assuming they can still get dev kits) for pixel and low-poly efforts.

Beyond that, people are still picking up Vita units second hand, either for hardcore collecting or curiosity. This blog will mostly be for them in 2020 and beyond, as a guide to the near-decade of great games that still make it a worthwhile investment. As for us old-timers with all those games, the PS-One and classic remaster love, the Vita should remain a fond part of any gaming collection, even if the Switch represents the future (yes, I have one, but I don't particularly love it) selling silly numbers in Japan and becoming the go-to indie machine in the west.
