New details regarding Dynasty Warriors Next for the PlayStation Vita were revealed in this week’s issue of Famitsu. According to the publication DW Next will feature 65 playable characters indicating that everyone from Dynasty Warriors 7 plus the three new ones introduced for Xtreme Legends will return in the Vita version.
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "the handheld was unable to attract certain types of software – western AAA development quickly evaporated, as did Sony’s own support, because there weren’t enough consoles out there for such titles to be profitable. But that doesn’t mean that every publisher failed to find success. Indeed, there are a number of franchises out there that have been able to appeal to the Vita’s niche and which have seen positive sales numbers and critical reception, leading to them becoming mainstays on the handheld.
It’s these series that I intend to examine in more depth this article – what they are, what entries we’ve seen, what success they’ve had, and what it’s meant for the console’s future. I’ll be using known sales figures where possible to back things up, hopefully demonstrating that the Vita has been a solid home for a number of great series despite its otherwise weak commercial performance on the market."

If you can wait till the 5th, they accidentally leaked that BF4: Premium (ie full game + all DLC) will be available for £29.99. See here: http://www.hotukdeals.com/d...
awesome,I'm hesitant though.This may end up on ps plus...and I prefer to buy the "Masterpieces" with a physical copy
That and it'll take up a 10% of your hard drive at around the 45GB mark but yeah great game and pretty good price for those wanting digital version, got my day one edition for about £28 so I've not exactly lost a lot over 2 months.
Dynasty Warriors Next is one of the few Vita games that I honestly could not recommend to anyone.
This game, like other Dynasty Warriors games before it, is an action-based hand-to-hand combat game where you control 65 different historical figures from ancient China. This game revolves around three in particular – the power struggle between Liu Bei, Cao Cao and Sun Ce (Liew Bay, Tsau Tsau and Tsun Say, phonetically), almost 1900 years ago. I am a big fan of games steeped in history – even if that history is half-fictional like in the Assassin’s Creed franchise. This game had a very low standard by which it had to impress me; this should have been an easy sale. Not only did it fail to impress me, but it failed spectacularly.
Nice I think Ill get.
It would be nice if they could make this a NA launch title aswell.
Who needs quality when you can have quantity instead?
I'll bet they re-use movesets for more than half that list. And I'll also bet the gameplay is only superficially different than that of any other Musou title.
