February 2012 Video Game Releases: Playstation Vita Launch And Over 70 Games

February may be the shortest month in the year but in terms of video game releases, it may only be eclipsed by November this year. Not only do we see the launch of the Playstation Vita and a ton of launch games, we also get Resident Evil: Revelations on the 3DS, Twisted Metal on the PS3, Asura’s Wrath, The Darkness 2, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, and over 65 more games.

It's safe to say that I will have no money after this month is over.

so the ps vita is launching with more games than the 3ds garnered in a whole year, wicked. i cant wait for the best handheld in history. all sony has to do is support the vita with software like they do the ps3 and it will be more successful than the 3ds or close.

buying 2 first day.

"all sony has to do is support the vita with software like they do the ps3 and it will be more successful than the 3ds or close."

Why does it need to be more successful than the 3DS? Why compare Vita to the 3DS at all?

[imbrawler]

i thought this article was about the ps vita not the 3ds, also both have its + and -, thats why if possible own both like me

[dark-hollow]

Why do you have to attack the 3ds and the wii u on a daily basis?
Insecure much?

[Game4life]

pertty sure its not just the best handheld launch but the best video game console launch lineup ever seen if you ask me

[Stealth2k]

And the 3ds has 200 games in dev, is number 1 worldwide, and the vita is flopping.

so you tell me what has the potential to be the best?>

[CrazyInsane]

@stealth2k Shall i remind you how succesful the 3ds was upon release ?

[Mikhail]

3DS has good software lineup right now as compared to the vita. But they did it for a span of 1 year.

To all vita bashers, its not a flop yet until we see its performance after 1 year. Yep, 1 year. For months, we all saw how the 3ds is labelled as a flop and look at what happened.

[coojo]

vita has 1 good game i got 20 3ds so...

[WrAiTh Sp3cTr3]

None of those games make me want to buy a Vita let alone first day.

[ronin4life]

@im
It's not. It is about all games in Feb.
@crazy
That hardly matters now.

It's also safe to say that it is the greatest launch of all times concerning games.

I mean medias alwys focusing on minor problems, but when it commes to talk about games hey, everybody is gone...

What people want when they buy such device : games to play.
Is there game on Vita ?
A ton.

I've never seen such a prolific launch in my life of player.

Sony did some great mistake by the past, but this, it is great Maybe the best thing they did since a long time. Kudos.

[Criminal]

I can afford either a PS Vita and Uncharted: Golden Abyss or Twisted Metal, SSX, Mass Effect 3. It's tough because I like getting new consoles on day one, but I really wanna play the other 3 games.

[TrendyGamers]

I don't envy you, that is a very tough choice!

[Game4life]

throw in the jax collection as well. i really want neverdead though

[MasterCornholio]

It saddens me to see people claim that the Vita has no games when the truth is that the Vita is launching with a very strong lineup with many more great games to come in the future.

[insomnium2]

Well I believe they are the haters who say that. No matter what Sony can't win in their opinion.

[ronin4life]

There are plenty of games, just none that appeal to me.

It saddens me that people claim the 3ds has no games when the truth is the Vita is launching against a system with a powerful lineup with many great games to come in the future.
You don't have to like them, but there's no point in denying the truth.

[CrazyInsane]

Its not a positive thing that the vita has lots of launch games.Most of the less popular games will be overlooked.

[JoeReno]

While it may be true for the masses "the less popular game will be over looked" but to the core gamer (whom often reads video game news) will know what's up. We are the forefront for spreading the word on the lesser known games, we tell our COD loving friends that there are other great games out there. So to me its very much a positive thing to have many launch games. Because Uncharted isn't the only game I'm going to buy day one. Come on Feb.15th!

[thehusbo]

Ps vita, uncharted golden abyss, twisted metal, jak and hd and a load of other vita games :ooo great month ahead :D

[Mighty Boom]

I'm getting a Vita. Not sure what what games I want. UnCh is a maybe, never played it before.

What can I expect form this system? Anyone?

[TrendyGamers]

Uncharted is a no brainer, if you played Modnation on PS3 I'd recommend it, just be aware of the fact that there is no online multiplayer.

Rayman Origins is a great choice if you've never played it before, Hot Shots Golf is good if you want an easy, laid back game.

Best thing to do is wait until some review pop up but from the Uncharted import reviews, it rivals the PS3 versions.

Hopefully this helped!

[SamPao]

I can recommend Uncharted, every uncharted has been an absolute masterpiece!
and then I recommend Wipeout, for arcade, long lasting fun, and you can start, play a lap, and finish. and so on.
These two games is also what I'm gettin the first month.
after that Gravity Rush for sure, the rest is still a "wait and see"

[Mikhail]

Remote Play is a nice feature. You can play games over wifi. So you can play games on your ps3 when your outside as long as the web connection is strong. Though there is a lag if you use it.

The launch lineup is more of a portable ps3 experience. Its still lack the handheld gaming experience (but I'm waiting for gravity daze and the inevitable monster hunter)

[Mighty Boom]

I'm thinking I'll by Lumines and UnCh.
