I'm prepared to spend the Christmas break with my Japanese PlayStation Vita, but that doesn't mean that I'm not looking forward to the US launch and finally getting my hands on all the English-language launch games. My Japanese is not great.
Sony has put together a list of all the launch titles for Vita's February 22 launch, and they say that this is the biggest and best lineup they've hever launched with across all PlayStation platforms. 25 games will be available on day 1, and more than 100 more are in development. You'll find the full list of launch games after the jump.
Sony says that every Vita will come with six AR Play Cards and a voucher for a bundle of AR games called AR Play.
Finally, all of the launch accessories have also been listed. There's a nifty Starter Kit for Vita. For $39.99 you get a 4GB memory card, a pocket pouch, protective screen film, a card case, headphones and a cleaning cloth. You'll also find the accessory list after the jump.
What will you be getting at launch. I busted my wallet open for Japanese launch games and accessories. I need to save up for February!

Also, that is not just me gushing, I have seen consoles with less games months after they launched. The PS Vita is totally packing heat in its launch line up.
Anyway, looks like a decent list even though there isn't much I'm personally interested in. Then there's the obligatory launch day sports/racing games that seem to be at every launch day ever.
8 GB Memory Card February 15, 2012 $29.99
16 GB Memory Card February 15, 2012 $59.99
32 GB Memory Card February 15, 2012 $99.99
can everyone shut the fuck up about the memory already
Still expensive, but at least not madly so.
Weeeeheeee!!
Right, because 32GB for a hundred bucks is a gift from Jesus...
DAY ONE
But I will definitely get Little Deviants. Sadly to say that's all that's there for me on launch day. So I'll probably wait until the real system seller comes out: Gravity Rush
Of course, personal opinion wil differ, but I mean to say in overall mass appeal the 2 are far closer than many seem to realise.
a 4GB card would barely contain FFVII and FFVIII.
That aside. 25 games and not one I find interesting.
Once again, show's how pathetic of a journalist he is. EVERYONE knows that prices are static between regions. Japanese videogames can be almost $100 yet we only pay $60 if not less. Its the same for movies and videogame accessories. So bias was shown and he was trying to make it seem worse than it is
you will most likely be able to get it for like 3$ when buying a cheap but fully functional Chinese cable
i hope sony and nintendo NEVER stop with the handhelds, you get some of the best experiences from them.
Hopefully by launch I will have enough save to get the vita, blazblue, and either katamari or escape plan. I also have those free psp titles that they were handing out for the psn outage a while back.
I think the last time Jim made a story about the Mem cards he was going off a gamestop listing. And these prices aren't that far off anyway, seeing as paying any amount after dropping $250 on a console on anything but Games for it would be painful regardless of cost.
And while nothing on this list interests me (okay, Army corp of hell maybe), I can still see why people would say they are excited.(Altough I think the reaction is a bit much sometimes)
But I'm generalizing the lineups, not based my own opinion of favorite games, but the appeal and type on display. In this, they are quite similar.
They never announced US pricing. Gamestop, the source of many a lazy journalists news, did the simple Yen to Dollar conversion, rounded, and called it a day. However, since we never paid $70 for Dragon Quest IX, we now know such foolish estimations are moronic to begin with.
Also its nice to see the memory cards don't cost as much as we thought. 8GB will be fine until something better comes along.
@Ronin4life
it's an external battery charger with 5000mAh capacity
Nice, since it will extend vita battery life with 6-10 hours more (which make it 9-15 hours in total) and probably you can still use it for any usb powered device.

Welcome to the Portable Videogames Addiction group. Please share with us, when did you realized you were a social pariah?
"and probably you can still use it for any usb powered device"
Which means that with a simple cable you can also use it for the 3DS, giving it about 5 time the play time.
...which is like dividing by zero.
I'm buying it.
