While Sony put out a lot of PS Vita trailers today, it had nothing to say about Sumioni, a scrolling action game with graphics inspired by ink drawings. Fortunately, a video still crept onto the Internet today, so check it out!

It's a little slow paced, but one would assume that it's an early stage and that things could get more hectic later on. Either way, it's a promising little title that will likely look gorgeous on that 5-inch screen, so it's worth keeping in mind. Hopefully it comes to the West!

Hmm. I may need to 'brush' up on my side-scrolling if I want to be able to 'sweep' through this with any semblance of skill.


Calligraphy.

@ Orange Army

If you plan on getting the Vita version of Ridge Racer, you're a fool.

Nope,I'm not,I just needed a game to paint a clear message,and Ridge Racer is the first game I thought of.

While the RR looks state of the art,I'm against being slowly raped by DLC.It paints a grim picture of the future of gaming.

Well, this looks a lot like Okami.

Not only the graphics.

This reminds me of OKami and Patapon, so I now have a ginormous erection.

Honestly this looks really crappy to me. Muramasa and Okami both looked beautiful, this is ugly. Even Okamiden for DS looks better. The way the Pagoda wobbles back and forth looks like flash animation. That combat looks really boring too. There's tons of great looking Vita games, but this looks like an easy pass.

Sony's Japan Studio made a much better looking game for PSP called Over My Dead Body.

Jim sure paints a nice picture of this game, but it seems a little obscure so I doubt many gamers will pencil this game in on their buy-list.

I was just wondering what happens when you mix Buddhism and acid. Thanks Jim.
