Publisher Poppy Works has come out with an unusual announcement this week - they've successfully ported visual novel creation software Ren'Py to Vita and all the other consoles, so if anyone wants to go and get their Ren'Py game on Vita, now's your chance.
KonoSuba is getting a dungeon RPG on Vita and PS4 from Japanese publisher Entergram. Not many details have been revealed about the game, including subtitle, release date, or quantity of useless goddesses. And a Western release is probably not forthcoming.
Ghoulboy, a retro hardcore-inspired platformer, has been announced for Vita by Dolores Entertainment, the publishers of Ice Cream Surfer. They have promised both physical and digital versions, but haven't given a date just yet.
There is a game I haven't talked about apparently coming to Vita called Alt Bosnia, which is apparently going to be a tactical strategy game. Not much info is available for the game outside of a couple of purposefully blurry screenshots.
There's a lot of physical news this week. We'll start with the one that's already out - the Limited Run Games version of Rabi Ribi, which should have been available from the 9th at 10am. Demetrios: The Big Cynical Adventure is up for preorder on Red Art Games. There's 999 copies at 25 euro apiece. The Bard's Tale physical version from Red Art Games has been delayed to the 21st of December due to them wanting to include last week's trophy patch. And NIS America have announced they'll be doing physical print runs of The Lost Child, Penny-Punching Princess and The Last 5 Minutes in North America, and they'll be releasing on the 19th of March next year for $30 USD.
The online shutdown date for Sound Shapes and PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale has been pushed back; they'll now go away on the 31st of Janurary next year. They haven't given a good reason for the pushback yet, but if anyone wants to try backing up all of the Sound Shapes levels, now's your chance.
And finally this week, although it's technically from last week - Bullet Girls Phantasia got a patch. I'm not sure what it does and I'm not sure where my copy is to check, but it got a patch, dangit. That's it for this week.
It's been a long week in Flashpoint terms so I'm kinda wrung out on what to bring to the channel, but I do have a couple of PC videos that will be going up this week in the form of GRIP and Shadow of War. I'll see if I can get something Vita related done but the release schedule has been pretty dry recently. Might have to dig into the backlog a little. Oh well.
