One Angry Gamer "Fans of the old high-saturation, 8-bit racing titles from the yesteryears of gaming will absolutely love Drift Stage. The game is a 3D racing title aimed to replicate the look and sounds of the retro-racing titles from the NES and arcade days when the Lamborghini Countach and Ferrari Testarossa were all the rave."
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "Two years ago, the Vita was in an undeniably better state. It had never sold particularly well worldwide, but it wasn’t on the verge of discontinuation, with western cart production stopping and stiff competition from the new kid on the block. At the very least, its prospects were more promising and there was still plenty on the horizon to look forward to."
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "The racing genre has always felt like a perfect fit on handhelds, thanks to offering bite-sized sessions and being able to hide technical flaws behind blistering speeds and enclosed environments. It provides a large amount of variety too, from immersive sims to light-hearted kart racers (and my personal favourite, drift-heavy arcade racers!), meaning there’s usually something for everyone to enjoy.
Anticipation was high that the Vita would follow in the PSP’s footsteps as a handheld offering an unrivalled selection of racers, from muddy WRC titles to the clean racing lines of Gran Turismo. Beyond the initial months things didn’t quite pan out like this, but there’s still a nice spread of games available to cater to anyone’s tastes – and thanks to the addition of backwards-compatibility with PSP and PS1, the Vita ends up with possibly the largest selection of any console in the last 10 years, even if it's not all running natively on the hardware."
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "No matter how many times I get told "Vita is dead", the handheld manages to keep on chugging on - every week there seems to be a new game tease, announcement, or release to keep the console going. Although Nintendo's Switch has hit the ground running and sadly siphoned off some support in terms of indies and Japanese games, 2018 looks to still be a brilliant year for Sony's handheld hardware, with a number of key titles lined up ranging from big publishers to tiny indies."
Vita coming on with another strong year after being declared dead by so many. I'm sure there will be more than these 11 titles
Vita means life!!! ;))
I can not believe Catherine will be on the Vita, such a treat.
