Spike Chunsoft recently put up a job listing for a new Danganronpa title - they're seeking a character designer, 3D designer and game programmer for a new Vita and PS4 project, in the action genre. There's been no official announcement as of yet.

Deadbolt, a one-hit-and-you're-dead stealth action platformer from the team behind Risk of Rain, was rated for the Vita on the European ratings board this week. The game has over 25 missions, 30 weapons and 35 enemy types. No official announcement here either.

Russian Subway Dogs, an arcade-styled game about feeding the rambunctious mutts of the metro, is coming to the Vita and PS4 sometime next year. It'll have missions and a combo system for strategic play, alongside wacky humor in the area of something like Lichtspeer.

Ice Cream Surfer HD, a scrolling shooter about ballistically modified desert treats, is coming to the Vita, PS4 and Switch sometime "soon" according to a tweet from the developer. Not many details are available about this port just yet, but it was previously released on Wii U.

Ratalaika continues their Vita support with two new games announced this week; the first is 0000, quadruple 0, four-zero, what have you. It's a super-hard super-retro platformer with a slight twist; if you die you're put into a completely different level to try again. It'll be out next year.

The second game from Ratalaika is Metagal, an obviously Megaman inspired jump and shoot platformer with 8 levels, bosses and secret items. Ratalaika says this game will be available within the next two months.

Another Japanese visual novel that Gematsu thought would be worth talking about so I will too. D.S. Dal Segno is a visual novel from Circus launching on the 22nd of March. It's about a transfer student moving to an island paradise and meeting girls. That'd be nice. Don't expect a localization for this one.

Dates, or rather, games that might be closer than they were previously. Iconoclasts, a game I last talked about all the way back in weekly update #159, has been rated by the European ratings board, implying an upcoming release, although oddly the rating has since been delisted from the website. In the same vein, One More Dungeon recently got a trophy list. Sekai Project have said visual novel Root Double is close to being submitted to Sony for approval, so that may be along shortly as well. And Mercenary Kings, while still having no date announced, recently got a teaser trailer for a Reloaded Edition, which is still listed as coming to Vita, with a Tribute Games developer saying they're still fully committed to the port.

And finally this week, a cancellation. Daisenryaku Perfect 4.0 got a Switch version announced this week, and with it's announcement seems to be the complete and utter shuttering of the PlayStation Vita version; all mention of that version has been scrubbed from the publisher and game's website, all replaced by the Switch version. A cancellation hasn't been announced, but damn if it isn't obvious. That's it for this week.

That Daisenryaku news stings a bit, I'd much prefer being able to play it on Vita than Switch...for upcoming videos I admit I can't promise much, mainly because we don't know if anything will even be out over the next two weeks. If I have nothing new to show for Vita this week, I have a couple of Better Late than Never that I can put out; I do have stuff to do on Switch including Skyrim and Worms WMD, so at least I won't be completely jobless.
