The Vita is really hitting it out of the park, as the saying goes, lately.
Taiko no Tatsujin: V Version just hit Japanese store shelves, and the intriguing "enforced side-scroll RPG" known as Mystery Chronicle: I Won't Look Back Until I Win will follow in that game's footsteps in a couple of weeks.
And then there are the slew of North American Vita titles that will be released between now and the end of the year that also look mighty interesting, including Hatoful Boyfriend (due out on July 21), Persona 4: Dancing All Night (Sept. 29) and the one that's the focus of this blog post: Crypt of the NecroDancer.
Unfortunately, all that's known at the moment is that this much-heralded rhythm-based roguelike, which previously only could be played on a PC, is that it's coming soon.
Here's hoping "soon" means within the next couple of months, because I'm really itching to (finally) experience this sucker. Even if it doesn't hit the PlayStation Store--or whatever Sony calls its digital store these days--until later this year, though, I'll still pay whatever I have to in order to add Crypt of the NecroDancer to my slowly expanding collection of Vita titles.
Are any of you excitedly planning to purchase this game, too?
I've played this on Pc with DDR dance mat and the mat really adds something special to it. I will be picking this up. I hope it's X-buy so I can play it on both Vita & Ps4.
ReplyDeleteOh, I looooooove the idea of playing a game like this with a dance pad! Sadly, I have neither a dance pad nor a PC, so I'll just have to make do with the Vita version ^^
ReplyDeleteIt was great fun. It's much easier to play with a controller though, less fatigue :-)
ReplyDeleteHa! Yes, I can imagine :)
ReplyDeleteI've been holding out on this coming to a console before I dive into it. It looks incredibly fun. Enjoyed watching Nick Robinson play it on YouTube, and fiance has been enjoying it on Steam.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you and I are in the same boat then :)
ReplyDeleteI......I think I own this on Steam.......maybe? But it's on Robb's PC, which means that I'd have access to HIS music, not mine...which is a fair difference.
ReplyDeleteI just checked. Nope. Don't own it. I think I passed it up in a sale because of that reason.
Do you have a PS4, Justin? I can't remember. If you do, you could always get it that way!
ReplyDeleteNope. Not yet, anyway. I feel like I might get one before the end of the year, with all that good E3 stuff...
ReplyDeleteThat's understandable. Of a lot of this big SE games aren't going to be out until this time next year, if even then! Me, I can't imagine getting one--unless, of course, DQXI is *mighty* impressive...
