In a Dusty Corner of E3 2015, the PS Vita DID Still Exist

Apparently, Sony released a new handheld in 2012. Who the hell knew? The story goes that, due to some admin mixup, the thing launched only in a remote village in the Galapagos Islands. The indigenous giant tortoises, natch, give no shits about video games, and so the ‘Vita' (according to legend, that's what it was called) sank without trace.

Snark aside, the console is one of the sad casualties of recent gaming. This thing has some pretty damn impressive tech inside it, and the usual ‘almost console-quality experience on a handheld' promise was almost justified. The exclusive Uncharted: Golden Abyss, for instance, is pretty damn sexy.

Sadly, no effer cared. And no effer cared because Sony have never generated much hypetacular for the system. At recent press events, they've taken care to avoid the subject entirely, hiding it away in the closet and pretending it doesn't exist like my early-teens porn stash. But at E3 2015, it at least got a passing mention.

Fans of the system --I know you're out there-- might want to take a quick ogle at this brief rundown of upcoming games. Sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads, Blazblue, limb-severin' sword action... there's something for everyone. If everyone wants to play Persona 4: Dancing All Night. Still, half-assed signs of life from the Vita are still signs of life.
