"Barely did anything for them"? Uh, the Xbox 360 sold just under 2 million LTD units in Japan. The original Xbox topped out at 500k. Xbox One isn't even at 50k (no zero missing) yet. Given those figures, the RPGs certainly are missed.
I feel like you kind of buried the lead in the story here. Their cancelled Vita projects are much more interesting to me than the obvious death of Syphon Filter. It's been 8 years. No duh.
If I shot myself in the face the PS4 version of Toukiden would finally meet something that looks worse than it.
It's not.
Most of Sony's Vita downports are horrible. I can't see anything in Resogun on Vita because the resolution isn't anywhere close to Vita's, and Jak & Daxter makes me sick with its frame rate.
I don't think it's fair that Sony routinely shits on Vita owners with poorly made PS4/PS3 downports, but gives PS4 owners the best version of Vita games. Nor do I think it's fair that Vita apparently isn't allowed exclusive games. You can talk about Cro...
Sony treats Vita owners so horribly. They like to talk about how they listen to gamers and are humble, but that's just talk as far as Vita is concerned. Instead they treat a fanbase largely consisting of their most diehard as though they don't exist - and worse off, as though they shouldn't exist.
Those are free-to-play games in Japan. In fact, every game in this bundle is.
Atelier Rorona 3DS is a demake. It features different graphics. It's also on track to sell nothing so I'm not sure 3DS will ever see another entry in that series.
As for Pokemon, I apologize. If you click "Computer Games" on the left it'll show you the video games, not the anime. I can't link you to a sorted version of that list. It says things like Pokemon X&Y, Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Rumble U, etc. are multi-platform, when in actual...
Sony's more interested in fixing Vita software exploits than actually making software for it.
You should stop making rumour posts based off of the Australian ratings board. For the past few years they've listed every single game as multi-platform:

http://www.classification.g... (Metal Gear Solid 4)

There isn't going to be a successor.
A lot of rumours seem to indicate that Sony Mobile might not be Sony Mobile for very long.
Could just be a localization for One Piece: Grand Battle X and Ace Combat Assault Horizon Legacy+. Both support Amiibo, which is a big feature for New 3DS.
"Thus far, Namco’s output on 3DS has been limited"
No: http://www.bandainamcogames...
Should Nintendo really be promoting "faster processing power" when the average mobile device in a person's pocket outclasses the machine by a significant margin?
Since PS4 is such a huge success that'll mean they'll focus on improving Vita's situation, right? ... Right? ... :(
The Australian ratings board lists every new video game as multi-platform because they're lazy, not because it's getting released on multiple platforms.
Vanillaware has done New Years images that have been unrelated to their games for years now.
Congrats PS4, you have Vita's blood on your hands.
Those are Sony games. They abandoned Vita.
