Sony claim that there will a grand total of 100 titles released for Vita during the “Launch Window”, which is nice and vague. Other titles announced included Metal Gear Solid HD collection and the Zone of the Enders HD Collection. While little was detailed, it has been confirmed that these titles will support save sharing between the Vita and PS3 versions of the game, thanks to cloud saves. This means that, in theory, you will be able to start you game at home on the PS3, continue it on the go with the Vita, and upon returning home pick up where you left off on your PS3 again.
We’re not entirely sure how many of these games will make it to the west, but you can be sure that titles like Uncharted and Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom will make it to our shores.
The Western release date for the Vita has yet to be confirmed, but we’re pretty sure it’ll land sometime in March.
