Ben-DutkaStill got a penchant for quirky Japanese games with an old-school flair? Then don't put away your PlayStation Vita just yet.
Aksys Games has announced Shiren the Wanderer: The Tower of Fortune and the Dice of Fate , which will hit Sony's portable in North America on July 26.
Players will assume the role of Shiren, who takes to the wilds with a trusted companion by the name of Koppa. Koppa is actually a talking weasel and he has to talk because per tradition, our protagonist Shiren is silent. This new iteration is actually "an enhanced and expanded update of Shiren the Wanderer 5 ," which only released in Japan (check out the trailer below). And as Aksys says, they want this new version to "continue the tradition of rogue-like RPGs by offering players a gaggle of dungeons and monsters to conquer."
This will offer a goodly challenge but you can always team up with a willing friend. If Aksys delivers on the promises, this could be one of the better Vita experiences scheduled for 2016.

Legend of heroes: cold steel is a reason to fire up the vita, awesome game.
Not so sure about this one, but I'll keep my eye on it.
I've heard a lot of good things about that series. I need to check it out.
This looks pretty nifty. Although I still play on my Vita on a fairly regular basis. I refuse to give it up!
All the legend of heroes games imo have been really good. The PSP versions are very good, there's a second chapter to trails in the sky which i haven't quite got my teeth into yet because of cold steel coming out.
So far cold steel has a different look than the other heroes games, more in time with the tales or persona games, in fact it does remind me a little of persona 4. Anyway, until Ben reviews this we shouldn't highjack this thread, lol. Go and check it or, it's awesome.
I will check them out sometime, thanks for the heads up.
