PSP2, Switch 2 and an Xbox handheld... a brighter portable future?

Vita's big winter games score well in Japan

There's a right old battle between the 3DS and the Vita in this week's review scores, but I think we know which game will sell millions of copies. Phantasy Star Nova is just a point behind Pokemon, but even the with limited editions, will struggle to keep up with old Pikachu.


Visual novel Code Realize also does well, while it seems odd for Great Edo Blacksmith to be so well rated, given the shallow dating offering that Nippon Ichi is selling it at. Guess that's Famitsu for you. Between the three Vita sales might get a tickle, but will it hit the highs of this time last year? I doubt it.

Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire (3DS) – 9/10/9/9
Etrian Odyssey II (3DS) – 9/9/9/9
Phantasy Star Nova (PSV) – 9/9/9/9
Hero Bank 2 (3DS) – 9/9/8/8
Code:Realize – Sousei no Himegimi – (PSV) – 9/8/8/8
