Bit of a stinker

This week on the PS Vita Store: Atomic Ninjas, Atelier Meruru Plus, and more
|

You want new downloadable PS Vita games, do you? You want them now, do you? Tough.

Unfortunately, you see, you're out of luck this week as far as the digital Vita store is concerned.

Even the folks in charge of PlayStation Mobile can't really help. I mean, we haven't had any new PS Mobile games for two whole weeks. Yowza.

Anyway. Let's see what's new in the world of digital Vita games, then, eh...

Full-price releases

I have zero idea if Atomic Ninjas is any good. It's not usually a good sign, though, when a game debuts and there aren't any reviews for it around.

In this online multiplayer platformer, you slice your friends up over a variety of arenas. This one has a virtual £7.99 price tag around its neck.

Americans, meanwhile, can download Atelier Meruru Plus: The Apprentice of Arland, a Japanese RPG that wasn't very well received when it surfaced on PS3 last year. Perhaps this $39.99 Vita port is a wee bit better.

Oh, US Vita owners can also bag Die! Die! Die! for $4.99, but let's not delve any deeper into that.

DLC-wise, both Europeans and Americans can nab a few more table packs for The Pinball Arcade. That's nice.

Sales, price drops, and PS Plus

Europeans! How about some lovely Lego games for your PS Vita?

A whole range of Lego games are on offer this week, including Pirates of the Caribbean, Batman 2, and Lord of the Rings. And if you're a PS Plus subscriber, you can get an extra 10 percent off the sale price.

In the US, Personal 4 Golden is on sale for $19.99. That is a ridiculously good price. And for some reason, Valhalla Knights is now completely free to download. Odd but great.

Back again next week!
