The ultimate checklist

These are the 100-odd PS Vita games that are launching in the US and Europe this year
|

Over on the PlayStation Blogs in the US and Europe, Sony has published monster lists of every PlayStation 3, 4, and Vita game that's due for release in 2015.

"The usual caveats apply. Development schedules sometimes shift, so this list can (and will) change as the months go by. But we’re planning to keep this updated all year long to reflect any changes, so feel free to bookmark it for future reference."

Being pocket gamers, we've gone through and stripped out every game that isn't on our favourite twin-stick Spelunky machine, to get a list of the 100-odd Vita games destined for release in the US and Europe in 2015.
