Could Monster Hunter be just what the Vita needs?
It’s hard to say that the Japanese PlayStation Vita launch has been a resounding success. Slow sales have many gamers proclaiming the handheld’s demise even before it is launched in North America and Europe next month.

With the Nintendo 3DS Conference behind us, find out what the PixlTalk crew thinks of the 3DS and Nintendo's future in the coming generation.
Back this week, Nick, Chessa, Jason, and Nate are joined by Joaquim to talk about the latest developments over at the house of Mario. Given the recent news coming from the Nintendo 3DS Conference, the crew couldn't help but discuss the 3DS once again, though some discussion of Skyward Sword precedes, given its strong showing at the conference.
While it didn't make an appearance at last night's conference, Nintendo did officially reveal and detail it on their website.
It was expected that Nintendo would detail the new 3DS Circle Pad Attachment peripheral during their press conference last night. It was also speculated that the peripheral would be something Monster Hunter specific, designed and created by Capcom. Neither held true when Nintendo revealed the peripheral after the conference online last night. Retailing at ¥1,500, the peripheral will be an officially supported add-on and will be available later this year on December 10, alongside the release of Monster Hunter 3 G, which will include support for the peripheral.
3DS owners can look forward to Monster Hunter 4, Mario Tennis, and Fire Emblem.
Last night, Nintendo hosted a 3DS-centric press conference that revealed a variety of new games, details on existing titles, and a number of release dates and windows. The leaked peripheral that will feature a second circle pad wasn't featured at the show, though details were revealed officially by Nintendo on their website. Monster Hunter 3 G, which will utilize the peripheral, was showcased in depth, and its sequel, Monster Hunter 4 was officially revealed for the 3DS and teased with a short trailer.
With the announcement that this game has gone gold comes the announcement of its release date, it will be available this September 27 for the Nintendo DS.
Monster Hunter 3 G is also on the way and is the impetus for the new accessory.
Last night, scans from the new Famitsu magazine have confirmed the rumor that a second circle pad peripheral is coming to the 3DS. According to the article, the peripheral was spurred by a port of Monster Hunter Tri, Monster Hunter 3 G. In addition to adding a circle pad, the peripheral will bring a second R trigger button, adding further functionality to the system.
A brief glimpse of the story that the player will be able to follow in Solatorobo: Red the Hunter.
This "action-RPG" includes more running and standing around than action.
Valhalla Knights: Eldar Saga is the third iteration of the Valhalla Knights series, which up until now, have lived solely on the PSP. Each entry in the series is a part of the action-RPG genre featuring a mission-based structure. Eldar Saga falls in line with its predecessor but now features a seamless battle system that occurs in realtime.
