A Follow-up To The PS Vita?
Yesterday we shared with you NieR: Automata 4K footage on PC which looked absolutely stunning. Today, NieR: Automata Director Yoko Taro took to Twitter to express his thoughts on a successor to the PS Vita.
Considering the popularity of mobile games and the way things have gone for the PS Vita, we cannot imagine that Sony Interactive Entertainment would be inclined to release a new portable console. Yet NieR: Automata Director Yoko Taro would still like to see it happen. Taro expressed his desire for a PS Vita successor on Twitter, stating that while the release of the Nintendo Switch helps, heโd prefer a smaller next-generation portable. Check out his Tweet below:

Donโt worry, we have the translation where he said:
โI want a Vita successor. While I feel a bit relieved since the Switch appeared, Iโd like a slightly smaller next-generation portable game machine. Iโd like to satisfy the desire that cannot be satisfied by smartphones, that donโt have physical buttons.โ
Despite the popularity of mobile phones, portable game consoles are still relatively popular in Japan. So his comments are definitely understandable. Never say never, right?
Last week, we published our full official written review for NieR: Automata. In it, our man Nicholas said: โEven if you havenโt touched Darkengard or NieR in the past, I canโt recommend NieR: Automata enough. Itโs such an interesting meld of open RPG, twitch action, platformer, bullet hell shooter that shouldnโt be ignored by anyone. In the slew of amazing games this spring release season, itโs easy to forget about this gem because itโs a sequel. Donโt let that happen to you.โ
