While its sales figures would indicate that most people barely even knew the Vita existed, for a small group of people — myself included — today is a sad day on #VitaIsland: it’s the very last day that Sony is allowing new games to release on their handheld.
While not even I could pretend that the crop of games being released today are going to make much of an impact in the broader gaming world (and some are of very questionable quality — though I’ll be honest, I’m buying every single one of them that comes out today), there is one among them that stands out: Russian Subway Dogs.
The game has been in development for more than 5 years, and the developer’s Twitter account has been quite the wild ride as he raced to get his game completed before Sony stopped accepting new Vita games. Nonetheless, Russian Subway Dogs made it in just in time, and launch trailer is below. The game has been out on Steam for awhile, but the Vita version features some exclusive characters from games like Nuclear Throne and Minit, to go along with other unlockable guest stars from games like Guacamelee! and Va-11 Hall-A.
Read on for the trailer and the news release!

Why release a ?PS Vita? Game in 2021? Developer Miguel Sternberg explains: ?While probably not the soundest ?business decision™? this release has been a passion project of mine, a way to celebrate the last chapter of one of my favorite handhelds.
