This morning, Sony announced that Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time would be coming to the Playstation Vita when the game launches this Fall. With no prior rumours or hints, this came as quite a shock, but it also begs the question, will Playstation All-Stars: Battle Royale and Little Big Planet Karting come to the Vita as well?

Well, with E3 right around the corner, a Playstation Vita announcement for both titles seems highly likely. The handheld currently doesn’t have any high profile titles from Sony coming out this holiday season, other than Sly Cooper. By bringing these two games to the Vita, Sony could also include cross-platform saves and encourage further sales on both of their systems, leading to a very big Fall for the company.

Not only would it make financial sense, the porting process shouldn’t be too difficult. Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale is a 2D fighting game and while the graphics are highly polished, with a lot of background changes, the game should fit very nicely onto the Vita. As for Little Big Planet Karting, if the developers remove certain aspects of customization to reduce load times, the game could run smoothly on the Vita, unlike Modnation Racers: Road Trip.

Now, even though the Sly Cooper Vita announcement came out a little out of left field, both Playstation All-Stars and Little Big Planet Karting have never received a firm “no” when developers were asked if a handheld version was possible, with “maybe” being the common answer. Adding a little bit to that, Target did list a Playstation Vita version of Playstation All-Stars: Battle Royale and a poster from EB Games Australia listed Little Big Planet Karting on the Vita as well. This may be nowhere close to confirmation, but it does put a little more fuel on the fire.

So, while all of this is purely speculation, we’ll still keep our fingers crossed that we Vita versions of both of these titles during the Sony Press Conference at E3 in just a couple of weeks.

What do you think? Will either of these titles make it to the Vita? Let us know in the comments section below.

Lollipop Chainsaw (Xbox 360, PS3) – June 12th

Lollipop Chainsaw is definitely a game to look forward to. You play as Juliet Starling, a chainsaw wielding cheerleader, who has the head of her boyfriend attached to her. The whole game has you killing hordes of zombies as you try to uncover the root of the undead outbreak. While it probably won’t win any Game of the Year awards, it should definitely be fun to play all the way through.

Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes (PS3, PSV, PC, Xbox 360, Wii, DS, 3DS) – June 19th

The Lego series has always delivered fun, easy to play video games that include some of our favourite characters. With Lego Batman 2: DC Super Hereoes, they look to take that to the next level as they throw in numerous characters from the DC universe, such as Superman, Aquaman, and Wonder Woman. Couple this with the well polished gameplay seen in past entries and you have a game to look forward to.

Pokemon Conquest (DS) – June 18th

Out of all the Pokemon spin-offs ever created, Pokemon Conquest looks to be the best. Mixing tactical RPG elements with the world of Pokemon, this game will give players the chance to battle with their pocket monsters in very similar fashion to Fire Emblem and Final Fantasy Tactics.

The Last Story (Wii) – June 19th

Following in the footsteps of Xenoblade Chronicles, The Last Story will finally be coming to North America in June. Judging by European and Japanese reviews of the game, Wii owners will be able to pick up yet another sprawling RPG that will give countless hours of gameplay.

Gravity Rush (PSV) – June 12th

Launching just two weeks after Resistance: Burning Skies, Gravity Rush will give Playstation Vita owners yet another great title. Utilizing the effects of gravity to complete all of the tasks in the game, Gravity Rush will give a very unique experience when it launches on the 12th.

So, there are the top 5 games you shouldn’t miss next month. While we only highlighted 5 titles, there are other games such as Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor, Inversion, and Spec Ops: The Line that will more than deserve your dollars.
