When Sony announced the PlayStation Vita a little under two years ago at E3 2011, gamers were electric with excitement over the first handheld that seemed to be able to truly match the experience of home console gaming. 

Fast forward to just past the first anniversary of the PS Vita where things are looking very grim. Sony seems to have all but given up on saving their powerful game machine, instead opting to focus their efforts on the upcoming PS4, while surrendering the portable market to Nintendo’s 3DS.

Now, I know what you’re thinking, but I’m not here to recite every failure of the Vita. I’d rather talk gamers out of the worst possible use of their precious dollars in gaming currently.

Announced during IGN’s IPL 5, head of Team Ninja Yosuke Hayashi unveiled that a PS Vita version of DOA 5 would be coming early next year.

The new game will be titled Dead or Alive 5 Plus and will be the second foray for the main series on portable consoles after a very good showing with Dead or Alive Dimensions on the 3DS (find our review of it here). DOA 5 Plus will apparently include new features not in the original release, although none were announced at the time.

Also mentioned was an update to the PS3 and 360 versions of Dead or Alive 5, which should be coming in the near future.
