Enter XSEED Games' Corpse Party, a retro SNES-style title featuring old school visuals and gameplay. It's something of a step away from the PSP's original intent of enabling gamers to experience graphically-intense games on-the-go and, at first glance, isn't something you would expect from the aging handheld.

"The touch screen is something we needed to make sure the PS Vita could run as many games and apps as possible, while allowing us to easily navigate in the menus like we do on the iPhone or Android devices. Most of all, the rear touchpad is very intriguing and sexy. We will have to see what it can do in the future other than the same Uncharted video we saw. And no, I am not talking about a Ron Jeremy game you pervert!"
