Sony has unveiled its list of launch titles for Japan as the PS VIta hits stores in the land of the rising sun December 17, 2011. Some of the games are obviously there to make up the numbers and make the launch line up look good. Among the games worth mentioning are Sony's own Uncharted 3: Golden Abyss, Ridge Racer from Namco Bandai, and Square enix's new action RPG, Lord of Apocalypse. Additionally, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 will be making an appearance on the new platform, which is sure to slake the thirst of any fighting game enthusiast.
Judging from the PS Vita's launch lineup and the fact that its battery life lasts a decent 3-3.5 hours during gameplay operation, Nintendo is going to have to do a lot to make up for its poor 3DS launch earlier this year.
