AT&T-carried PS Vita Set to Launch with Host of 26 New Video Games

Japan-based Sony, at a press conference preceding the Tokyo Game Show, has announced 26 game titles that will arrive with the launch of the PlayStation Vita.

The company said that games like Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 and Uncharted: Golden Abyss, which stands out from the rest of the games, will arrive with the new handheld gaming device. However, Metal Gear Solid HD and Street Fighter vs. Tekken will arrive later this year.

The Wi-Fi version of the device will cost around $249, while the AT&T 3G version will be available for $299 (plus data plan). The device will also incorporate Skype, Facebook and Twitter and will arrive in early 2012, according to a CBSNEWS report.

The handheld includes two analog sticks, a 5-inch (130 mm) OLED multi-touch capacitive touchscreen, and supports Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and optionally 3G. The Vita, internally, sports a 4 core ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore processor and a 4 core SGX543MP4 + graphics processing unit. LiveArea is also included as its main user interface, which succeeds the XrossMediaBar. The device also has front and rear VGA cameras.

Here is the list of all the PS Vita games.
