We suspect publishers were as surprised as everyone else when Sonyannounced the worldwide PlayStation Vita launch dates at the Web 2.0 Summit.
Two days after that unexpected reveal, Namco Bandai is officially putting that February 22 date on its own launch games: Ridge Racer, Shinobido 2: Revenge of Zen, and the new Katamari game, which has been given the amusing title ofTouch My Katamari for its western release. Of course, all Vita games will be sold digitally, saving you from the nightmare of asking a retail clerk for Touch My Katamari. Namco announced these dates for North America, and Sony hasconfirmed they're accurate for Europe as well.
