MidBoss has cancelled the PS Vita port for 2064: Read Only Memories.
The developer noted they “tried and tried and tried to get the game to run on PS Vita,” noting that “the way we built the original engine was just not made for the amount of memory the system has.” The elaborated a bit more:
“As huge fans of Danganronpa and the 999 series, we really understand the value and potential of PS Vita and hoped and spent a lot of money and time trying to get this to work, but it just is not meant to be. We are pretty crushed over here too … In the future, we’ll make sure the build our games knowing the limitations of the platforms we’re aiming for before making any assumptions if we’ll actually be able to execute.”
The game’s Xbox One and Nintendo Switch versions are roughly 95% complete and 85% complete, respectively. The iOS and Android versions are planned for a summer 2018 release, with a discounted price.
Here’s a rundown on the game:
