It’s hard t' believe Sony be just weeks away from launching it be next-generation portable in Japan, 'n only months before the same thing happens everywhere else.

More details about Vita's initial offerings be coming out, including what we’ll be playing day one. The European branch a the PlayStation Blog has announced it be launch lineup, 'n I’m waiting for word that we can expect something similar over here.

• Uncharted: Golden Abyss
• WipEout 2048
• Reality Fighters
• Little Deviants
• ModNation Racers: Road voyage
• Everybody’s Golf
• Escape Plan
• Gravity Rush
• Hustle Kings
• MotorStorm RC
• Top Darts
• Super StarDust Delta

Sony also announced two new first-party games, Unit 13 'n MotorStorm RC, the latter available on both PlayStation 3 'n Vita. The coolest hook for MotorStorm RC be that if ye purchase the Vita version, ye gain access t' the PS3 version--'n vice versa. Such a stance be commendable, 'n let’s hope that’s the booty standard for Sony’s games going forward!

It be also revealed that Flickr will be built-in t' Vita, alongside Twitter, Facebook 'n FourSquare.

Vita launches in Japan on December 17, 'n February 22 almost everywhere else.
