In case that you were wondering, the demo for Resident Evil: Revelations is available on the Nintendo eShop. This game is coming to Japan on January 26, 2012 and it will become available in North America on February 7, 2012. Download the demo and check it out if you have a Nintendo DS as the storyline is set between the timeline of Resident Evil 4 and 5.

The Nintendo 3DS will be getting its first paid downloadable content with the release of the next Fire Emblem game, reports Siliconera, citing Nikkei. The DLC in question is reportedly an “extra game item” that will be sold in March.

Fire Emblem was announced earlier this year during a Nintendo press conference, and according to the game’s Japanese trailer at the time (as seen above), it will be released sometime next year.

There appears to be some technical problems with the newly-released PlayStation Vita in Japan.

As Shacknews and Kotaku report, some users of Sony’s gaming handheld, which went on sale in Japan on Saturday, are experiencing freezing issues and unresponsive touchscreens. Others reportedly can’t even boot up their Vitas, while one owner apparently has a stained screen.

Some of the freezing issues reportedly occur when installing a system update or when playing games like Dynasty Warriors Next (Shin Sangoku Musou Next). Sony’s Vita help page advises to hold down the power button to resolve this.

It’s uncertain how widespread these issues are, or if they’re simply due to user error, but hopefully there won’t be any problems when the Vita launches in the West on February 2012.

There is no doubt that there will be an interestingly huge list of games coming to the Playstation Vita, but what would make these games enjoyable is the use of the touch technology in the handheld. With Supremacy MMA: Unrestricted you will get the choice to play the way you want with refined, amped up gameplay and controls as well as new locations. Below are more details on what you can expect.

• PlayStation Vita Features – Players can choose how they want to control their game –using the touch-control system or traditional controls.  They can also battle it out with other PS Vita players online or via local multiplayer and use the system’s camera to personalize the experience.

• More Fighters – Gamers choose from an extended roster of real fighters including PS Vita exclusives Jason Yee and Novell Bell aka “The Black Taoist,” Shane Del Rosario and Bao Quach, formerly available via download only, and former UFC champion Jens Pulver, French K1 kickboxing champ Jerome Le Banner, Muay Thai legend Malaipet and female fighters Felice Herrig and Michele Gutierrez.

• Fight With Style – Players encounter numerous fighters and individual moves, counters, stances and attacks, including PS Vita exclusives Jeet Kun Do and San Shou as well as kick boxing, Muay Thay, wrestling, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and more.  Variety is complimented with intuitive, easy to use, hard to master mechanics.

• Location is Everything - Fans battle it out in many environments such as PS Vita exclusive locations Shaolin Temple, junkyard, military base and underground parking garage.

Usually we get earlier released dates here in the states, but if you live in Japan chances are that you will get to play on the upcoming Playstation Vita handheld. In the Tokyo Game Show it was revealed the release date for Japan is December 17, 2011 only just a few days from Christmas. If you can remember, the PSP was released about 3 to 4 months earlier in Japan, which indicates that this may happen with the Vita. In our opinion a 23rd of December this year will make more sales being that it’s a time where everybody buys.
