Ten months after its US debut, XSEED will release Vita action game Sumioni: Demon Arts in Europe on January 16. It'll be released exclusively on the PlayStation Store for €9.99/£7.99.

Sumioni is a side-scroller starring the demon Agura, who has the Okami-like power to pause action and alter the world with a mystical paintbrush. For example, you can draw lines of fire to topple guard towers.

XSEED inks publishing deal for Vita platformer Sumioni: Demon Arts

JC Fletcher — Sat, 17 Dec 2011 15:30:00 EST

XSEED is one of the most doggedly prolific PSP publishers, and it's continuing the trend with the Vita, announcing plans to publish Acquire's Sumioni: Demon Arts this spring in North America.

You don't need us to tell you that! Gawk at the above trailer and see for yourself. Thanks, XSEED, for localizing one of the more interesting Japanese Vita launch games! It's not like we can just buy it from PSN in Japan.
