The awfully embarrassing Spike TV Video Game Awards aired this weekend, complete with a full set of announcements to actually get people to care. Hideo Kojima appeared on stage at the very end of the show in order to reveal new information about the long-awaited Metal Gear spinoff game, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. That's right, the subtitle is revengeance. All jokes aside, the game looks really good, and it's being developed by Platinum Games, the geniuses behind Bayonetta and Vanquish.

Hideo Kojima's highly anticipated Metal Gear Solid HD Collection for the PS3 will also be released on the Vita! During last night's Sony Entertainment press conference, Kojima announced that the game will be on both consoles, with his new 'transfarring' feature enabled, meaning you will be able to use your saves on both systems. These versions will be identical, and will include Metal Gear Solid 2, Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence (with Metal Gear 1 and 2) and Peace Walker.
In addition to this news, Sony has also announced that most downloadable PSP titles will be compatible with the Vita. These games will also support the second analog stick included on the new console. Sony is also considering a way for UMD owners to transfer their games onto the Vita.
Speculation about the Nintendo 3DS turned to confirmation on June 15th, when the Nintendo 3DS system was officially unveiled at this year's E3 Expo.
