Lemmings Touch announced for Vita

While, by and large, being English doesn't cause problems working for an American site, every so often I'll get overly excited by a game from ye oldene dayes and people simply mutter "I think I remember that." Lemmings! Lemmings you guys! Lemmings is coming to Vita in Lemmings Touch!

While, by and large, being English doesn't cause problems working for an American site, every so often I'll be overly excited by a game from ye oldene dayes and people simply mutter "I think I remember that." Lemmings! Lemmings you guys! Lemmings is coming to Vita in Lemmings Touch! Lemmings, if you missed it, is a puzzle-platformer played with dozens of furry little fools who'll idly mill about and fall to their deaths if you don't give them a role--digging, say, or parachuting, or standing still. The series was created by DMA Design, which later became Rockstar North and gave the world Grand Theft Auto. A long history of mass-murder, that studio. It hasn't made Lemmings games in years, though. Lemmings Touch, specifically, is expanded version of the Lemmings game on PlayStation Mobile, made by d3t. The announcement teases new objects like cannons and trampolines, new environments, a new HUD, and other shiny newness.

  Why is Lemmings not on everything? PC (via Steam), consoles, iPad, Android tablets, handhelds gaming thingies, everything!

    It's Sony right? They got the rights and held onto it for the longest time and did nothing with it.

  Oh, so many squandered hours spent trying to get the maximum number of lemmings safely out of each level. So many levels nuked in frustration!
  
  Spirits (http://www.shacknews.com/game/spirits) is a nice, pleasant update to the concept, but I do miss the good-natured brutality which was a hallmark of the Lemmings games.
  
  Maybe they'll revamp Lemmings Paintball next!

  All I ever did was try to make overally complicated ways to kill themselves instead of actually finishing the levels.
