Hi to all you Playstation.Blog readers! My name is Jamie, I’m one of the co-owners of, and I’m very excited to announce Lemmings Touch on the PS Vita.It’s fantastic to finally be able to talk about Lemmings Touch. D3t has been working on the franchise since the PlayStation Mobile version, which we were extremely happy with. This looks nice. Lemmings was probably my most played game on my old Amiga 500.To me the lemmings will always be those cute little, exploding pixel guys.
Check out the E3 2014 trailer for Lemmings Touch. PSA: February's Free PlayStation Plus Games Now Available on PS4, PS3, and Vita Six more free games now available for Plus subscribers.
It’s incredible how much life and articulation they managed to pack into those small sprites. But with that being said, these new guys look alright to me.Any chance of packing the original game in with this one? I’d absolutely love to play the original on my Vita! (I’d even buy it separately).I hope Lemmings Touch manages to be a worthwhile game in the eyes of old fans – I hope it turns out that way.

Lemmings on the Amiga was an example of a perfect game. The graphics were sublime – the resolution of the era just enough to convey personality into the Lemmings, while not being so busy to be distracting. The mouse was the perfect control scheme, with the Amiga being one of the first computers where mice were standard – it allowed quick and accurate selection that no other control scheme for for a Lemmings game has ever been able to replicate. The music was terrific – wonderful, catchy renditions of well known tunes. The level design and the selection of Lemming abilities was perfectly judged.Every subsequent version of Lemmings has moved away from this masterpiece (with the possible exception of “Oh No! More Lemmings” which was just a level pack which didn’t tinker with the original formula).
All sequels were inferior copies. A new version of Lemmings is a bit like taking a photocopy of the Mona Lisa, running it through the fax a few times, then proudly presenting it as something.

A new version of Lemmings is a bit like taking a photocopy of the Mona Lisa, running it through the fax a few times, then proudly presenting it as something new. I loved the original Amiga Lemmings games, but I wasn’t able to play the PS3 version nor the PSMobile version due to horrendously bad music.The PS3 game used the classic Amiga tunes from the original, but for some reason, the melody was almost half an octave out of tune compared to everything else. It was like nails on a blackboard to me and needless to say, it ruined the game (well, the demo at least, I didn’t buy the game after hearing that monstrosity).Then I downloaded the PSMobile version, which gives us the classic levels and therefore I assumed the classic tunes. For some bizarre reason, it was decided to forgo the classic tunes entirely and replaces them with some awful and forgettable generic crap, so once again, despite everything else, the game was ruined.
And yes, the music IS that important!I’m not opposed to new compositions as long as they’re decent – the Amiga sequels always had good music and even Lemmings 3D on the PS1 had great music – but the recen.

This issue is a absolute deal breaker to me.
