The successor to the Sony PSP has a lot of expectations and hype surrounding its launch, which has now been confirmed for 2/22/2012, and yes that is a lot of 2's.

The PS Vita will release in a 3G model that is going to be priced at $299.99, as well as a Wi-Fi only model which will retail for $249.99.

No matter which model you choose, you should surely start saving up your cash to pick up some of the high-quality games that are already slated for the U.S. launch.

We have taken a look at the games which are confirmed for the launch of the PS Vita, and ranked them in terms of what we believe will be must-buys for those early adopters of the next-gen handheld.

5. Ridge Racer - Ridge Racer was one of the must-buy releases when the Sony PSP released back in 2004, and there are high expectations for this release on the PS Vita as well. The franchise has consistently delivered very enjoyable arcade-style racing action, making this one of those casual and likely polished launch releases you may not want to pass by.

4. Touch My Katamari - The Katamari franchise has a strong following, and the series has the type of pick-up-and-play style that is really going to lend itself well to the next-gen Sony handheld. Throw in the fact that the hardware lends itself well to the franchise, such as the touch controls, and you have yourself a winner.

3. ModNation Racers: Road Trip - The franchise became a huge hit on the Sony PlayStation 3 and it is going to lead to a Mario Kart type experience on the PS Vita. With a fast-paced single-player experience, as well as the deep online community integrated into the handheld platform, this could steal the show on launch day.

2. Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 - This is one of those franchises that will absolutely draw in the hardcore gamers, and for good reason. Simply stated, gamers who pick up the PS Vita on launch day will likely not leave the store without this game coming with them.

1. Uncharted: Golden Abyss - The Uncharted franchise has grown into one of the most popular Sony has in its arsenal. Previews have shown that the game is beautiful, polished, and poised to be the killer app the PS Vita will need on launch day.
