Nico Nico Douga Likely To Be Pre-Installed On Playstation Vita [Social Networks]

N

Apart from Foursquare, Twitter, and Skype, Sony is planning to integrate another online service for buyers of their upcoming next-generation handheld gaming system, the Playstation Vita: Nico Nico Douga.

Sony and Dwango apparently inked a deal under which Nico Nico Douga will be one of the pre-installed services on the new device that’s due out in Japan on December (it’s highly included Nico Nico will be included in other markets, too).

Video game news site andriasang has found a job posting (now removed) from Nico Nico operator Dwango, which appears to look for people with experience coding for Sony Playstation devices.

Like andriasang, I am guessing Sony will be making more detailed announcements during the Tokyo Game Show next month.
