Played around with Toukiden: Age of Demons on Vita for a bit when my wife was in surgery. I like it so far, but I haven't really done anything past the first few stages. Really liking the chain and sickle. The katana and knives are pretty cool, too. Gauntlets seem like a weapon that would be frustrating at first, but rewarding once you master them.
I went back and played Journey to Silius...didn't get any farther than the level 4 boss. Limited continues are starting to become a pet peeve of mine. Seems like such an artificial way to increase difficulty. I really don't like to cheat under normal circumstances, but I'm considering doing an infinite lives code for both this and Blaster Master. I can reach the final stage of Blaster Master before running out of continues, so I'd like to beat it fair and square, but I don't want to take all that time playing through the stages again, only to come up short.
Edit: Ok, now I'm really close to beating Journey to Silius fair-and-square, getting to the spaceship on the final level before I ran out of continues. Didn't have to continue until the final level, woohoo! I guess I'll just keep at it until I get it.
Whenever I do go back to play Blaster Master, I'm probably going to use infinite lives, though. I hate the thought of playing a game that long, only to run out of continues. Silius is pretty short by comparison.
