Sony has announced PlayStation Vita TV, a brand new mini-console of sorts that'll allow users to play Vita games on their TV using a small device.

Sony Computer Entertainment International president and group CEO Andrew House came on stage at the end of today's Sony Computer Entertainment Japan Asia pre-TGS press conference to unveil the device, which will come with a DualShock 3 and an 8Gb Memory Card.

Also including a slot for users to put in their game cards bought at retail, PS Vita TV will allow players to also play PlayStation 4 games via Remote Play. Vita and PS4's Remote Play capabillities were recently shown during the company's gamescom press conference with a demo of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag.
