Back in April, we unveiled a host of new applications coming to PS Vita, including Wake-up Club, a new interactive way to start your day with other PS Vita owners. Next Tuesday, the application will be available to download for free on the PS Vita PlayStation Store in North America!
Let’s face it: getting up in the morning isn’t something we usually look forward to, but Wake-up Club adds some social fun into the mix to make getting out of bed more bearable. In addition to adding alarm clock functionality to PS Vita for the first time, including the ability to personalize your alarm tone and background theme, Wake-up Club matches 12 randomly selected players who set their alarm clock at the same time into a—you guessed it—wake-up club!
As soon as your alarm goes off, your avatar will begin bouncing around the PS Vita touchscreen. Tapping your avatar lets other players know you’re now awake. Once in the virtual club room, you can see other players’ avatars, as well as who’s awake and who’s still sleeping. Tapping the sleeping players’ avatars will “cheer” them on. If you happen to keep snoozing though, you’ll notice that the rest of the Wake-up Club players will begin appearing on your screen. Swipe them away and tap your avatar to join the rest of the group. Additionally, you can send friend requests and find out more information about each player by tapping their avatar. Make sure to check out your club records to see how many times you’ve managed to wake up within five minutes, how many consecutive successes you’ve managed, and the average time it takes you to wake up.
To get set up with Wake-up Club, access your PS Vita system’s Settings menu, choose Date & Time, then Date & Time Settings. Ensure that Set Automatically is ticked. Then you’re good to go! Be sure to check out Wake-up Club when it launches on the PS Vita PlayStation Store next Tuesday, January 15th. Happy snoozing!
Megaman x theme plz wake me up when app releases
I’ve been looking forward to this app: Here’s my two cents on it, and other aspects of the Vita:
– Don’t make this an app, just include it in the Vita software via a patch. It might not take up much space, and I’d rather it didn’t take up another bubble in the interface.
– I agree with the others. Allow the Vita interface to allow us to group apps, especially so I can group this, Frobisher Says, Treasure Park, Paint Park, and Welcome Park into one section.
– Patch Welcome Park to allow for in-game challenges. There’s some fun mini games with timed challenges that appear on the LiveArea. I’d like to challenge my friends (like MotorStorm RC), since we all have the app.
– Bring trophies to Paint Park and Treasure Park, online multiplayer of some sort to Paint Park, and showcase each Park game (along with Frobisher Says) in an introductory section of the Vita PS Store.
– Can the Vita get the cool panels available in PlayStation All-Stars to use for our profiles? Even half would be great. Better yet, allow Plus users to display our Vita PSN profile panels on our PS3 PSN profiles.
All good feedback. Thanks — I’ll check them all out.
