Japanese Playstation Store Update

Today out of sheer boredom, and inability to find something decent to post about, I stumbled onto the Japanese Playstation store. I figured it would be pretty interesting to see what is coming out over there to buy. End result: I am pretty damn jealous. But alas I feel that my jealousy [...]

Loco Roco 2 for PSP Screenshots

Loco Roco 2 is currently in development in Japan. Not much is known about what new features the game has, although Sony says more will be revealed at the coming E3 Summit. From the screenshots, it looks one new addition may be underwater levels. Other than that I am sure the game will [...]

PSP Dual Shock Clip

My biggest complaint about most handheld systems is that after a while they take their toll on your wrist. Sony’s (arguably patented) dual shock controller on the other hand causes minimal wrist-fatigue after several hours of play. Since the button layout of the PSP is exactly the same as the dual shock controller, it [...]

Yggdra Union for PSP Official

Atlus revealed their secret today with the announcement that Yggdra Union for the PSP will indeed be receiving an American localization.
The PSP version does feature a few added bonuses that the Game Boy Advance version did not have including (but not limited to):

Complete voice-overs with both Japanese and English dialog
Higher difficulty setting (watch that morale!)
New [...]

June 9th Atlus Has a Secret

Atlus’s website has been updated with this banner as well as a series of cards bordering the site’s content. Rumor has it that the announcement will be for a US release of the Yggdra Union PSP port. This seems like a fair guess to me since cards are an integral part of [...]

Atlus Offers R-Type Incentive

Atlus has announced that with a pre-order of R-Type Command for PSP, gamers will get a free R-9 figurine. Of course this is one of those deals where the bonus is only available while supplies last, and only available at select locations.
If you have your heart set on getting this pre-order bonus, I recommend acting [...]

It turns out that there is a seller on Amazon.com who sells copies of Breath of Fire III for PSP.  They are currently going for $39.99 here.

Rarities: Breath of Fire III for PSP in English

Any owner of a PSP will tell you there are not many decent RPGs for the Playstation portable. Breath of Fire III is an exception, which is probably why Japan decided to port it to the PSP from the Playstation version. The game’s story is the same as the others in the series: a dragon [...]

Dissidia: Final Fantasy

Does anyone out there remember Ehrgeiz?  No?  Well it’s probably for the best.  The only good part of the game was the fact that you could do battle with your friends, by controlling characters from Final Fantasy VII.  It looks like Square-Enix wants to take it a step further, and make a fighting game with nothing [...]

Skype for Sony Playstation Portable in Japan

It looks like Sony is ready to roll out new software for the Sony PSP to work with free Internet calling program Skype:
Special microphones for PSP’s Skype feature will go on sale in Japan on March 19 at 2,500 yen (US$24) each and 4,000 yen (US$39) for two, and software will be upgraded a day [...]
