- Yeah, that's the game.
Phantasy Star Portable 3
is it that game that SEGA will announce that have countdown on their site?
Art looks vaguely similar to '30 Sec Hero' one, I wonder if it's the same artist...
Wow. So 30 Dot Heroes huh?
I guess From Software had a bit more success with PS3 than 360 last year.
Zexen: It's based on FES, but there will be a lot of changes, new scenarios, music, revamp of soc-link stuff, female protagonist, new difficulty modes, and more.
Persona 3 Portable????? Whaaaaaaat?? I hope it's not a port but a full new game, that would rule so much!! So glad I got a PSP!!
Epic pic at cover.
No screens, Rafa. I'm sure they will be released soon enough since the game is scheduled for November 1 release.
Wow lots of stuff for the PSP! No screens for Locoroco Midnight Carnival?
The PSP is getting some decent support it seems.
There's new Basara for Wii. I was surprised by the Super Robo Gakuen score, hopefully there are no fundamental flaws.
Wii needs some 3rd party announcements in Japan. I await TGS.
Wow lot of great stuff! P3 portable FTW!
Finally KH BBS! waiting for any kind of news on this one for ages.
Interesting to see a game being made for the Wii and also PS3... but leaving out the 360 completely. It must be that they do not foresee any profit in making the game on the console. Can't wait for BBS :-)
