Disappointed to hear that Grand Knights History was cancelled... that was like the last PSP game coming out I had interest in.
Also regarding the low reviews for Phantom Breaker... that seems like one of those games that isn't aimed at the mainstream reviewers. Its full of moe and made for the otaku. Hyperdimension Neptunia also got really bad reviews from them and I loved it, so I'm not gonna be dissuaded. |

Kinda odd Phantom Breaker is 360 only. You'd think a game like that would show up on the otaku-favored PS3.

Said digital release will also be stripped of its original Japanese voice acting. Yup, the English version will non-voiced while the Japanese version was voiced. Good move, Vic.

I spent a good majority of the weekend playing through Cherry Tree High and enjoyed it. For a 5 hour game with a fair amount of dialogue, I can only imagine how fun/frustrating it was to localize and coming up with all of the in-jokes. There were a couple of little quality mishaps such as names not matching certain characters during events but it wasn't all that bad.
Aside from that, I'm looking forward to Fighting Fairy, or whatever it ends up being called. I enjoy fighting games so beating up monsters and bouncing them off walls or other foes sounds fun in my book. As for Phantom Break, I'm extremely skeptical. Small roster with unimpressive characters and bare-bones fighting gameplay doesn't quite stack up with all of the other options available for that price point. I'd be willing to give it a shot to see if it turns my perception around, but its going to take a lot for that to happen. |

Not having a PSP, I pledged at the highest level that didn't include a download; alas, it didn't work out. I kind of wonder if being on PSP was an albatross around this project's neck. PSP has always been second (a distant second?) to Nintendo in US portable gaming, and with the Vita now available, PSP is officially "last generation". Top it off with a lot of us moving to iPhone/iPad/etc. as our portable gaming platform, and the idea of a deluxe JRPG for PSP starts to look like a niche within a niche. Still, it's a shame, and I wish the guys well. |

Kickstarter was going to pay for royalities to use the Japanese voices, but since that's not happening, we end up with no voices. |

No, PB is simply a bad and boring fighter. If you eant a good anime fighter, go buy BlazBlue. You want a good anime fighter with plenty of moe, go buy Arcana Heart 3. |

Boring to you, but who cares, I like my fighters, and that's that (at least this time they're releasing it with no delay), pretty much this weeks X Button is just a hit or miss kind of thing. |

I really like Urban Champion. Of course it won't look great next to Mario, but you've got to compare it to things like Pac-Man or Dig Dug.

The best fighter released in the last month is Skullgirls which is surprisingly good! Very robust fighting engine, fast, and there is a character in the short 8-character line-up for everyone there.
My main problem was the "fast" part since most fighting games today are fairly slow-paced. Skullgirls moves at about half Turbo speed (4 out of 8 stars on SSSF2Turbo). There's another fighter download or two coming fairly soon in addition to the Persona 4 fighting game and Aquaparrappa/pazza(sp) (PS3-only import). Darkstalkers 4 will either be late this year, middle next year, or maybe even a PS4/XBox 720 game. (At any rate the new systems will probably launch late 2013... I don't count the Wii U as next gen...) I just hope we don't get so much crap that the fighting game renaissance collapses like it did over 10 years ago... It's not like that happens with game genres, right?

atlus still has growlanser coming out i will be getting it to show my support that the psp is still loved.. even if I am only one fan
Maybe for western gamers but the psp is still doing quite well in Japan and is still getting games developed for it right and left "no matter if they are visual novel tie ins or not to tv anime that air" I will openly admit to loving my ipodtouch however there is problem with it.. it's a generation 3 and most games are not going to work on it anymore. The psp came out in 2005 and all of the games still work for it no matter what, until apple/android or other tablets can fix this issue I will stick with a handheld I will only need to buy once ever 8 years. |

I gotta ask about that Cherry Hill game. Is it just some cheap flash game (thats what some of the screenshots look like), or is it actually good?

I haven't touched Cherry Hill personally, but I have a friend who likes it.

Which perfectly explains why there would be PSP JRPGs to license, but not enough western fans to support a deluxe release. |
