Echochrome hitting North American PS3s this Spring

by Jem Alexander { Feb 21st 2008 at 7:00AM }

Originally, Siliconera had reported that the upcoming perplexing puzzle game will be coming to North America sometime this Summer. Now, it seems, the real release date for the downloadable title will be sometime this Spring. Only the PS3 version of the game is guaranteed outside of Japan, however, as the PSP version's fate is still very much undetermined. Japan's PSP version of Echochrome will feature extra levels and features that the PS3 version will not, so we'd be very disappointed not to see these reach the West in some form or another.

When asked whether the extra content could be released for the PS3 version as DLC the Sony PR rep responded that the feature list for the PS3 version had not been announced yet. With Spring swiftly approaching, we'd hope that an announcement regarding the game's features will be coming soon. We're far more likely to pay for the game if it's more than just a demo for a non-existant PSP game.

Even if it doesn't come out for the US, it's not a text heavy game. A purchase of the Japanese version should work just as well.

Yeah but the reason most of us don't buy text heavy games from Japanese stores in the first place is because of currency issues.

I understand... And I know it's still a hassle, but there are workarounds like PS Store cards, and paypal-esque websites that allow you to make purchases in other regions with your credit card by buying credit.

I personally haven't tried either, and unfortunately, I forgot the specific website that a few users recommended to me, but there are people who would go through the hassle for certain games.
