Mana Khemia gets PSP port

by Majed Athab { Mar 18th 2008 at 2:00PM }

It looks like PS2 RPG Mana Khemia is getting ported to the PSP after all. Following speculation based off a retail listing at Play-Asia, PSP Hyper suspected that the title would be heading to the portable system. Today, a scan from this week's Famitsu (pictured above) pretty much confirms those suspicions to be correct.

According to Jeux-France, the port will have additional content such as new bosses and an all new co-op mode for two players. The title is slated for a Japanese release sometime in Q3 2008. While a North American announcement will be far off at best, NA gamers can get a taste of Mana Khemia on the PS2 once it hits retail shelves on March 31.

I have the ps2 version preordered. Wonder if I should cancel and wait or keep it and just buy it for psp when it's out. Hopefully they fix some ps2 problem [if there is any]

All these games being released in Japan is making me crazy! Bring some of these over to the US, dammit! With almost 50% more PSPs over here, it's a no brainer to try and get these things out ASAP.

you're right strike. I do have it preordered. Mana Khemia is a love or hate thing. Fans will definitely enjoy it newcomers may not enjoy it as much but it's definitely a good game to play. BTW. Mana Khemia 2 for ps2 is due out sometimes this year for Japan.

Well I can't figure out much from that mag scan, but if it's a traditional RPG (No more SRPGs please) ... it may be a welcome addition to the PSP library. Thing is, I doubt it'll ever get a US release =( ... There are great RPGs out there that never made it across Japan, such as Rezel Cross, Magna Carta portable and Kingdom of Paradise 2.
