Worldwide PSP releases for the week of January 4

by Majed Athab { Jan 4th 2009 at 9:55PM }

The industry is still in vacation mode, hence the reason for this lackluster list below. All that's out this week is a budget release of an old Gundam game. January is going to be a slow month; however, expect the latter part to be packed with some heavy titles.

NA Games:

No new releases

EU Games:

No new releases

Asian Games:

Mobile Suit Gundam: Giren no Yabou - Axis no Kyoui (PSP the Best)

The suit mentioned in the article may be real, but that image is not. That is not a new military project--it is a statue build by a wealthy otaku in the boonies of Japan. That thing has been around for at least 8 years or so. It doesn't move, but it does have a cockpit you can sit in (with little detail, unfortunately). Unless he's added to it in recent years, I don't think it had any electronics at all.

Wait, I want to see the original text. Did you actually believe that thing is a military project?! ;-)

Don't worry, Majed, you were just repeating bad info from the article you linked to. Happens all the time.

More pics of that "real" Gundam can be found here:

The industry being in vacation mode doesn't have anything to do with the lack of games following Christmas. Games are produced and released according to a year (or more) cycle leading up to the buying season, though some games do miss November/December and come out early in the following year. The standard production schedule concludes well before the 'vacation mode' so it's not like a couple of weeks off for developers around this time of year is the 'cause' for a lack of games.

Of course, the PSP got next to nothing this season anyway so it stands to reason there'd be a continuation of nothing in January...

I'm fairly certain this list being -about the PSP- is the reason for it being lackluster. Just a hunch. Yes, I know we get a few games this month. Then it's back to the same old same old. 9_9

Is 3 games really "packed'? In 2 weeks we get two RPG ports, Mana Khemia and Star Ocean 2. The week after that we get DJ Max

I admit to looking forward to them (well, not DJ Max, since I tried the demo of one and was hopelessly outmatched), but at the same time, it's a pretty small pack.
