PixelJunk Monsters may shrink to UMD this June
Import retailer Play-Asia has listed a June release for the upcoming PSP version of PixelJunk Monsters. The handheld version of the popular tower defense game will feature all the content found in the PS3 game ... and then some. Considering the PSP game will be a full UMD release over in Asia, it's going to need a lot of content to justify its non-budget price.
It'll be interesting to see how SCEA decides on distributing the game here in America. echochrome released as a full UMD game in Asia, but released as a PlayStation Network exclusive here. Perhaps a similar solution will be implemented here.

Downloadable or UMD, I'm really anticipating the release of this on PSP. I don't have a PS3 but I heard this was addicting and alot of fun and I'm such a sucker for tower defense games.

It will be pointless considering we already have the PS3 version and you can also play it via remote play..
I just hope is like a brand new game with different worlds and enemies

I want this game on my psp. Put away so many hours on the ps3 version. I would love to have the capability to have this in my pocket at all times. As far a umd, this is gonna be a download only thing. If they're doing it for patapon, they're doing it for this.

This game was awesome on PS3 but I think it lends itself perfectly to play on the go. I can actually visualize myself playing the PSP version more than what I played the PS3 one.

This game was awesome on the PS3 but I think its game design lends itself perfectly for the PSP....I actually see myself playing the PSP version more that the PS3 one. It would be nice if the offer some sort of discount for those of us who bought the original game for PS3...not holding my breath though.

For some reason I can't see the comments...so if I posted my messages twice...sorry for that.

Isn't it going to pirated though? There are probably still going to make money from who wanted to play the game but don't a PS3. Good luck.

My littlest brother just loves PixelJunk Monsters on the PS3, on the other hand his handheld is a DS. Maybe I can get this, and trade my PSP for his DS so I can finally get around to finally playing Chinatown Wars.

In europe we got Echochrome on UMD so hopefully we'll get this on UMD as well.
If they keep release games in the states exclusively on the psn but on umd in the uk I can see the import numbers going up and up
