From the news post:
"The much loved Persona 3 Portable for PSP may finally getting a UK release, if a recently discovered listing on Play.com is to be believed. Going under the full title of Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 Portable, the game was originally released on November 1st 2009 in Japan and then on July 6th 2010 in North America, with no sign of a European release until now. The Play.com listing sets the release date in the UK as 15th April 2011, and will be available as a “Special Collector’s Edition” which is exclusive to PAL territories and includes an exclusive slipcase and inlay, 48 page hardback art book, six art cards and an A3 poster."
Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 Portable has recently been rated for a supposed imminent PC version by Game Management Committee in Korea.
In the years since Hakuoki: Demon of the Fleeting Blossom made its English debut in 2012, otome games have enjoyed a surge of popularity worldwide. The genre went from an unknown to one that received multiple releases on various platforms each year. Sony handhelds have long been a haven for such titles, with people who own a Vita enjoying the fruits of this bevy of releases.
The PlayStation Portable (PSP) was one of the most successful handheld consoles to date, featuring a large roster of games including each and every genre present to date.
Agreed.
Both PSP and DS were the very top of handheld gaming at that time. I never would have foresaw the decline in handheld gaming that we see today. So many companies had PSP titles, KH, FF, MGS, GTA etc A rare time and I don't know if we'll even see that type of support for handheld like we saw back then.
I never played Persona 3 on PSP though, I played it on PS2 and got it again on PS3 when it was on PSN, same with Persona 4, but everyone tells me Persona 4 on Vita is a lot better.
P4 golden on the Vita is excellent and if you have a Vita, it is definitely worth another go around.
I wish the Vita got half the support the psp did. I'm don't mean to complain but I feel it was just shorted. Oh well.
@Fist- Well I have the PSTV and I did want to play Persona 4 again, I might pick up the Vita version.
It sucks Vita didn't get that same type of support, but the market has changed so much. So many phone games its not even funny. Its why when I hear a JRPG announcement, first thing I thinking about is "please don't be mobile" lol
Replace 3rd birthday with peace walker or Dissidia and it will be an excellent list. 3rd birthday is great mechanically but the story is attrocious as a parasite eve sequel.
