Falcom shared specific Japanese release dates today for its two upcoming PSP Ys games. Ys I&II Chronicles will arrive on July 16, followed by a September 17 release for Ys Seven. The games will be priced, respectively, at 5,040 yen and 6,090 yen.
 
In typical Japanese style, the two games will be getting pre-order bonuses. Chronicles will get a soundtrack titled "Ys I&II Best Sound Collection." Included are songs from past Ys and Ys 2 albums as well as music newly prepared for the PSP remake. Seven will include the Ys Music History soundtrack, featuring music from Seven itself and from past Ys titles.
 
Seven includes a second pre-order bonus, something that also manages to hint at more Falcom PSP support in the future. In addition to the soundtrack, the Seven pre-order package includes a 32-page color booklet for Legend of Heroes 7. Falcom has yet to formally announce a platform for the game, but PSP is looking likely.
 
Those wanting to celebrate these two games through wallpaper downloads can access the Seven official site and the Chronicles official site.
 
These dates concern Japan only at the moment.

Sixième épisode, voir septième si on compte Soul Carnival, Bleach 6 s'offre une nouvelle vidéo en attendant sa date de sortie prévue pour le 14 mai prochain au Japon. Comme d'habitude, il faudra s'attendre à plus de personnages, plus de combos, plus de stages et un nouveau mode histoire, et comme d'habitude encore une fois, l'Europe n'y aura probablement jamais droit. C'est dit.

We're not sure why PSP is getting a port of a six year old PS2 game, but it is. Although the Armored Core series has already progressed on to its fourth iteration on current home consoles, PSP will be getting an enhanced version of Armored Core 3, with added bonuses like Ad-Hoc multiplayer.
 
The debut Japanese trailer for the PSP version of Armored Core 3 is quite dramatic, although it's hard to discern the quality of the gameplay from it. We can confirm that there will be robots and explosions -- and those two things usually go hand-in-hand.

We already knew that Tekken 6 would be storming the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 this fall, but today we've learned that the storied fighting franchise is also headed for the PSP.
 
Namco Bandai didn't release many specifics, but we do know that the portable version of the game is set to release alongside the other console iterations and will pack additional stages, content, items, and an ad-hoc multiplayer mode using "original" and "fan favorite characters." The PSP version will also have "Ghost" Infrastructure mode so that a player can upload his or her character data as well as download others' to see how everyone's skills stack up.
 
...

Wait, Namco Bandai wasn't done announcing PSP games. Just an hour after their Tekken 6 announcement, the company also revealed a brand new Soulcalibur game for the handheld. Soulcalibur: Broken Destiny is a PSP-exclusive version of Soulcalibur IV. Gone are the Star Wars bonus characters, but in their stead will be at least one new character: Dampiere.
 
Broken Destiny will feature all the dressings of a console fighter, with arcade, versus and survival modes. New to the PSP version will be a new single-player mode meant for beginners struggling to learn the intricacies of the battle system. It will function, essentially, as an enhanced tutorial mode.
 
The PSP version will also feature new lighting effects that allow players to fight in stages at different times of day. Other gameplay components, such as the critical finish and armor destruction are also supposedly improved. Finally, Broken Destiny will offer Ad-Hoc wireless play, although according to Gamespot, Infrastructure might be a possibility. Expect Soulcalibur to hit your no-longer-defunct PSP this summer.

The beloved, exploding penguins from the popular Disgaea series headline their own over-the-top action adventure. The only twist is, you’ll only be given 1000 lives to complete the game where every hit loses you a life!

1UP: Can we expect characters from Soul Calibur 3 and Soul Calibur 4?
 
NH: We can't disclose everything at this point, but you can expect most of the main characters, as well as new characters. There's even a new character called Dampierre.
 
...
 
1UP: Were there any limitations in porting Soul Calibur to the PSP?
 
NH: On the technical side, there weren't any restrictions in porting the game to the PSP. It was more about the basic ideas and concepts that took more time. We wanted the game to be more accessible for everyone. We wanted everyone to be able to pick up and play the game easily.
 
1UP: Can you talk about your ideas for accessibility?
 
NH: In past Soul Caliburs, it was obvious that beginners couldn't easily get into the game because of the battle system's technical requirements (like guarding against high or low attacks). The team wanted to give everyone an equal chance, so that's why they created a mode where the beginners learn how to play and improve their game. The more they play, the more skills they achieve. That's the basic concept behind Broken Destiny.
 
...

This iteration of SOCOM features 70 weapons and attachments that you can fool with before a mission -- you get two primary weapon slots and can customize each piece with four attachments such as scopes and lasers -- along with flack jackets, grenades, and claymores that you can take into the fray. Inside battle, things move from the typical third-person perspective.
 
There will be four-player multiplayer, but the team wasn't ready to talk about how that would work -- this build was still pre-Alpha, which means it's still really early in the game's lifecycle.

Confirmé récemment pour les consoles PSP et PS2, MotorStorm : Arctic Edge se remontre en une vidéo explicative dans laquelle le directeur du jeu détaille les features que l'on y trouvera. Évidemment, au delà des détails cités par le monsieur en question, ne vous laissez pas abuser par les images "renderisées" qui défilent parfois. Jetez plutôt un œil averti sur les phases de gameplay, qui pointent leurs roues ici et là.
 
Pour s'en convaincre, quelques nouvelles images sont également apparues, à voir également ci-dessous. Le titre supporte jusqu'à 8 joueurs en mode "ad hoc" sans fil, et proposera même des skidoo en plus des véhicules plus classiques. Le site Kotaku a réussi à mettre les mimines dessus, et je ne saurai trop vous recommander les impressions du journaliste en question.
 
Le jeu de course n'a toujours pas de date de sortie précise. Disons, à l'automne prochain a priori.

Arctic Edge maintains the MotorStorm look and feel despite running on lesser hardware.
 
...
 
The game will feature 24 vehicles, three each in eight classes, including the new snow machine and snow cat classes. Some 12 tracks will be present, and each support a mirrored version, allowing you to race in reverse (so some might call it 24 different variations). You'll also find vehicle customization, though it'll simply be for looks as the developer doesn't want players to spend their time building a vehicle that doesn't look the way they want just to get the best performance.
 
Lastly, it's definitely worth noting that the game will indeed support multiplayer action, with up to eight players able to compete via both Ad-Hoc and Infrastructure play on the PSP, while the PS2 take supports split-screen racing. Good times indeed.
 
MotorStorm: Arctic Edge is currently slated for release sometime this fall.
