Wario Ware-styled games seem to be all the rage these days. We had a look at WTF a few days ago, and although HOT PXL also uses an all-capitalized abbreviated title, it has an interesting feature set that may help distinguish it from its competitor. Firstly, it has a 150 game off the bat, and is one of the few games that takes advantage of one of PSP's greatest features: downloadable levels. Atari plans on making at least fifty available to download. In addition, Atari is going to leverage the weight of its incredible catalog of games, and will bring out some quick retro remakes of their classic titles.
Not only does HOT PXL feature an incredible breadth of game content, but it appears like it will feature tons of multimedia content as well. In addition to an original licensed soundtrack, the game will feature videos, and some kind of podcasting ability. I'm not exactly sure what that means, but it appears like this game will finally utilize all of PSP's unique capabilities. Unfortunately, the game won't be available until next February, so WTF may have to satiate you until then.

That's odd, Gamespot still lists HOT PXL as Q4 2006. It also said "Holiday Season 2006" in the trailer. Also, in the amazon link, the site had it listed as a Nintendo DS game.

Hey that looks pretty cool. I can't wait to see Animal Crossing, Mario Kart, zelda, and super smash brothers like games on sony consoles.
Please don't go out of business Sony, not until after the above releases!

Well there are tons of Mario Kart clones. Animal Crossing is widely regarded as a watered down version of the sims. Beyond Good and Evil was widely regarded as what Wind Waker should've been like. And as for Super Smash Brothers, nothing can top that. You're stuck going to Nintendo for your fix.
