It's been a long time coming, but the PSP (along with the PS2 and the Wii) are
finally getting their very own
Speed Racer videogame! No, this game isn't based on the old animated series, but on the new Wachowski brothers film, so right away you know it's going to be really, really ... well, it's too early to say, but we don't have high hopes. Still, we've love to see a Mach 5 vs. Racer X race, since they never ended appropriately in the animated series (because Racer X was actually Speed's long lost brother, who ran away from home years ago ... which they told you every time you saw the character).
The game is going to sport characters from the movie in their respective vehicles, mimicking their combative racing style. Film producer Joel Silver gushed about the game: "
We are very excited about this natural extension from the Speed Racer film to the videogame. Larry and Andy are videogame fans themselves, so they believe that an interactive game is a key component to the entire Speed Racer experience." Let's hope it isn't a total letdown, or we'll just dream about racing the giant purple train race car like in the old show.

Wachowski big game fans? I guess that explains how wonderful Enter The Matrix turned out.
