Sunrise moving GPX Cyber Formula games to PSP

Not familiar with the GPX Cyber Formula franchise? Not a problem. It's an old anime and a yearly game in Japan by Sunrise, starting in 2003. Generally, the games released on the PS2, but for this year's title, it's getting moved onto the PSP. Dubbed Shinseiki GPX Cyber Formula VS, it boasts seven tracks, eleven drivers, nineteen vehicles, and one hundred customizable doo-dads to fiddle with. Since it's on PSP, expect some ad-hoc play for some rival racing or partner up for time attack relay shenanigans. We probably won't see this hit outside of Japan, but it's interesting to see developers move from the PS2 onto the PSP instead of the PS3.

I'm kinda getting sick of these Japan-only games news. Nothing against you Nick, of course. It's just that it feels like they're teasing us with the stuff we'll never get.
