Macross Ace Frontier has been announced as a new mecha title for the PSP. Developed by Art Dink and published by Namco Bandai, the title is aiming for a Fall 2008 release in Japan. The game will include mechs from Macross, Macross Plus, and Macross 7.
Currently, the game is 60 percent complete; glad to hear Art Dink is going to work their butts off to pull off that remaining 40 percent in time for autumn. Unlike some other games and dev teams ... we're looking at you Dissidia! Anyway, check out what the game looks like over at Jeux-France.

Theres been a huge burst of psp news lately, its hard to keep up, I'm getting dizzy @[email protected]
Are Square Enix takin their time with Dissidia and Birth By Sleep? I thought they were constantly working on it, while trying to keep most of it a secret. Lazy Devs!
Another Mech game definitely won't hurt the psp, so bring it on dudes, bring it on!

I doubt the macross ace froniter game(which if I had to guess on the title and the Valkrye shown, seems to be based on the new anime called Macross Froniter; I am suprised joystiq did not mention the anime) would come out in the states because of licensin'.
No macross game has ever came to the states because of Harmony gold (the ones who owns the rights to robotech); they arent too happy havin any macross products bein released in the states unless they get the rights.
The only games that we americans gotten to play that were close are the robotech games, which are made by game companies in the western part of the world.
Seein how characters from macross 7 and prb macross zero, it is unlikely unless HG gets the license for this game and probably change it to a robotech game.
Lastly, MAcross F is an awsome anime series!!

Dissidia and Kingdom Hearts will surely get released here, but this Macross game... won't.
That's a bummer, I love the original series.

Doubt that this'll be coming state side. The last attempt to bring a true Macross game over was Macross VF-X2 and that got squashed due to licensing. Can't wait till this comes out though. Will be my first imported game for my psp.
