The new PSP game Super Robot Wars A Portable has reached the top of the sales chart in Japan with 102,000 units sold, dethroning the previous champion Metal Gear Solid 4 to second place with 68,000 units sold. Two other PSP games on the chart are Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G and Powerful Pro Portable Baseball 3, with 21,000 and 19,000 units sold, respectively. There is even a PS2 game on the charts -- the dating-sim/hybrid targeted at women called Harukanaru Toki no Naka de 4 in fourth place with 55,000 units sold. Only in Japan, huh?

With the huge drought of games, you can bet a lot more Japanese games will get published for the US.

I hope some publishers decide to experiment with bringing games over. I then hope they succeed.
Some resident evil, devil may cry and dragonball z style games would be great on the psp. I know there are DBZ games, but I think its about time they updated. RE and DMC on the other hand, I would kill for.

@reson8er
i kinda have to disagree with you. i dont think many people would buy a game called "super Robot Wars" and it has mini robots on the front cover. america is cooler than that.

I wonder what exactly is this Super Robots, the image looks quite hot, and if it sold that many units it must scream good.

What? You mean the game? These games are actually quite popular in japan, not to mention addicting.

And yet, we will never see any of those 3 games in the US (maybe MHP2G, just maybe).
That baseball games actually gets released in the US, just not for the PSP (only for the Wii/PS2) under the name "MLB Power Pros"

I'd love an english version of Super Robot Taisen... but I've already accepted that it'll never happen. What with licensing issues and stuff...
The series are certainly superior to other "tactics" games like FFT and Disgaea, IMO, so it's a bummer.
