TGS 08: Phantasy Star Portable coming to US fo' sho'

Sega of America quietly told reporters at TGS that their "secret PSP game" was in fact, a localized version of Phantasy Star Portable -- a fact made not-so-secret when Kotaku ran their story today. It's true: PSP is coming to the PSP. Phantasy Star features the same addictive Ad-Hoc multiplayer that made Monster Hunter such a hit amongst Japanese gamers -- and it looks pretty, to boot.

Hopefully, this early announcement will appease the American masses that are currently experiencing a PSP games drought. You see? Games are coming. We swear.

[Thanks, Ben!]

Kids who are too young to have played the DC Phantasy Star Online (to say nothing of the Genesis versions) freak me out.

You can usually rely on Sega to localize their games to the US market. If only they had the Bleach license on the PSP too as they do on the DS, damn it, and they'd bring it over for sure...
