Sony Adds New Titles To The PSP Roster In Advance Of TGS
From King Of Fighters to Taiko Drum Master
Just as Sony is preparing to unveil the full 100 strong line-up of games currently in development for the PSP, it has issued an updated list of confirmed titles. Amongst these new announcements are a few surprises as well as a few more predictable revelations.
Most intriguingly, there are several games in the list that are usually associated with large, anti-handheld peripherals. Taiko Drum Master and Fishing Rod Collection (judging by the name) are traditionally best enjoyed with the relevant accessories, and similarly Densha De Go (a cult Japanese train-driver simulator!) definitely works best with a bespoke locomotive cockpit. Perhaps when Kutaragi-san spoke of how the PSP would be best enjoyed from the sofa at home, he had possibilities like this in mind?
Back to the more standard selection of new titles, there are some tasty selections. King Of Fighters and Tenchu both have established fan bases, and a Sony MMORPG will surely be worth closer examination. It will also be interesting to see if Atari’s ‘unknown driving action title’ turns out to be a portable rendition of Driv3r or som3thing else entirely.
Expect more PSP action as TGS gets underway later in the week. Here's the new additions to the roster for your perusal in the meantime.

Taiko Drum Master ?!?
Will I be able to plug my drumming peripheral in ? it's a bit pointless without it really.

Many of these titles a lot of folk won't know. A good mix in there, a few rpgs one of which I'm very happy to see is Persona. (I missed the PSone version on import) Persona (or Shin Megami Tensei as it's known) was never released in the uk/eu. Maybe we might get it this time round. DS is also getting a version of Persona I believe.
Beat em ups you have the obvious KoF 3D and Tenchu (if you wanna call it that) along with possible beat em ups Naruto and Dragonball Z. The rest is all sketchy from there for me. What's weird is if Driv3r turns up on it, this is most likely to be japans most binned game. LOL.
Still waiting on those prices, Sony. Go on, make me laugh.

If it was a good price tag then they would have been shouting it out all day. In the light of the DS price i think they have panicked at little.

If they would tell us perhaps the deposits can be put down, wonder how long they are gonna take. TGS should shed some light on it hopefully.
As for Taiko Drum Master, I expect it's a button bashing affair.
