NIS Europe has announced via press release that Europe will finally be able to get a bite out of the Mana Khemia pie (well it's about time!). The game was originally released for the PS2 in Japan in 2007 - and they already have a sequel too! - with a release in North America just last year.

The PSP port of the first game is also now scheduled for a North American release, and now it's also confirmed for Europe. As it stands, both the original PS2 Mana Khemia: Alchemists of Al Revis and its Mana Khemia: Student Alliance PSP port will be heading out for Europe this year.

This release is in line with NIS Europe's promise to deliver, as the press release says, "several hardcore titles a year and gradually increase its line‐ups. Hardcore gamers in Europe can expect the same level of quality that the North American gamers have been enjoying for years."

More hardcore, eh? This probably seals the deal that Europe will also be getting Prinny, Disgaea 2 Portable, and maybe even X Edge for the PS3 too.
