Unless anime production company Gainax or Sony decided to bring this title to Western shores, this may be the only time Evangelion fans outside Japan will get to see how video game Secret of Evangelion looks and even feels like. In case you don't know, the title has already been released there back on June 28.

The video clip below shows one of the most vital parts of the title which is story building. We really couldn't understand a thing (since it's in Japanese) but it seems like part of the gameplay involves interacting with a lot of characters. Quite honestly, we were hoping to see some mecha action or even the beautiful Ayanami Rei herself.

Oh well, we guess this is better than nothing. We still have our fingers crossed though, wishing for Secret of Evangelion to have an English version.

If you're an Evangelion fan, would it matter if the content you're viewing would be in English or Japanese? Well, in this case, you wouldn't have a choice, now would you? The Japanese site for Secret of Evangelion (PSP, PS2) is up and running, connected to the NERV systems, and all that.

Gainax and Cyber Front's title is set up for a June 28 release in Japan, and while everyone is suspended in animation for some confirmation of a Western version, the site allows us see what we would be missing. You can check out some character profiles and other screenshots from the game. There's also a rather interestingly appealing "Special" section: sketches of Rei and Asuka looking cute and hentai-y.

Another Japan-only anime-based game is getting ready for launch, and this one deals with Gainax's Neon Genesis Evangelion franchise. The game by Cyber Front is titled Secret of Evangelion Portable - a PSP port of the Secret of Evangelion adventure game previously released to the Sony PlayStation 2 (PS2).

Details are a bit sketchy at this point, though PSP Hyper reports that compared to its PS2 counterpart, the PSP version will carry additional CG event scenes, and extra quizzes and mini-games which enable players to unlock more Eva-related art. Translation - more Ayanami pics, Yay! Of course, there's also Asuka...

Japan's Rakuten online store dates the game for a June 28 release for this year, at an estimated price of ¥ 4,080 (US$ 34). Fellow anime/manga fans, set your calendars, and remember to bookmark Play-Asia for this upcoming release... Shanghai-ing a friend proficient in Nihongo might help too.
