If you're a huge fan of the stuff Atlus brings stateside, then you better start saving up for a shopping hurricane this April as three of the games the company was originally supposed to release next month have been pushed back.

Atlus is once again bringing another Japanese PSP game to the US: Ikuze! Gen-san, a PlayStation Portable title from Irem that pits a kind-hearted carpenter against a dastardly construction company.
The game has been rebranded as Hammerin' Hero, probably because "Hammertime"'s already taken. More after the jump.
