Video game Atari Classics Evolved will be released exclusively for the PlayStation Portable this coming November 15. Just like the title implies, this PSP game is a compilation of Atari 2600 classics repackaged with aesthetic enhancements. Some of the Atari 2600 games included are Asteroids, Battlezone, and Centipede.
This time, we'd like to share with you a gameplay video for Missile Command. The original version was released back in 1990 and the objective is to save save six cities from an onslaught of ballistic missiles. Players can do this by targeting the incoming missiles and by launching a counter attack. The last retail version for Missile Command was released back in 1999 for Windows and PlayStation One. A downloadable version, however, was released on Xbox 360's Xbox Live Arcade service recently. |

Together with the developers and publishers looking to show off their wares at the Tokyo Game Show 2007, SNK Playmore USA has released its list of titles for the said game show. Of course, the makers of The King of Fighters and Metal Slug has a number of titles lined up for this year's show, ranging from retro games for Xbox Live Arcade and Wii's Virtual Console to new ones for the consoles and handhelds. And since SNK Playmore is still one of the coin-op kings, it also lists some titles coming to an arcade near you. Anyway, here's the list:
We're pleased to once again be bringing fans more of the quality fighting and great arcade games they've come to expect from us and with the addition of a number of downloadable console titles, SNK aficionados will have even more options available to them. Cool eh? Better heat up your Wiis and 360s, fighting games are on their way. |

Sega
fans in the know are shaking their legs in anticipation for this year's
Tokyo Game Show, and they have a pretty good reason why. Korean website
Ruliweb dished out what is supposedly Sega's TGS 2007 lineup which
seems to be more of a Sega fan wishlist.Said to have cost US$ 70 million, Shenmue and its sequel easily became the biggest and most expensive series at the time. No thanks to the Dreamcast's early demise, many have missed the epic tale of Ryo in his quest to avenge his father. Still, Yu Suzuki's masterpiece created a following of zealous fans. Rumors have come and gone, and all hope is almost lost, but the list posted Shenmue 3 for the Xbox 360. Other noteworthy titles coming from the classic archives include Fighters Megamix 2 and Virtua Fighter Kids 2. Some Dreamcast hits are also said to make a return, like ChuChu Rocket!, Skies of Arcadia 2, and Jet Set Radio Next. Before this blogger throws fits, we'll have to say that the list is yet to be confirmed. Down to the rumor mill we go, but our ears are open for any official word. Find the list after the jump! |

Those who love getting some retro action on their PSPs will no doubt get pretty excited if this news post turns out to be true. See, video game rental company Gamefly currently has Atari Classics listed for the Sony PlayStation Portable handheld system.Atari has rolled out quite a few of these retro collections for various video game platforms, but a PSP collection has yet to be released. The latest handheld iteration was for the Nintendo DS. If this collection for the PSP becomes a reality, hopefully it will include the enhanced remakes for the Xbox Live Arcade. An official announcement for Atari Classics for the PSP has yet to be made, so keep checking back here on QJ.NET for confirmation. |

It should be remembered that LucasArts sealed the fate of rhythm-based video game title Traxion earlier this year when it announced that it will no longer be publishing the title. It felt like the decision was not appreciated by Kuju Entertainment (who's now changed their name to Zoe Mode) as the developer severed its publishing agreement with LucasArts.
Today, Zoe Mode head Ed Daly mentioned that they are still considering pushing through with the project and that they may even market Traxion as a PSP and an iPod game. Daly commented, The terms of the deal with LucasArts are still confidential, so I can't comment on the details - but we have retained the rights to the IP and we're now looking at what we can do with the IP and the technology and what it's potential is. There's a long history of games that have been canned and came back as great proposition. However, Ed Daly also shared that their studio is busy at the moment with other projects such as SingStar and EyeToy titles for Sony as well as unannounced next-gen titles. He added that when they find the time and the manpower, Traxion might even go next-gen, When the teams free up the idea might find place on next-gen formats, or mobile phones or even iPods - there's plenty of use for the tech, but we just need to figure out what that will be and then build the resource so we can take the next step with it. On a related matter, Ed Daly also revealed that Zoe Mode will be coming up with another music-puzzle game that will be released on the PlayStation Network (PSN) and/or Xbox Live Arcade (XBLA). The concept is different in such a way that the game will be controlling the music instead of the other way around. He shared then, It's interesting as there is no longer that one straightforward route to market and we're able to think that maybe we are better off investing a bit more in the self-publishing route. There are only a finite number of companies or publishers willing to invest so certain games we aren't always going to chase a traditional publishing deal for them. |
