I just spotted that on the GS website. Time to go set up a pre-order.

Here you go: Hakuoki: Warriors of the Shinsengumi releases on 2013-02-26.

The men of the hit series Hakuoki are back and ready for some action! Hakuoki: Warriors of the Shinsengumi will be available for the PSP system, offering fans cut-‘em-down action, yet staying true to its Hakuoki roots with a powerful story of adventure. Play as Saito, Hijikata or the four other main characters from the Hakuoki series in an alternate storyline and change the fate of the Shinsengumi, or relive the events of Hakuoki: Demon of the Fleeting Blossom. Unlock two characters for use in free play, and use special attacks and deadly strikes to plow through hordes of enemies in this action-packed follow-up to the 2012 hit!

The listing says that it will have a bonus item, but there is no indication what this might be or if it is an Amazon.com exclusive.

(And Ragnarok Tactics was released on November 6th, 2012 for those who are interested.)

Interesting, that Hakuoki game wasn't listed on Allgame, which is the site I use to see all the upcoming releases for all the systems. The PSP lives on.

I read a few months back that NIS America was in the progress of porting Black Rock Shooter: The Game to the US market

There hasn't been an update in a very long time and the last rumors I heard were that it would be a download only.

PSP lives on ...



Release Date: 8/22/2013

"With Valentine’s Day being about romance, Aksys Games today announced that they will be bringing the puzzle-filled romantic visual novel “Sweet Fuse: At Your Side” to North America for the Sony PSP later this year. Developed by the Idea Factory Otomate Studio, “Sweet Fuse: At Your Side” follows Saki Inafune, the niece of game developer Keiji Inafune, who participates in a deadly series of games created by the evil Count Hogstein, in order to save her uncle. Hogstein takes Saki’s uncle and the rest of his new theme park’s management hostage and in order to save them, Saki must take part in an explosive game. “Sweet Fuse: At Your Side” will offer 14 different endings, allowing for over 30 hours of gameplay. Players will have to solve dangerous puzzles and choose from a variety of unique interactions in order to save Saki’s uncle and possibly find love with one of her fellow participants, all of whom are available bachelors."

Wow, that's a ways off, but cool to see there will by at least one more title. Then again, who knows how many have snuck out while I haven't been looking.

[slapdash]

So, was that the last release, or were the others? Heck, were there any in the past 3-6 months at all besides this one?

Class of Heroes 2 has a limited release.
Europe got FIFA 14 and Pro Evolution Soccer 2014.

I think Gaijinworks is talking about doing Class of Heroes 3 on a UMD for the PSP next year.

[Aussie2B]

If we're counting Europe, the UMD version of Elminage Original also came out recently (the only English UMD print run of the game in the world, seeing as the US only got a digital release). And for all of the talk about Class of Heroes 2 being so extremely rare and collectible and all the buyers afraid to open their copies, its print run is actually several times that of Elminage (around 2500 versus Elminage's 300). But screw all the people who just want to sit on a paperweight. I bought both, with full intention to play those UMDs, and have already removed the plastic wrap and browsed the manuals.

But yeah, supposedly we'll be getting Class of Heroes 3 eventually, and possibly more Class of Heroes games or other PSP games (on UMD). While delays and disorganization are the name of the game with Working Designs/Gaijinworks, I'm not getting my hopes up for many more UMD releases before they move on to the Vita or whatever, but with them already working on the localization of CoH3, I think our odds are good on that one.

[bangtango]

Fifa 13, Pro Evolution Soccer 2013, NBA 2K13 and Phineas & Ferb all got released on UMD in the States last fall. Own two of those myself. Haven't seen any US UMD releases since that wave last year. Fifa 14 is only available via download in the US (no UMD coming) and PES 2014 is not getting a US release on UMD.

[atarikurt]

I don't believe Phineas and Ferb was ever released on UMD in the US.

Oh, it exists..............

That is not a US version. Look at the rating on the box, its not a ESRB rating. I ran into this three times in a row trying to buy Crash: Mind Over Mutant. I was always assured it was a US copy but three times I was sent a Euro Greatest Hits copy. I had to wait to find an auction with an actual picture of the box itself before I found a US version.

Class of Heroes 2 has a limited release.
Europe got FIFA 14 and Pro Evolution Soccer 2014.

There was also Sweet Fuse: At Your Side, the visual novel about Keiji Inafune.
(I see it was mentioned before, only confirming it did release.)

[atarikurt]

Indeed it did.

When trying to find out what late releases saw the light of day in the US I use a combination of three things:

Gamefaqs- Find the game, look under release data and it has the release date for all regions.
Gamestop- Search the website, unless it is something like Class of Heroes 2 it will probably show up.
Ebay- Find a listing with a real picture of the game where you can determine the region.
