Welcome to the King of Iron Fist Tournament (Part 1).

It’s never nice to hear that a piece of hardware is no more, but something tells me that the PSPGo won’t exactly have many people mourning it’s demise.

R.I.P PSPGo…

Square-Enix have formally announced Tactics OGRE: Let us cling together. The title, a PSP exclusive is a reworking of the original game from the ground up

Patapon 3 is real. It will release this autumn for Sony’s PSP. Check out the game’s debut E3 trailer below. It dosen’t exactly show any gameplay or anything but we’re loving the rocking dramatic soundtrack. PA TA PA TA PON

Sony just sent us over the details on their fantastic ‘Buy a PSPGo and get 10 free games offer’. The offer starts June 9th and ends September 30th. The full list of free games are below. This offer sure is appealing. Hopefully this shifts a few more PSPGo’s. Here’s the PR from Sony.

Get it while it’s hot!

Hideo Kojima revealed yesterday via Famitsu that Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker that the game will include Bosses from the Monster Hunter Franchise. Famitsu Online is carrying the first images of this unqiue collaboration and we have some of them below. To view every image go here. Enjoy.

That’s right! Hideo said that there was some big Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker news on the way and he wasn’t lying. In a suprising and unquie fusion of franchises, Peace Walker will include bosses from Capcom’s PSP mega popular ‘Monster Hunter’ franchise. Exact details are still pretty sketchy at the moment but the latest edition of Famitsu does confirm the gaming crossover. Were not exactly sure what to make of this but one things for sure, Peace Walker was always going to shift alot of new PSPs in the east and now that it has jumped into bed with the Monster Hunter franchise, expect a hell of alot more PSPs and actual copies of Peace Walker to fly off the shelves. Later today, Koima Productions will host a game completion celebratory dinner and a pree conference. Expect to learn more from this. We will keep you posted.

Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker is not that far away from being unleased in the East and during the press conference/completion ceremony to be held this Wednesday, Hideo Kojima is prepping what he is calling a ‘big’ annonucement.

He tweeted the following yesterday:

“On Wednesday, there will be a big Peace Walker announcement. I don’t think you can understand the enjoyment of Peace Walker until you’ve played it, but I believe you’ll feel a hint of sorts about ‘where is it a new Metal?’.”

New Metal? Big Announcement? Hideo just loves to tease us. He has it down to a fine art. The game is out on June 12th here in Europe.

Metal Gear fans, im sorry to tell you that Konami have delayed Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker in Europe. Originally set for a May 28th release, the game will now appear some three weeks later on June 18th. The reason for the delay is not yet known. The news comes to us from CVG. This is so disappointing. Lets hope theres no other hiccups along the way for Kojima Productions.

Not content with just giving you a game full of Kasumi running around with barely anything on, Tecmo want you to have the game and an actually cast figure of Kasumi with barely anything on too. Introducing the Dead or Alive Paradise PSP Limited Edition. Along with an actual copy of the game, this edition comes with;

• Kasumi figure
• DOA Secret Picture Collection
• Secret Live Recorded Voice & Soundtrack CD

So who else will be preordering this all of a sudden when we get a western release date?!

Let’s face it; the PSPGo hasn’t exactly taken the hardware by storm. With many retailers casting the hardware aside before it’s actual launch and with the original UMD PSP selling better than they ever have (No.1 hardware in Japan last three weeks in part due to Valkyria Chronicles 2), it appears that Sony’s UMD-less PSPGo never really had a chance. However, if Sony has learning anything from the less couple of years its that it ain’t over til its over.

Gamervision are today reporting that Sony is readying a PSPGo ‘relaunch’. This ‘relaunch’ will come in the form of a marketing blitz and wait for it…………..a price drop. This could be what the PSPGo needs. Look what the price drop did for the PS3. Let’s hope Gamervision has this one right. The PSPGo is actually quite an impressive piece of kit. It deserves to be doing better.

MCV has published an advert which for a Little Big Planet Accessory Kit which is compatible with PSP-4000. What’s a PSP-4000? Such a PSP doesn’t exist! Is a PSP-4000 model in the works? December’s officially UK Playstation Magazine actually published a small rumour that a PSP-4000 was in the works and that it would come with a UMD drive. Take a look at the MCV advert and tell us what you think. This couldn’t be a typo.

Check out this new batch of screens and artwork from Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker which goes on sale in May next year. The screens don’t give too much away but we do get to see some more of Ashley Wood’s incredible artwork. Have a look below and tell us what you think.

Konami have today announced that Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker will arrive in Europe on May 28th 2010.
“Metal Gear Solid fans should prepare themselves for the next chapter of Snake’s story,” said Hideo Kojima in today’s Press Release. “[The game] will answer many of the series’ unanswered questions and showcase a different, more collaborative side to tactical espionage. May 27th is when Snake’s story continues…”
So it’ll ship May 27th and arrive on the shelves and on the Playstation Store on the 28th then. OK. Whatever you say Mr. Kojima. You are our leader. This is going to be huge. TGL can’t wait.
