New glance at upcoming titles for PSP, DS

More early previews from the show floor reveal a new installment to the Coded Arms franchise for Sony's PlayStation Portable. This unsolicited picture shows the new Coded Arms: Contagion getting prepped for play. We won't be able to formally get our grubby hands on this until Wednesday, but PSP owners will be craving some fresh titles coming out of E3.

The hand-held doesn't have the best track record for new and innovative games (erm... homebrew?), so hopefully this title will provide something that PSP gamers can sink their thumbs into.
Another noteworthy portable is Lunar Knights ("Working title," it says!), which we are expecting for the Nintendo DS. Role playing fans will enjoy this one judging from the looks of the kiosk. Keep it tuned here for more information after the show starts!

The more solid titles for Nintendo DS and Sony PSP, the better. Today was big, tomorrow will be bigger. Bring it on E3!

These are from Konami's booth.

Lunar Knights has been changed from 'Boktai' at GameStop.com and the art style looks exactly the same.

Interesting indeed.

judging from the art style, Lunar Knights looks hawt!

Coded Arms was trash. I don't know why they would bother making a sequel for a platform that was CLEARLY not designed with FPS in mind.

^^^ Because it sold rather well.

Kamalot: May 9th 2006; 2:04AM

^^^ PSP owners must be desperate or uninformed to buy such garbage.

AdamBot: May 9th 2006; 2:10AM

This is true.

I don't like this Django and Sabata...

Bring back the original Solar Boy and Dark Boy, 'k?

They should make a other Syphon filter game because that rocks! they will one day

I don' even play Coded arm anymore. I wonder how will it be.

I'm looking forward to some more games for the PSP. The DS still only has three titles I really cared for...

Kamalot: What? I use my PSP to play music, carry around comics (Eat-Man for the win), transport movies (I can carry all three LotR movies with some slight tweaking of quality, and it looks great...and yes, the books are still better), check out Joystiq without having to wait for my PC or Laptop to boot up, or play a bit-o-wipeout while I wait for maps in Battlefield 2 to load. The number of acceptable titles for both the PSP and DS are roughly the same, only the zombified masses of DS fanboys make it seem as though there is nothing for the PSP. Well...with that rant out of the way, I hope they can make a better version of Coded Arms. The control scheme, with a bit of tweaking, worked really well, but the game didn't go anywhere. With some online play (Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror anyone?), a new Coded Arms could do really well. I'm looking forward to seeing what's coming out for the DS (I haven't been able to justify buying the thing yet...)

the psp is definately the future walkman insomuch as the ds is the future gameboy. i absolutely believe both those statements to be true, and i cannot tell you how much of the 90s was spent with a discman and a gameboy color in my backpack. a couple. wait, i told you. dang.
