Famitsu reports that Namco Bandai is developing a Ridge Racer sequel for PSP. Ridge Racers 2 (Japanese title) will feature 18 courses from previous games -- ranging from Ridge Racer to R4: Ridge Racer Type 4 -- and will come packed with six car classes. Unfortunately, the multiplayer will remain 8-player ad-hoc. Ridge Racers 2 is scheduled for a September release in Japan.A sequel to Exit, Taito's throwback action-puzzler, is also in the works. Kangaeru Exit (Japanese title) will include 110 new levels, plus bonus downloadable stages, and will reportedly downplay action elements, focusing more on puzzle solving. Of course, what made the action fall flat in the original Exit was unresponsive controls -- let's hope the team attends to this issue as well. Like Ridge Racers 2, Kangaeru Exit is on track for a September release in Japan.

Kangaeru Exit?
Does that involved finding one's way out of a marsupial? From inside the body or just the pouch?

I'm surprised that the POSP is still getting support.

i'll take my comment back on the condition that "POSP" was just a typo.

Ridge Racer? The umpteenth sequel? NO WAY!
I haven't even got a chance to try the first Exit! I don't know; the PSP @ $125 was a good deal I guess, but I just don't have much interest in using it. Most of my gaming time is spent with the 360 and the DS. The 'cube, PSP, PS2, and laptop will just have to cry themselves to sleep.
Seriously...what is good about Ridge Racer anyway?

the "POSP" is still getting support because it's still doing well. I know how hard that is for you to accept.

Ummm...didn't the first Ridge Racers have tracks from all the other past games in the first place? I totally loved the PSP Ridge Racers (took me 9 stores to finally find it) but if its just another "best of" collection, then I might pass.
