R-Type Tactics targets Europe in September

by Andrew Yoon on Jun 11th 2008 12:30PM

For some reason, PSP games take a while to reach the European market. The upcoming release of Crisis Core, for example, is comically late compared to the Japanese and American releases. (At least Square Enix is making up for the tardiness through a number of great bonuses in the territory.)

R-Type Tactics, Irem's strategy game for PSP, is finally announced for release in Europe. It will be available on September 26th, and will be distributed by Rising Star Games. The game is unlikely to be enhanced for its release there, but who knows? Maybe Rising Star will figure out a pre-order bonus as cool as Atlus'.

I think it takes time to bring games to Europe, as there are quite a few languages. I wouldnt mind if devs. kept the english in the American format, it doesnt really make a difference to me.

I agree with strike.

I also think they should keep the Italian in the American format, and the French, and the German...

They should stop treating the UK to late releases, just send us the US copy and then release late to the REAL europe.

More languages, and Irem seeking out another publisher this case.

Atlus doesn't have a European division. Consequently, they've never themselves published any title in Europe. Every game they did develop had publishing done by someone else there.
