Dissidia and Patapon 2 dated for Japan; FF Agito still years away

Sony Japan has announced release dates for several PSP titles that all eyes (or in case of Patapon, "eye") have been on. Dissidia: Final Fantasy will sneak in right before Santa Claus shows up on December 18. Mobile Suit Gundam: Gundam vs. Gundam and the rhythm soldiers of Patapon 2 Donchaka will march in November 20 and 27, respectively. No word yet on North American or European release dates.

Meanwhile, Final Fantasy Agito XIII looks like it's still a long way off from coming to a Sony portable near you. Square Enix's Tetsuya Nomura explains the game isn't expected to release until after PS3's Final Fantasy XIII and Versus arrive. In short: We're looking at 2010 or later before Agito's release. Will the PSP, as we know it, even exist at that point?

Now get them for America. I don't have a PSP, but i'm still going to follow Dissidia, since i'm a sucker for crossovers

Plus its just nice to see the PSP come out of the software doldrums its been in for a while (ok, not in Japan, but look at US release lists, yikes)

Whatever happened to Gran Turismo 4 Mobile?

All we heard is that its back in production, possibly releasing next year or during the release of GT5 so that theres a link up between PSP and PS3 versions.

yea they said its releasing AFTER GT5 which is supposed to come out sometime next year. i dont even like to think about the game anymore though since its the main reason i bought a PSP at launch and it appears now to be vaporware. i wouldnt be surprised if it got canned.
