Fate/unlimited codes also download-only in Europe, but Capcom isn't giving up on UMD
Just like in North America, Capcom will release the PSP fighting game
Fate/unlimited codes in Europe as a download. But that doesn't mean the publisher is abandoning UMD. The Capcom Europe rep who confirmed the European release of the game to
MCV also said, "We certainly do not intend to stop supporting UMD." The representative went on to say, "Certainly for us PSP is very important – more so with
Monster Hunter coming – than maybe any other publisher." Of course, Capcom may have to end up dropping UMD if
Sony does.
It's no surprise that Capcom would be hesitant to do
anything to downplay the upcoming release of
Monster Hunter Freedom Unite, including speak ill of its
format. It was the
best-selling game in Japan last year, and thus is probably pretty important to Capcom.
