It's been a while since we've seen a PSP title top the Japanese sales charts. Well, surprise surprise: a PSP anime-licensed game has taken the top spot in Japan. With over 100,000 units pushed in a week, <em>Macross Ace Frontier</em> is an unsurprising victor to this week's charts, edging out a slew of DS and PS2 games, like <em>Pokemon Platinum </em>and <em>Dynasty Warriors 6 Special</em>.<br />

<p>One of our readers rightfully asked why we post so much information on Japanese games. The truth of the matter is, Japan just gets more games than us. Games like <em>Gundam</em> are system-sellers on that side of the Pacific. The upcoming <em>Macross</em> game will also undoubtedly do very well. While most of us will never have a chance to actually play these titles (lest we import), at least we can take some comfort that PSP is doing incredibly well in Japan?

Twenty-three new screenshots of <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/macross-ace-frontier/"><em>Macross Ace Frontier</em></a> have been gathered over at <a href="http://www.psphyper.com/psp/macross-ace-frontier-screens-galore/">PSPHyper</a>. Some information on the game has been released as well. Contrary to what was reported <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/06/18/macross-ace-frontier-announced/">earlier</a>, the game will allow you to pilot a Variable Fighter from all five works of the <em>Macross</em> series. More than 30 different characters will make an appearance in the game, with each pilot and mech containing their own upgradeable attributes to help you prepare for the 80+ missions planned. A animated gif showcases a "3-Stage Transformation," which will be done with the analog stick. "Characteristics" from the anime will act as aspects in the game, such as "Mechanism," "Love" and "Song."

<em>Macross Ace Frontier</em> has been announced as a new mecha title for the PSP. Developed by Art Dink and published by Namco Bandai, the title is aiming for a Fall 2008 release in Japan. The game will include mechs from <em>Macross</em>, <em>Macross Plus</em>, and <em>Macross 7. </em><br /><br />Currently, the game is 60 percent complete; glad to hear Art Dink is going to work their butts off to pull off that remaining 40 percent in time for autumn. Unlike some other games and dev teams ... we're looking at you <em>Dissidia</em>! Anyway, check out what the game looks like over at <a href="http://www.jeux-france.com/news27940_macross-ace-frontier-sur-psp-.html">Jeux-France</a>.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/06/18/macross-ace-frontier-announced/">Macross Ace Frontier announced</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Wed, 18 Jun 2008 16:30:00 EST.
