After the break, you'll find eight (eight!) galleries of brand new screens, pulled from Uncharted, Wipeout, Little Deviants, and many more.

Yeah, that's it we're afraid. Just one measly little theme. We're sure it's a lovely theme, but while Americans will be nomming on Ultimate Ghosts And Goblins today (plus who knows what else?) Europeans will have little more to do than redecorate their XMB. Still, they've been enjoying Loco Roco 2 for about a month now, so maybe this is their comeuppance? Just to reiterate, today's European PSP store update contains: a Super Stardust Portable theme. Don't be too disheartened though, at least it's free.

Super Stardust Portable is missing a few "key features." As is, the downloaded PSP game lacks Endless and Bomber Mode (and Survival Mode!), despite these two modes -- "and more" -- being advertised in the description on PlayStation Store, reports IGN. "Extreme weak sauce," declares the site's review. "Yeah! What they said!" we say.

Super Stardust Portable was released last week, nearly 18 months after Super Stardust HD and about five months after that game's last expansion. It's not unreasonable to assume that the $10 port would include the full canon of Stardust gameplay we've seen offered to date. But, as our eighth grade algebra teacher so wisely passed on:

Don't assume, it makes an ass out of u and me.

Although the game statistics page may mention modes like Survival Mode, players have had a hard time finding them in the game. Problem? They're not in the game. IGN smartly realized that many features listed in the promo text for the game is not included in the $10 download. Rather, the game will follow its PS3 older brother, and will offer these modes as future DLC.

While we're willing to shell out more for more Stardust, we're not sure how well the online microtransaction system will work for the handheld crowd. Considering $10 isn't much to start a game, we're hopeful that portable gamers won't mind paying a bit more for additional content.

Super Stardust Portable out Dec. 4]]>http://www.joystiq.com/2008/11/26/yo-asteroid-super-stardust-portable-out-dec-4/http://www.joystiq.com/2008/11/26/yo-asteroid-super-stardust-portable-out-dec-4/http://www.joystiq.com/2008/11/26/yo-asteroid-super-stardust-portable-out-dec-4/#commentsFiled under: ,


If there's one classic concept that video games have taught us, it's that things from outer space are coming to kill you. In the case of Super Stardust Portable, said things are mainly calamitous asteroids, intent on colliding with your puny spaceship and the planet below. The downloadable PSP title, a handheld rendition of the popular rock-blasting shooter on PlayStation 3, will become available on the PlayStation Store next Thursday, December 4th, for $9.99.

Those used to the chaotic action of Super Stardust have a new "Impact" mode (bombs and boosts only!) to look forward to in this version, as well as a new final boss. Not that we thought you'd be bored without them -- the PSP version promises to hurl over 1,000 objects at the field at any given time. As programming lead Kimmo Lahtinen points out, "That's a lot of things to shoot."

You won't have to wait too long for Super Stardust Portable, loyal American readers of PSP Fanboy. Although the game is out now in Europe, the PSP version of Super Stardust will hit in next week's PSN update. You'll be able to download the game directly onto your handheld, or through the PlayStation Store for PC for only $9.99

New features included in the PSP version of the game includ the new "Impact Mode" and a new final boss. There's also a steeper difficulty curve for SSHD vets. Most impressively: the game runs at 60fps on the handheld. Wow.

The American PSN Store update will be taking place today instead of Thursday, thanks to Thanksgiving. Though, that doesn't explain why SCEE (who celebrate no such holiday) have decided to go ahead and update the PSP Store with one of our most anticipated downloadable titles yet. Super Stardust Portable, little brother to the PS3's HD offering, is now available to purchase for only £6.29.

At that price, you can't really say no. There's also a trailer for the PSP version of Everyday Shooter. Perhaps Super Stardust Portable's release on a Tuesday is an indication that it will also be heading to the American store today too. Fingers crossed.

The upcoming PSP version of the popular shooter Super Stardust may be arriving in November, if importer Play-Asia is to be believed. The game has a release date of November 20th for Asian markets on UMD.

Considering Super Stardust Portable is supposed to be a PSP downloadable title, it appears that it will get a simultaneous UMD/download release -- at least in Asia. Hopefully, it won't be long until Sony confirms a date for this sweet addition to the PSP lineup.

What is Super Stardust Portable? Well, it's exactly what it sounds like. It's a PSP version of Super Stardust HD, ready to play anywhere you go. The PSN download-exclusive title is making the big jump from PS3 to PSP, and Housemarque (developers of the original SSHD) have succeeded in creating an authentic Stardust experience for the handheld.

There are obviously going to be two big questions on everyone's mind regarding SSHD. Firstly, the controls. PSP may not have a second analog stick, so how will this work? Well, you simply use the face buttons to shoot in the direction you'd like. It may take a little while to get accostmed to, but SSHD vets will be boosting, bombing and shooting in no time. (ProTip: To do a circular attack with the Gold Melter, press all the face buttons at once.) Secondly, the graphics. While the visuals are obviously toned down from the PS3, the PSP version is able to render a surprising amount of enemies on screen while maintaining a silky smooth framerate. It may not be PSP's best looking game, but for a quick pick-up-and-play title, SSP offers more than enough detail.

Here's a pretty but very short video on Super Stardust Portable. We assume Sony wanted to keep it short and sweet. We'll follow the tradition and keep it short, too. If you're a fan of Super Stardust HD, then you'll want to check this out. Don't know the series and don't have a PS3? Then be sure to take this time to scout things out.
