How much did you like titles like Aedis Eclipse and Disgaea Portable? If the answer is "very much," then you might want to check out this new addition to the PSP RPG titles list. From the join efforts of Hit Maker, NIS America and Nippon Ichi comes Dragoneer's Aria. We got two videos from GameSpot, a trailer for Dragoneer's Aria and the other is an interview with Yukihiko Hojo and Hiroyuki Maruhama.

Yukihiko Hojo is the CEO of Hit Maker (a subsidiary of Sega) and producer for Dragoneer's Aria, Hiroyuki Maruhama on the other hand is the chief technical and development officer. They talked about the possibilities of the PSP and traditional RPG games. They would be using the lessons of Blade Dancer (particularly the things they missed), their previous title to improve Dragoneer's Aria.

The trailer showcases the opening Dragoneer's Aria, featuring the characters and a bit of a primer on the story. The PSP game is set for a summer release this year and we'll keep you posted on more info about this one. Stay tuned.
