Konami's DS and PSP Fall Releases

konami logoKonami has released their upcoming fall releases, but sadly, there are no next-gen titles included in the list. But it's all good, we know you guys are luvvin' your DS and PSPs, right?

This fall, Konami will be bringing two animated franchise series to consoles: Warner Bros.' Xiaolin Showdown and Winx Club. Winx Club: The Quest for the Codex is based on the animated series which currently airs on 4Kids TV. Also set for release this fall are Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin and Marvel Trading Card, both of which actually seem interesting, and will most probably bring out the cute little kid in you (okay, maybe not so much the 'cute' part...? Haha).

Slated for a fall release for both the DS and PSP are Marvel Trading Card Game and Xiaolin Showdown. Also available for the PC, Marvel Trading Card Game features the complete gang of characters: Spiderman, X-men, the Avengers, Ghost Rider, Fantastic Four, The Hulk, etc. You can also go online in cross platform to take on your foreign friends. Xbox and PS2 users will also get to play Xiaolin Showdown, where you get to flaunt your martial arts skills, wits, and the mystical powers of the Shen Gong Wu to save and protect the world from evil.

Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin comes to the DS with new adventures of vampire hunter Jonathan Morris and his magical friend, Charlotte Orlean. Join the two as they stop Dracula from being resurrected in the midst of World War II chaos. Winx Club: The Quest for the Codex will also be making its way into the DS this fall, enabling players to dance, fly, and design outfits for their avatars in mini-games. Also made available on the GBA, you can trade unlocked clothes and accessories wirelessly with your DS and with the Link Cable for the GBA.

Winx Club will also be clubbing with your PSPs via Winx Club: Join the Club. Join the fab fairies from the Alfea school as they try to come between Lord Darkar and his power-tripping plans by securing the pieces of the emblem before Darkar gets to them and uses the emblem's magical abilities to fulfill his dark and sinister plans. Be sure to check back with us for Konami's next-gen releases as we will be updating the site with more news on game releases.

I think it would be best if they released Castlevania Portrait of Ruin on both the DS and PSP that way everybody's happy. I read that they aren't going to even use the touch screen except for the menu so converting it to PSP wouldn't be that difficult. And the PSP can handle those 2d graphics while it's sleeping.

Yeah, I have both as well... a DSL with a G6L/PM3 combo and a PSP with 1GB and 512MB mem sticks :D. That being said, Konami DEFINITELY should release a Castlevania game PSP exclusive. They could make such an amazing 2D sidescroller (none of this 3D garbage like the PS2 games) on the PSP, especially with the widescreen format... It's practically MADE for a nice Castlevania game.



And, I thought PoR was slated for a late December or first-quarter 2007 release, not Fall. Wasn't this reported on QJ? o_O Confusion.

Portrait of Ruin uses the touchscreen for more than menus. Pin-point direction of attack magics on one of the two characters will be directed by touchscreen. I wouldn't be surprised to see a few other touch surprises in there, since they've had more time to actually come up with new ideas since Dawn of Sorrow.



If they were going to do a PSP CV title, it'd have to be absolutely new, and frankly I doubt they'll do it. They just don't seem to be too interested.

I just found this quote a page back:



"Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin should be out in December according to EB Games' website. It used to be earlier but it seems the game got delayed. Konami will definitely try to release the game before Christmas so they can maximize sales."



So, I was right earlier about the release date... why are they saying it's going to be out in fall now? QJ.net needs to get their facts straight.
