PIU


Dance Dance Revolution-style games are a favorite for the PSP, and the guys who've seen the abundance of PSP homebrews and PC copies of this particular genre will tell you we just can't get enough.

And that's why we're letting you know about this other popular number hitting the PSP system soon: The PlayStation Korea main site just announced their recent game lineup for the PSP, and it included a PSP version of Andamiro Company's Pump It Up, Korea's answer to DDR.

What made PIU unique compared to DDR-style games was its button setup - players will remember having to step on diagonally positioned footpads and a central pad, which made this something of a challenge compared to DDR's standard up/down/left/right control config. As we said, this game's only hitting Korea, with no announcements of a US release.

We've also enclosed screenshots of PIU to give you guys a glimpse of its PSP port.

I played piu once on an arcade machine, it was my first dance like game. it got me hooked, although i only play ddr now cause of the easily aquireable songs (not to mention dance mats)

I was pretty sceptical about controls but after thinkin bout it it should definitely work well

LOL I was just about to say that it'll fail, but those inputs will surely work.



btw, I love Pump more than DDR :)

» nice!

I'll definetly be importing this whenever it comes out! I think it looks awesome and even though they'll only make a Korean version, it looks like the menus are going to be 98% english anyway like DJMax P was.

I have this on PS2 and it has a great song selection. Hopefully this will be in the US as the PS2 version is.
