No Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep Release for PSP Go
Author: Arthur Ricky // Category: PSP, Popular Games
Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep is set for release on PSP in the U.S. on September 7, but not on the PSP Go. Square Enix has confirmed the game will only receive a UMD release, meaning owners of the digital distribution-based Go won’t have any way to play it.
The confirmation came first by blogger and Arizona Daily Star writer Phil Villarreal, who contacted PR firm Ogilvy, which handles Square Enix releases. “Just found out that there unfortunately are no plans to release KHBBS on PSP Go. If that changes, I will certainly let you know!” a representative told him. Kotaku later contacted Square Enix for first-hand confirmation, and were also told there are “currently no plans” for a PSP Go release.
Besides a delay before the PSP version of Little Big Planet was released digitally, there hasn’t been a high profile game that wasn’t released both on UMD and through digital distribution since the Go came out last year, so Birth by Sleep will be the first spurn Go owners. For the sake of those Go owners, let’s hope this isn’t the beginning of a new trend.
