We'll see how it goes... Let's hope we get EAR and GROWL on the US version. Otherwise we'll have to import.
Looks like this will be my first PSP import. Here's hoping Darius Gaiden and a few other shooters are included too. Maybe we will get TATE this time although Layer Section on a flipped PSP would probably kill a few hand strings. And please, please, please give us New Zealand Story arranged!

Taito Memories Set for PSP
The classics on the go!
by Anoop Gantayat
October 27, 2005 - The PSP is the perfect environment for classic arcade releases, as Namco found out with its early portable version of Namco Museum. Taito is at last following suit with some PSP retro gaming of its own. The publisher announced this past week plans for Taito Memories Pocket for the PSP.
Following the pattern set by its PS2 counterparts, Taito Memories will include a number of classic arcade titles from the 1980s. In all, we can expect twenty games, including such classics as Crazy Balloon, Elevator Action, Kage no Densetsu and New Zealand Story. Of these games, four of these will also be playable in newly arranged form, with new items and other bonus features.Taito Memories Pocket will make use of the PSP's wireless LAN play features for multiplayer play. A Japanese release is set for January 5, 2006. Sadly, Taito will be pricing this like a full title, at 5040 yen.

You don't have to be smart; you don't have to know the facts, you just have to be confident.

Disappointing news, various sites have posted the lineup for the UMD, no Elevator Action returns, no Darius to name a few. I assume it's because this is based on the PS2 vol 2 but if this is the only Taito memories volume they release this on PSP, it'd at least make sense to throw Bubble Bobble on there too. Hrm. Still a decent lineup though I guess, but hopefully it will get a better UK or U.S. version:
Alphine Ski
Elevator Action
Rainbow Island Extra
Crazy Ballon
Chack n' Pop
Lunar Rescue
Balloon Bomber
Legend of Kage
The Fairyland Story
Rastan Saga
The New Zealand Story
Raimais
Cameltry
Qix
Kiki Kaikai
Kuri Kinton
Crazy Ballon 2005
Balloon Bomber 2005
Legend of Kage 2005
Cameltry 2005
