Super Robot Wars Portable A gets much more than a facelift

Filed under: News, Imports

It's an understatement to say that Super Robot Wars A Portable has gone through a few tweaks for its PSP release. Originally on the Game Boy Advance, it should be fairly obvious that a straightforward port wouldn't satiate the desires of many robot fanboys. So what's new?

Graphics have been overhauled to near PlayStation 2 quality -- it's like having a console version in your hands or something. Battle scenes are now fully-voiced, more detailed 2D maps with a zoom feature along with other elements from the PS2 versions. There's also some gameplay tweaks. New skills abound and a "Trust" system has been instigated where your attack and defense will be affected as well as upgrading your equipment. You can opt between a 4:3 or 16:9 mode and enjoy some shortened load times if you're using the PSP-2000. The game's out in Japan on June 19th, so get your import cards ready!
