Another Century Episode PSP Announced

[M.U.G.E.N]

 

Following "R," next letter in the Another Century's Episode series is "P." That stands for "Portable," as in PlayStation Portable.

Revealed in this week's Famitsu, Another Century's Episode Portable promises mecha from Gundam OO, Gundam Char's Counterattack, Code Geass Lelouch of the Rebellion, Overman King Gainer, Blue Comet SPT Layzner, Gundam W Endless Waltz, After War Gundam X, Turn A Gundam, Gundam 0083, VS Knight Lamune & 40 Fire, Macross Plus, Macross F and (deep breath) Psalms of Planets Eureka seveN good night, sleep tight, young lovers.

The game is currently 90% complete.

Different from the scenario-based progression of past entries (the most recent being ACE R for PS3 -- released just this past August), P will be mission-based. Players will be able to select their next mission, playing the missions they want first.

It looks like there will be some rewards for replaying missions, although we're going to have to wait for further details on this area.

As a new element, you'll find recovery points in the areas of play. Head to these areas, and you'll be able to recover your life and your ammo.

As you might have guessed from the lengthy list of franchises, ACE P will have quite a large number of mecha. You'll be able to unlock new machines by earning Ace Points as you clear missions.

The game will retain the three-member team setup of past ACE games. You'll be able to fight alongside two computer-controlled partner mechs, or you and two other players will be able to team up for multiplayer play.

ACE P is due for release on January 13.
