The next eight days in handheld games

There may be enough PSP games landing next week to fill the cargo bay of an Airbus 380 but, as you've probably noticed by now, releases are about as reliable as the UK's train service.

So feign surprise, if you must, at news that Silent Hill Experience and Ys: The Ark of Napishtim (both for PSP and originally due today) have been delayed until June 2nd and sometime in September, respectively.

That still leaves a healthy trio this week for PSP – 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany,Metal Gear Ac!d 2 and Puyo Pop Fever – while Nintendo handheld fans have got X-Men III: The Official Game to keep them occupied.

And in another seven days the DS faithful can roll out the red carpet for Nintendo royalty in the form of Super Princess Peach. Also in first class should be the PSP's Viewtiful Joe: Red Hot Rumble – its ticket has been booked for ages and publisher Capcom doesn't tend to miss flights.

Back in cattle class though, things are a little less certain. We'll just have to wait and see which from Bubble Bobble Evolution, Dragon Ball Z: Shin Budokai, Pac-Man World 3 and Space Invaders Evolution emerge from the fuselage.
