The release schedule is dancing to Patapon's warlike beat

DS + PSP

PSP owners have every right to get all excited this week as the wonderful Patapon - Sony's LocoRoco meets Advance Wars (kind of) - gets its release. And it's out in Europe a couple of days before the US, too.

Elsewhere, the flow of releases continues to improve with EA bringing FIFA Street 3 to DS and (finally) Need for Speed ProStreet to PSP. Manga-o-philes will sure also be interested in DS beat-'em-up Bleach: The Blade of Fate and DS RPG Mega Man ZX Advent, both of which have strong cultural heritage in Japan.

And then it's only a little while longer until PSP owners get to bask in the gory glory of God of War: Chains of Olympus. Good things are finally coming to those with portable widescreens.
