A bit strange that they're finally confirming this, the same day they announced a remixed CE is coming to PS3 and 360. Would have been better if they just made CE solely for the PSP, and add some leaderboards or something.

someone who went to gamescom!? sweet!
oh, how I envy you, sir. :D
thanks for the awesome news on your site.
my french is pretty terrible so i had to use google translate to read the post (coincidentally google's french-english is pretty terrible as well), but I got the gist of it, and its pretty exciting news!
I like the irony of a guy with an Atari gravatar giving the news about a Namco game.
Speaking of Atari, I wonder what the hold-up is with the Pong Mini. It was rated by the ESRB months ago. Do we need to wait for a guy with a Namco gravatar to go to the Tokyo Game Show and take a picture of Pong CE?
To contrast with the arcade-to-Minis talk above, I'd like to bring up Minis-to-arcade. Wouldn't that be like a holy grail objective, your game getting so popular that it gets a supersized arcade conversion? I know of 2 PSP-to-arcade paths so far: Sega's Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA made the HD arcade jump a few months ago, and now Taito is turning DariusBurst into a super-widescreen monster arcade cabinet, DariusBurst Another Chronicle:

It boggles the mind! Twin 32-inch monitors for a 32:9 aspect ratio (nearly the 4:1 ratio of the 1986 original Darius' 3-screen arcade machine), four-player force feedback seating, even blinking red lights over the screen for when stage bosses show up. There are also lots of gameplay changes between the PSP original and this arcade rendition, so I think it might be more sequel than obscenely enhanced port. But, man, imagine if your little dev team made a Mini that got enough fervent fans to qualify for a full sensory assault like this. :)
