Phantasy Star Portable Pushed Up

Sega's funny. They announce that they're going to release a game and then... say nothing.

Their big-in-Japan PSP MMORPG Phantasy Star Portable was confirmed for a late March North American release back at TGS. Since then, Sega has been very good about not saying anything else about the project.

Today brings the first news about the game that I have heard since then. Good thing it's good news.

Sega announced today that Phantasy Star Portable would be released a few weeks earlier than expected, and make an early March 2009 release instead of a late one. Good news for those waiting to get their hands on some more multiplayer space operaing.

Phantasy Star Portable will now be available on March 3, 2009 in North America. It is already available in Japan.
