The next company to give its series the 3D fighting treatments is Falcom, who is set to announce Ys Vs Sora no Kiseki this week based on early leaks of the latest issue of DengekiPlayStation. As the title suggests, the game will features characters from two of the company most popular series, those confirmed so far appeared to be Adol, Dogi (screen with them in Ys Seven above) and Olha for Ys with Joshua, Tita and Estelle representing Sora no Kiseki. They will be featured in the story mode and up to four characters can join a battle. The game will come out sometime next year in Japan.

Falcom latest loves for PSP doesn’t ends there as the company also announce the port of Ys: The Oath in Felghana to our system next April. Hope both of them will come to US eventually but at this moment, I will be happy to see both Ys I&II Chronicles and Ys Seven get translated.

Really happy to see Fushigi no Dungeon Fuurai no Shiren 3 Portable being announced, I’m a big fans of the artworks being produced for the game and the idea that dying means all the way back to Level 1 sounds intriguing :) Chunsoft put up the official website of the dungeon crawler with some basic info and the new stuff that the PSP version is getting. They are six new original dungeons, online support (not quite sure what’s in there beside online ranking), readjusted game balance and data install for faster loading. The release date is January 28th in Japan.
