A New Challenger Appears!
Wait, rather, Majesco has released their E3 lineup! Do you see a theme in today's posts so far? It looks like Majesco will be bringing some fun and funk to the handhelds this season. It's about damn time, too. I have been yearning for some Guilty Gear lately, and having on my PSP sounds like just the ticket. It's a shame companies like Majesco and SNK have such a small release list compared to some of the other companies. Quality over quantity maybe? You know where the press release, don't you?
