Konami release bonanza

PS2 News | Castlevania named (again), 3 DDRs and more.
Whilst not something that's been confirmed by Konami, reports are emanating from a place known as Orange Lounge Radio that numerous titles and release dates have been revealed. They say that most of them will likely be seen E3 and the abscence of Metal Gear Solid 3 Subsitence means that the given dates are American.

First off, there are three Dance Dance Revolution games set to come out for three different systems before the end of the year. The arcade hit DDR Supernova is set to release on the PS2, followed by DDR Universe for Xbox 360 and finally, DDR Ultramix 4 for Xbox. All of there are set for releases a month apart from each other and are spread over September to November. Karaoke Revolution American Idol is meant to be coming to PS2 around November as well. While, the much overhauled Bomberman Act Zero is set to release on Xbox 360 and the PSP in July.

There are a couple of surprises in this list as well. The Silent Hill remake for PSP has apparently been given the name, Silent Hill Original Sin. It is meant to feature the original storyline with a few twists along the way. The new Castlevania for the DS looks like it will not be subtitled Dual Moons. Instead, it is called Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin and is set for a November release. Despite a ho-hum debut, it seems that Death Jr. has done enough to warrant a PSP sequel (Death Jr. 2) and even a release for the DS in the form of Death Jr. Science Carnival of Doom. Both are scheduled for release in October.

As mentioned, these haven't got the Konami green light. This information is likely based on what has been provided retailers. The only concern is that NTSC gamers are enjoying MGS3: Subsistence, while PAL gamers still don't know when they'll get a chance to play. We'll bring you more as it happens, which is likely to be in mid-May.

Silent Hill on a handheld? I just don't see the point of that. How effective is the horror going to be, really?

DDR and Bomberman coming this year? Might be time to think about getting a 360.

Yes. I'm serious.
