Valkyria Chronicles 2 to stay PSP exclusive

When Valkyria Chronicles 2 was announced for the PSP, many gamers got a bit angry since they wanted it to be on the PS3, just like the original. Well, now that SEGA West has begun their community team blog posts about the game, people have asked, is there a way the game can come to PS3? Short answer, no.

“Valkyria Chronicles I is a PS3 exclusive, and Valkyria Chronicles II is a PSP exclusive. Taking a game from the PSP and updating for the PS3 is a pretty huge process, and I don’t think there are any plans to do that currently. An interesting question though!”– RubyEclipse

Not really surprised, I mean, when was the last time a PSP game was ported to PS3? Never, that I can think of. He also answered your questions about Valkyria Chronicles trophy patch, no news on it. Basically, forget about trophies in the original and just play the damn game.

Weekend Reading: Valkyria Chronicles trophies


Everytime someone has a list of games that should get a trophy patch, Valkyria Chronicles is on that list right below Metal Gear Solid 4. Nothing new, but is it odd that fans are still asking for it? Isn’t it a tad bit late? Don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t mind it, but trophies won’t make the game better or worse. I guess its not going to hurt us to ask, is it?

Wow, more links than any other week. Anything that I missed?

SEGA wins two Guinness of World Records at E3

This time, SEGA has picked up two world records, one for first 3D title. Which of course is Virtua Fighter (take that Nintendo) and the second is for best PS3 RPG, this one being Valkyria Chronicles (Take that Square-Enix). Even though I can see why they gave the first one out, the second is not really a world record, but a matter of opinion, no?

I’m just glad that great SEGA games are getting reconized, even on published books like Guinness of World Records. Wish Yu Suzuki was at E3 to receive that award though. This would have been a good time to announce the Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown console port!

Valkyria Chronicles’ latest DLC missing English voices

If you have played Valkyria Chronicles and its last 3 DLCs, you would know that they feature English (and optional Japanese) voice overs. It seems that the choice is now gone in the latest DLC titled The Challenge of the Edy.

Why did SEGA take out the English voice overs? Most likely to cut cost. Seems that SEGA is really penny pinching now-a-days. I wonder if Valkyria Chronicles 2 will be Japanese only?

Valkyria Chronicles 4th DLC pack coming next week


I hope you still have your copy of Valkyria Chronicles because if you do, you are in for a treat. SEGA has finally decided to bring over the (as of now) the last piece of DLC for Valkyria Chronicles, the pack is called “The Challenges of the Edy Detachment”.

The game will feature six missions given out by Edy’s Squad. The DLC goes live on Thursday, February 25th. Also, no trophy patch is planned for the game, stop asking.

SEGA having another PSN sale this week


SEGA has announced that they will be having a Valentine’s day sale on their PSN content; the games listed this time are the same as their New Years sale it seems. They promised that this time they will have bundles, something that was missing from the last sale.

Crazy Taxi, Full Auto 2, Sonic Unleashed DLC, Valkyria Chronicles DLC, and Sonic Rivals 1 and 2 have all been confirmed to be in the sale. Maybe SEGA will make a really nice Valkyria Chronicles DLC bundle for us.
