Pilot Academy flying to North America?

By Spencer . March 24, 2008 . 8:12am

In September ‘06 Marvelous released a flight simulator on the PSP called Pilot ni Narou Flying All-Stars. Rising Star, Marvelous’ European publishing arm, naturally localized the game for Europe in 2007. To date no North American release has even been considered since Marvelous isn’t open for business yet.

However, budget publisher Valcon Games may be bringing the fighter jet versus civilian aircraft game across the pond. Gamefly has a listing for Pilot Academy, which sounds utterly uninteresting except for one feature. Pilot Academy supports ad-hoc wireless play with a single game.

It includes a deathmatch mode, a deathmatch mode where you can pit F-14 Tomcats against crop dusters.

Marvelous actually didn't localize the game for Europe; it was made by a UK developer - KUJU

Secondly, it's really just a flight sim, not a dogfighting game. I really don't understand why you find it "uninteresting", an actual flight sim on a portable is pretty unique.

Other than perhaps system bias. Although I like Siliconera, it definitely seems biased against the PSP.

@JeremyR - Ahh it was made by Kuju, but didn't it come out in Japan first. The way Rising Star describes it doesn't sound that interesting. But I'm really curious why we're "biased" against the PSP. Aren't we always reporting on PSP RPGs and original titles like echochrome?
