perhaps, but then why leaving out their own PS2?

Could be a deal with SCEJ?

That's exactly the question I asked in the post!

Astro Boy is way more popular in Japan, which makes the decision a mind boggling mystery.

well, that game was turd. I can't picture anyone buying it, specially when having a choice in the matter.

I don't think they knew it wasn't developed in Japan, it just bombed because of how stupid it looked… just like the film actually.

Probably is to avoid the bad sales of the american anime adaptations
just look at the DBZ evolution sales

My thoughts exactly.

Won't they translate the title for Jpan, btw?

Huh, why?

Isn't astroboy more popular in Japan than outside it? then why not releasing across all the platforms in there?

I'd understand if they only released it on PSP outside Japan, but not in Japan.
