TOKYO--According to retailers in Japan, Konami will release its previously announced PSP port of Ys: The Ark of Napishtim in Japan on January 20. The game will be priced at 4,800 yen ($46).
The PSP version of Ys: The Ark of Napishtim will have all the bonus features that were available on the DVD edition for the PC, such as the nightmare mode that allows you to enjoy the game at an extremely hard setting. It also includes the boss time-attack battle mode, which allows you to play against any of the bosses you've previously beaten without having to go through the game again.
Itll be another month until Ys is released, so until then, stay tuned to GameSpot over the weekend, when we'll bring you full coverage of the PSPs launch on Sunday.
