PSP Developer Interview

Posted by michael on from the sore-thumbs dept.

zmcnulty writes "Over at TechJapan, we've finished our three part translation of Game Watch's interview of Mr. Izumi Kawanishi, one of the PSP's lead designers. New details revealed include a few about the USB interfacing (with both PS2 and PC), a small hint about the elusive battery life, and best of all, that game saves can indeed be copied from Memory Stick to PC by using the PSP's USB interface. Here's part one, part two, part three, and the original Japanese interview."

    This baby is going to be great! Transferring saves with USB is cool, but have you read the specs? The gorgeous 4.3" widescreen (yes, 16:9!) LCD alone is worth buying it, let alone the extended battery life!

    Have slashbots suddenly acquired Japanese fluency? Is this for cross-reference?

    Here's the answer:

    This site doesn't even support UTF-8 or SHIFT-JIS so why the hell should it's readership want a link to the original Japanese article?
