Kotaku has reported that the Latest issue of Famitsu that the PSP will be getting the latest rendition of Game Art’s Classic RPG, Lunar: The Silver Star. Originally released for the Sega CD, the first Lunar (and its sequel) have seen remakes on the Sega Saturn, Playstation One, and an interesting Game Boy Advance version.
Hit the jump for the Famitsu screenshot.
This is the screenshot Kotaku was so nice to share with everyone:

The new PSP version, Lunar: Harmony of Silver Star, is going to sport enhanced visuals with updated music and art. There hasn’t been any word on a American or European release date.
With Persona and Lunar: The Silver Star both getting remakes it looks like new and old fans will be able to play these expensive RPGs at a reduced price.
What RPGs would you guys like to get a new makeover or should they be working on new titles?

Very cool! Might have an excuse to finally check this one out!
This looks damn awesome!!
Fact: Lunar 1 and 2 are the most magical, absorbing RPGs ever made in terms of straight characters.
I would say “they” (as in Game Arts) should be working on new titles, but their most recent outings that I can remember – Grandia 3 and Lunar: Dragon Song – were outrageous disappointments to me.
In any case, this sounds like it could be good, but I’m too much of a Working Designs fanboy to admit that it could be better than the PSX version. Still, at least I can recognize that I’m unreasonable about it.
