Square’s released a direct feed video containing ten minutes of Final Fantasy Type-0 footage titled the “Opening.” The name indicates that the clip features the game’s opening moments. However, it’s listed as a “special edit”, so the video might not be a exact replication of the game’s intro. The game releases in Japan on October 27 for PSP. Anyone not wanting to spoil the starting moments of the game might want to skip watching this. For everyone else, you can watch the video after the break. Thanks, Andriasang.

How are you feeling today? Creaky? A tad grizzled? How does a bowl of ice cream sound to you? Like unnecessary calories and an increased risk of diabetes? Can you explain – in a few excessively enthusiastic sentences – what a “Bakugan” is? No?

Then the PSP probably isn’t for you anymore.

After finishing up work on 2008′s Prince of Persia, Ubisoft Montreal pulled the game development equivalent of its previous prince’s sand-based snafu and took a trip back in series time with The Forgotten Sands.

As it turns out, the team at Ubisoft Quebec City did the same thing, only with more magical time sand. A lot more magical time sand.

Portable gaming is Nintendo. Whether you’re spending your morning commute with a PSP, Nintendo DS, or Neo-Geo Pocket (RIP), to most passers-by, that little slab of plastic in your hands is a Gameboy. And oh, hey, 129 million sales. Nintendo’s throne is unassailable, right?

But we can remember a time when console gaming was the same way. “Wanna play Nintendo? Etc.” And according to a survey by Morgan Stanley’s Katy Huberty, Nintendo might be well served by remembering how that whole thing turned out.

Well, this is no good. Q-Games President Dylan Cuthbert has tweeted that Sony’s infinitely pirateable portable probably won’t be seeing any more of his company’s flagship franchise.

“I don’t think we’ll port anything else to the PSP, we have to see how [PixelJunk Monsters Deluxe] does as there’s a *lot* of piracy,” he said.

When confronted with the possibility of rigging the game’s code with anti-piracy measures, Cuthbert was less than optimistic.

“Unfortunately, the pirates could just hack those kinds of things out.”

For shame, pirates. For shame.

Update: It’s live. Make with the downloading.

Over on the PlayStation blog, PSN Operations Director Eric Lempel brings word that PSP firmware 6.10 is just about cooked through. No date yet, but it’s coming “soon.”

Along with a couple of music-centric features, the update adds bluetooth tethering, which allows you to sync your PSP with your cell phone and use it as a modem to connect to the Internet. No wi-fi? No problem.

That one’s not free, either, Sony. Royalties or we sue. We’re Langdelling this thing.

Atlus just sent over a note telling us that Persona PSP’s digital release won’t be making its originally scheduled date. Instead, it’ll be ready to go a week after the game’s September 22 retail release.

“While we’d previously announced that a digital version would be available at launch (on 9/22) along with the retail UMD version, it will in fact slip a few days until 10/1/09,” said Atlus.

However, the publisher added that the brick-and-mortar edition will include all sorts of collector’s content – like a jam-packed soundtrack CD – for no additional fee.

We hate waiting and love music. Sounds like a no-brainer to us.

Metal Gear games – which count fat men on rollerskates, ancient wheelchair-bound snipers, and immortal vampires among their standout features – have never exactly been “normal.” However, Peace Walker’s even got Metal Gear devotees doing double-takes, so you’ll be happy to hear that Peace Walker will be publicly playable at TGS.

According to Kotaku, you’ll be able to try Peace Walker at Konami’s booth or download it to your own PSP and peace walk the show floor.

Now then, if you’ll excuse us, we’re going to start scanning Ebay for “PSP w/ Peace Walker demo.” We want us some Peace Walker, pronto!
