Mastertronic isn’t making any such mistakes however, bringing a new title in one of the most popular genres on one of the most popular formats to market this summer.

            Despite being limited to a technical demonstration at present, Mario Kart 3DS (working title) managed to garner a great deal of attention from attendees both at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) back in June, and last month at Nintendo’s UK unveiling of the Nintendo 3DS console.

            With Phantasy Star Portable  having just been confirmed for a European launch in early 2009, we thought it was about time we took a look at the title’s NintendoDS sibling, Phantasy Star Zero. With the PlayStation Portable release breaking continually breaking records for SEGA in Japan, it’s no surprise the publisher would want to emulate that success on the NintendoDS; that’s it arriving before the end of the year in Japan, however, is clearly the result of some incredibly astute forward-thinking by the company.
