Capcom: “We certainly do not intend to stop supporting UMD”

When it comes to the PSP, it won’t be the first time to note that Sony wants to go digital. Although they did mention that they won’t abandon UMD support, there’s no mistake about the path that Sony wants its handheld to take. We’ve seen it happen with Patapon 2, now with Fate/Unlimited Codes, and there are even rumors floating around about a UMD-less PSP model. Capcom, on the other hand, will maintain their support for UMD amidst the obvious direction that Sony is driving towards.

They may have taken the digital path with Fate/Unlimited Codes, but that doesn’t signify a move to go all digital. “We certainly do not intend to stop supporting UMD,” said a Capcom rep to MCV. “Certainly for us PSP is very important – more so with Monster Hunter coming – than maybe any other publisher.” Fair enough, Monster Hunter has been a massively successful title for the PSP, and Capcom isn’t about to jeopardize that.
