So a new Astro Boy video game is in the works for the Wii, DS and PSP, as announced a couple of months back. However, the unfortunate news is that the PSP version of Astro Boy: The Video Game will be the only one released in Japan.

Cameron Rains, producer at High Voltage Software, confirmed that Japan will be getting only the PSP version of the game but did not provide an explanation as to why the land of the rising sun won’t be getting this boy-with-a-machine-gun-on-his-butt on the Wii. The DS version is not handled by High Voltage.

As to what the reason could be, we can only guess. But in the meantime, why don’t you enjoy these new screenshots?
