Namco Bandai developing Haruhi Suzumiya game for the PSP

Here’s yet another reason for video game otaku to go crazy: Namco Bandai is developing a game based on the cult anime series Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu (known to us English speakers as the Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi).

And what do you know, it’s for the PlayStation Portable! And no, before you ask, it’s not going to be a dancing game, but an adventure one. For the uninitiated, The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi revolves around an ordinary high-school teenager that everyone calls by his nickname Kyon.

Kyon’s actually quite the unremarkable person: he doesn’t have special powers, no severe childhood issues, and his hairstyle certainly doesn’t have any of the spikes or lifts we see with the common anime protagonist.

The people around him however, specifically the club he’s forced to join, do have special powers. And the series is about his daily struggle to cope with all of them, most of all with Suzumiya Haruhi herself. Besides being an adventure game for the PSP, there’s not much else info about the upcoming Namco Bandai title.

Hopefully, more will be revealed come the game’s official website opening on July 10. Until then, keep it locked here for any and all developments for this yet-to-be-named title.
