Lemmings Coming to PSP

By Digital Trends Staff March 20, 2006

Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) today announced they were bringing the classic puzzle gaming Lemmings to the PlayStation Portable. The game, first introduced in 1991, celebrates its 15th anniversary as it gets ready to hit the portable gaming device May 23.

In Lemmings on the PSP, said SCEA, players guide masses of little green-haired creatures through various maze-like levels that have an entrance point and an exit point. Quick thinking and skillful management of the Lemmings group is critical because Lemmings features more than 150 levels, including more than 20 all-new puzzles created specifically for the PSP. In addition, the game will host a new mix of music, custom level creation, new detailed graphics and wireless capability to share newly created levels.

“Lemmings delivers a very unique and addictive style of puzzle gameplay that players of all ages can enjoy,” said Susan Nourai, director, online and product marketing, Sony Computer Entertainment America, in a statement. “As the franchise turns 15 this year, we are happy to see the enduring appeal it has for fans around the world and are thrilled that today’s generation will be able to experience the excitement of Lemmings on PSP.”

Nintendo confirms that Switch 2 and a June Direct are coming

A Nintendo Switch Red and Blue system.

Nintendo has finally confirmed two important things that people were speculating about. First off, we learned that another Nintendo Direct showcase will be taking place this June. More importantly, Nintendo finally confirmed that it is working on a Nintendo Switch successor and said we'd learn more about it within this fiscal year.

This all came from a statement by President Shuntaro Furukawa on Nintendo's corporate X (formerly Twitter) account. "We will make an announcement about the successor to Nintendo Switch within this fiscal year. It will have been over nine years since we announced the existence of Nintendo Switch back in March 2015," the post confirms. "We will be holding a Nintendo Direct this June regarding the Nintendo Switch software lineup for the latter half of 2024, but please be aware that there will be no mention of the Nintendo Switch successor during that presentation."

A former Stadia exclusive comes to PC and consoles this week, and it’s a blast

Pac-Men chase one another through a beach maze in Pac-Man Mega Tunnel Battle: Chomp Champs.

If you're a fan of Pac-Man, you're in luck. On May 9, Pac-Man Mega Tunnel Battle: Chomp Champs (not the catchiest name, is it?) hits PC and all major consoles. The online-only multiplayer release is a battle royale game where 64 players fight to survive across interconnected mazes. It's a chaotic use of the Pac-Man formula that fans of the series should enjoy.

If all of this sounds oddly familiar, it's because the game originally launched nearly four years ago ... as a now-lost Google Stadia exclusive.

Ubisoft's XDefiant, a first-person shooter meant to take on the likes of Call of Duty, will finally get a wide release and enter its Preseason on May 21.

Ubisoft San Francisco announced XDefiant in July 2021 and has held several rounds of testing for the game since then. It's a 6v6 competitive shooter being worked on by former Call of Duty developers, where the main hook is that each faction is based on a Ubisoft franchise. Series like Ghost Recon, Splinter Cell, The Division, Far Cry, and Watch Dogs are all represented here. After years of testing, Ubisoft initially promised a wide release for XDefiant sometime around September or October of 2023, but delayed the game after a public test session.
