Capcom Releasing Fate/Unlimited Codes Digitally, "Still Supports UMD"

In light of the rumors that Sony is going to soon ditch the UMD format with its next iteration of the PlayStation Portable, it comes as little surprise that Capcom will be following their Patapon 2 cue by releasing a title of their own via the digital format. The game in question is Fate/Unlimited Codes, a 2D fighting game based on an arcade and PlayStation 2 title, which in itself is based on the manga series Fate/Stay Night. MCV ponders whether or not the game would have seen a retail release, and if not, then this could be a sign of publishers being more daring with their releases. However, in spite of this move, Capcom is insistent that they are not finished with the UMD format just yet. "We certainly do not intend to stop supporting UMD," a spokesperson said. "Certainly for us PSP is very important – more so with Monster Hunter coming – than maybe any other publisher." (link)
