The long-standing Taito shooter Darius is getting a new entry in the form of the PSP exclusive Darius Burst. The news was recently announced in Famitsu, but Gpara have done an update on it. The Burst suffix apparently refers to the Silverhawk's ability to channel and reciprocate an enemy's attack (something that was seen last in G-Darius). Naturally, as this is Darius, there will be a total of 11 branched paths through the game along with music by Zuntata. The new nerdy development is that Kanetake Ebikawa is helming the mecha design for the game, something that is a bit of giveaway when you look at the new Force-like power-up as it seems to be covered in GN Blades from Gundam 00. Darius Burst is released in Japan on 3rd September this year.
