Bandai has announced plans to bring two RPGs to the US. The first is Eiyuu Densetsu Gaghary Trilogy: Tear of Vermilion for PlayStation Portable. The second installment of this RPG trilogy was released in Japan on June 2nd. Tear of Vermilion is originally the fourth title in Nihon Falcom's long-running Eiyuu Densetsu series which currently spans six installments. The US version will be simply known as Legend of Heroes.

The second RPG heading for a US release is Gundam True Odyssey: Ushinawareta G no Densetsu for PlayStation 2. Released in Japan on June 30th, this RPG is currently being localized for the North American market. In addition to English voice acting, the story will also be altered in order to appeal more to a Western audience.
