Virtual Hamster Game Announced for PSP

[wraggster]

Someone has finally gotten around to giving the PSP the one thing that was missing from its lineup: a downloadable virtual hamster viewing game.

In Hamster Channel, you feed and interact with virtual hamsters. The game is set up like a variety television show with channels depicting different hamsters in a variety of environments.

Your furry friends are generated using random generation routines, giving unique fur patterns for all players. New-comer publisher HI Games & Publishing boasts that the game offers the highest level of 3D visuals for a virtual pet game.

Hamster Channel is a rare download-only PSP title. It will hit the Japanese PlayStation Store in mid December at 2,800 yen.

While a Japan-only release at the moment, HI says that it plans on bringing games to international audiences as well. These little easily-squashable critters could be US bound in the future.

I misread the title and thought it said Virtua Hamster for the PSP, like the unreleased 32x game. :P
