It was such a shame when it was announced that Patapon 2 and Holy Invasion of Privacy Badman! What Did I Do To Deserve This? were going to be PlayStation Store exclusives. A lot of PSP owners prefer UMD releases after all. However, there’s a shining light of hope up ahead. NIS America, who brought Holy Invasion of Privacy Badman! to the US PlayStation Store, has had a change of heart.

Since so many fans asking for a UMD release of Holy Invasion of Privacy Badman!, NIS America has decided it’s worth offering people the option. A UMD preorder of the game is now available on the NIS America RosenQueen shop. If at least 1,000 people preorder the game by November 13, 2009, NIS America will put Holy Invasion of Privacy Badman! on a UMD and send it out to everyone who placed an order.

If you decide to preorder, it will cost you $19.99. You won’t receive your game until sometime after December 18, 2009. Still, it’s well worth the wait…

NISA displayed many of their upcoming titles pending release in the US. The list of playable titles included the event’s namesake Holy Invasion of Privacy, Badman! (Sony PSP), Cross Edge (PS3), Phantom Brave (Wii), and Let’s Zenryoku Hitchhike!!!!!!!!! (Wiiware ). Let’s Zenryoku Hitchhike!!!!!!!!! looks to be a party title where players traverse a board all the while using the Wiimote to flag down passing vehicles, be it such things as beater trucks to cows.

Initially, several key persons involved with the development and production of Holy Invasion of Privacy, Badman! were supposed to be in attendance. However, their travel plans were inevitably canceled due to this month’s flavor of the month also known as the Mexican/swine/H1N1 flu scare…
