Namco Bandai to Hit PlayStation Portable with a One-Two Punch in 2009

 
"PlayStation Portable? Now them's fightin' words!" At least, they are if you're Namco Bandai, who has revealed today that they will be bringing not one, but two of their prized fighting game franchises to Sony's portable plaything. IGN revealed that Tekken 6 will be hitting the road alongside its console big brothers this Fall, bringing with it extra stages, items, content, and an ad-hoc multiplayer which will make use of "original" and "fan-favorite" characters. Plus, "he PSP version will also have "Ghost" Infrastructure mode so that a player can upload his or her character data as well as download others' to see how everyone's skills stack up." (link)
