BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger confused and delighted fighting fans when it was released for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, being a fighting game that you couldn't simply pick up, perform Street Fighter-like moves and win. Now Arc System Works is bringing that delightful confusion to the PlayStation Portable with BlazBlue Portable. It features all 12 fighters from the console version of the game, with Ad Hoc fighting for up to four players, along with a new addition in the form of Legion Mode, a territory control game in which you move your character over a map, taking over new areas via rounds of fighting.

BlazBlue Portable is making its way to Japan on February 25th. No word on a North American release, but as long as there's a UMD and you've not upgraded to the PSPgo there's always import shops.

BlazBlue Portable - AUD$55.69 (http://www.play-asia.com/SOap-23-83-24ww-71-9f-49-en-84-j-70-3nqb.html)

I can't imagine playing any fighting game with handheld controls

I do on my PSPGo with Alpa 3 Max. Playing it on a PSP-1000 is a different story, the DPad sucked until the 2000.

This is coming out already and we still don't even have a local release of the original :'(

[igotnewsuper8systemWRONG!]

Or do we? (http://www.pqube.co.uk/product.php?id=63)

Took 5 minutes to fix the d-pad on my PSP-1000, works like a charm.

So no, we don't. Thanks for clarifying.

Eh, I now have TV out and better buttons in general.

[Lazlow]

Yeah but my dick's bigger than your dick.

It's out on March 25, according to EBGames.com.au, although they don't list any release for the PSP version. I somehow managed to secure a super-early (or super-late, depending on how you look at it) review copy of the 360 version - I'm not much of a fighter fan, but my brief play with it so far was a lot of fun.
