Soul Eater: Battle Resonance - Image 1


So you think manga-based videogames are a dime a dozen these days, eh? After hordes of DBZ Budokai games and Bleach: Heat the Soul brawlers, in comes Soul Eater: Battle Resonance for the PSP and PS2.

Based on Square Enix's popular manga, Soul Eater is gracing more platforms other than the Wii (Soul Eater: Monotone Princess) and DS (Soul Eater: Medusa's Conspiracy). Though the manga anime may be from Square Enix, it's none other than Namco Bandai taking the helm to deliver this game for the PSP and PS2 on January 29 in Japan.

Specific details are scarce as of yet, and the only thing we know right now is that it's a fighting game with clips of steamy anime tossed in between. The PSP version is confirmed to support ad-hoc mode, while the PS2 version will have a "Soul Theater" that includes 24 story sequences to watch.

More screens and some artwork from Famitsu, if you please:

And if that's not enough, here's an unofficial PSP Soul Eater theme which we found online some time ago.

Source please. :-p



Unless of course you have sources close to Namco Bandai (or Square Enix) then... I believe we're at an impasse.



What ever the case may be, mass media only knows about it now, and it's new. I haven't encountered any reliable source of a PSP Soul Eater game prior to today in Famitsu.

Not really old, Fighters front Line posted this a couple of days ago, but i think it was just a rumor. It's good to see this confirmed =)
