With what looks to be one of the final PSP releases that will be of much interest to anyone, SNK has this slated for a Japanese release for the PSP on April 21st.

It was rated by the ESRB in late 2009, but SNK hasn't said if it was coming stateside since. Given the state the PSP is in at this time in North America and the long gestation period for this title, this looks to be something everyone can count on not coming stateside. But with the import friendly nature of both the PSP itself and the included content, it shouldn't be much of a problem for anyone that is interested.

It's developed by G1M2, known for some of the better recieved SNK compilations of years gone by. Here is the case insert, a trailer, and the game list.

Included games:

Ikari Warriors (1986)
Dogosoken (1986)

Athena (1986)

Nice to finally see some attention given to the real gems of SNK's library of classics. I just wish there hadn't been licensing issues with Vanguard. I'd of loved to finally have gotten a proper arcade port of that at long last.
