Strikers 1945 Plus Getting A PSP Port?

[wraggster]

A strange rumor is lingering at Play-Asia. They have a listing for Strikers 1945 Plus, which was released as an arcade game almost ten years ago, as a PSP game. If I recall correctly it got a Neo Geo port, but that was about it for Strikers 1945 Plus.

Wiznet, whoever that is, will reportedly release Strikers 1945 Plus in English on the PSP in Asia in February 2009. No word if Strikers 1945 Plus will be released in other regions, but Play-Asia has a pretty good track record for leaks. Perhaps, the PSP will be the new home for Psikyo shooters in the future. In the past Psikyo’s arcade ports have come out for the PlayStation 2 and Dreamcast. X-nauts hasn’t moved on to the Wii, Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 yet.

Localising for that game could be done in an afternoon, there's barely any text in it. So the fact it'd be in Japanese would be almost irrelevant.

Awesome game though, and it took many of my and my co-workers quarters as we competed against each other on our Neo-Geo cabinet.

That would be great, need more side scrolling games on the psp.
