Midway Announces Three for PSP
NBA Ballers, Mortal Kombat, and more on the way.

In an exclusive announcement to 1UP today, Midway has revealed that three of its most popular franchises -- Mortal Kombat, NBA Ballers, and Midway Arcade Treasures -- are headed to the PSP.

Mortal Kombat: Deception (work ing title), feature-wise, will be almost identical to its console brothers, with online play, Konquest and Puzzle Kombat modes, interactive backgrounds, and more than one fatality for each fighter. It is scheduled to hit stores in Winter 2005.

NBA Ballers (working title) for PSP also looks to be similar to the console game, with the same focus on player cribs and lifestyle features, along with the return of the one-on-one gameplay that made the console game work so well. Players can also expect wireless multiplayer play, though the game won't ship until 2006.

Midway Arcade Treasures (working title) for PSP takes a best-of approach to the series, pulling in retro games from various MAT console versions. In addition to five single-player only games, MAT PSP will include 16 games playable over the PSPs wireless connection. The complete roster is as follows: Spy Hunter (single-player), Sinistar (single-player), Defender (single-player), Paperboy (single- player), 720 (single-player), Klax, Joust, Marble Madness, Toobin', Rampage (3-player), Gauntlet (4-player), Rampart (3-player), Wizard of Wor, Xybots, Championship Sprint, Arch Rivals, Cyberball 2072, Xenophobe (3-player), Mortal Kombat, Mortal Kombat II, and Mortal Kombat 3. MAT PSP is scheduled for release in Winter 2005.

The rest of Midway's E3 lineup includes: Blitz: The League, Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows, L.A. Rush, Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks, The Suffering: Ties That Bind, Ed, Edd & Eddy: The Mis-Edventures, Rise & Fall: Civilizations at War, and Unreal Tournament 2007. With the exception of Unreal (which is due in 2006), all of these are on the way in the latter half of 2005.
