New FMA PSP Game in the Works

Namco Bandai is developing a new Fullmetal Alchemist game for PSP (even though Square Enix owns the rights). The game, based on the uber-popular manga and anime series, will be a two-on-two fighting game and rather than being a port or remake, it's a brand new game. The title is Fullmetal Alchemist: Senaka wo Takuseshi Mono and it will be out in Japan on October 15. There is no word yet on whether the game will appear outside Japan, but FMA has a large fanbase in North America and Europe, too, so there is some hope.
