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.
