The PSP and DS just can't get enough games, can they now? Actually, no system can get enough games, whether it's a home entertainment device, or a handheld. As such, Hudson Entertainment has recently gone public announcing Dungeon Explorer Warriors of Ancient Arts for North America's owners of Sony PSP and Nintendo DS. The game is set for release early next year.

As you can imagine, each version in particular sports different features, including different storyline, battles, weapons and fighting styles. Practically, they're two totally different games going by the same name. Both, however, will feature the same deep and customizable multiplayer adventuring. Here's some info we've managed to gather
about each title in particular:

Dungeon Explorer Warriors of Ancient Arts for PSP:

-- players are trained in weaponry and mystical forces as Warriors of Ancient Arts, while they embark on a quest to uncover the fate of a legendary kingdom
-- battle demonic forces and monstrous creatures
-- DE: WAA features hundreds of variations of weapons, armor and equipment that can be chosen and upgraded throughout the adventure to defeat enemies
-- players have the ability to choose their warfare style with more than 150 different kinds of fighting arts, including Big Bang Arts
-- three players can team up to triple their destructive power in Ad-Hoc Multiplayer mode.

Dungeon Explorer Warriors of Ancient Arts for DS:

-- the story takes place centuries after the events of the PSP version, as a legend foretells of a hero who will rise to face the threat
-- players find themselves in a land plagued by a legion of undead, monstrous soldiers
-- commanded by the Demon God, the Evil Menace is determined on bringing Westoria Kingdom to its final days
-- rediscover the lost Ancient Fighting Arts of Westoria in order to restore peace to a once sprawling and vibrant kingdom
-- 60 different fighting arts across 8 lost Ancient Fighting Art schools,
-- become a skilled warrior to successfully wage battle against dangerous enemies
-- 3 players can join forces to battle the Demon god's minions via Nintendo's Wireless Connection

"Bringing a classic franchise like Dungeon Explorer to the handheld gaming systems of today continues Hudson's pledge to deliver engaging new content to gamers, while tapping into the nostalgia of the popular series," said John Greiner, President and CEO of Hudson Entertainment. "Dungeon Explorer updates the much loved series with an all-new engaging story and introduces new RPG gameplay elements never before seen in a handheld game."

These are just the first solid details on Dungeon Explorer: Warriors of Ancient Arts for PSP and DS, so stay close for any possible updates until the game becomes available in February 2008.
