A wild and crazy first day. It was actually the lightest in regards to our schedule, with not many appointments set up, but we were still buzzing around like crazy.

Great guys, those two.

The game will make use of Nintendo's new online network, although playablity over the Internet was not 100% confirmed. Said Yoichi Wada, president of Square Enix,"The Revolution may embody a new platform beyond a portable or console, which makes possible a new structure in the network gaming system, changing the ways communities are built and supported. This is the kind of direction we've envisioned, and we will challenge ourselves to provide immersive interactive content in response to what Nintendo offers."

    The PC and console shooter will find its way onto Sony's PSP.

For instance, action is broken up into mini-campaigns for quick playability. Four player coop and online versus modes will be included. Also revealed at the show is Street Fighter Alpha 3 for the PSP, considered one of the best in the series. It was shown only in trailer-form, so not much is known at this point. Finally, SCEE said they're bringing Lemmings to the PSP, in development by Worms developers Team 17.
