Front Mission 3 mechs its way to PSP/PS3 via PlayStation Network in Europe
Square Enix is prepping the re-release of Front Mission 3 via the PlayStation Network, perhaps in time for the upcoming Front Mission Evolved. It joins a rather small list of PSone Classics available on PS3/PSP.
Unfortunately, the release has been announced for Europe only, without a release date or a price. We've contacted Square Enix to find out if a North American release will follow.
