ESRB lists two handheld Star Wars Battlefront games photo

The ESRB let another cat out of a closely guarded bag. Kotaku recently found two handheld listings for Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron. Due for release on the PlayStation Portable and Nintendo DS(i), the games appear to capture the essence of the Battlefront games -- “presented in a third-person perspective, the game allows players to engage in space, land, and air battles or build troops and upgrade armies in a strategy-based mode.”

The ESRB listing for the Nintendo DS version of the game mentions that players will “experience different battles from the Star Wars universe.” Awesome.

Sadly, we’re guessing that Crytek UK’s (Free Radical’s) sensational Battlefront footage from long ago was not created for the PSP and Nintendo DS. Still, though, a new Battlefront game is on the horizon. Get happy, already!

Glad to hear that Free Radical's closing isn't jacking up the Battlefront series entirely. I've been really impressed with the quality of the portable titles (even if the length was a bit on the short side).

It just means there's portable games to compliment the proper console release. Hopefully.

Cooler would be a full-blown console version. DAMN it.

Screw the handheld systems. Don't let Battlefront 3 die! The air to space flight footage was awesome!

I haven't played Battlefront II, but Renegade Squadron was GREAT. Third best multiplayer game on PSP after Socom series and Resistance. And since I mostly play on the go, i'm really looking forward to this one.

So screw you, I want it portable, hehe :)
