In case you haven't heard the good news, Pop'n Music Portable is on its way to the PSP, complete with 9-button mode and the classic art style fans have come to love. Now according to these screenshots spotted on Andriasang, this version also appears to include some kind of story, career or adventure mode as well.
In the gallery you'll see a few shots of Mimi standing on a board game type of map, which you'll presumably have to work your way through in order to unlock new songs and such. That should add a nice layer of depth to the game, and it'll be fun to see what the other characters she meets along the way are up to.
You'll also see that the game retains the familiar Pop'n look while you're actually playing the songs, which should promote a sigh of relief for fans who might have been anxious after seeing the upcoming Wii game. Check it all out and let us know what you think.

How is this good news? If I'm going to play Pop'n Music in 9 button mode (or any mode) I'll do it with my Pop'n Controller. If they're going to make a PSP Pop'n Music, make it something that works for the PSP, like DJ MAX, or Rock Band Unplugged. The last thing I want to do on my PSP is play Pump it Up, because it's just PIU. Same with this.
The good news, however, is that this seems to indicate that Pop'n Music Portable is essentially a port of 15 (the previous PS2 version was 14), so nearly all of the 80 songs are bound to be new stuff from PnM15, as opposed to the usual "best of" music selection found in these portable versions.
