Bandai Namco's Mobile Suit Gundam Senjo no Kizuna is one of the most popular arcade attractions over in Japan. But there'll be no need to wait in line to play the next iteration of the series.

According to a an online retail listing, Bandai Namco will be adapting the arcade title to the PSP. The game will be known as Mobile Suit Gundam: Senjo no Kizuna Portable.

While obviously not replicating the virtual-reality feel of the deluxe arcade unit, the PSP version will replicate the team-based play mechanics. The game promises wireless play for up to eight players. Those who do not have their own copy will be able to take part via game sharing.

Bandai Namco has plans for a number of updates to make the game more PSP friendly. The game will be faster, with button-based controls, and will also offer changeable viewpoints. Also in the works is a mission mode, offering solo players a large number of missions ranging from beginner to advanced level.

The retailer lists a March 26 Japanese release for Senjo no Kizuna Portable.

Bandai Namco hasn't formally announced the game yet, but considering that this retailer tends to be pretty reliable and that the PSP has become the must-own machine for Gundam fanatics, expect to hear something in the coming days.
