AdhocParty Coming Soon For North America!

November 16, 2009

AdhocParty for PS3 is coming out soon for North America!  If you’re not familiar with what AdhocParty is, it’s an app for the PS3 that allows PSPs to connect to each other via the PlayStation Network.  The Japanese version launched last year and it’s worked out great so far for PSP titles such as Monster Hunter Freedom Unite and DISSIDIA Final Fantasy. Here’s to hoping the English version works out just as well for the upcoming TEKKEN 6 for PSP!  And don’t forget!
