Persona 2: Eternal Punishment, which was released this week on PSN as a PSone classic, isn’t compatible with Vita or PSP as of yet. While it’s playable on PS3, Sony said it is working on a fix which will make the game playable on the portable systems, as was promised when it was announced. According to a post on the PS forums from community manager Morgan Haro, “worst case scenario” is that it may be a few weeks before you can take your Persona 2: Eternal Punishment on-the-go. We’ll keep on top of this for you, and as soon as we hear anything more, we’ll let you know. Thanks, Joystiq.

As suggested by an ESRB rating last week, Persona 2: Eternal Punishment arrives on the US PlayStation Store this week. Persona 2 originally released as two interrelated titles for PSOne called Eternal Punishment and Innocent Sin. Only Eternal Punishment was localised at the time, so a PSP port of Innocent Sin headed in 2011. Eternal Punishment also got a PSP port in Japan in May 2012, but according to the PlayStation Blog, the version we’re getting is a PSOne Classic.

Atlus has added a tenth class to its Etrian Odyssey 4: Legends of the Titan website. Mysteriously, while the class’s abilities and role are described, its name has not yet been released, and its known only as “???” for now. A video preview should accompany the name reveal ahead of the 3DS exclusive’s February 26 US release. For now, you can check out the video feature for the Bushi, the most recently detailed class, below the break.
