KOEI has announced that Gitaroo Man Lives! is set to rock out on North American PSP's on November 14, 2006.

"Packed with a quirky mix of Japanese pop art, lovable characters, and addicting musical death matches, the original Gitaroo Man became a certified intergalactic cult classic and was recognized for its innovation for music and gaming," said Amos Ip, Senior Vice-President of Sales & Marketing for KOEI Corporation. "With the upcoming PSP version's all- new Duet Mode gamers can jam to previously unreleased Gitaroo songs Metal Header and Toda Pasion."

Gitaroo Man Lives! is an updated version of the original Gitaroo Man PS2 rhythm game cult-classic optimized for portable play. New songs will make a debut, as will an all-new Duet Mode. Support for up to two players is also on the way in the Ad Hoc wireless Vs. Mode.
