SNK PLAYMORE USA CORPORATION is proud to announce the North and South American release of the nostalgic SNK Arcade Classic IKARI III: THE RESCUE as a PlayStation minis title on PSP (also compatible with PS3), via the "New Releases" category and the "SNK NEOGEO" Featured Publishers page available on the PlayStationStore, from Tuesday, April 24th, 2012.

The SNK minis titles are a commemorative "retro-arcade emulation" project that allows players to enjoy a grand collection of action, shooting, platform, and action/puzzle titles. Many of these nostalgic, highly innovative arcade classics released during SNK's Golden Age of action-shooting, etc. during the 80's, are now exclusively available on PSP and compatible on the PlayStation3 computer entertainment system as well for even greater enjoyment!

The previous sets of titles included some of SNK's arcade masterpieces such as GUERRILLA WAR, PREHISTORIC ISLE, P.O.W. – PRISONERS OF WAR, T.N.K. III, and SEARCH AND RESCUE, along with a number of lesser known, yet revolutionary titles to be enjoyed by both retro gamers and younger generations of players alike.
