Electronic Arts has announced the release of EA Sports Big NBA Street Showdown and EA Sports FIFA Soccer for the PSP handheld entertainment system.

Developed specifically for the new PSP platform, NBA Street Showdown and FIFA Soccer include original game modes that can be enjoyed in single player, turn-based Party Play, or in wireless head-to-head multiplayer. FIFA Soccer also offers players the capability to watch music videos when not hooked on playing the game.
