SCEA Marketing Specialist Brian Chou has made available a video and announced that The Eye Of Judgement Legends hits PSP today on PSN.
To quote: Thanks to everyone who has been reading Kumi’s posts about The Eye Of Judgement Legends.
I’m here to announce that the wait is finally over, as the game becomes available for download on PlayStation Network today, March 11! Enjoy the ultimate digital card game experience for the PlayStation Portable system everywhere you go.
As mentioned previously, The Eye Of Judgement Legends features game play based on digital cards that players collect, trade, and use to battle against others.
Fans of the PlayStation 3 system hit, The Eye Of Judgement Legends, will enjoy updated card balancing and new strategies, as well as the ability to easily carry your entire digital card collection with you to build the perfect deck on the fly.
There are over 300 cards to collect, including Rare and Ultra Rare cards to build more unique battle decks! Plus there’s an all new Story Mode created exclusively for the PSP version, where you’ll unfold an epic journey to save the world from the evil Biolith king, Scion.
Check out the trailer for the game!
There are also two multiplayer modes for head-to-head card battles, Ad-hoc and Infrastructure. Ad-hoc mode lets you face off against another player locally over Wi-Fi, as well as trade cards from your collection. Infrastructure mode lets you battle another player online and compares the top scores among players all around the world!
Infrastructure mode also makes global tournaments possible for The Eye Of Judgement Legends. See if you have what it takes to rank among the top players in the world, and observe battle tactics from other players you challenge that may improve your skills for future tournaments.
The first tournament will be held today at 7:00 PM PST, and last until March 18 1:00 AM PST. This will be a great warm-up to the many strategies and approaches to card battles. To even the field, Ultra Rare cards will be restricted from the first tournament.

The original EoJ was the first game I ever got a platinum trophy for.
Having said that, I got this for my psp recently. While the game is still fun, I miss the 'having the actual card' aspect of the game. Half the fun was setting up the board and using the actual cards. The animation was much better on the ps3 as well.
I hope this brings about a revival for the game, and possibly players for the original. The online for the ps3 version is basically dead now
