During a recent interview, Bitmap Brothers’ John Phillips was asked if he’d like to bring the recently released XBLA version of Speedball II: Brutal Deluxe to Sony’s PlayStation Network. According to Phillips, a PSN version is indeed on the cards.

That could be on the cards, I think [services like XBLA and PSN are] great. It shows that you can have great games that don’t require the team size and development times of the full-price retail market. As the cost of development is lower we will over the next few years see a great many fantastic games on these formats.

Great news – and a PSN version of E4, which was released along with Speedball this week on XBLA, is likely on the cards as well, since Q Entertainment’s Tetsuya Mizuguchi has stated in numerous interviews that he would like to bring the series to PS3.
