Redwood City, Calif. -- Electronic Arts on Friday announced the slate of six titles it will offer for Sony's PSP handheld gaming system when it launches in the U.S. in March. The Redwood City, Calif.-based developer will offer "MVP Baseball," "FIFA Soccer," "Need for Speed Underground Rivals," "Tiger Woods PGA Tour," "NBA Street: Showdown" and "NFL Street 2: Unleashed." Separately, the company announced that "EA Sports Rugby 2005" is currently under development at Canada-based HB Studios for release in the spring for PlayStation 2, Xbox and the PC. The game will incorporate all major rugby teams and tournaments, including the Tri-Nations and Super 12.
