Banpresto today shed some light on its second PlayStation Portable title, Magna Carta Portable. Compared to the PlayStation 2 release, the handheld version of Softmax's critically acclaimed RPG will feature several visual adjustments to fit on the PlayStation Portable's widescreen. Furthermore, Banpresto will implement a gallery mode as well as new costumes for some characters and new hair and skin colors. The developers are also working on enhancing the game's detect mode to make it easier to use for players. Additional gameplay-related changes are apparently in the works.

Magna Carta Portable will be available in Japan later this year. Meanwhile, the game's PlayStation 2 version will hit American retail store shelves next month.
