In both a press release and an email sent today to its fan newsletter today, Atlus USA has announced that it will be releasing a new game for the Nintendo DS: Tokyo Beat Down. It is where a beat-em-up meets a shoot-em-up as players will take control one of multiple characters to fight their way through Tokyo's seedy underworld to take down Tokyo's ultimate crime boss. If arcade beat-em-up style punches and kicks don't do the job, you can use firearms to mow down enemies.
