Publisher Empire has given us first screenshots of its upcoming remake of the classic Pipe Mania on PSP, as well as revealing a new release date for the game.

You can see how the game will look on PSP for yourself (above) and get an idea of the new themes promised for the remake - such as a slightly spooky-looking one with skulls. Meanwhile the game's release date, which was originally June 20th, has been shunted back to mid-September. So we've unfortunately got a bit longer to wait for our fix of pipe assembling on PSP (and DS too).

We reported that Empire was set to revive the retro franchise Pipe Mania with a remake earlier this year.

The game will feature the classic pipe-laying gameplay of the original but with added new game modes, characters, themes and play mechanics.

We'll hopefully be talking to the game's producer later this week on exactly how Pipe Mania is going to work on both handhelds. So click 'Track It!' to be among the first to hear even more about it then.
