*Holds up "hacked" PSP which contains downloaded games*

Yeah, I wasn't too surprised by this. It's a shame, because I like the PSP, but the DS just crushes it.

Seems as if Nintendo will forever dominate the handheld gaming market.

Throbbing Mob · 12-31-2008, 06:25 AM

Fine by me, as long as it keeps getting killer games like NSMB, Castlevania, and Mega Man ZX.

I REALLY HATE POKEMON! · 12-31-2008, 05:29 PM

I think having options open, and a rival to keep Nintendo sharp is a good thing.

^^I always got a headache when I played Mega man ZX.

The problem with the PSP is that it is always under so much criticism even though it's capabilities were far superior in terms of graphics and gameplay in certain games. I am, however, guilty of hacking my PSP. The things you can do with it are amazing though. I have a Universal Remote program for it and can control any TV anywhere pretty much provided the brand is under the list. PSP was the first handheld system to have a built-in web browser and the first to take advantage of the SD card capabilities. Note that Sony didn't get any praise for these new features but with the new DSi coming out that Nintendo has gotten many excited. The touchscreen may seem really cool and stuff but the games are much shorter than those on the PSP.

I don't know....it's just my personal opinion. I like the games on the PSP better but I can see why people are relunctant to buy it considering Nintendo has more experience in the handheld market and because of the higher prices.

Watch how easy it will be to hack a DSi since they are going to add in firmware downloading software.

people hack dses all the time you could put internet on it before they released the browser.

That's part of the problem: it's supposed to be the playstation portable. Long/console games don't directly appeal to the touch-and-go kind of market.

The PSP just didn't have many good games. Besides FF, FFII, FF Tactics, FF Dissidia, and Battlefront: Renegade Squadron, there wasn't much else.

Black Belt Tazy · 01-12-2009, 12:47 PM

WUT ABOUT PRINNIES?!?!?!

Famke · 05-12-2009, 09:25 PM

A very good post and certainly these are points really useful.

Metal Man · 05-13-2009, 01:50 AM

The new PSP Go suggests it won't die yet, but rather the UMD format is doomed.

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Liberty City Stories
God of War: Chains of Olympus
Gradius Collection
Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus
Puzzle Quest
Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max
Monster Hunter Freedom series
Me and My Katamari
Yggdra Union
Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops
Castlevania Dracula X Chronicles (Includes an updated Rondo of Blood and original, plus redubbed Symphony of the Night with some Saturn extras)
Tales of Eternia
Tekken Dark Resurrection
Valkyrie Profiles: Lenneth

That's just from my old list that /v/ compiles in order to shut up people that say "THERE ARE NO GOOD GAMES ROFFFLE". I didn't even list them all, there's still quite a few left on there. That's just a nice taste to tell you to, um, shut up.

Plus, there's more to life than Final Fantasy. I know, it's hard to accept.

Black Belt Tazy · 05-13-2009, 10:16 AM

Sometimes, I hate choosing a DS over a PSP because I can't get my hands on Rachet and Clank, That Prinny Platformer (as hard as it looks), Dissidia, and another Kingdom Hearts game....

Then I look at my DS and see Pheonix Wright, Chrono Trigger, and Castlevania....

I'm not spending any more money on any more systems unless the PSP releases something I utterly need.

I REALLY HATE POKEMON! · 05-13-2009, 03:14 PM

If the PSP Go erases the need for UMDs, what the hell happens to PSP owners? No backward compatability or what? It's screwed up.

At the very least, it better have awesome graphics and features to compensate, along with a reasonable price tag.

^^ It took a while for the first PSP to have a reasonable price tag. I only got the Daxter package because it came bundled with a memory stick. The Daxter game is alright, but still.

^ YES. The second Radiant Mythology was loads better than the first one.

Too bad it never got released here.

Metal Man · 05-15-2009, 01:20 PM

People with UMDs will just get gypped.

That's the Sony way!

Black Belt Tazy · 05-15-2009, 01:21 PM

UMD's were just a lame excuse to make PSPs an exclusive format.

Besides, everybody knows Cartridges are superior to tiny discs.

Actually, it's not. PS3 and PS2 were both backward-compatible, so breaking the trend with their PSP would be a new low.
