Last fall and this spring were awesome for the PSP, but there is next to nothing this year and the only major first party game I can think of is Resistance.

Post by: ananus on December 10, 2008, 01:22:31 PM: there's the prinny game on february.

http://www.gamefaqs.com/portable/psp/releases.html

you can filter by region if you want though it only shows the games for the next quarter. on japan there's a lot more upcoming games but it's mostly shovelware.

Post by: Mr. Gundam on December 10, 2008, 01:31:50 PM: I've bought a ton of new Japanese PSP games in the last six months (Gundam Battle Universe, Gundam vs. Gundam, Super Robot Wars A Portable, Power Pro 2008, Ikkitousen, Macross Ace Frontier, Kenka Banchou 3), but only one North American title (Star Ocean)....
Title: Re: is the psp software wise dead?
Post by: bork on December 10, 2008, 01:36:50 PM: I'm still playing/have yet to start stuff from the last couple of months.

Don't forget about Musou Orochi 2 (Warriors Orochi 2) which is out in Japan, and Dynasty Warriors Strike Force and Tenchu 4 which are hitting the PSP in Japan in February. Phantasy Star Portable is hitting the States in March.

I tried the Prinny game out but didn't really like what I played. Seemed slow and BOOOOORING. Incredibly basic level design, yuck.

Midnight Club LA Remix is an awesome PSP game. I DL'd it but will be picking it up at some point. I need to get the console version, speaking of which.

Post by: Don Flamenco on December 10, 2008, 01:40:24 PM: I've owned a couple different PSPs (as I switch back and forth between it and the DS...) and the outlook always seems bleak. I wish I knew Japanese. The only games of interest are Agito and Dissidia.
Title: Re: is the psp software wise dead?
Post by: Mr. Gundam on December 10, 2008, 02:52:38 PM: I can only think of the following worthwhile games coming to North America: Star Ocean 2, FFXIII Agito, Phantasy Star Portable, Dissidia, Prinny, Parasite Eve and Resistance.
Title: Re: is the psp software wise dead?
Post by: recursivelyenumerable on December 10, 2008, 02:59:34 PM: We don't really know anything about 3rd Birthday though. It might be good, but there's no particular reason to think it will or won't be. But I was never a PE fan.

so my PSP list consists of

Metal Gear Ac!d 2 (already own)
Disgaea (already own)
Wild Arms XF (if I can find it)
Agito (probably, depending on info and impressions)
mayyyyybe Dissidia and/or 3rd Birthday, depending on impressions. Probably not Crisis Core though.
maybe the other Metal Gears

any other recommendations?

I don't know what your tastes are, but judging by the number of stratRPGs that you have I bet you would enjoy Jeanne Darc. It's probably my favorite game on the system.

Some other games that are worth a play:
Ratchet
Daxter
Crisis Core
Brave Story
Killzone

I am also currently playing through Gurumin and it is pretty good so far.

Post by: tiesto on December 10, 2008, 03:07:13 PM: Every Extend Extra, most underrated game on the system
Title: Re: is the psp software wise dead?
Post by: recursivelyenumerable on December 10, 2008, 03:12:02 PM: It's not so much that I'm a big SRPG fan, more that those particular games look interesting.
