What's your Hidden Gems of the PSP? (so far ...)

Post by **4ppleseed** » Thu Feb 07, 2008 4:44 am

I know it's a bit early for a hidden gems of the PSP article but as things stand, what do you think is unappreciated on the PSP? Or got any tips for good JPN import games?

Jeanne d'Arc, for sure. All my customers ignore it to buy Disgaea or FF Tactics, though I (and most of my coworkers) are consistently promoting it. Great SRPG.

Also underappreciated on any platform is the Ys games, though specifically Ys Ark of Napishtim on the PSP, despite it's rather bad slowdown (unless you "overclock" the PSP).

Talkman is fun - I have the English/Japanese/Chinese/Korean version.

These games are why I want to buy a PSP. Also I would still recomend FF Tactics and Disgaea, because I know severel people who've played through both and really liked them. And the new-ish Castlevania Chronicles which has Castlevania SOTN and Rondo of Blood. Great games on the PS1 and Saturn, and I've heard they are decent versions.

I don't think that that particular version is available in Australia or if it is then its hard to find. I'd really like that actually.

Anyways, as said the Ys and Jean Darc are great games. Breath of Fire III and Tales of Eternia are only available in PAL regions and are both worth an import. Tales of Eternia especially.

Yeah theres a heap of great PSP titles that I could list but its been so long since I've paid attention to these sorts of titles on the PSP's. I use to be fanatic about them. I'll do some digging around and see what I can remeber.

Though I don't have a PSP I've heard good things about Crush, a puzzle platformer with Super Paper Mario like mechanics from Sega. It didn't do so well sales-wise though, so I definitely count it as a hidden gem.

Hmmm...okay then. I wrote up an article which has a few of these games in it. Lets see, heres a couple:

Talkman
Every Extended Extra
Mercury Meltdown
Traxxpad
Lemmings

BTW Crush is an excellent suggestion.

Thats all that I can think of ATM. I'll try and think of some more soon.

Not hidden, but underappriciated I thought were the Metal Gear Ac!d games.

I've heard good things about Exit.
It looks very nice.
