2. It's on my list. Looks like a great game, but very long. 50 hours. I'd recommend it based on what I know.
3. I'm pretty sure it's the same as the PS1 version, but being portable is a huge advantage by itself. Haven't played either though.
4. I have this one and it's amazing.
Bonus:
Yes.

I'll be sure to get Half Minute Hero and Growlanser at some point.

Care to throw out some 2D platformer recommendations?

At first glance this looks like a bit of a spinoff from the Disgaea games? Never played any of them. Can I jump into the Disgaea games at any point?

These Prinny games look kind've interesting... :lol:

I really wish they had put a UMD slot on the Vita. :?

But yeah - the PSP is amazing. The Ys games are mandatory.

they're related only by characters. Disgaea are SRPG's while the Prinny games are sidescroller hack-n-slash games. Very different.

They were one of the key reasons why I was interested in the first place.

A few off the top of my head.

LocoRoco 1/2
Umihara Kawase
n+
castlevania
crush
Mega Mans.
Old game compilations (Sega Genesis, Capcom Classics)

Not too many others I know of right now. There are always PS1 classics...

If you have a PS2 I would recommend getting Ys VI for that platform instead. It's a botched port on the PSP.

I & II, III (Oath in Felghana), and VII are all amazing on the PSP, however.

LocoRoco looks pretty cool.
Would rather stick to the original versions of the Mega Man and Castlevania games.

Yeah, that's what I read.

Just seen there's a Power Stone Collection for PSP!?!? Holy crap, please tell me it's a good port. Would be way cheaper to get this instead of the DC versions.

Also, I've seen these "UMD dual packs" listed as well. Are those just two normal UMD cases packaged together or are both UMD's in one case?
