The PSP / PlayStation Portable was awesome, Sony's handheld was the closest anyone ever got to sharing the space with Nintendo's Game Boys and DS(es) and I love the thing. Anyways it somehow got around 2000 games, SO HERES A BUNCH OF ONES TIME MIGHT HAVE FORGOTTEN.

    New Dr. Squatch customers receive 3 FREE SOAPS when you purchase the Buy3Get3 bundle at drsquatch.com/austin If you ever wanted to try Dr. Squatch, now is the perfect time! Apologies if some of the audio sounds off *again* in this video. Right after my trip I caught the plague at a bowling alley and it knocked me out for dang near two weeks. HOWEVER, we're back in the saddle now. I'm really excited for what we're doing over the next month and a half and I hope you enjoy watching it! Also, what's your favorite PSP Game? Legit mine is probably one of the many many extremely solid remakes. BUT, I will play Jeanne d'Arc ANYDAY.

    The PSP will forever hold a place in my heart, I grew up poor so I never had much; I went into school and a few kids had it and I was so upset I didn’t, I cried when I got home and my dad asked me what’s wrong, I told him about the PSP and he bought it for me the next month as a surprise, he worked extra shifts that entire month just so he could buy it for me, my father passed away this year ❤

Heck, you could use it as an mp3 player and even watch movies on it... back then! Sony has the tech and the money. They should make a PSP 2 to compete with the Steam Deck.

    Work Time Fun is more of a WarioWare style game, and I love it! I spent countless hours playing the game, trying to unlock all of the minigames via the Gachapon machines. Honestly, with Sony putting PS1 and PSP games on PS4 and PS5, I hope it comes to the consoles eventually, so I can do it all again! Also, the Ramen Timer in that game is meme worthy as all holy hell. Plus, the cover art looks like the character Dr Tran from MondoMedia, which is what initially brought the game to my attention, since I loved those shorts when I was a teen.

    It’s so awesome hearing someone talk about how amazing, and a bit strange, the PSP is. It’s my second favourite console of all time (only behind the Vita which is just the PSP deluxe and running a psp emu on it makes it a two in one) and people really don’t talk about how awesome it was and honestly still is. The reference to Pangya truly made my day. It’s one of my favourite games of all time, having played it when I was as young as three. Seeing Fat Princess here too was just amazing, I adore Fistful of Cake so much and I always go back to it when I just want to have some quick fun.

    One of my fav PSP games I hardly hear anybody talk about is Fate/Extra. (Its characters certainly haven't been forgotten, Nero is EVERYWHERE in Japan thanks to F/GO) It's an excellent visual novel with a neat little rock paper scissors dungeon crawler tacked on. It has one of the most consistently BANGIN soundtracks I've ever heard with that sweet electronic jazz. It's got a remake that's been in development forever, hopefully that'll be a great way for people to finally check it out.

    _Fate/Extra_ has a couplethree sequels. One was an RPG set between, IIRC, the prologue and main game proper, and then a series of Dynasty Warrior clones (that were so delayed that they were supposed to introduce a character who had shown up in _F/GO_ years earlier.) I'd also argue that introducing Elizabeth Bathory was arguably more impactful; Nero is just another Saber clone (and a bait-and-switch for the low information consumer.)

Apparently, there is a remake in the works for this game, but screenshots seem to suggest that it uses a different combat system.

    Motorstorm: Arctic Edge was pretty rad. It was a full proper Motorstorm game on a handheld, and the snow theme made it feel like a distinct entry and not just a watered down handheld spinoff. Despite being on the weakest hardware, I think it's the second best in the series, behind Pacific Rift. Also Resistance Retribution is worth mentioning alongside Killzone Liberation. I remember it being one of the more successful attempts at doing a traditional shooter on the PSP.

Weird gameplay mechanics and story that makes ZERO sense and a little too much inappropriate fanservice. Still absolutely loved that game. Also been using Dr. Squatch exclusively for about 3 years now :) great stuff!

    Two of my big favorites on PSP are Jeanne D'Arc and Hot Shots Golf: Open Tee. (I didn't play Pangya on PSP but on PC when it was known as Albatross 18). Jeanne D'Arc is made by Level-5, who made Dark Cloud and Dragon Quest VIII. It's a fun strategy RPG that is quick to pick up for newbies of the genre as it doesn't go very deep into detail but it's still great fun.

    I wasn't super into the PSP, but I *did* have a chance to try a hidden gem by the name of Crush. It's a puzzle-platformer that's like a combination of Super Paper Mario's 2D/3D flipping mechanic and Fez's perspective rotation, and yet it actually predated both of those games. It's also got this really striking "dark/twisted comic book" visual style, and the music uses all kinds of wild distortion effects, which really suits the idea of going into the main character's mind to find the root of his issues and quite literally collect his lost marbles. It definitely flew under the radar, and I don't think the developers at Zoe Mode worked on many other titles besides it.

It was a 3D puzzle platformer where you had to rotate the level to get to certain areas, kind of like in Fez. Echochrome and Echoshift were also really nice puzzle games with a very minimalist art style. Psp also had many great racing games, such as Burnout games, Gran Turismo and Motorstorm Arctic Edge.

    Sunday Versus Magazine is probably my most played PSP game (via emulator of course) after like Birth By Sleep. It's a surprisingly fun traditional fighter that has some reeeeally crusty jank and a lot of SICK character choices.

    The DJ Max series for the PSP was one of my go2 for rhythm game alongside Patapon and Loco Roco. The Gundam Vs Gundam series was also another great arcade game. It had so many gundams from different eras battling out. Massive boss fights and even co-op so you can play with a friend. If I wanted to scratch my racing itch it would be Rockstar's Midnight Club LA Remix, with that free roam world and street races alongside the decent soundtrack. But of course Monster Hunter series was the game I spent the most on. Just hearing *Pokke village* soundtrack and *Proof of a hero* hits me with so much nostalgia.

    As far as forgotten PS2 games go, I do feel like RAD Robotic Alchemical Drive is one of them, it was published by Enix before they got absorbed by Square Soft and it's an example of a hidden gem on one of the most biggest consoles ever. Another I can think of is Cold Fear and The Thing game, cause Survival Horror was quite vast on the PS2, including some that fell off the radar and don't get talked about much.

    oh my GODS I am so glad you mentioned Coded Arms (and its sequel), I loved those. My personal PSP favourite probably has to go to Ace Combat X, a surprisingly well designed portable version of the Ace Combat formula; Medievil Resurrection is also a rather lovely ambitious remake on the original game. Some aren't a fan of the added mascot character of sorts though, but I do enjoy the narration from Tom Baker.

    PSP to this day is my favorite console. Tragically fragile system, lost 1 to a drop and my other to being broke in the late 00's and selling my collection. Unbeatable game library that I believe in retrospect is truly more well rounded than ANY other console. That's not to mention the amazing feature set, it was the one solution to being on the go. mp3s for the walk, videos for the train, games for a lunch break all on one device BEFORE the smart phone.

    First I'd like to do a big shoutout to the legend that is Dark_Alex. Loved that thing. Bought a japanese PSP-1000 with 1.5 firmware off of ebay back then. With few "modifications" it could be turned into your personal entertainment center. Used to carry it around everywhere to listen to music, watch movies, emulate stuff and play all those great games of course. Had to retire it couple of years ago, after the analog sticks broke and the battery pack literally cracked...wasn't worth it anymore to replace stuff unfortunately.

    Gladiator: The Beginning, is a great PSP game that I played a lot that is a completely hidden gem. It's an arena brawler with multiple ending, that allows you to use anything in the arena as a weapon, including the armor you dismantle from your enemies mid combat. You can then upgrade these "weapons" to actually be really deadly lol. It's a great game.

I saw the box in the game store and I remember being super excited by thinking of playing a sequel to this massive franchise... when home I put the mini Cd in the PSP and when starts I begin to realize is a card strategy game... (before that there was nothing that I could hate more). I was destroyed so I left it hoklding for a while until I didn't have anything to play... When really getting into to it I've completely change my mind...That game made me addicted.. somehow they manage to make a great card game with MG... at the end is Kojima game... in the few past days after years ... I'm playing MG acid 2 for the first time.. I didn't know about... I'm back excited like a kid !!!!!
