The PSP is going to have a better year than the vita

And I for one couldn't be happier. I hope Black Rock Shooter is still coming

Truth, however I'm sure most of us will be playing/buying these via Vita.

KojiKnight · Jan 8, 2013

There are 5 more games in the OP than I thought were coming out. And hooray for a date on the new corpse party!

HyperZone<3 · Jan 8, 2013

I keep hoping somebody will pick up G.Rev's really awesome looking mecha shooter, but so far, no takers for poor Gunhound EX.

OMG Aero · Jan 8, 2013

This is the way the PSP ends. Not with a bang, but with anime.

dallow_bg · Jan 8, 2013

Where are the Western devs?
jk

Great little system. Good life.

Stuart444 · Jan 8, 2013

I'm looking forward to both Digimon Adventure later this month and Sword Art Online: Infinity Moment in March

Kazerei · Jan 8, 2013

I love that the PSP has many niche Japanese games

The OP is filled with examples of why I loved the PSP, so I'm perfectly happy with this. (And none of those outside of BRS are really "anime".)

Maybe a bazillion of visual novels, just look at the japanese cover thread.

Almost as if anime has been the only thing maintaining sales of the system for the last 5 years or so

Riposte · Jan 8, 2013

They are releasing a new Carnage Heart in the US?

Mutt · Jan 8, 2013

Thanks OP! I bought a GoW bundle of off eBay last year to replace my piano black PSP-3000. NIB box but still had the same issue as my old piano black, whitish ring around the edge of the screen plus it has a dead pixel were my old one didn't. They are hard to find in retail stores so I figured I would go online and order it. I read somewhere on eBay after I bought it to never buy them off of eBay because of screen issues. I still love the PSP and maybe I'll give one of the games a go.

Edit: Still waiting for Final Fantasy Type-0.

HammerOfThor · Jan 8, 2013

FF Type-0 should be on that list for US folk

You'll be waiting a long time. Your only real hope is that Squeenix decides to port/update it for Vita.

It does actually still get the occasional Minis release (Jetpack Joyride, Hotel Mogul, War of Sonria). And SCEE published a few kids titles last year (Phineas and Ferb, Geronimo Stilton), so there is some life left, even if it isn't exactly what the GAF crowd is looking for.

That´s the only title I´m interested in, hope it gets a physical release in Japan.

The PSP has done an amazing job of limping along. Who'd have guessed it would make it 8 years?

Shadow of the BEAST · Jan 8, 2013

hasn't that black rock shooter thingy been in development for like forever?

I agree. The minis are not for GAF crowd. People that like to buy cheap games on the go wouldn't be using a PSP in 2013 anyway.

Only 2 more years to go if Kaz Hirai has his way with hardware life of 10 years!

It's already out in Japan. Just been in localization limbo

Was wondering how many posts it would take to get to that. GAF; never disappoints.

Alec · Jan 8, 2013

Holy shit, somehow I hadn't heard that Book of Shadows was getting a localization.

And it's coming in a week?! Hell yes.

idlethreats · Jan 8, 2013

Huh, forgot there was another Hakuoki game coming. I wasn't in love with the first one, so I'm on the fence about a second. Will definitely be picking up Corpse Party: BoS and Class of Heroes 2 though.

It hurts that P2: Eternal Punishment isn't on this list. /sigh

Maybe if your sole interest is niche Japanese games, and even then it'll probably change once the next batch of localization announcements are made.

71+ million units is "limping along?"

Edit: Ah, you mean recent years.

Yeah, that was the last PSP game I was personally interested in, but that's the way the cookie crumbles, I guess. ¯\_(&#12484

Yeah, and I was referring to software. I remember thinking 3 years ago that it seemed like it was practically dead, software wise, but here it is.

Unless you know something we don't it should've hit last year, most likely the year before that. But SE's abandoned PSP unless it's low effort stuff (DD release of FFIII), so we won't be seeing it without a port elsewhere.

Kyonashi · Jan 8, 2013

I really hope we hear some news on Black Rock Shooter soon...

PSP launched in 2004 in Japan. There'll definitely still be PSP games coming out there in 2014. 10 year plan achieved.

ULTROS! · Jan 9, 2013

Looking foward to Corpse Party: Book of Shadows for my Vita.

DiscoJer · Jan 9, 2013

I have hopes of more Elminage games

yurinka · Jan 9, 2013

According to Metacritic, PSP was the platform with the best quality of 2012 games (Minis were counted as PSP games). And in Japan has been getting a number of new games recently. I think it will last a bit more, won't end in 2013 for sure.

JustAnotherOtaku · Jan 9, 2013

I know that this thread is mainly concerned with Western releases, but it's nice to see a few decent looking games coming out in Japan as well such as Heroes Vs, Ultraman All-Star Chronicle and Megpoid the Music.

Shalashaska161 · Jan 9, 2013

I'll totally get Black Rock Shooter if it shows up here. Game looks fun.

i thought it was dead around 07 or 08 but then it had a bit of a comeback whatever year motorstorm GTmobile and LBP came out. It was my favourite system for awhile in 06 or so.

Zee_truly evil · Jan 10, 2013

How do psp games look on the vita? Still have my 3000, is it worth it to upgrade to vita mostly for the psp games?

TheFLYINGManga_Ka · Jan 10, 2013

Black Rock Shooter looks interesting.

They look outstanding really, the screen is something else.

Son of Cervantes · Jan 10, 2013

It's still a vibrant and viable platform in Japan, the total opposite of how it's doing in the US. New PSP titles get continually announced while the Vita is starved for new software. It's incredibly frustrating to me, since I own both a PSP-3000 and a Vita. I find myself playing my PSP more than my Vita!

So...I don't think the PSP will die this year, it has at least a couple of years of life left in Japan.

i'd say the comeback was pretty much thanks to Monster Hunter. that game caused the shift for many devs to make games on the system and the game itself made it do PS2-like numbers and survive the DS.

People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
