I dunno if the PSP has enough juice to emulate the N64.
But NES/SNES/Genny/arcade should be feasible.

Can someone think up of a PSP game worth buying?

yeh see this is where my brain fails me . i see the machine and go 'i want it' ... then... 'but what do i want to play on it? - nothing as yet.. *looks back at machine* 'but i want it'
and so on and so forth
its a battle i know i must lose Only games I find interesting so far are Ridge Racer, Metal Gear Acid and Minna no Golf. And I agree that Metal Gear Acid could be a surprise title. On the plus side is the almost total lack of any hype (compared to other MGS titles, for example). And well, the concept seems more suitable for handheld gaming. I wouldn't want to watch codec dialogue and cutscenes for 10 mins if I'm to play a handheld MGS. A turnbased game seems more reasonable, we'll see how the balance between gameplay and story turns out.

I always thought it might be cool if they made an MGS game just centered on boss-fights/duels.
You could have scenarios like trying to hunt your foe down in a swamp or bamboo field. Kind of like a death match I suppose, but with MGS mechanics.

And even i am moderately surprised
"How much knowledge are we talking about"
forming words from characters, and sometimes thinking ahead (some of the empty tiles move and you have to create larger words from more characters)
some levels are easy (just create the same word over and over in a grid, say , 8 times)
some are very hard (whole segments rotate and you have to create 4+ character words.

Puzzle Bobble is about all I can go with here for myself as I'm in the same boat. I'm a little weary about a PSP purchase of it as well, as I'm sure it's only a matter of time before a DS one is announced. But other than that, I can't find a title I want yet. Hopefully the US launch won't be nearly a mirror of this one.
Ridge Racers - haven't been disappointed in anything titled ridge racer from Namco yet (well maybe 4 a little).
Minna no golf - Tiger woods is fun, but this is funner
Any idea if Metal Gear Acid will be very text heavy?
Not sure about puzzle bobble and puyo, simply because they are on every bloody platform, and its not exactly state of the art. Do I want them again?

Actually I take back my last post. I finally went through and really looked at the titles set for launch. Vampire Chronicle really has me interested and it's definitely something that makes me want to get the system. I've always been a casual 2D fighter fan, and it just looks snazzy. I know so little about the series though, but I hope there's a chance of it making it here at launch as well.
But from that list, I gotta go with Vampire Chronicle and Puzzle Bobble, which is more than enough to keep me busy for a while.

If you prefer Nintendo style games, why would anyone's additional insight really change your perception of the games? Honestly, I don't think the launch line-up is that great. I'll get the Metal Gear game and Hot Shots golf to start probably. Maybe Ridge Racer if it's decent. But much like the consoles, in a year or so, I suspect the Sony system will have a far more interesting choice of games than their competition.
Not exactly... from what I understand it's more a compilation/mish mash of the previous RRs. For what it's worth, Namco insists it's a "new game"... but they're saying the same thing about RRDS. :/SolidSnakex said:
Not that it matters, I'll be picking up Ridge Racers at US launch (and avoiding that DS travesty).

Lumines. Done.
if ridge racers contains the rave racer tracks, i think i might prefer that to an entirely new game. but the arcade racing scene has been so dismal lately that i'd be grateful for practically any ridge racer at all. practically. i still fart in the general direction of the ds version.
and while this thread is a thinly disguised troll, i encourage everyone to try hot shots golf. it's the best game ever. and requires no appreciation of golf to enjoy.

I think the PS2 has a far more diverse line-up than the GC. I suspect, if it initially does ok, that the PSP will end up the same. I don't claim this as fact. There's no solid evidence that what is true of the consoles will be true of the handheld, I just suspect it will be.
Even though the PSP is getting ports/remakes like crazy, it's already showing the support the system has with the likes of Capcom, Namco, Konami, Square Enix, Koei, etc. on board. Look at the DS launch. There's already a lack of third party titles that are going to be available for it; it's just like how it is with the GC and PS2 now. PSP already looks to be getting more support.
I pre-ordered a PSP, memory stick, Vampire Chronicle, Lumines, Shin Sangoku Musou, and Ridge Racer. Metal Gear Acid is probably not going to be very English-friendly, so I'll wait for the U.S. release (if the game is actually worth it anyway, that is). I might pre-order Minna No Golf; still not sure yet....depends on how much cash I can save up between now and December.
The two must-buys for me are Vampire Chronicle and Ridge Racer, with Shin Sangoku Musou in a close third.
So, with PSP priced this low guys, what do you think? Is Nintendo going to be in trouble now?

I dont think they're in trouble at all. PSP is already giving sort of a Game Gear vibe. Big system, battery hog. Even with the relatively low price. I dont think it's gonna go over too well with handheld crowd.
I'm questioning whether I should buy a PSP too. The hardware is just so damn hot that i just may buy it even though none of the games really interest me. The only game that does interest me is that Dark Stalkers/Vampire Savior game but it was announced that Capcom is making a VS game for PS2 now. I'd rather play my games on a console than on a handheld (however, I am buying an NDS for the Mario 64 NDS game (never owned it because i liked the series in 2d, but enjoyed it so i might as well buy it)). Everything else looks like a downgraded Playstation series game (Metal Gear card game? ugh. A non-action Armored Core game? feh) or port (Ridge Racer).
Course, it only "looks" like they maybe ports or downgraded versions and may come out to be something really special (still hate the MG card game though) when they actually come out.
Hopefully, a game does come out that i may like... to give me an excuse to buy this tempting machine.

Woah, DS is getting a Vandal Hearts?
As for the PSP, I will definitely buy the thing once a few good RPGs come out for it.

Well I can say that PSP went from auto-preorder for the JPN launch to wait til the US launch for better games.
jarrod said:
Well, save for Tales of Eternia (Then again, Namco is making an RPG for the DS... Of course, they have quite a few RPG franchises, and since they simply said it was a new RPG, it'll probably be something new, not a franchise) and Metal Gear Acid.

What I really want is that duck translator thing.
Wait, Makai Wars is a SRPG? Why didn't anyone fucking say so?
See, all these people calling me a troll are too busy being babies to answer a simple question.
FACT: I am interested in PSP's hardware.
FACT: None of the games announced SEEM to interest me.
WHY I MADE THIS THREAD: To see what other people are interested in to see if I overlooked something.
