I hope you don't plan on buying Red Hot Rumble.
It's a piece of trash.
360 fans need to calm down. The 360 and PSP are the worst platforms at this time because they don't have the userbase to make good sales. Sorry if it hurts your feelings, but its true. But I'm not surprised. The excellent stuff for PS3 and DS will be unveiled at E3 where they can get maximum effect. They won't neglect the market leaders, but they want to support all platforms.

That's BS. Tekken was just announced FYI, and Namco has alot of other games in development too. Konami is a very strong supporter as well. And even if most of Capcom/Namco/Konami's killer app games are ports, they're damn awesome ports, and things like Powerstone 1&2 or Suikoden1&2 are just really damn good deals.
And I agree completely. This conference make Nintendo fans am cry.
Edit: woops, I kinda missread that post... yeah Capcom does seem to be supporting PSP the most. but still, I hate hearing that PSP doesn't have a good future line up (even though that doesn't apply to the above post). The truth is it has a very bright future no matter what your tastes. Same with the DS.

To be quite honest, while his view might not match yours, he has a right to state an opinion based on fact rather than pure assumption
If hes believe that Cap is making the same old mistakes, well its an established fact. Again, no pure assumption.
In the end, your comment just does nothing but remind me of the amount of ignorance that exist on this board. If anything, its almost like being around pre-schoolers.

Yeah but there isn't really one developer on the PSP that's really stood up and taken the system. Namco and Konami's support seems to be more intermittent, and with Winning Eleven going DS, I think you'll see more Konami support for the DS given its monsterous Japanese userbase.
Truth is, on the DS, between Nintendo and Square-Enix, Capcom would probably just get lost in the mix.
PSP is a better option for them at this point in time.

These are great ports though, nobody is complaining. Plus there is Goku Makaimura.
PSP is the star of the show, shame about the lack of DS support. At least we get a new Megaman and Phoenix Wright.

I hope so, DMC4 + MGS4 will make me buy a PS3, but at this rate I'll have to try and settle for more average games or buy a 360 as well. I'm definitely no hardcore gamer, sorta just a gamer since I'm no casual either since I actually play all the games I buy and master them as best I can, but I'm not a hardcore gamer who spends all his cash on gaming devices, and I'm not a millionaire either so I have to consider other things to buy as well. But that doesn't mean I want the console without the best offering either. It's probably the wisky talking right now, but I think all this exclusivity crap is getting ridiculous with next generation.trmas said:

I really wouldn't count on anything for the DS at E3, at least nothing big. I expect to see alot more PS2/3/P announcements as usual...
Prine said:
Agree. Capcom has been kicking some ass lately. I just wish everyone could afford or have access to all systems out there. There would be a hell of a lot less whining or bitching during these announcements. Granted I doubt it would be completely gone, but at least it would be less. Can't wait till E3 :lol

I'm sure Capcom has got everyone covered up somehow. Just one after the other... people need to calm down. :lol
Please stop calling them ports. Most of these titles are recreated from the ground up to take advantage of the PSP hardware (Powered up, Maverick Hunter, UG&G, Monster Hunter Freedom, etc.). Puzzle Fighter, RHR and Powerstone are the only real ports and hopefully they'll be good ones.

According to that Famitsu article one of Sony's goals for this year is to get more online games for the PSP.

I hope by kicking ass, you don't mean the PSP ports. RE4, Lost Planet, Dead Rising, DMC3SE, and hell, I'll settle for the Mega Man remakes as klcking ass. But these PSP ports don't kick ass, at least enough to make a whole event out of it.
That said, Capcom needs to port CV to PSP ASAP.
EDIT: They still haven't shown MMAC on GBA.

Funny you didn't include RE DS in there...
Considering the amount of people that are excited for the so called "ports", then yes I would say they are kicking ass. Since I play my PSP more then my Dreamcast (which is now boxed up to make room) a Power Stone Collection is awesome. Ultimate G and G is awesome. A Capcom puzzle collection including Super Puzzle Fighter 2 is perfect for a widescreen handheld is awesome.
If people want to try to downplay these "ports" though you better hope you aren't caught hyping all the FF ports to DS and GBA. Hate to see anyone labeled a hypocrite you know.
*remembers Square-Enix FF announcements from awhile back and insuing thread*
Whoops, too late.
Uh, the FF game for the DS isnt a port, same goes for Children of Mana game for the DS.
As for this conference, it is a little shady that they said nothing for the DS, as the Capcom I know supports all platforms regardless of how well the respective platforms are doing. E3 to show something?
Anyway i am kind of pissed off at capcom right now, I can't get my hands on PW

That's because REDS isn't my definition of Capcom kicking ass. However, a new RE game would.
I've actually got very little problems with ports. I understand their necessity for any and all videogame systems and I've been happy with Nintendo's offerings on GBA and Capcom's recent remake of RE on DS. But when ports/remakes/adjustments make up a sizable percentage (I'm gonna say 60%, don't quote me on that) of your lineup for a handheld system, then there's something wrong. The fact Capcom threw an event for this is almost insulting. If I were a journalist and had to fly out to Vegas, I simply would have wasted my time.

Well, you are certainly entitled to your opinion but I only see a couple of you right now exclaiming it. And so far it's been a tag team effort in each psp thread. We understand both you and jj984jj's position and there is no further need to repeat it ad nauseum in each thread so you can stop now and let the bunch of people that ARE excited and plan on BUYING these games to discuss them.
Thanks.

Nope.
Thinking back, it's interesting how Capcom USA-driven this event was, minus Okami and, technically, VJ PSP. Most of the PSP games and SFAA seem to be handled by Capcom USA instead of Capcom Japan, although I could be wrong. Inafune, who was at the event, has also been adamant about globalization of games. His train of thought shows with the development of Onimusha 3 in a French city with Jean Reno, and Shadow of Rome. I think this might be the beginning of Capcom opening bigger ties with the west than they already have. While the 360 games are Japanese developed, they're not really meant for Japanese gamers apparently.
I have an honest question, guys:
Why is it that almost all PSP ports seem to be met with excitement and positivity, while any and all Nintendo handheld ports seem to be met with mixed or positive responses at first, and then become negative?
I honestly don't understand why people can get so excited over PSP ports, yet criticize the SNES & NES ports for the GBA and the Mario 64 port for the DS (and vice-versa).

GaimeGuy said:
That's the thing, as Ponn said, people rejoiced over the FF ports on GBA probably moreso than these games (owing to FF's bigger fanbase for sure).
I honestly think it just depends on the game. I also think that the port-to-original content ratio counts a lot, too. For the former, games that are generally meant for handhelds or were extremely enjoyable on consoles would be desired. Often times, if it's an upteenth port, like REDS, it might get snubbed. For the latter, Capcom's at a disadvantage for me because there's not enough other stuff.
A third angle is fanboyism.
EDIT: But let it be known, I'm living proof that these ports aren't always praised either. But they're a good addition to the PSP library regardless.
oh, I won't deny, there was the occasional GBA or DS port that got me excited: The five GBA ports I own are:
Super Mario Bros. 2 (got it at launch with castlevania)
Super Mario Bros. 3
Breath of Fire 1
Breath of Fire 2
Final Fantasy IV
I do also own FF1+2 dawn of souls, and will be getting FF5 and 6
I also got Mario 64 DS
It just seems like there's a much different response to the PSP ports than to the GBA ones. Is it the appeal of having games from current gen on the go?

The thing that people were ripping on Tim Rogers famitsu piece most for was that it was borderline incoherent, and it didn't really bring anything new to this particular debate anyway if you manage to work out what he was trying to say.Musashi Wins! said:
Original IP that takes advantage of the PSP hardware and does it on a low budget is not impossible, it's been done. Without acknowledging that, Tim's and CVX's argument is lopsided and inaccurate as an explanation for the kind of software we see brought to the PSP at this time.
kaching said:
I didn't even acknowledge this as a unique PSP problem, because Capcom's doing the same thing with the DS. REDS is one, Rockman EXE 5 is another (and that one stings since the DS plays GBA games) and technically Phoenix Wright is another (although forgivable thanks to the US release). VJDS is virtually it for the DS. I didn't bring the DS up because no games were announced. And I've made no remarks on the general PSP library either, and won't. This is about Capcom.

What's Capcom got coming out for the DS? I can't think of much cept the recently announced Megaman ZX and RE2... ? Probably just forgetting something.. but if they don't have much cooking, they're pretty batty!
I certainly welcome these top games coming across to PSP(GnG YES) - but haven't they been paying attention to the MC sales threads or something?

Not every port on the PSP is looked upon with anticipation though. I love Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but I don't really care if Koei brings those over (putting them all together on one UMD though would be cool).GaimeGuy said:
These are the only ports that people seem to actually be getting really excited about:
Gradius Collection
Valkyrie Profile
Suikoden 1 & 2
Power Stone Collection
Capcom Puzzle World
Everything else either has a decent amount of new content, is a remake, or is only anticipated by a few, and not that intensely (ToE, BOFIII, etc.).
Now, take a good look at those games. One is a collection of 5 of the best side scrolling shooters ever made, all of which are quite hard to find (Gaiden was JP only as well I think). Another is a port of one of the most sought after and expensive RPG's from the PSone; also considered one of it's very best. The third is a collection of not one, but two of the most expensive and best PSone RPG's. And the final two from Capcom, one is a collection of a fighting series beloved by many that was doomed to the short life of it's original platform, and the other is a collection that contains SPF2, one of the most beloved puzzle games ever created (of which the only other portable version is considered to be pretty garbage).
I think it's obvious why these ports are highly anticipated on the PSP; they're fucking awesome.
Some of the reactions in the Powerstone Collection and other threads are hilarious and definately over-the-top.
I wasn't very impressed with this show and the reason was because the vast majority of the games were ports. I'm a fan of the Powerstone series, but I'd much rather see Powerstone 3 than this. This is Capcom and ports don't always mean that they're thinking of reviving a series, but rather that they're looking for a quick buck.
Worse, this is Capcom USA, who screws everything up. All of these games will be released with little fanfare, poorly timed, and horribly distributed. Between this and the situation in Japan, I'm afraid they'll look at the poor sales and decided that there isn't enough demand to justify a real sequel. I'd rather PSC were on the PS2/etc. where it would have a chance to sell.
Though I should have expected any really big announcements with E3 closing in.

I didn't take exception because he's free to use my claims to make other conclusions, even if I don't necessarily agree with them. I also didn't take exception because it would become another PSP bitch-fest in addition to a Capcom whine party, but you've picked up the slack I see, as usual, so thanks.
It's still very disappointing as an event overall.

FLAWLESS VICTOLY!
kaching said:
It's not done much, and I think it's fairly obvious why. Hopefully that will change. At any rate, I only meant to state that CVX was right not to be fully optimistic in the meaning of the portastic news, not to infer any certain argument to him. My apologies, CVX.
Regardless, I like the PSP, like that I'll have access to these ports and am pretty much satisfied wtih the PSP as a portable semi-ps2.
