Meh, looks like I'll get it when it hits the bargain bin =/

 

[DECK'ARD]

Ugh.

Super Star Soldier port next time please.

 

[dog$]

Oh, it's on PSP.

Wondered what was up.

 

[jarrod]

It this a port of the Hudson Selections remake? I wonder if the other games (3D Lode Runner, Adventure Island & Bonk) will make it then too?

 

[FortNinety]

God, I miss the days of the huge floating heads for shooter bosses.

 

[Jonnyram]

It's looking like it could be the Hudson selection remake.
Why the hell are they bringing a vert shmup to the PSP anyway? HELLO!? IT'S HORIZONTAL... why not Aero Blasters or Ardynes!? Better games AND they are horizontal.

 

[drohne]

sweet. that ps2/gc remake is surprisingly good -- the only thing that bothered me was the absence of autofire, and the psp version corrects that. and i prefer vertical shooters in vertical format. i hope this is the first of many to come.

 

[wobedraggled]

I have my Cube copy.

I'll stick with that

What is up? Does it look like crap compared to PS2 and GC versions?

 

[Naked Snake]

Would holding the PSP vertically for long periods be difficult? I don't know, never held one. Is it heavy?

 

[dbish]

How does that control? (in tate mode that is)

 

[drohne]

the psp works surprisingly well in tate mode. i played quite a bit of galaga that way. the best approach is to use the d-pad with your left hand and the face buttons with your right hand -- it looks weird but feels perfectly natural.

 

[PanopticBlue]

*shrugs* looks pretty good to me...you guys are crazy. I'll take whatever shmups I can get on psp so long as they play well, and it certainly doesn't look crap.

 

[PC Gaijin]

It looks fine. Tate on a handheld though...maybe it would work on the PSP (don't know, I've never held one). Several Lynx games had a vertical orientation, and that was damn awkward (but the Lynx was huge).

However, the widescreen on the PSP would be great for ports of games like Darius or Ninja Warriors .

The PSP weighs something like an quarter pound with a battery inside, so I guess unless you have the hands of an anemia victim then you can hold it all day long vertically
