I like Initial D for psp a lot, and it has more stuff to do than the ps2 game

Honestly aside from the RPG's there isn't a lot on the PSP not available in the US.

The few worth checking out are listed here.

Also, I recommend picking up the European release of Tales of Eternia since Sony of America denied it's release.

Edit: Shinobido Homura looks like a not shitty version of Tenchu. Not bad, might pick that one up too.

Double Edit: Nevermind, the game got terrible reviews.

Yeah, that's the thing. Shinobido Homura is like a (very) lite version of the PS2 Shinobido Imashime, which is the best stealth game I've played in a while. I liked Homura if only because I loved Imashime, but I'm not sure I'd recommend it to everyone.

Twinbee sucks :yuck:. I was remiss in leaving off Parodius Portable, though.

Basically.

In sum; not a whole lot. Most worthwhile titles have made it over in some form or another. The only things I can think of that I'd really like to have still are RPG ports (Suikoden I & II, SMT, Princess Crown).

yore GOD DAMN RONG! Dragon Quest & Final Fantasy Itadaki Street is a joy if you can get past the load times for the stages, which last like hours anyway. It's a very patient game, but it has beautiful orchestrated FF & DQ music.

Whoa, I forgot all about Itadaki Street. I never even opened it.

Itadaki Street is fun, I like the Mario one on DS. :)

Don't you need a decent grasp of Japanese for Itadaki??

No, it's easy to figure out what's going on and there's no story besides "beat the other guys!". You might need a menu translation or something.
