Gaming PSP releases for 2012

[Just Another Gamer]

I thought I might make a thread to list and talk about the new games the PSP is getting in 2012 even if majority of them is Japan only I still think even to now the PSP is still going strong although just in the east but it never hurts to play games in Japanese.

Well after starting to learn Japanese this year I seem to have little to no trouble.

That aside the PSP is still getting alot of great games this year oh and I forgot fate/extra CCC. I'll add it now.

Grand Knights History and Persona 2 for American/Europe.

Also nobody cares about japanese only releases.

Also nobody cares about japanese only releases.

I doubt anyone cares to wait 2+ years for a game that might get translated but got delayed and eventually never translated plus the PSP survived with its Japan only exclusives, the DS this year is pretty much the same since the 3DS and Vita have already been released.

 

[prowler]

If it doesn't release in America/Europe then I won't play them, simple as that.

I haven't even played the Type-0 demo because I can wait.

I'm pretty sure that Persona 2 will be translated, I mean all of them so far has been translated so why not P2-batsu. Still i'll be getting the Japanese version first and i'll get the undub if it does get made after its translated and I was thinking about getting type-0 but somehow I felt it wasn't for me.

 

[Joktan]

excited for persona 2 ep...but wasnt ff type o for vita now?

 

[Hells Malice]

Had no idea Fate/extra CCC existed but damn I hope it's localized. Looks pretty cool.

Nice to know the psp is still going strong.

I'm surprised that it is actually. I only bought mine in December last year and its been my most played console so far.

Was the PSP ever "going strong"? Seems like it's always been one of the less popular systems...

There's was a whopping total of two handheld gaming devices during their lifetime. That immense number has now DOUBLED to four in this gen.
Less popular =/= not doing well

The 360 and PS3 bombed if we want to directly compare their success to the Wii.

The PSP was a success otherwise Sony would've pulled out of the handheld market this gen and it was and still is going strong now although just in the eastern market since almost all new PSP releases are just in Japan this year but it doesn't mean they won't continue to translate them but chances of that is low.

 

[Jugarina]

The PSP is my go-to handheld. Loaded with stuff to do and play and I didn't even have to spend any money on a flash cart. Might be true that It is not as popular as the other systems out there but then again I was never the popular guy either so It fits me best.

 

[Bobbyloujo]

Well, if it's less popular then less developers will want to make games for it. Then again, maybe that just filters out all of the bad games. The PSP does have some good games like Birth by Sleep and Crisis Core.

I find it slightly for a lack of a better word concerning that the only 2 games you listed as good are from Square Enix but sure no problem.
