Thread: Good games for the PSP and the DS

  1. #1

    Default Good games for the PSP and the DS

    I'm planning to get myself a PSP and a DS sometime in the future.
    What good games would you suggest? I'm thinking mostly RPG's and adventure games, but other games are welcome. I'm working on a list so I can keep an eye on those games on the net and in stores. GBA are welcome too.

    Final Fantasy IV - DS
    The legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass - DS
    Final Fantasy XII Revenant Wings - DS
    Final Fantasy Dissidia - PSP (preorder)
    The World Ends with You - DS
    Chrono Trigger - DS
    Metal Gear Solid: Portable ops - PSP
    ----------------------------------------------------------------

    Those should do you well for a good while.

    I don't know anything about the PSP, but I strongly suggest:

    Trauma Center: Under the Knife
    Trauma Center: Under the Knife 2
    Etrian Odyssey
    The World Ends With You
    Disgaea DS
    Pokémon Diamond/Pearl/*Platinum (*soon to be released)

    Those are all DS titles. Go.

    I already got most Squeenix titles on my list. Here's how it look so far.

    DS:
    Final Fantasy Tactics Advance
    Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift
    Final Fantasy III
    Final Fantasy IV
    Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings
    The World Ends With You
    Chrono Trigger
    Lock’s Quest
    Disgaea DS
    Etrian Odyssey

    (Looks like I'm getting a DS first)

    PSP:
    Dissidia: Final Fantasy
    Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions
    Daxter
    Secret Agent Clank
    Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters
    Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness

    Oddly enough have I never played any MGS game although my cousins love them. And I've never been too much into Pokémon. I've already played FFVII:CC on a friends PSP, but it didn't impress me.

    I'm going to repeat myself and say to at least give the first Trauma Center a try. It's one of my favorite non-vertical scrolling shooter game series (not so into RPGs as I used to be anymore), and I recommend it to everyone who is looking for DS games.

    DS:
    Retro Game Challenge
    Big Bang Mini
    Lunar Knights
    Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon
    Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow/Portrait of Ruin/Order of Ecclesia
    Hotel Dusk: Room 215
    Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time
    Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood

    And with all what everyone else suggested, you got a pretty big selection.
    I also strongly recommend playing Trauma Center and all the other adventure games the DS has to offer.
    Like; Trace Memory and Ace Attorney series and some other games I can't really remember now.

    And since I don't have a PSP, I can't really recommend any games for it.

    These, as well as many of the others mentioned, and the ones below. I'm frankly ashamed of you all for not recommending any of these:

    Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror and Logan's Shadow
    God of War: Chains of Olympus
    Jeanne D'Arc
    SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Fireteam Bravo 1 & 2

    And there are a number of games on the PSN that you should check out as well such as PSX titles, Everday Shooter, and Echochrome.

    How come no one has suggested the fabulous Phoenix Wright series? Its one of the most awesome DS series. I'm also for the Castlevania games and Digimon World: Dusk/Dawn.

    DS:
    Hotel Dusk
    Trace Memory (or Another Code, depending on where you live)
    Ace Attorney (definitely my favorite of this genre!)
    The World Ends With You

    PSP:
    FFVII: Crisis Core is the only PSP game I own, and it's pretty cool. Dissidia's coming up, and that should be a fun game for any FF fan n.n
