A look at PSP’s classic collection
We came across this article over at gaming site Destructoid about five different reasons why we should own a PSP. We found it rather funny, not because of the given explanations, but because we’re pretty sure there are a helluva other reasons than five. We’re sure you’d agree, and we’re sure you would all have your own different reasons, too.
Anyway, there were actually two points there that caught our attention. First point is about Capcom. We gave it a thought and we found ourselves nodding and actually mumbling, yeah. Before we proceed, take a look first at this ultra-electro magnetic lineup:
- Capcom Classics Collection
- Street Fighter Alpha 3
- Mega Man: Powered Up
- Mega Man: Maverick Hunter X
- Ultimate Ghosts n’ Goblins
We know what you’re thinking. “For Christ’s sake, those are all ports.” Yes, we know. Capcom knows. Heck, everybody knows. When you you really think about it, Capcom never went out there and tried to package these as new games. They are bloody remakes and God, they are good ones. Remakes are remakes because of a reason: There’s a demand for these games. Don’t tell us you’ve already outgrown Ryu’s hadouken?
The other point that caught our attention is you, the community, especially the homebrew community. As cliche and as cheesy as it sounds, the homebrew community is one of the best reasons to own a PSP. This includes the user-created games as well as the emulated ones.
In the end, regardless of how others perceive Sony as a company, we’ve got to love that handheld. We got to. We just can’t live without it. ‘Nuff said.
