Wii Want to Play PSP Games

May 01, 2009 in Blog comments 6

Gaming Target examines the baffling trend of publishers porting PS3 and/or Xbox 360 games to the PSP and then refusing to bring those same games to the equally powered Wii.

After all the pronouncements from Sony about the "Year of This" and the "Year of That", it looks like 2009 might actually become the Year of the PSP. The PSP's release calendar is being filled with tons of new titles from both Sony and third parties after a horrible year-long drought that saw few new games besides the March 2008 releases of God of War: Chains of Olympus and Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII. But with the recent recent announcement of a slew of PS3/Xbox 360 ports for the PSP (including Tekken 6 and a 1-on-1 Soul Calibur fighting game), it makes me wonder why more companies aren't leveraging the similar computing power of the PSP and the Wii and bringing titles to both systems.

    I'd honestly rather just play Wii games on my Wii than my PSP.

    It's not just about the technology. Nothing baffling about it at all.

    Why release games on the PSP and not the Wii?

    Because with the PSP you don't have to include some idiotic waggle of a remote in the game!

      Well, sometimes that idiotic waggle is used by retatds who literally swing the *bleep*ing wiimote, a little shake is all you need in most Wii games, and plus PSP is dead. I only use mine for NES SNES and GBA homebrew
