The PSP / PlayStation Portable was awesome, Sony's handheld was the closest anyone ever got to sharing the space with Nintendo's Game Boys and DS(es) and I love the thing. Anyways it somehow got around 2000 games, SO HERES A BUNCH OF ONES TIME MIGHT HAVE FORGOTTEN.

New Dr. Squatch customers receive 3 FREE SOAPS when you purchase the Buy3Get3 bundle at drsquatch.com/austin If you ever wanted to try Dr. Squatch, now is the perfect time! Apologies if some of the audio sounds off *again* in this video. Right after my trip I caught the plague at a bowling alley and it knocked me out for dang near two weeks. HOWEVER, we're back in the saddle now. I'm really excited for what we're doing over the next month and a half and I hope you enjoy watching it! Also, what's your favorite PSP Game? Legit mine is probably one of the many many extremely solid remakes. BUT, I will play Jeanne d'Arc ANYDAY.

[@spectrumbots4268]

My favorite PSP game is Lumines.

[@pestulio07]

My favorite is probably MM Powered Up, but MGS Portable Ops was a close second.

[@TimLoyalToWifeHaterFreeZoneA]

Love It austineruption Bro.

[@uchenna8885]

i wont forget, you have to do your annually new SAO game review @austineruption

[@GuyOnAChair]

I know this is random, but the Frogger PSP game isn't the stinker you're thinking of.

[@JustSendMeLocation]

The PSP will forever hold a place in my heart, I grew up poor so I never had much; I went into school and a few kids had it and I was so upset I didn’t, I cried when I got home and my dad asked me what’s wrong, I told him about the PSP and he bought it for me the next month as a surprise, he worked extra shifts that entire month just so he could buy it for me, my father passed away this year ❤

[@Gloryboyquan]

sorry for your loss bro 🙏🏾

[@jemb710]

Your father was a good man. My condolences 🙏

[@hey_itsangel7108]

He sounds like cool guy may he rest in peace bro

[@AlviSayithowitis]

Things like that you’ll never forget! Sorry for your loss bro ❤

[@HenleyRumbold]

[@RolledDie]

"This is now 18 years old" broke my brain for a few seconds there.

[@francesfuego6950]

Seriously. I remember it like it was yesterday. Christmas morning 04-05(forget the time) James brown died then vice city stories and power stone was how I mourned. Also! Dr Squanch the soap from ad is flipping amazing. The bourbon soap and the glacier one. Top flipping tier especially if you match it with Harry’s body wash!

Are you feeling old yet?

[@individualywrappedcheeseslices]

Wait another 5-8 years and the switch will be a memory. Time has a way of humbling your ass no matter the age

[@MrBossFML]

I honestly thought it would be older

[@godofwar2k6reborn]

The PSP was the last handheld I owned. My favorite of all time. Favorite games are the two God of War games, Crisis Core, Wipeout, Tomb Raider Legends, and Dissidia.

[@cmallory7511]

The PSP Dissidia was amazing. It is a shame that they ruined it with the PS4 version.

[@JacenVampyr]

@@cmallory7511 i agree dissidia on the psp was epic and i tried the ps4 one sucked

[@archangelmichael1978]

The PSP, for as old as it is, was WAY ahead of it's time. An amazing handheld. Even now, seems better than my modern Switch. Heck, you could use it as an mp3 player and even watch movies on it... back then! Sony has the tech and the money. They should make a PSP 2 to compete with the Steam Deck.

[@wyattgeorge9696]

gta vice city stories, daxter and kingdom hearts birth by sleep

[@clockwork204]

Same. It introduced me to the convenience of handheld gaming, as well as my Monster Hunter addiction. edit: Oh misread, I thought they said "first".

[@IdentityChrist]

The PSP was my first and for several years only console. I played SO MANY of the games you mentioned and this entire video was a huge nostalgia trip. Invizimals, Kenka Bancho, Half Minute Hero and, of course, Holy Invasion of Privacy, Badman! What Did I Do to Deserve This?, which still wins for the best game title ever.

[@jamwithtoast01]

There is a yakuza spin-off series called "Kurohyou" that has recently been english patched for the PSP. They are incredible games and very similar to the kenka bancho game you mentioned

[@chubokuway]

Yesss both of them are truly wonderful

[@kitestar]

Agreed, it’s nice we can play what I could refer to as “the lost yakuza chapters”

[@verqu3450]

The first one is completed? I thought the 2nd one got completely patched and the first is WIP

[@chubokuway]

@@verqu3450 Only just recently went 1.0 I think

[@miyageyage4717]

You guy know any english patched psp games?

[@NipplesTheEnchilada2323]

Work Time Fun is more of a WarioWare style game, and I love it! I spent countless hours playing the game, trying to unlock all of the minigames via the Gachapon machines. Honestly, with Sony putting PS1 and PSP games on PS4 and PS5, I hope it comes to the consoles eventually, so I can do it all again! Also, the Ramen Timer in that game is meme worthy as all holy hell. Plus, the cover art looks like the character Dr Tran from MondoMedia, which is what initially brought the game to my attention, since I loved those shorts when I was a teen.

[@droppedcombofiend2707]

DJ Max Fever on the PSP was my introduction to the series. I was so excited when Respect came out with almost all of the songs from it.

[@otaking3582]

At least the PSP can run off the charge cable even if you don't have a battery in it.

[@austineruption]

This is true! Though the expansion warped the screen a bit cause it was IN the closet.

[@whotio7374]

One of my fav PSP games I hardly hear anybody talk about is Fate/Extra. (Its characters certainly haven't been forgotten, Nero is EVERYWHERE in Japan thanks to F/GO) It's an excellent visual novel with a neat little rock paper scissors dungeon crawler tacked on. It has one of the most consistently BANGIN soundtracks I've ever heard with that sweet electronic jazz. It's got a remake that's been in development forever, hopefully that'll be a great way for people to finally check it out.

[@boobah5643]

_Fate/Extra_ has a couplethree sequels. One was an RPG set between, IIRC, the prologue and main game proper, and then a series of Dynasty Warrior clones (that were so delayed that they were supposed to introduce a character who had shown up in _F/GO_ years earlier.) I'd also argue that introducing Elizabeth Bathory was arguably more impactful; Nero is just another Saber clone (and a bait-and-switch for the low information consumer.)

[@third-ratedude4234]

I tried Fate/Extra back in like, 2014 cause I got into the Fate/ rabbit hole, but the battle system really takes me out of the experience tbh. Everything else range from fine to good, but the battle system is just not good enough to be the main thing you do for the majority of the game

[@Flaulicower]

Haven't played it in like 10 years, but I enjoyed it a lot. That and P3P really scratched my "portable JRPG with a FeMC" itch well back then.

[@kitestar]

F/GO, you’ve been spared…for now…

[@TheBlackSeraph]

Bought this because I wanted another Persona-style game, and I like the rock-paper-scissors-combat and the entire having to guess the boss's true name. Never got far in it though. Apparently, there is a remake in the works for this game, but screenshots seem to suggest that it uses a different combat system.

[@haru_hanna]

It’s so awesome hearing someone talk about how amazing, and a bit strange, the PSP is. It’s my second favourite console of all time (only behind the Vita which is just the PSP deluxe and running a psp emu on it makes it a two in one) and people really don’t talk about how awesome it was and honestly still is. The reference to Pangya truly made my day. It’s one of my favourite games of all time, having played it when I was as young as three. Seeing Fat Princess here too was just amazing, I adore Fistful of Cake so much and I always go back to it when I just want to have some quick fun.

[@KevinCow]

Motorstorm: Arctic Edge was pretty rad. It was a full proper Motorstorm game on a handheld, and the snow theme made it feel like a distinct entry and not just a watered down handheld spinoff. Despite being on the weakest hardware, I think it's the second best in the series, behind Pacific Rift. Also Resistance Retribution is worth mentioning alongside Killzone Liberation. I remember it being one of the more successful attempts at doing a traditional shooter on the PSP.

[@berserkchip]

Generation of Chaos and Aedis Eclipse were my favorite games on the PSP. They were like Fire Emblem but with a dash of Mario Party and also the characters have signature super moves that they call out the names of as they attack. (shout out to the big buff dude with two axes that would get more and more buff before screaming GOD SLAYER)

[@wilmayes5554]

The psp also has a lot of great Japanese games that never made it to the states. I really wished we had a proper English release (or full translation) of the Tales of Phantasia remake. The best possible version of that game stuck overseas and on the psp

[@HandheldGamer1991]

I would kill to play tales of phantasia! I only played it on the gba emulator where you could hold spacebar to make the game run faster to kill the lag XD

[@chaosyeshua1137]

You're in luck! Life Bottle Productions, the people who did the fan translation of Tales of Destiny Director's cut, are also working on Tales of Phantasia Narikiri Dungeon X :D

[@wilmayes5554]

@@chaosyeshua1137 They are?!? That’s awesome! I loved the Destiny translation so I trust they’ll do an amazing job.

[@gumbyx84]

So happy you brought up GitS:SAC! I love the Tachikomas as characters in the anime so having on as your tag-along buddy was fun. I do agree that it needed dual analog controls but you can make it a bit more playable through emulation.

[@ccricers]

Two of my big favorites on PSP are Jeanne D'Arc and Hot Shots Golf: Open Tee. (I didn't play Pangya on PSP but on PC when it was known as Albatross 18). Jeanne D'Arc is made by Level-5, who made Dark Cloud and Dragon Quest VIII. It's a fun strategy RPG that is quick to pick up for newbies of the genre as it doesn't go very deep into detail but it's still great fun.

[@jamesredline1352]

Anytime the PSP comes up I just think about Loco Roco and The 3rd Birthday. The former being so cute and quirky and amazing. The latter being a much bigger monster. Weird gameplay mechanics and story that makes ZERO sense and a little too much inappropriate fanservice. Still absolutely loved that game. Also been using Dr. Squatch exclusively for about 3 years now :) great stuff!

[@raspberrycyanide]

It was nice seeing Pangya get spotlighted even just for a moment. I played the MMO religiously as a kid and got really sad when it shut down. I still boot up the PSP version every now and again to get my anime golf fix :)

[@A-1-Sawce]

I sunk thousands upon thousands of hours into Monster Hunter Freedom Unite. I got a small group of friends into it and that was great, finally being able to play with others. But once the PS3 Ad-Hoc Party came out it was basically life changing lol. I played with thousands of people and made friends, it's one of my favorite times of my life in general that era. Oh my God Coded Arms, i loved that game!

[@teflonbilly]

I have always been really interested in those Yakuza spin-off games for the PSP. They looked like they scratched some of that Kenka Bancho itch, but also had a connection to one of my favorite game series.

[@chubokuway]

Well they're both now fully english patched, so you may as well just jump in

[@Zwub101]

I’m glad you talked about Work Time Fun! My brother and I played it all the time as kids and I always considered it more along the lines of an even more absurdist mature version of Wario Ware with even more bizarre life sim elements as a setting/setup for the jobs/micro games.

[@mafata4200]

thanks for reminding me of some games that were absolute bangers for me as a kid. one interesting psp game that I have reminded myself about was called Crush. It was a 3D puzzle platformer where you had to rotate the level to get to certain areas, kind of like in Fez. Echochrome and Echoshift were also really nice puzzle games with a very minimalist art style. Psp also had many great racing games, such as Burnout games, Gran Turismo and Motorstorm Arctic Edge.

[@SoundsideSherry]

I wasn't super into the PSP, but I *did* have a chance to try a hidden gem by the name of Crush. It's a puzzle-platformer that's like a combination of Super Paper Mario's 2D/3D flipping mechanic and Fez's perspective rotation, and yet it actually predated both of those games. It's also got this really striking "dark/twisted comic book" visual style, and the music uses all kinds of wild distortion effects, which really suits the idea of going into the main character's mind to find the root of his issues and quite literally collect his lost marbles. It definitely flew under the radar, and I don't think the developers at Zoe Mode worked on many other titles besides it.

[@Gatorade69]

Well the PSP wasn't super into you either.

[@poptheweasel100]

The PSP Mega Man games were my childhood, and I still love Powered Up to this day. MHX isn't as good as the original but it's still a very solid effort and worth playing for a change of pace of one on my favorite games ever. I always hoped for a Powered Up 2 but we never got it sadly

[@gjergjaurelius9798]

Powered up is definitely in my top 3 megaman games. I mean holy hell. That’s how you do a remake.

[@AndooKami]

Awesome video Austin. Appreciate you bringing up Metal Gear Acid 1 & 2 those games are peak childhood nostalgia for me. If you're looking for more forgotten and weird games, then you should definitely look up Bounty Hounds. It was a cool third person action RPG made by Namco involving customizing your character's weapons & armor parts like Armored Core. Hopefully I'm not the only one who remembers that game lol.

[@st4r64]

Mega Man Powered Up was my first Mega Man game and was the reason I became a Mega Man fan. Sonic Rivals 1 and 2 were also personal favorites as a kid.

[@silvurrrboi230]

As a kid I used to play a single game for few months on my PSP. Over 20 NG+ saves on both Size Matters and Secret Agent Clank About 700 hours in all Patapon games And after all these years I still couldn’t find that one remaining Precursor Orb in Daxter

[@UnjustifiedRecs]

Man I loved my psp, I went straight out and got a vita all those years ago and that soon took over as my favourite handheld ever, especially when modded. My favourite psp oddity was the Yakuza game that was only released in Japan, there was some fan translation of it but when I last played it (probably 10 years ago now) it wasn't complete

[@georgefrankly]

Good string of quality videos with fresh topics and/or interesting takes lately. I know you've been on KZbin for a while but you've been hitting my algorithm pretty hard lately and it's been a welcome addition!

[@Hyperfludd]

Love the variety of titles covered, nice video as always Austin!

[@AToolyTime]

Awesome video, Austin! Very helpful. I never had a PSP back in the day but I have a Vita now which has a select PSP library, including some of the games in the video. So much appreciated breaking down what's out there. 🙂 And the ones not available on the store? There's always yargh mateys. 😶 I see you Hammerin' Hero.

[@jadesarlonade2670]

(Subscribed to Rebel Taxi as well) Wow two PSP game videos in my sub feed back to back? Sick.

[@otaking3582]

Ah, I see that you're a person of culture, as well

[@CapturedInWords]

Wow somehow I completely forgot I use to play Star Wars Lethal Alliance! Usually when I think of my PSP days, I remember Daxter, Crash Tag Team Racing, Monster Hunter and Loco Roco. Really great to see some more obscure games on this list that spark faint memories. Killzone Liberation was actually the first PSP game I remember playing. Been binging your videos for the past few weeks, love the consistency to your content!

[@starlightwitch12]

I remember some of the games in this video especially Pursuit Force and Half Minute Hero! Also I remember playing and finishing Hammerin' Hero when I was in the hospital 13 years ago.

[@richardsavings6690]

They did put both Pursuit Force games on PS Plus, albeit fairly choppy emulations.

[@nshadex72]

About time you did PSP games, it is one of the most unique handhelds out there, with a bunch of oddities in the library, so I'm excited to watch this one 😁😁

[@ZulaCrash]

For some reason I knew that a PSP video would come eventually.

[@Wnick1996]

Fun fact: the whole reason I bought my PSP was to play Size Matters because I was such a huge Ratchet & Clank fan. Same reason I played every PS2 entry and most of the PS3 entries. It's kind of crazy that it's 18 years old now

[@QF_Dan72]

I bought it because of that and Daxter

[@GeneralMonty]

Man hit me in the childhood mentioning Battlezone and Pangya. I have a copy of battlezone that was signed by the whole team at Paradigm, it was such a fun game.

[@patmcmiller3379]

Thank you Austin for the battery reminder. It has sadly began with the battery in my console, but I took it out and the PSP case is still OK. That little thing was the first big buy I made with the money from my first job, so it holds a special place in my collection.

[@efirir]

Quite interesting watch, good job. Didn't know about many games from here, some of them looks worth to check 😮

[@CDX1080]

My Me game, a.k.a Edgelord Teenager Me, was Undead Knights. A hack n slash game during the zombie craze of the late 00s. But you can actually use the zombies in a bit of a Pikmin style...? All while listening to some licensed Metal soundtrack. But I loooved playing the ports the PSP have. THUG 2, Guilty Gear, Metal Slug Anthology, Smackdown vs Raw 06, Twisted Metal Head On. Add to all that you could... 'customize' your PSP, and play any PS1 game on the go... Beautiful. Great video!

[@JunnyJai]

The DJ Max series for the PSP was one of my go2 for rhythm game alongside Patapon and Loco Roco. The Gundam Vs Gundam series was also another great arcade game. It had so many gundams from different eras battling out. Massive boss fights and even co-op so you can play with a friend. If I wanted to scratch my racing itch it would be Rockstar's Midnight Club LA Remix, with that free roam world and street races alongside the decent soundtrack. But of course Monster Hunter series was the game I spent the most on. Just hearing *Pokke village* soundtrack and *Proof of a hero* hits me with so much nostalgia.

[@calebsilipo6969]

There are few thing that bring me the same joy as a new Austin Eruption videos, those few things being, Pokemon Emerald, Knights of the Old Republic 1 & 2, and my dogs. Keep the videos coming!

[@calebsilipo6969]

And Repping the best soap on the planet. Absolute legend.

[@norfsyq9660]

Sunday vs Magazine was 🔥🔥🔥 I emulated it a couple years back and unlocked all the characters not understanding a single thing lol. I just remember recognizing old anime characters I saw before and ones I never saw before. I fw that game heavy!

[@tenworms]

Sunday Versus Magazine is probably my most played PSP game (via emulator of course) after like Birth By Sleep. It's a surprisingly fun traditional fighter that has some reeeeally crusty jank and a lot of SICK character choices.

[@Ashamaxa]

Aw man, you showed it on the intro but didnt mentioned! One of my favorite PSP experiences was (and still is thanks to emulation) the Badman games. Such a weird, simple concept, with a memorable "primary school band" soundtrack and some funny dialog between characters. I loooove that trilogy, and even dedicated a fair amount of time to the Vita spin off.

[@josecuellar5354]

I love when my KZbin subscriptions match up, RebelTaxi just did a PSP video as well, and I'm sure Austin's is gonna be a great follow up!!

[@natoriousthehopeful2786]

I'm not sure if these qualify as forgotten gems, but the Trails series definitely deserves more love💗

In my opinion it needs less. Hugely overrated unless we're talking about the older ones. So boring and generic.

[@lonca_47]

Thanks for the recommendations! Got a lot to play from this video.

[@bobafett4265]

As far as forgotten PS2 games go, I do feel like RAD Robotic Alchemical Drive is one of them, it was published by Enix before they got absorbed by Square Soft and it's an example of a hidden gem on one of the most biggest consoles ever. Another I can think of is Cold Fear and The Thing game, cause Survival Horror was quite vast on the PS2, including some that fell off the radar and don't get talked about much.

[@BugsyFoga]

Rebeltaxi and Austin Eruption releasing a weird psp games vid in the same week, Coincidence….i think NOT!!!

[@MrDmoney156]

lol right?! great minds think alike

[@TheDanishGuyReviews]

If I have ever seen a PSP irl, it was in 2006 or something. Everyone quickly decided the different Nintendo handhelds were better. Sure enough, at the local second-hand store, they sell like 6 PSP games, but 260 Nintendo DS games. (They don't even sell the PSP itself, either, but almost every Nintendo handheld released before the Switch.)

Work Time Fun, Pangya and Half Minute Hero are two of, not only my favorites on the system but, all time favorite games and got me through so many dull highschool classes. I would love for WTF to find a second life on the switch. Pangya is still one of my favorite golf games too. As for Kenka Bancho, I never got to play it but I desperately wanted it because it looked so silly.

[@federicovolpi3195]

i remember very well when I bought Metal Gear Acid... I saw the box in the game store and I remember being super excited by thinking of playing a sequel to this massive franchise... when home I put the mini Cd in the PSP and when starts I begin to realize is a card strategy game... (before that there was nothing that I could hate more). I was destroyed so I left it hoklding for a while until I didn't have anything to play... When really getting into to it I've completely change my mind...That game made me addicted.. somehow they manage to make a great card game with MG... at the end is Kojima game... in the few past days after years ... I'm playing MG acid 2 for the first time.. I didn't know about... I'm back excited like a kid !!!!!

[@Triattt]

This definitely deserves a second video, there's many weirder and more forgotten games than Sonic Rivals and Metal Gear Acid. Just one example, Rengoku: Tower of Purgatory and its sequel. I feel like no one ever talks about it, and I had tons of fun playing it back then.

[@oskartxarrak]

GOD I love the PSP and the AC!D series! Good video as usual

[@pirateFinn]

oh my GODS I am so glad you mentioned Coded Arms (and its sequel), I loved those. My personal PSP favourite probably has to go to Ace Combat X, a surprisingly well designed portable version of the Ace Combat formula; Medievil Resurrection is also a rather lovely ambitious remake on the original game. Some aren't a fan of the added mascot character of sorts though, but I do enjoy the narration from Tom Baker.

[@sevenheavenhavengaming]

PSP was awesome! It's an underrated portable system! I think that it's one of the best portable systems alongside the Nintendo 3DS with awesome games in its library. I remember spending a lot of time playing Dissidia Final Fantasy on that thing. I also enjoyed the Mega Man Powered Up game. I wished Capcom ported that to next gen systems and PC.

Gladiator: The Beginning, is a great PSP game that I played a lot that is a completely hidden gem. It's an arena brawler with multiple ending, that allows you to use anything in the arena as a weapon, including the armor you dismantle from your enemies mid combat. You can then upgrade these "weapons" to actually be really deadly lol. It's a great game.

Ghost in the shell was was my first psp game and i thought it was pretty fun and not bad even if you didn't have a 2nd stick to aim around with. Powerstone collection was awesome, especially since it let you use the new characters from the 2nd game in the first game. Thanks for letting us know half minute hero is on steam.

The PSP is probably my favorite handheld, it had so many great games in it! - God of War: Chains of Olympus - Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep - Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy - SoulCalibur: Broken Destiny - The 3rd Birthday - Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection - Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII

Honestly, what drew me to Dead Head Fred in the first place was him being voiced by John McGinley. The game also acknowledged that he's best known as Dr Cox, since he makes a reference to it in the credits scene.

One of my most favorite handhelds made by Sony during the early years, and I've played some of the most memorable games with that system, and of course I didn't played some of the games that came out with that handheld console. Seriously now I feel like going back and play my PSP.

I got my PSP when it first came out. Bought many puzzle games and platformers on it. Even had both CAPCOM Collections,Midway Collection and Sega Genesis Collection. Mega Man Powered Up was another good game. The PSP is underrated handheld and was a lot of fun.

Exit kinda always reminds me of Taito's very own Action Elevator Returns in some ways. I was going to pick up the sequel back in the day but never did. I was addicted with the level editor in Mega Man Powered up and I wish more games would do it as it was fun making your own level and giving people a challenge.
