Alright complainers, how do you feel about this one? After over a month of weak PSN support (in terms of PSP content) SCEA has come through this week. Four full games are available to purchase, including two PSP versions of classic PS3 dual-stick shooters. Both are definitely worth a purchase. Mercury is a pretty fun physics-based puzzler, so if you’ve got the dosh, go for all three. Now all we need is Loco Roco 2 and we’re set. Here’s the full release list:
- Archer Maclean’s Mercury full game ($9.99)
- Brain Challenge full game ($9.99)
- Super Stardust Portable full game ($9.99)
- Everyday Shooter full game ($9.99)
- Ben 10 Alien Force “Making Of” trailer (free)

Why can’t we have more ads like this? It’s so simple, yet so fun. It’s sort of like being LocoRoco the game itself, in a sense. We can’t help but smile and feel happy after watching this. It’s so silly. Oh, and in case you were just wondering, LocoRoco 2 hit Japan today. That’s news to everyone but our European readers, of course. They’re too busy playing the darn thing to notice.

Dissidia: Final Fantasy is out in two weeks, but Square Enix is already offering some sweet, free content. If you love collecting themes for your PSP, then you’ll want to download the three that are available off the official Dissidia website. The three themes correspond to the first three Final Fantasies; each theme features their respective hero/villain combination.
Just remember — in order to convey the files to your PSP — hook up your PSP to your PC via USB cable and enter USB mode. Then open up the folder “PSP” and then “Themes.” Just drag-and-drop it there. Now your themes are good to go. Also, after the break, check out a vid detailing how the game’s story mode progresses.

Speaking in an interview with Japan’s Weekly Famitsu (which is courteously translated by 1UP), the Dissidia dev team has spoken out about the possible inclusion of Final Fantasy XII and XIII characters making their way into the game. Creative producer Tetsuya Nomura replied to the mag when drilled on those sought after games, but Noms had some disappointing news to reveal: “One idea we had was to include an FFXIII character, but having one debut in Dissidia would lock down the image of his or her skills and so forth, perhaps affecting FFXIII in the process. As a result, we couldn’t get permission.”
That’s rather understandable. But wait; what about FFXII? Well, Nomura was a little more mysterious in his answer for this one: “As for FFXII, just stay tuned for now (laughs).” Is he laughing because we’re totally not going to see a character from the game? Or, is he laughing because we’re definitely going to see one? Commence dramatic progressive argument in our comments division!

Sony’s trying to work on PSP’s street cred, aiming for a slightly edgier crowd than what Nintendo is doing with the DS. Their urban TV ads show PSP as a vital part of active city life. A new online component has gone live, complimenting the ad campaign. Called “Everywhere Just Got Better,” the website allows PSP owners to mark their locations on a map. Check out the unique PSP skins on display. Of course, this begs the question: when will these skins be available for sale?

Falcom is remaking old school action RPG
Brandish for the PSP, according to
Dengeki Online. The game made its original debut in Japan on the PC, but Americans will be most familiar with the Super Nintendo port released in 1995. The PSP remake is renamed
Brandish: The Dark Revenant , and puts you in the shoes of a swordsman named Ares who ends up in a multi-level dungeon with a scantily-clad sorceress chasing after you.
This blogger actually owns the game on the SNES, but didn’t finish it due to the graceless controls and steep learning curve — hopefully this 3D remake will address those issues. The game will be released in Japan on March 19th — Siliconera reports that Atlas in talks currently working with Falcom, so we might actually see this in your neck of the woods.
[Via Siliconera -- thanks, David B.!]

Maybe Sony hasn’t completely given up on releasing PS1 games for download onto PS3/PSP. The sharp eyes of David B. discovered two new games added to the ESRB database: Rayman 2 and Medal of Honor. While we’re pretty certain the latter hasn’t aged too well, we’re more than glad at a chance to play Rayman 2 again.
Of course, we have to remember — just because the ESRB has rated a game doesn’t mean it’ll release any time soon.
