A new Nintendo IP. (And no, making a bad sports or kart game with existing characters doesn't count.)

Have you seen how much this measly 20GB hard drive costs retail?  Even 5 years ago, 20GB hard drives didn't cost that much.  Microsoft purposely made the design proprietary so they can rip people off for more money.  They could have just as easily made the 360 accept standard laptop drives, the way their competitor does, but Microsoft doesn't stand to make extra money that way.  Pure greed.

Three words... Final Fantasy Tactics.  No, not that crap that appeared on the other handheld... the perfect original.  It's probably the greatest RPG of all time (or just beneath Chrono Trigger, depending on your play style preference).

It'll be ported with two more job types, gorgeous hand-drawn cutscenes, and widescreen implementation.  Assuming Symphony of the Night never makes it to the PSP, this will be the game the system is remembered for.  (It might be a port, but it's really THAT GOOD.)

I would prefer Lumines slightly, only because I don't like the controls for Loco Roco... the tilt controls are really annoying when you're trying to stay on a small platform, and the thunder+little blobs command is really finicky... often you have to press it multiple times, or settle into the right spot, to get it to trigger.

As for Katamari, I really didn't care for it without a second analog stick.  It just feels off.  (The controls are complicated enough as it is.)

I have two PSPs... one for games and one for homebrew.  The homebrew is version 1.5, which actually works with Lumines without requiring a patch/upgrade, so that game is always in my 2nd PSP.

And besides, it's one of the few games my girlfriend will play with me.

Didn't the original Chrono Trigger get ported to the PSOne too?  (With some FMV I think.)  They can port a port, right?

Yep, FFT for PSP is the greatest news since the Dems took control of Congress.

All we need now is Castlevania SotN, Xenogears, Chrono Cross, Vagrant Story, Einhander and we've got the greatest handheld ever!  (Looking back at that list, damn, Square makes some awesome games!)

Master Chief is Samus... she just loves to wear men's armor.
