PSP will always have special place for me. Such a small device and almost plays like PS2 console.
Same here, one of my favourite handhelds!
And that widescreen trully beyond standard of that day, nowadays it almost perfectly scaled to a 16:9 TV or monitor. Also Vita with its Oled screen, PLaystayion back then trully differ from today with that garbage ps portal, st
I'm seriously impressed by the visuals in Armoured Core. How they managed to do that on the PSP back in those days is beyond me.
Was a surprisingly powerful machine!
Zenonia was one of the first games I ever got on my iPhone 3GS back in the day
Such a great game!
@@thatvideogamesshow it runs like dog doo doo but it's a cool game in spite of that
I recently started playing Fate Extra CCC, the sequel for Fate Extra. The sequel didn't get an English release, but thanks to fans, it's now fully playable in English. 🎉
*Same!*
I actually played Fate Extra before and it's amazing we can finally play CCC in English.
The team really hit it outta the park!!
Great series of games!
@@SARAIN4ever Yeah, the translation team did great! I've been waiting forever to play it.
It's finally available in English?? I remember the translator putting it off for so long! Where can I get the English patch???
@@GoodlyPenguin Yes, after ten whole years it's finally available for English players. Lol! It's not hard to find if you Google it.
3 PSP games I had that I would definitely say were hidden gems would be a Diablo style game, 2 games actually. Untold Legends and Untold Legends Warriors Code. The first game grows on you once you get further and start to acquire new skills and better gear, the second is more action and a bit more simplistic in the upgrades but still just as fun. The second is a dungeon crawler called Dungeon Explorer Warriors of Ancient Arts. Weird name but multiple classes, lots of dungeons and gear to find, it gets really tough towards the end and I had to find a unique attack pattern on my warrior to progress but I still would recommend it. The last is another 2 games, a very well done FPS game called Coded Arms and Coded Arms Contagion. The worlds seem to be roguelike before the type of game was eatablished. You're basically cyber police and hack onto locations to fight your way through. I remember there being some cool story elements but it's been 15 years since I played it. I got all 3 game series out of bargain bins when the PSP was still new and I wager they are all still cheap games but definitely well worth your time.
It’s awesome seeing that PSP Minis got some love here. Zenonia is one that always seemed neat, and NOVA is a very competent FPS on the handheld too. Nayuta looks really cool, and will need to check that out. Very cool picks and learned about more titles here!
These are basically my "JRPG's I missed out on, because they either never released, or were so limited I didn't even notice they existed" lists. Good stuff.
Hope you get round to playing them!
Great video bro, you're the best. I wish you Merry Christmas.
Thanks Osmar, Merry Christmas to you too!
I'm a bit sad that Hexyz Force wasn't on here. I enjoyed the gameplay and replayed that game five times to get all of the endings. The hardest ending to get isn't excessively hard, and is rewarding. A great thing is the most annoying character does change and becomes much deeper and reflective, and you only have to play that side twice out of the five times.
What a nice video. Good suggestions. Great pacing. Chill narration. Great job. ☺️
Thank you!
Love your hidden gem videos! Your channel is the only channel I can actually trust when you say “hidden gem”.
Great video - I like that the hidden games in this video are not hmm obvious titles which are no longer hidden gems ;) (because 100 other youtubers already mentioned them)
Have you played Gladiator Begins? Its such a great time. Love your vids man.
Thank you man! Interesting and fascinating pick of games! colorful, showy and some hidden, as we like.
Glad you like them!
Ahh yes, Zenonia .. I remembered having that game in my Sony Ericson cellphone a long time ago .. Good game, better in the PSP .. Btw, AC Formula Front best AC game ~ 😁
Totally agree, was a great mobile game but was so much better on PSP!
Too bad the game can’t be emulated properly. And the APK for it is pretty much lost media
I had it on my phone, too. BTW why in the video he says "zezonia" if it's written "zenonia"?
@@musaghei5037 he just misread it
LET'S GOOOOO! PSP ONE LOVE!
🥳🥳
I had no idea Zenonia and N.O.V.A. were on the PSP. I played them both on my fourth-generation iPod Touch.
Thx for the video, there are really many unknown gems. A list of all mentioned games in the comments would be nice next time.
I never finished Mana Khemia, but I'm listening to music from it to this day. I did finish Nayuta and it was pretty awesome by PSP standards. Both are rather long!
Great RPGs!
The world is not enough menu music in the background, nice!
Zenonia looks pretty fun! Same with Mimana Iyar Chronicle. I have a soft spot for pixel ARPGs! I've had my eye on Nayuta as well! Was waiting for the remastered version. Fate/Extra I have some experience with. One of the few turn based games I actually like, combat worked well for what I would expect from the Fate series. I got stuck and haven't finished it though.
I see all of these different games. Good games, but, I haven't been seeing a specific game I used to play on the PSP. When I had first played it I was dumbfounded at how well it played for being so fast paced, and have so many sfxs. That game was Split-Second, on the PSP. From what I'm understanding it's an underrated game that needs to be looked at more. And maybe even be remastered. I know that may never happen but it's an amazing idea considering how well the earlier games were. ESPECIALLY ON A HANDHELD. Truly a hidden gem.
YOOO!
*I'M CURRENTLY PLAYING MIMANA IYAR CHRONICLE!*
I'm playing the undub Ver. and listen to the main theme every now and then.
3:51
“She’s happy but Crais is a twat-“
Lol!
😅
Nice music outro 👌
Wow Zenonia caught me off guard. I remember playing this on my cellphone so many years ago. I could never remember the name but I'm glad it wasn't lost to time like I thought it was.
Swat target liberty was my first game on the psp and it was a joy to play.
Such a sleeper hit!
Amazing
Love your videos
Please post more videos about playstation
And Classic PC games
Like RTS games
Commandos 2
Blitzkrieg
Age of Empires
Age of mythology
Command and conquer generals
And more.
Great video suggestion!
Zenonia looks so interesting and lovely 🤔
It really is!
Zenonia was fun asf back in mobile but than I had to let it go after 3
wow, didn't know that zenonia 1 is in psp i started playing it on my phone zenonia 3 before and 4 & 5, i didn't finish the game but i enjoyed it as a kid
Oh man Zenobia ❤ I first played that game on my Samsung Omnia 😮 it was a windows phone! I still have it 😊 it's not working though 😞
Great list. Thanks for uploading 👍
Glad you enjoyed!
Sweet new list of psp games to buy
Hope you found something new!
@@thatvideogamesshow oh I did
Zenonia Looks great 😮
I actually played almost all of them. I miss Zenonia 2, it was the last decent game in the series before quality left the chat. I was thinking abiut Nayuta too as I used to play it on my psp during this time of the year. And Fate Extra took a lot of my time, I am stoked to play the CCC translation
A Gem you haven't covered yet: "Boxers Road 2: The Real" a Japanese excuslive Boxing simulator. IMO this is the best Boxing game ever made. Not just from it's insanely deep career mode, but also from the game play mechanics. I love it so much I'm currently working on an HD Texture replacement project.
Thanks for the tip, I’ll check it out for part 2!
Japanese text only.
@@Leo80310 Still very playable. I would translate it but the text is all textures spliced together so impossible. Here's a guide, also a game save so you can play all the characters in Exhibition: docs.google.com/document/d/1JfDva7o1r95yWczJEucoJItAF7R5K0Wh9HM-WqnnBYs/edit
I don't know if test drive unlimited it's a hidden gem but probably it's the psp game which I've most played! Over 200 hrs! It's fantastic! Real open world!
How you find these games intrigues me, how you find time to play them amazes me.
Keep up the great work, the community appreciates it. 💪🏻
It’s very cool and sweet to see Zenonia in the list or even mentioned in any video since it’s one of, if not, the most UNDERRATED and FORGOTTEN rpg series only because they were made for mobile. To me, Zenonia 4 is the best story wise. It’s actually the 2nd rpg game I’ve ever played, first was Inotia 4.
Totally agree, it deserves way more attention!
I had zenozia on the ipod touch and i loved it to death i was sad for years that i couldnt play it until a few weeks back where i found the psp version i didnt know!
Hakuoki: Warriors of the Shinsengumi (@1:46). It's a series of Otome games?
Judging from the game's visuals (6:17), it's full title is Mana Khemia: Alchemists of Al-Revis (Mana Kemia ~Gakuen no Renkinjutsushi-tachi~, マナケミア ～学園の錬金術士たち～). The sixth game in the series. There's 21 main games in this franchise (Atelier, or Atorie Shirīzu, アトリエシリーズ). Naturally, Fate/EXTRA needs no introduction (FATE series).
Bought Nayuta last year it was so good
Please try Mytran Wars. A great tRPG in the style of Front Mission.
Thanks for the tip, I’ll check it out!
Nova on the App Store when it came out slapped. Along with bad company lol
If there's a game "well 2 games" that i wished it got a full English translation for the PSP those has to be Wangan Midnight and Initial D. As cool as they look for a racing game it's a shame that it never got picked up for a translation.
Shows images of psp at start
Everyone with ppsspp : yes
4:46 -> street riders is a version of 187 ride or die? I played a lot 187
I cant wait to play most of these on my modded vs vita using Gepatch (native resolution) !!!!
I always recommend Brave Story and Shinobido for PSP
I wish I could play mana khemia again. I have a psp copy but a broken psp.
Zettai Zetsumei Toshi 3 is absolutely enjoyable gameplay. Should be mention
Thanks for the tip, I’ll check it out!
I think half the rpgs mentioned are Japan only because I can't find them anywhere. 😕
I wish Mana Khemia 2 was fully Translated. 😢
Hakuoki - Warriors of shinsengumi is just an otome game version of dynasty warriors
I kinda just re-watched this video so I could see the wannabe Nicholas D Wolfwood (Trigun) from your thumbnail. Can't tell me he's not a wannabe, dude smokes, wears a similar outfit, has a similar hairstyle, wears glasses, and has a cross related firearm. Too bad it wasn't any game mentioned in this list, I'd like to know which game he's from if any.
Zezonia ??? Never heard of it😂
Fun Fact: Fate/Extra is where Padoru memes came from.
Zenonia has so many Sequels LOL in Android and Ios
I don't understand how some big companies and even small ones don't do anything with their ip's but at the same time don't let anyone do anything with them. How someone can play a delisted game? I know that some other ways existe but why a company does not want to put their games in a online store for anyone to be able to buy and download legally?
Spent many hours on mana khemia..realy good game..
2nd round NG+ got a secret dungeon at old school house deep, normal pawns is crazy can 1 hit kill, until u go farther got previous 4 artelier boss & 1 mana khemia boss
What is that intro song called?
Nayuta has a PC remaster on steam
From what game is the guy in the thumbnail?
Nayuta no kiseki is a great game, it infinity difficult is insane 1hit from boss GG，replay to beat boss again until collapse,
Fate extra is just pokemon..but better and edgier.
I like hack and slash games 🎮
I liked the RPGs
Glad you enjoyed!
There's a game called God of war, that's a great game! And I don't think many people know about it.
Ok that was a bad joke, but seriously, on the PSP, I loved some NBA games, one was the NBA street and it was so damn fun, the other was NBA live 06, maybe 07, and in a hand-held, with the limitations, were super fun, and I don't even like regular basketball games.
May I please ask the name of the background music starting @ ua-cam.com/video/xddA8VC4yNA/v-deo.html during the Zenonia segment? Lots of great music choices in your videos. Thanks!
It's this catchy little tune from Zenonia 3 - ua-cam.com/video/ItofQIeQftA/v-deo.html
If I were to make a small suggestion for your content; would you consider clarifying in some way during the video, whether auditorily or through some on screen text, if the game you are showcasing has a physical version and possibly what region(s) it is available in? I ask because I LOVE watching all of your videos including hidden gems, but when I go to see how much a game I might be interested costs online I'm often disappointed to find out it was only released digitally and/or only in a specific region. I'm not too big on digital media even if it's free since older consoles require modding to get digital stuff and I'd rather just pop a disc/cart into my console and let it go on its own. Region specific games can also appear to be a tad deceiving when you play them on your videos in English despite not having an official English release. This tends to happen a lot on your PSP focused videos. No offense of course since I still enjoy your content. It's a bit of a niche thing I know, but I'm sure others like myself care greatly about physical media when videos like this pop up so it would be highly appreciated. :)
For sure I could add it under the name of the game in the corner. Thanks for the feedback!
@@thatvideogamesshow You, my guy, are awesome. Looking forward to your future content. ;)
Great least makes me want to pick up my vita and backward play my psp on it. 1:43 you mispronounced zenonia into zezonia.
street riders
I bet most of these games are expensive . Specially if it's an rpg.
hi can anyone tell me the title of the game at 8 mins thank you all
.
Anyone else just wish his voice was the standard AI voice
I don't know i don't like the character art in Hakuoki, its like Otome games...The Character design is not for man audience its like for girl sorry XD...i prefer other musou games like samurai warriors series, Kingdom: Ikki Tousen no Tsurugi, and other musou games with good artstyle without "pretty" boys artworks...
I dunno how can anyone call these gems, especially hidden, when they arent hidden, nor gems.
Mana Khemia is initially a PS2 game, so anyone who played PS2 prolly knows.
Psp also had Mana Khemia 2 which wasnt ever released for shitty westerners, hehe
Fate/Extra is...quite a bit known for it's repetitive gameplay which around after the first half bored even me, even though I cleared both Extra and CCC. Way before shitty westerners knew they existed.
Mimana Iyar Chronicle is a good game, no shit, but, well, nothing I'd call especially good. Pretty average.
If calling something a gem, why not Zettai Hero Kaizou Keikaku, which was pretty revolutionary for a rogue like, and also had extremely good humor, not that shitty westerners got any, despite getting the game itself.
I’m pretty sure those games are more hidden for most people
@@stubbwinkley4015 perhaps now, but in my days pretty much everyone knew.
