Of Course














Not



Sadly, no.
Just get a PSP. LOTS of good games out there.



I dont think you can unfortunately.

But it will more than likely be possible when the vita comes out. :)

So it is on the PSN, but you have to play it on your PSP? So the PSN is not separate like the DSi vc or the wii vc?

On the PS3, it is PS3 and PSP united since you can install games from the PS3 to the PSP.

On the PSP, it is PSP only.



PSN and Virtual console are diferent .. a PSP game is a still a PSP game on PSN. SNES game is not a Wii or a DS game thus not tied to a specific hardware.



You have three options here:

- Buy a PSP (obviously);
- Buy the original FF Tactics from the PSN;
- Wait for the PSV



Assuming you haven't played the original already, just download that
