What? The PSP in Japan doesn't have eroge. lol. It has dating sims and visual novels (like the Xbox 360 and DS) but not eroge. With the exception of one of the more obscure game consoles in Japan in the mid-90s (PC-FX I think it was called), eroge games are PC exclusive. If it doesn't have hentai content, then it's either a dating sim or a visual novel. It has to have hentai in order for it to be considered eroge.


It has neutered eroge ports (like Saturn, DC, PS2, 360, etc did/do).  Which I guess makes them 'normal' ADVs in that they only imply the sex rather than show it.

PCE also had real eroge towards the end though iirc, but I think ports were still more "softcore" than the PC originals (ie: no rape).

How can you say that when it´s pretty comon in Japan to announce a game that is going to be released in three months and when when most of the games that get announced from Japan every week are actually PSP games?

Dissidia 2, Agito and Little Battlers are obviously the big games for 2011 but i'm sure we will see lot of mid-tier franchises in 2011 like Ace Century (actually announced), some Tales of spin-offs and more 200k sellers.

Little Battlers is Q1 (March), it's within the period I was talking about.  So is ACEP actually, in fact it releases even earlier (Jan iirc).  I did forget about Dissidia 2 though, that's probably going to end up being in the spring or summer.  I think Tales may be done on PSP, with RM3 being the last release.  Tales Studio already has their hands full between PS3 stuff and forging ahead on 3DS.  Maybe we'll still get a Destiny R PSP port though.

But have you looked at PSP's lineup.  It really is like 90% ADV/galgame/eroge/shovelware in Japan already... it's a lot like the end of PCE/SS/DC, only the shooters instead went to 360.

Just because they aren't on a Nintendo system doesn't mean they're crap.

DC, Saturn, GC, N64 every dead system i can think of wish it had this kind of lineup in japan :P

December should fun

You also forgot about WKC portable btw.

@jarrod  PSP2 supposed to come out fall of next year, makes sense to slow down PSP production, just like Ninty is doing with DS

Er... no, N64/GC pretty much had no galgames.  Neither did MegaDrive, does Wii, or PS3 (yet), and even though PS1/DS had/have some, they were a definite minority of the overall library (unlike PSP).

WKCP isn't 3rd party. ;)

I actually noticed today that at a store which had the psp3000 in discount for 129.99 euro's which I was tempted to buy they actually didn't stock the PSPgo anymore... >_>

Okay... but shy not "slow down" when it launches, like Nintendo?
