I really hope we get KH: BBS this year.

In any case....

*faints*

I remember how I scorned the PSP for being the only disappointing PS System ever

erghh....guys I see that changing maybe

To be honest, it's not only Nintendo. I don't think anyone expected such a massive wave of PSP support. In Japan, sure. But here...

I know Sony were promising 'increase of PSP support' last year, but all the journos were laughing at them at the time, and didn't believe a word. And, to be honest, I didn't believe in most of it, either.

What kind of response? Does this change anything for Ninty?

It does, definitely. No matter what some people say Nintendo and Sony are at least competing for 3rd Party support. And Nintendo had to face the effect of decreasing 3rd Party support in 2008 on both Wii and DS, at least in Japan. Nintendo want to appeal to a different market but if developers feel like Sony is the better way to go they'll develop for Sony platforms obviously. Nintendo hasn't announced a big DS line-up so far as they are focusing on the Wii currently.

UK's well-renowned MCV got some more info and confirmation:

SCEA’s director of hardware marketing John Koller said earlier that: “At Destination Playstation we announced about half of the line up for the PSP this year, some fairly major, triple-A titles are coming for the back half of the year that are going to be announced in the coming months and at E3.”


And an SCEE spokesperson has added to MCV that “we'll be outlining the release of additional, new and existing IPs for the platform in the coming months”.

Some are already calling this July’s event as the PSP E3, and it’s certainly an exciting time for Sony’s battling machine.

Hopefully there will be more JRPG... because most of the line-up appealed only to western gamers, and I kind of dislike western games on the handhelds.

DQX Wii/PSP simulteneous release

BELIEVE!

Oh there are JRPGs coming for PSP, alright. Here's a list I made a month or so ago:

Ape Escape RPG
Tales of the World 2
FFXIII Agito
Kingdom Hearts
Brandish
Disgaea 2 Portable
Persona
Parasite Eve
Cardboard Senki (Level 5)
Ushiro (Level 5)
Harvest Moon: Sugar Village
Zill O'll Infinte (Koei)
Mana-Khemia Portable
Yuusha 30
Narisokonai Eiyuutan (Irem)
Class of Heroes (Atlus)
.hack/link
Growlanser Portable
Phantasy Star Portable (US/Europe)

I'm thinking Killzone Liberation 2 is one of them. It's good to see such an avalanche of PSP game announcements, Sony have kept their word.
