Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy
Square Enix
Square Enix
Two years ago, Square Enix decided to take the best of the characters of Final Fantasy and mash them into one epic RPG worthy of anyone’s collection. The only thing that could possibly be better in the portable handheld RPG sphere must be it’s sequel, which kicks us off nicely for this “Most Wanted” list!
Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy explores the events that lead up to the story of the original and will give us a better understanding of the epic battle between the two Gods, Cosmos and Chaos. Gone is the “chess-style” map – Square Enix have opted a more traditional take on the RPG. With revamped systems, controls, gameplay and a sweet lineups of characters, Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy is a must have title for everyone’s PSP collection.
Ys I & II Chronicles
Hudson Soft
XSEED
Since we’re on the subject of RPGs (and, looking over the list of PSP titles this year, will be for most of this list!), we can’t go past the classic series that is Ys. Ys is one of the earliest RPG’s (if not one of the earliest games) ever made and is being remade for the PSP.
Combining the first two games in the series, Ys I & II Chronicles tells the tale of Adol Christin who sets out on a journey to find the six Books of Ys, which contain the history of an ancient land (called Ys). Adol must explore the world of Esteria to find the books, and unlock the secrets of the ancient world. While the games were remade onto Nintendo DS in 2008, it’s about time the team bring a version to PSP. The game has a massive “cult” following and rightly so. Add this to the “will get” pile.
Petapon 3
Pyramid Japan
Sony Computer Entertainment
Before we dive into what feels like a pool of RPG, let’s take a sidestep to the “Rhythm Platform” world with Petapon 3. The Petapon series is one of those titles that seem oddly suited to handheld consoles.
Players look forward to controlling countless Petapons using the drum beats by tapping the corresponding face buttons. You will need to do this sequentially and in the right order to issue commands to your tribe. The game offers super sleek styles and, judging by the last two in the series, is extremely addictive.
Multiplayer has been enhanced in number 3, including a co-op and four way competitive battles meaning hours of fun will be had long after the main story is complete.
Monster Hunter Freedom 3 (aka Monster Hunter Portable 3rd)
Capcom
Capcom
Monster Hunters need not fear, we have the perfect game for you in 2011! Monster Hunter Freedom 3 has recently become Capcom’s best selling game of all time, and it’s only been released in Japan so far!
The reason is because Capcom have found the perfect balance between hardcore gameplay, fierce online competition and social appeal. The game was built to be a winner, and will most likely make a splash when it hits later this year.
We simply can’t wait for this one to splash down in Australia – it’s probably out most anticipated PSP release this year!
The 3rd Birthday
Square Enix
Square Enix
Speaking of highly anticipated games of 2011, The 3rd Birthday is high up there on our list! The 3rd Birthday takes sexy Aya Brea from the Parasite Eve series and throws her into a 3rd Person Shooter Cinematic RPG.
A mysterious evil force known as the “Twisted” have taken over the city. Hideous monsters are killing civillians and wreaking general havoc. You will use Aya’s powers to take over the minds of the human army, stategically placing them to shoot at various targets. Of course, you will also control Aya and also the Twisted throughout the game, leading to some cool gameplay.
But perhaps the most talked about feature of this title is the “cosplay” aspect. Aya will have lots of different costumes you will be able to dress her in. Interestingly, her clothes are fully destructable, ripping and tearing off as she takes battle damage. The 3rd Birthday is due to launch sometime in “Q1″ of 2011. It looks great and has cool gameplay everyone (except your girlfriend) will love.
Okay, we know – this list is a little short. The current PSP line up for 2011 is a little short, so we picked to best (in our opinion)! Let us know what games you’re most looking forward to on PSP below!
Tomorrow, we will bring you our most anticipated games for Xbox 360 in 2011. You can check out our list of the most wanted titles on PlayStation 3 by clicking here! We will also be doing a community feature later on, so we need your suggestions!
