Small nitpick but it's actually Final Fantasy III that's being remade for the DS.

Hork. I'm a noob. I'm in my base, killing my credibility.

GTA2?  Are they seriously thinking of releasing that?

And FFVI, is it really being released on GBA?  If Square keep rereleasing their greatest hits in portable format, I'm going to be a very poor man.  Chrono Trigger DS/PSP plz.

Chrono Trigger for the PSP has been out for quite some time now.  :wink:

Until the next good PSP game fucks up your hardware version.

Oh, wait...

Nothing has made me go beyond 2.0 yet.  2.0 has a downgrader, but I really haven't bothered. FIFA 06, Legend of Heroes, GTA: LCS, Virtua Tennis World Tour, and XMen Legends 2 have made staying at 2.0 relatively painless.

Two straight ports in there, but two ports that I have enjoyed immensely.  XMen Legends 2 is the perfect hack-n-slash for the system.

How does it stack with the console version, besides not being on sale at Target?

Has a few more unlockable characters that aren't terribly well done.  Has 9 extra comic book missions outside the actual story line. Action can be a bit small on the screen at times.  Some annoying loading when accessing menus.

So, a little extra content, but a little bit of the PSP's nature flaws included as well.  It's just everything Untold Legends wishes it was gameplay wise. It just works remarkably well on the format.

5 and 6 are both coming out for the GBA.  3 is coming out for the DS as is a Crystal Chronicles game and a Mana game.

Heh, Schild made a funny.

I won't be satisfied until they release Mystic Quest.

Can't go wrong with a game whose final boss dies from a heal spell.

Seriously, though Mystic Quest had some good music...

Mystic Quest was the first RPG I ever played where you could see the monsters instead of there being random encounters, so it's got that going for it at least.

Edit:  Actually to clarify that it was the first console-style RPG I played where you could see the monsters.  Obviously that kind of thing had been in PC games for sometime.
