Hey all! I've decided to get into emulation properly after, like many of us, becoming disillusioned with the state of gaming at the moment. I've been quite happy with my decision and am really looking forward to getting back into so many titles I've missed out on over the last couple of decades.
I'm starting with my Vita so my question is: Are there any great games that people usually overlook on either the Vita or the PSP?
Thanks, and nice to meet you all!
 
Welcome to RGT, sir!

Try Gun Shodown for PSP, also GTA Chinatown Wars (since is often overlooked in comparision with the Stories), Ben 10 Protector of Earth and Crash of the Titans (this is more overhated than overlooked but still)
 
Wassup dude!!
People don't talk enough about Street Fighter Alpha 3 MAX, SOCOM, and Tenchu Shadow Assassins, which is a crime punishable by being shoved into a locker because those games are the shit!
 
Welcome to RGT!

I dont know about the Vita, but the PSP versions of Ridge Racer (1 and 2) and Star Ocean (1 and 2) are good. Theres also a anti-slowdown patch for Final Fantasy Tactics on PSP, and arguably the best version of Final Fantasy 1 through 4. Castlevania: Dracula X Chronicles on PSP is solid too.
(not exactly lesser known games, i know)
 
It may have been remastered, but Freedom Wars was an unforgettable experience back then on the Vita.

Greetings, by the by.
 
Welcome!! If you like the Uncharted games, try Golden Abyss for vita!

I've played (And really enjoyed) GTA CW- I also got a few hours into the PS2 version of Gun- is the PSP version different?
I'll take a look at the other two, thank you!

I'll certainly try SFA3 Max- I always enjoy Street Fighter and haven't played this one before.
As far as I know, there are like 3-4 SOCOM games on PSP- any to avoid or are they all solid?
I saw Tenchu before but was concerned about the camera controls with only one stick.

I wasn't a huge fan of the Vita Ridge Racer but I'll try the PSP games for sure.
Star Ocean will also be on my list when I have a couple hundred hours to spare. The early FF games are difficult for me to get into but FF Tactics has been on my list for a while.
As for Castlevania, I've only got into the series very recently (Please forgive me!) so I still have to play the 10/10 entries but I'll add this to my list for the future.

I was going to play it when I originally got my Vita back in 2014 but never found a copy and then, when it was released for PS4/5, I swore I'd finally play it but found that it doesn't seem as impressive on the PS5 as it would have been if I'd played it on the Vita. I'll still get around to it.... eventually.

Welcome to the forum!!
The Ridge Racer games on PSP and Vita are all solid, so are the Project Diva games.
2 recommendations for Ridge Racer makes me move it slightly higher on the list!
I've played most of the Project Diva releases between PS3/PS4- are there any titles exclusive to PSV/PSP?

Really enjoyed it, I played through most of it on a flight one time, I still think the secret cutscene is hilarious.

Tenchu Kurenai Portable (PSP)
Earth Defense Force 2 Portable (PSP)
I played EDF 2 on Vita- it's always great, mindless fun!
As mentioned earlier, my only concern with Tenchu is the camera control but maybe it's not that bad.

Already have Growlanser, looking forward to playing it!
Is the second game Valkyria Chronicles? Really enjoyed it on the PS3 but I remember getting stuck on a late mission.
Tactics Ogre is another game I've heard a lot about but never played, good call.
And Jeanne D'arc looks very interesting- I haven't heard anything about it so I'll have to check it out!

Apparently the PSP version is the same as PS2 but with downgraded visuals.
Also try Mega Man Powered Up and Maverick Hunter X
 
Greetings,
Yes I see... you too realize how crap modern gaming is lol
Sadly I cannot help you much with Vita or PSP titles, I have only emulated Wipeout and Curse Of The Moon, both good mind you. However... I can and will wish you a warm welcome to RGT.

Pirate, download, play.
 
Welcome to the forum.
I won't be of much help, because I play mostly older games than PSP/Vita. Anyway, nice to meet you.
 
I second the Earth Defense Force 2 suggestion. Such great camp and giant insects!

I really enjoyed Oreshika: Tainted Bloodlines.
 
Welcome.

Prince of Persia: Revelations is perhaps the most complete version of Prince of Persia: Warrior Within. The graphics took a hit when it got shrunk down for the PSP but they added new areas that aren't present in any other version of the game. The new areas aren't spectacular, but it sucks that nobody ever tried to mod them into another version of the game. For the longest campaign, you have to play it on PSP.
