VITA What game(s) were you always hoping would get a PSP or Vita port, but never did?

One of the coolest parts about the PSP/Vits was that in the early years they were systems that you routinely saw get ports of full scale console games. On top of libraries of exclusices you could reasonably expect numerous console games to get the same treatment. It was a marvel to me that I could play near console-parity or at least mildly paired down versions of various console games. Tony Hawks Underground Remix on PSP and both PlayStation All-Stars and Need For Speed Most Wanted on Vita blew my mind back in the day!

With systems so capable, it wasn't uncommon to see people talking about games they hoped to see ports of. I'm curious what games y'all dreamed of having on the go that never quite came to be, at least not on PSP or Vita!

Final fantasy 12 goddamit

Bloodstained. I think it would have been a good port, it was being worked on by Armature who also handled the Vita ports of the MGS games.

With the way they released the GTA ports i was so sure that we were going to get GTA San Andreas on the PSP. I was ready to follow the godamn train while riding the train.

Type-0 on Vita (or localized for psp), but luckily for us fans have decided otherwise.

That Devil May Cry 1 PSP port or the supposed Sparda prequel never came to fruition. Capcom pretty much quietly canceled it without much fanfare, and hoped everyone forgot about it. You announced at one the E3's back in 2006 Capcom! If you didn't want to make it, you could've loudly announced like you did beforehand.

Also i think that they announced a Resident Evil game on PSP too in like 2009 and it was pretty much quietly canceled too

By that point, I had pretty much stopped by PSP games, so I probably heard and ignored/forgot it.

From what I can tell capcom went all in on the psp at first with world wide releases, and pretty much gave up on it till monster hunter exploded on the psp in Japan, then they just focused on that.

We were supposed to get megaman powered up sequels on it, as in the rest of the series and same with maverick hunter x, there was a plan to remake the x series in that style. Then the psp did okay numbers worldwide and the games didn't do very well at all.

As for the game I wish got ported to the psp, would be an improved verison of stella deus, atlus's FF tactics. An improved port with soome QOL improvements and a more recent and much better dub and it would have been great. It sadly did absolutely shoddy numbers.

I think that also the PSP piracy contributed to that since it was jailbreaked early on it's life cycle.

Pretty much, I recall that the homebrew scene grew massive early on in that scene.

I was even indulging in it myself with the liberty city first day release copy and , if I am recalling correctly, an injection method got me 3.30 hen with ease way back when.
