No Nonsense Review: Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights PSP

A greatly improved version over the original title. More responsive controls, better graphics, and nicer cars. Just wanted to say Drift Racing.

Overall score 7/ 10

 

Fair Price for PSP Porn Titles

As strange as it sounds when it comes to PSP porn titles, it's a seller's market. The reasons behind this is simple. Few titles, limited market back in the day. Plus the fact there were only available in places that sold porn. Even then places that cared to sell such a unique item. Take here in the US, we got 2 titles, Casey The Co-ed. I have only ever seen this title listed twice on Ebay , selling for $9 and $90. That is no mistake, 2 prices $80 apart. Although you can get a DVD of Casey for around $10. I know of at least 15 released in Europe. Bouncy and even a teaser video called Dream Models.  As for Japan, I hear from collectors that they are fairly easy to find on Japanese sites. But even then they can be expensive. I am uncertain on how many tiles were released in Japan.

Mainly imports, and even then who actually has one. It would be safe to say finding a rare import PSP game is easy to find in comparison . Or that Adults Only content Playboy had available to it's subscribers for the PSP. Although I have heard of some seeing them, no confirmed case of actual ownership.  In other words hard to find, and according to collectors not impossible to find. 

All I can say is good luck to anyone wishing to start a PSP porn collection. 

UPDATE

From other PSP collectors I got an update about Playboy and it's PSP content

No mystery, they did one promotional release for their paid service with the contents you mentioned (all of them SFW), and everything behind the paywall was just a downscaled version of the normal online content.

Pornographic PSP Videos in Japan

 As originally posted on IGN

Our Japanese correspondent warned us that this news was on the way after hearing reports of interest on this side of the business, but it's absolutely official now: Japanese adult video producers will be releasing UMD Video erotica for play on PlayStation Portable. The first company to get the PSP all hot and bothered has already announced five titles for Japan, with more to come.

GLAY'z's official website is currently listing five titles for release in Japan this July on the PSP's video format (and no, we won't pass you the link to that site. All five discs will feature explicit content -- these aren't the softcore AV Idol releases you might expect being released for play on a videogame machine -- and most are uncensored. Titles announced so far include four featuring perhaps-known Japanese porno queens (we won't personally cop to knowing who these starlets are), with the fifth being part of an ongoing series of tapes from the GLAY'z hunting hounds, focusing on certain perversions that can only be summed up by the icky, icky subtitle of the disc: "Premature flesh is the area which became wet hotly."

The full title spread includes the following UMD Video discs scheduled for release in Japan (and nowhere else) so far:


July 8: The Nurse of a Big Breast - Mitsu Amai (3800 yen, uncensored)

Summary:
A UMD Video disc release of the Japanese erotic video release. The material on this UMD is obviously NOT intended for anybody other than mature audiences seeking adult entertainment. Each GLAY'z UMD Video title features approximately two hours of video. The Nurse of a Big Breast features starlet Mitsu Amai -- for more info on this particular title, read the title, look at the cover art, close your eyes, and imagine. Enjoy responsibly. This UMD Video is not a playable game, but instead a portable, widescreen-version of the erotic video. *Despite early reports from some news outlets, this disc is region coded, and will only play on Japanese systems.

July 8: Goku Hong - Riko Tachibana (3800 yen)

July 8: High Grade Class First Soap Lady - Anna Kaneshiro (2800 yen)

July 22: Loli Nanpa 5 (3800 yen, uncensored)

July 22: Erotic Terrorist Beautiful Body - NOA (2800 yen, uncensored)

These dirty discs are officially marked with a Region 2 code for Japanese playback only, making import (unless you also have a Japanese PSP) a fruitless effort. However, while we have not been able to verify this, there have been reports that these discs will not have region restrictions -- we'll get right on that to track down further details ... if you're interested.

Why, might you ask, would Sony Computer Entertainment allow this kind of material for play on its handheld videogame system? Well, for one, Japan is a lot more lenient with allowing adult content to be marketed in ways that American audiences would force SCE's doors shut over (although there have not been official releases with content this extreme carrying an official Seal of Approval, there is a long history of "adult-oriented" videogame releases on major consoles ... in fact, some major publishers have perverted skeletons in their closet with Japanese 'hentai' releases.) Beyond that, the UMD Video format is one that Sony has opened up to all media producers, keeping only the PSP's UMD Game format entirely under lock-and-key. Opening up the format has invited nearly every major publisher in the movie industry (as we reported last week in our article, Coming Soon To UMD: Every Movie Ever Made, Warner Bros. is the only major hold-out in America), as well as indie producers (including smaller houses like Lion's Gate), specialty producers (including anime producer Geneon and music producer Eagle Rock), and now erotic adult entertainment producers.

If the selection of titles at GLAY'z doesn't stroke your interest (and we're REALLY hoping that's the case for one of those titles in particular) but you are in the market for adult entertainment for play on your PSP, keep your fires burning -- this is likely the first of a slew of Japanese AV releases from various publishers sure to hit the system in due time. We're not sure when or if American adult video producers will get in on the act -- although Hugh Hefner is already ahead of the game with its PlayBoy Station Portable PSP service -- so stay tuned for more details.

GT PSP DLC Is Just Not There Despite What Some Sites Say

 I step aside from my usual posts for something that has been driving me crazy ever since I first heard of "Connectivity" between the PSP and the PS2. I will admit it took me longer than I hoped and more downloads that I like to admit before I could out the truth. 

That there are only 8 PS2 / PSP games with this feature and none of them include GT on ANYTHING!!! 

I say ANYTHING because it was doing research for my post that I discovered possible PS3 connectivity with GT5. Let me set the record straight no connectivity, no GT PSP DLC period. I checked both GT5 XL Edition and GT Prologue. Both are excellent racing games but no connectivity and especially not with the PSP. Despite what some might say, it's in the game menus, often hidden, but if it is there it's very clear. 

So please do not insist something is there unless you have rock solid proof like a screenshot.

No Nonsense Review: Neopets PetPet Adventures The Land of Wishing PSP

This one requires a gameplay video

It's a very unusual RPG although can be fun, it can also be tedious at times.

Overall score 6/10

 

No Nonsense Review: Petz Hamsterz Bunch PSP

I guess it's a ok Petz game, if your in to such a thing. But my real problem was that I was unsure what to do. The game gives you zero clues and what little I played it, as I really wasn't into the game. I could not figure out what to do until I check out a YouTube playthrough video.

In short if your really into these kind of games get it, not avoid. 

 

Super Mario 64 Ported to Vita, PSP, PS2, PS3 and PS4!

Yes, you read right... Super Mario 64 has been ported to the Vita, PSP, PS2, PS3 and PS4 (not to be confused with emulated)! You will need to build your own copy of the game using your own legitimately obtained N64 Rom.Super Mario 64 is arguably one of the greatest video games of all time, and certainly one of the most significant releases of it's time. Personally, I remember having my parents drop me off at Toys 'R' Us for hours at a time, just so that I could sample a little of this incredible 3D platformer on the demo-kiosk before it was officially released to the public. I will never forget when Babbage's called me three days prior to the release of the Nintendo 64, and said I could come pick up my console and copy of Super Mario 64 that day. I spent countless hours mastering the controls, obtaining all 120 stars, and just enjoying the beautifully created worlds.

Fast forward 24 years later, and the game is still getting lots of attention; both from Nintendo with the rumored release of Super Mario 64 for the Nintendo Switch (which I will definitely be purchasing day one, and seeing if I can jump to top of the castle with 0 stars), and also from the underground scene communities. As many of you probably already know, developers have been hard at work reverse engineering the game to create a de-complied source code, which led to the recent release of the PC port of Super Mario 64. And now thanks to the advancements of the various PlayStation scenes, we now have a ports playable on PS Vita, PS TV, PSP, PS2, PS3 and PS4.

You might ask yourself, "Why would I care about a port of a game I can already play through an emulator?" Well, for starters, being a port there is a much more room for upgrades and modifications. For example, there has already been a release of Super Luigi 64 to the Vita, which replaces Mario with a developer created Luigi model as well as changes the text in various scenes, so you can now enjoy the whole game as the other brother. And this is just the beginning... who knows what else we will see in the future.

As for other ports coming soon, we will have to wait and see what time brings us. Now there is a port playable on every PlayStation console with the exception of the PS1. There is just no telling where this game will pop up next. We have already seen the game popping up on MS-DOS, Android, Dreamcast and even Xbox.
