What are your guys’ favorite PSP games and why? We’ve all seen the Top 10 lists and those games are amazing, but are there any gems that specifically called out to you that didn’t get much coverage? How did they make you feel and did you have any fond memories of playing the PSP when you were younger?
I dug out my old soft modded PSP GO (not pictured) from a drawer at my parent’s house and immediately went on a definitely legal buying and installing spree and think I have a pretty good library of games, but wanted to kind of compare notes.
I’m a late to the party with PSP but I’m a Yu-Gi-Oh fanatic, and Tag Force are my favorite games in the entire franchise of Yu-Gi-Oh video games. I got a PSP for dirt cheap, but also because I wanted to experience my favorite games in its original quality. But, on another note - Ridge Racer PSP and Tekken are also amazing quality games.
I completely forgot about the Tag Force games! Tag force 2 was the shit! Thanks for unlocking those memories. Would you say theres any yugioh games out there now that are similar to tag force or one you may like better?
Unfortunately no. Konami takes a lot of inspiration from Tag Force in all their later games but hadn’t come close to scratching that itch and having the same quality.
There’s Tag Force 6 and Arc-V Special (for which you need the translations respectively, I worked with the translator together to iron out some bugs).
There’s all their Tag Force clones (5Ds Duel Transer on Wii, 5Ds on PS3/360, Legacy of the Duelist) but these are literally just clones in terms of gameplay.
There’s also the games on DS and 3DS that were contemporaries to Tag Force at the time.
And then there’s the mobile games - Duel Links and Cross Duel. Cross Duel was their latest effort which they’re shutting down sadly (so give it a shot while it’s still up, until September, but no worries, I’m working with some people on a custom server for the game anyway)
And lastly - there’s the Rush Duel Battle Royale game on Switch which is the most similar to Tag Force.
