Dissidia: Final Fantasy

Not to bomb you with Square-Enix news, but have you noticed that they're working on a Final Fantasy themed game for the PSP called Dissidia: Final Fantasy? The gameplay sounds like a two-player fighting game but apparently it's got a script "double the length of Crisis Core".

This is actually last year's news but somehow I completely missed it, so it's not beyond possibility that you have too. The massive downside, of course, is that you'd have to fire up a PSP in order to play it, but I know some of you out there are masochistic enough to do that so presumably you'll be stoked when Dissidia hits stores.

Yes, Sephiroth is playable.

The PSP doesn't require any masochism at all - it's an awesome handheld console that's a little short on A-list titles.

And if we're going to pick on a console for having a lack of decent titles, there's this Wii I want to show you...

The PSP breaks my thumbs, and it's a disappointment compared to its potential. It's not a system completely without merit, but it absolutley fails to associate itself in my mind with "fun". The analogue stick is almost unusable and Sony should have taken notes on how Nintendo helps its developers create portable-appropriate games rather than scaled down console monstrosities. Still, that hasn't stopped me from buying more than one PSP in my life.

And as for the Wii - what lack of decent titles? It's got Super Mario, Sonic, Gain Ground, ToeJam and Earl... oh, wait, you mean game that come in boxes. Well, then, yeah, a little. *bashful grin* But it's so purty....
