Add Mega Man Starforce Dragon/Leo/Pegasus and Mega Man Starforce 2 ZerkerxNinja/ZerkerxSaurian to the list as well.  Abbreviate to 1 and 2, if you want, and they're on the DS.




Also, note that Mario and Luigi is the second one, I believe, which is "Mario and Luigi: Partner's in Time"; the first game is on the GBA.

PSP has FF1 and FF2 remakes, but I'm not sure how much of a remake it is or if it's just a port.

For the DS you forgot the most important SRPG: HOSHIGAMI REMIX.

From what I remember hearing about FF1 PSP it is another DoSish style thing with yet again very minor tweaks here and there like most of the ports.  It isn't say FF3 level.  I presume FF2 is roughly the same just off hand.

You're correct on both counts.

It's worth noting that the PSP and DS version of Disgaea have more new content (Etna Mode, 2/3 of new characters) than War of the Lions (basically adds two characters, 3 maps for a Beowulf sidquest, and a random fight against Kletian).

Otherwise I don't see anything that hasn't already been covered.

<NotMiki> I mean, we're talking life vs. liberty, with the pursuit of happiness providing color commentary.

And multiplayer support and bonus missions for it as well, this is discounting the retranslation which is great.  You are selling FFT very short there.
Edit 2 - Also FFT adds a game that isn't shit of course.

PSP:

The Legend of Heroes: A Tear of Vermillion
The Legend of Heroes II: Prophecy of the Moonlight Witch
The Legend of Heroes III: Song of the Ocean

[Note: These are LoH 4, 3, and 5 respectively in Japan and available on other platforms there.  But these are the only versions released in the US, so they should count.]

He's already included GoC on the list, Tal, which is also on the PS2 in Japan, but only availible in the US on the PSP. They count.

From what I remember hearing about FF1 PSP it is another DoSish style thing with yet again very minor tweaks here and there like most of the ports.  It isn't say FF3 level.  I presume FF2 is roughly the same just off hand.

To be specific...

Both games have redone graphics cause OMG THIS MATTERS SO MUCH, etc.  They're still 2D.  Also uses the Origins version of Music, which is the same as DoS but better quality, etc.

FF1 sounds like it just adds in boss themes for the SoC bosses (eg Battle on the Big Bridge plays for Gilgamesh instead of the Fiend Battle theme, the other bosses get a remixed version of bosses from the home game), and a grand total of ONE MORE AFTER GAME DUNGEON complete with a few new equips (cause apparently the SoC equips weren't cracked out enough, with some obsoleting freaking Masamune).

FF2 adds in apparently like 4 new dungeons or something called Arcane Labyrinth, complete with 2 new spells and a unique equip for every PC in the game.

Yeah, they're basically just another "enhanced port" thing and not really a remake.
