Posted by simoniker on Monday July 12, 2004 @04:01PM from the exciting-and-new dept.

Thanks to GameSpot for its article discussing Sony's showcase of new features/software for its forthcoming PSP handheld, including confirmation that "up to 16 PSPs can connect together using the device's wireless LAN... without the need of a central hub device", as well as "several new PSP games, including a version of the anime-inspired PlayStation 2 shooter Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex... [and Harvest Moon and Need for Speed conversions.]" 1UP has further information and pictures, including the unveiling of Talkman, new PSP software which "accepts voice input from a microphone peripheral.. [and lets] a multi-lingual cartoon bird named Max... translate comments in one language into another."

Okay, so in less than 24 hours, we've gone from saying that the PSP has virtually no support, and certainly no new games, to saying that it has tons of features, and pleanty of new games.

"Plenty of new games" is definitely an overstatement. 20 titles, 1/4th of which are made by sony, another 1/4th are board games like Mahjong, and the other half are of dubious value.
