Nintendo SWITCH vs PSP Go - Sony did it 8 years earlier?!? 

Here's my PSPGO story: I love this thing. I went and joined the Navy, and after boot camp, the first time they let you outside, I went to the store to get a PSP. That dumb store in Pensacola only had the Go version. Whatever, I just needed to game. I still have that PSPGo, and it was with me every time I was at sea.

I wish Vita also had the same kind of dock instead of a separate device like PS TV for TV play. I don't understand why they gave up TV connectivity after PSP.

I bought the PSP Go the day it was released. I still play mine regularly and I haven't even hacked it, yet. I could but am in no hurry.

Still rockin that sweet velcro wallet... i see you are a man of culture.

Sony really were ahead of the times with their whole PSP line. I really hope they get back into the handheld market!

I love how I can use my Dual Shock 3 with the PSP-Go. I still play the hell out of Dissidia.

Lol your wallet dude! 3:56 Took me back to the year 2002😂!

Still own the PSP 2000 that my mother got me for Día de reyes when I was a child. I'm 20 now and it took me 12 years to finally get a memory stick duo and now i'm in the process of getting more games for the system. I remember meeting only ONE person who owned a PSP GO. Not much love for this device, but there is no doubt it was ahead of it's time. I'm surprised on how much Sony inovated, but personally I feel the old PSP has aged much better than the GO did.

You should be over 1 million sub already, you’re way to good at this.

One thing you forgot is that the psp 2000 and 3000 models could connect to the tv with the component cable

A perfect video, dude. Really clear and well presented. Good on you for bringing people's attention to this.

One of my favorite RU-vidrs of all, much love! One of the best retro collecting youtubers that actually pushed me into the direction of doing so myself

the PSP Go is honestly a godsend for CFW

I love this kind of light hearted comparison videos! And I also love my PSP ;)

I had the second or third generation of the PSP that took UMD. It's still one of my favorite systems I ever owned. I loved that thing especially for the time. If it had a better browser I think youd see more people using them today.

Love seeing the PSP Go get some love. Would love to hear you talk about more modding. Perfect mod console. Thanks again Jesus

You should do a video on your wallet lol. Haven't seen one of those velcro style wallets in decades. Bringing back the memories.

this one is cool. I hope see more consoles and handhelds compression in the future

This is a super cool video. Love seeing the comparisons!

Possibly best video of 2019 MJ! Enjoyed it thoroughly!

PSP go with custom firmware....my daily driver!

Haha... wow that is pretty funny seeing the Switch next to the Game Gear. I always forget how big that thing was.

Love the channel man! Keep the awesome reviews and tips coming!

Great video, really enjoyed that comparison and I Would love to see a whole video of the nomad.

Spotted that Dream Theater box set lol... very nice!

I have a PSP 3000 and i love It!

6:06 Actually, you can still download games directly to the PSP from the PlayStation Store. If you go onto the PS Store via the PSP, you'll see all the icons have been replaced with friendly reminders that the store no longer exists. But the download option is still there. Go into it and you'll find a complete list of all your PSP purchases. Even purchases you've made via the PS3 or PS4.

Wow just discovered the channel. Gaming content with metal music on the background. *subscribed*

My favorite portable remains my PSP. It is extremely easy to add CF to it, and it can play PSP, PSOne, and gba games very well. Besides that it has the best sleep mode feature of any console in which it preserves power very well.

Got a PSP 3000 and a PSP GO and I love them both. I was so lucky to find a N340 cradle + component cable for only 40€

Awesome video! I never knew about the dock and bluetooth functionality for the PSP GO. So cool. I still love playing my regular PSP. It has some awesome games.

Fantastic video! This is why I love your channel.

It wasn't mentioned in the video, but in Japan they had special kiosks that you could essentially dump your physical media to your PSP. You did lose the UMD in the process and there was a fee associated with it, but it was the only official way of getting some physical only games into your PSP go officially. Also I think it should be mentioned of those downloadable titles, MANY original PSP games didn't make the digital cut. Digital games are also somewhat expensive since they don't really go down in cost all that much to buy. The best workaround for the PSP go is to buy an older PSP and use it to backup your games. PSP games are kinda like the other "old" cartridge systems, the games are not really protected much except for the disc not fitting in your PC to rip it. Furthermore, the PSP was designed to play digital games and so there are not any hacks or hoops to jump through---you get the game backups (however you choose), drag/drop them on a custom firmware PSP, and you are off to the races.

Remember the gameboy player Guys?

Great video! I bought the PSP Go on its launch day and I love it. The guy at Best Buy was trying to convince me to get the regular PSP but this was my first handheld and I got into the idea of all-digital because I had recently been playing games on an iPod Touch, which was pretty recent at the time. I remember checking out the PS store in the morning on launch day of the Go, because they didn’t officially announce what games would be there - most of the PSP games were not even available digitally at the time, so they added a ton on launch day. I guess this was also my chance to get these cool games that I missed like God of War Chains of Olympus, and not need to hunt down discs. Anyway I loved it and eventually got the Vita after that. Cheers!

This video was great! Good job as usual MJR!

I like my Switch but it has a lot of missing features. Drives me nuts the Pro controller doesn't support headphones.

This video will rocket fire the PSP go cradle which is already insane :)

Lots of cool information I had no idea about. Great video!

You're awesome man, thanks for being Metal Jesus...you ROCK!

Just for those who want to know, I have a 64gb memory card in my psp go and it works no problem. 32gb isn't the maximum 👍

I try to learn English by looking MJR's videos hehe ;) I love you man!!

Always looking forward to ur videos

Schooled! Thank you. Lots of good info there. Had no idea about the dock and emulators for the Go.

My neighbor moved and gave me his PS3, psp and PSP the one with disc plus alot of games. Im watching this and now I know how to use that PSP

Loved my psp go. Simply for metal gear peacewalker.

Love all your videos!

I'm sure this intro isn't as new as it seems to me, but wow. I love it!

I own the Vita and PSP, and I hope that Sony releases another handheld system as I admit, I like Sony's game systems a lot more than I like Nintendo systems these days. It is why I haven't bought a Nintendo Switch yet.

I used to play my Nomad connected to a TV since the 90´s, NOTHING new , It as portable and and a normal mega drive connected

Glad you mentioned the Nomad at the end of the video. Many people never heard of it.

i played and beat many games on my psp go while clocked in working at a verizon retail job in a small town in WI I remember my wrists hurting from long hours of use was its only negitive thing i can say ... it was as bit to small to hold for long periods of time. I remember I really really liked the d pad for challenging plate formers and its joystick was really good for racing games.. and liked the buttons alot more than my other 2 psp 1000 and 3000 models at the time. Your video reminds me that I used to rock this beast... maybe I should get another ... Thanks for bringing some light back on this "ahead of its time" system.

Still have my PSP GO, and boy were everyone jelous when I pacthed it to run "everything" . 16GB Internal + 16GB Memory Card, it was the perfect handheld, IF only it played N64 without any problems. Anyhow, still rocking it to this day and more!

Hey MJR, I have a ps4 and a switch, but I have a problem... where are all the good / decent couch co-OP games!!?! ( no pvp )

great video again dude enjoyed it

Dude, I love the show! Keep em' coming!

Switch - PSPGO - PS Vita - Nomad - Potato . Video coming up

It’s interesting to see old concepts recycle until they finally hit the right formula. Sometimes the difference between a flop and a hit is just a matter of refinement.

Thank you for making this video im happy now

Great video really enjoyed it metal j.

I have to admit I love my little PSP go it's great for on the go play I bought mine at Macy's they had a big vending machine in the store sadly the vending machine gone

No idea why but the "stupid expensive" with the sound effect made me crack up hahaha.

GREAT vid!! Very interesting comparison. And regarding the Nomad, I never owned one and don’t remember even hearing about it. So, really looking forward the Sega/Retro-bit Nomad HD clone coming out soon, so I can play actual game cartridges on the go.

Great vid. Good to see someone calling it how it is. Not to mention to variety do games on PSP!

Love the form factor of the psp go, but the price compared to regular 1000 to 3000 psps is just way too high.

Good video. I had the 3 standard versions of the PSP. I never had the PSP go. But yeah, Sony was ahead of their time. Sony's main problem was trying to force everyone to use their own proprietary storage format. And yes, Sega was ahead of their time on pretty much EVERYTHING.

Really nice vid 👌🏻 Now I’m considering on buying a PSPGo

The content of your videos lately have been suffering. Between the most recent ones I've watched (this video and your Darksiders remastered video) idk you have just been busy and throwing bullshit together last minute but I found this channel late and had many hours of great experience watching it until I caught up. I just feel the life and heart is gone sadly. I was so close to going patreon for the first time but I haven't seen it lately. I hope you go back to the MJR we all know and love.

3DS + WIIU + Learned from there mistakes = Nintendo Switch

Can't help myself, but my Vita systems still rule handheld wise 😂😋😋😋

You can make the PSP Go display a analog clock when you close the lid, when you press a shoulder/trigger button it make a cool wave effect on the clock screen, when you press both of them at same time you get a calendar

I recently bought a PSP Go on eBay because I was really wanting to relive my teens with some nostalgic portable gaming. Wound up selling it because it was excruciating to play with big hands. Wound up getting a mint 2001 and 3001 model instead. That's where it at.

The philips CD-i did it over 25 years earlier with the cd-i portable.

I paid only $30 on my psp go, super worth it

Metal Jesus love your videos!!

Great comparison video. I had no idea the psp go had a docking station and that you could use a ps3 controller

Still have my go. Only console I have with Phantasy Star Portable.... thanks Sony...

Using a Memory Stick Micro (M2) ribbon cable adapter to regular sized Memory Stick Pro Duo (imported from japan) you can then use a common Micro SD to Memory Stick Pro Duo adapter. My PSP GO is rocking 128 GB which is plenty. All fits inside if you fold it right and scrape some plastic off. Just Google "m2adapter cart fc2".

PSP go is literally my favorite system of all time, my PSP2000 was with me all throughout highschool and the PSPgo with its PS3 controller support easily became my favorite way of bringing my PS1 library on the go, and that includes all the crash and spyro games, all konami games and all PS1 classics not avilible on Vita, also ive kinda always wanted to see a Nvidea Shield Tablet Vs switch comparison video

Awesome vid 👏 deserves FAR more watches!!!

I used to have the PSP-3000 and some of my favorite games.... - Final Fantasy - Final Fantasy II - Final Fantasy III - Final Fantasy IV Complete - Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core - Final Fantasy Tactics War of the Lions - God of War Chain of Olympus - God of War Ghost of Sparta It'd be nice if these games were ported/remastered to PS4. In regards to the PSP-Go... I think Sony was thinking really far ahead into the future, but implementing an all digital handheld game console at that time was too early. Granted it would eliminate the need to use the fragile and cumbersome UMD format and given that games would be installed, it would load faster. However, an all digital game system was way too early back then.

I have a PSP Go but I just see it as a collectors piece, I would go for the plain PSP instead.

Great video, did not know about the dock! The original PSP only had a resolution of 480x272 as far as I remember. Was the GO really 480p? If so, that is amazing.

Great video idea! Thanks

I had a pspgo back in the day, played the ff, crash bandicoot and oddworld ps1 games on it for plane trips....... I got way more use out of it than my switch

Buy PS Vita and you can play all games; PS1, PSP, PS Vita games

Great Video! What Mario game is that at 10:41 ? Including sub titles for the short video game clips would be great for gamers to research and play! :) Thanks!

Could you do a video about an in depth explanation on what do you use to connect you consoles to your tv and wich consoles you have connected there., and could you also include sound management?

The PSP Go was a head of its time. Still not a fan of digital only consoles.

See i was planning on getting a psp 3000 or 2000 but now i don’t know go is pretty awesome

Great video didnt know the GO was that functional

Great video Jason! Btw not sure if anyone already mentioned before but Nyko released a dock accessory for the first Nvidia Shield that allowed you to connect it to a TV( the Shield can still connect to a TV without a dock using HDMI Mini, the dock just makes it easier.) nyko.com/products/nvidia-shield-dock. Wish I lived up there so I can lend it to you to check it out and see if it worth reviewing.

All-digital consoles are just a no-go for me.

Isn't the vita a better comparison to the switch?

Good video made me do several MJR signature "huh's" (the interesting i-didnt-know-that kinda huh)

Great video MJR. Did you know the PS Vita w/ custom firmware is also capable of TV-Out type functionality using a dock? The dock is actually a raspberry pie device with custom software that streams the image over wi-fi but there's very little latency and you're able to use a Dual Shock 3/4 using a custom plugin. Also there's a 'Dummy Adapter' built for the PSP Go that allows you to use standard SD Cards on the device. You can ditch the proprietary/expensive 16GB Sony Cards and add 200GB on your PSP Go!

As a portable, PSP Go. As a home console experience, Switch.

The PS Vita and the switch are my favorite portables. I always wanted a psp go though, the idea behind it was cool

Does anyone else instantly start nodding their heads every time MetalJesusRocks's intro kicks in ?

Metal Jesus Rockz. Great video as always.
