Whatever the NGP ends up being called, whether it is NGP, PSP2 or PS Vita, potential owners of it and current PSP users can rest assured that any current title that they may have downloaded for the PSP via PSN will be backwards compatible with the device. No matter if the purchase came from the PS3, PSP or Media Go store, users will be able to transfer their games on over and continue to play. The good news does not end there though. The NGP which is powered by a completely different architecture will playback the games via  a software emulator which will also give users the ability to turn scaling on to help improve and smooth out the graphics. This is a huge plus, seeing how the NGP will run on a 5-inch OLED screen which can make anything slightly old look even worse, due to it’s extremely high quality nature. Those of you who are familiar with the NGP will also point towards the dual analog stick, something PSP owners have wanted from the beginning. Now, you will get you wish, as PSP games will also be able to take advantage of the NGP’s dual analog stick and other media outlets have already seen PSP games like Resistance: Retribution running on the device, using both sticks.

I’m sure we will have plenty more news, related to the NGP with next weeks E3 press conference. Just a reminder that we will be attending the attend and Live Blogging it for you so remember to check back in with us the day of! With the NGP being able to play PSP titles, which titles would you most likely replay again?
