PSP Go almost has two analog sticks
When I first got picked up my original PSP years one of my biggest gripes was the fact that it had only 1 analog stick. Several hardware upgrades later, and still no second analog stick.
Now, with PSP Go rumors circulating I had my fingers crossed that perhaps Sony would finally add that much sought after stick. Then came the pictures, and nope, no stick. However, according to a recent Game Informer, the control scheme was considered.
Below is a quote from Sony Worldwide Studios’ President, Shuheu Yoshida:
We also felt — like many users — that we wish we had a second analog on the PSP. But we are talking about the mid-life cycle of this platform, and the PSPgo is designed to be perfectly compatible with the PSP-3000 and all the games that released before that. So we had a very serious discussion about this particular subject, but we decided not to add a second analog, and some of the developers are doing quite a nice job translating the second analog functionality to different buttons. We didn’t want to divert their efforts either.
Does this mean we can expect 2 analog sticks on the PSP 2/PSP Go 2/whatever they decide to call it? Let’s hope so.
