Raigan Burns and Mare Sheppard of Metanet Software have gathered plenty of praise and awards (such as Audience Award at the 2005 Game Developers Choice Awards) for their 2004 indie platformer, N. You take the role of a ninja who must flip, walljump, and climb your way through hundreds of levels, many of which were created by fans using the in-game editor. It's a simple game on all fronts that captivated players with realistic physics and plenty of non-violent ninja-ing.Now, Atari and Silver Birch have announced a publishing deal to bring N to the PSP, cleverly titled N+. The game comes packed with over 500 levels, including 50 user-created stages from fans of the original game. The PSP incarnation doesn't appear to contain any additional content over the free PC/Mac/Linux game, but portability (and a decent PSP title to own) might be the biggest selling points.
N+ has also been announced for Xbox Live Marketplace and is scheduled for release this fall.

This game is like lode runner meets sonic 3 meets ninja gaiden meets some arthouse flick. A++
I would get this on the PSP except I don't have a PSP, and hell it's free on PC.
PLAY N NOW.

So now with Crush, R-Type Tactics, N+, Every Extend Extra... I might end up buying a PSP after all. Oh God, did I just say that? I feel unclean...

Atari and Silverbirch are producing N+ for PSP, and also DS. Woohoo! Both are scheduled to be released later this year.
Also, we have not confirmed how many levels there will be in any version of N+, and also have not confirmed any user-created levels. The stats in this post sound much more like they belong to N v1.4 for PC, not N+.
We'll post this officially on the Metanet news page shortly!

Better yet, it might make me want to play the damn thing again.
Well, depending on how much it costs. I'm not paying $70 AU for a handheld game when I could spend $100 AU for a "real" game.
Suppose I'll wait for time to tell.
