"Our PSP NBA series is the only sports series that we know of that has been created from the ground up specifically for the PSP (as in, it's not a port). Since it is not a port it can be optimized year-after-year to be tailor-crafted for the PSP. This has resulted in silky-smooth 60 frames per second gameplay and an absolutely feature-packed UMD.
Being on a portable system has been a huge influence on the design of NBA 09: The Inside on PSP. We have always tried to have a fast-paced game that could be played in short bursts. The on court action is quick and fun, plus there are a ton of mini-games to try. But of course, if you have loads of time, you can play multiple seasons in our new Franchise mode.
What we'd really like to talk about today is one of our favorite mini-games for this year's version. It's called ElimiQuest and it's a little unorthodox. So we'll start by explaining the development process and how it came to be."
