This handheld title is exclusive to the PlayStation Portable system, and was in fact the first game ever publicly shown for the handheld (Game Developer's Conference, March 2004.)
Unlike other Shutokou Battle series titles, the objective of Street Supremacy is to join a team, level up to become the team leader, recruit other rivals to join your team, and to take control of the various highways in Tokyo.

Rival teams in Street Supremacy include Rolling Guy, Fine Drive, Galaxy Racers, The Road of Justice, Departures, No Loser, Highway Outlaw, Free Way, Another Star, Unlimited, Neo Limited, Speed Masters R, and Wanderers (much like other Shutokou Battle titles, Wanderers have certain requirements that need to be met before challenging the player). Some bosses from the other titles appear in Street Supremacy as Wanderers by default. Street Supremacy is the only Shutokou Battle series title where rivals can change teams during the game and teams can disband during th

The PlayStation Portable version of Spider-Man 2 uses the same engine as 2002's Spider-Man. Because of this, the gameplay is virtually unchanged, and many locations from the first game are reused, as is its scoring system, which assigns players a score at the end of each level based on various factors, such as the time taken to complete the level and the number of combos used. The player can crawl walls and web swing, though Spider-Man is only able to move forward in a straight line. They can also lock their camera onto certain enemies and web them.
As Spider-Man, players must master new combo moves as they protect the city of Manhattan from the nefarious Doc Ock and other classic Marvel villains by swinging, jumping and wall-crawling through 19 new levels that extend beyond the film.

World Tour Soccer: Challenge Edition (WTS; known simply as World Tour Soccer in the United States) is the PlayStation Portable version of the popular PlayStation and PlayStation 2 game This Is Football (TIF), created by SCEE's London Studio and released in 2005.
WTS featured very similar gameplay as TIF but was not a direct port of its forerunner as a number of areas were enhanced - particularly the challenge mode referred to in its title.
WTS has emulated TIF's success by selling over half a million copies in PAL territories.
As a result of its success, a sequel to WTS was developed by SCEE and released as World Tour Soccer 06 in 2006.
