So after playing BiT generations (DS), Lumines (PSP), Meteos (DS) I realize that I love these little quirky games.

So, you guys have any suggestions on cool quirky handheld games that dont have any deep involving story but still just suck your time away? Doesn't have to be US Domestic, I'm willing to import if its good enough :)

Loco Roco is hella cool! But it just wasnt long enough for me :) As soon as i started and was like this is HELLA cool.. it was over.

Every Extend Extra. I tried. I really tried. It got good reviews, I tried it. But it had to go back. it just didnt do it for me. (yes yes i know i am teh lam0rz)
 
Puzzle Quest. There is a "story," but it's basically just leveling up to have ever-more-complicated puzzle "battles" with people. Among the PSP games I own, the time spent on Puzzle Quest is only second behind the godly Hot Shots Golf: Open Tee.

(BTW, I know you asked for quirky puzzle games, but seriously -- HSG is an amazing time sink. I'm not even a huge golf fan, and it has consumed over 100 hours of my life.)
 
Xi and Gitaroo Man for the PSP. Puyo Pop and Rhythm Tengoku for the GBA. I thought Zoo Cube was decent. Super Dodgeball Advanced is pretty quirky too.

Elite Beat Agents
Ouendan (If you like Jap style music)
Ouendan 2 (If you like Jap style music)
WarioWare for DS <- Get it a bargain price if possible. So much better on the Wii, but it is quirky.
Katamari for PSP - I never tried it for PSP, but it is quirky.
 
chu chu rocket


...for the wii would be great. You point on screen to select square and use dpad to place arrow on given square. 4 people 4 wiimotes and a whole bunch of fun. If someone has the power please make it happen...
 
I think I'd prefer a DS version of Chu2 honestly... touch interface would be about the fastest way to play. Throw in WFC play and a puzzle creation/download component and I'd definietly throw down $29.99 (again!).
 
Sorry to bump this, but I also love quirky titles, and would much appreciate if you guys keep posting your favorites, so I can hunt them down.

I second the Puzzle Quest recommendation. It might be the best handheld game I've played.

The original WarioWare and WarioWare: Twisted! are awesome if you haven't yet played them. Twisted was criminally underlooked.

I would have bought it, if there had been a European release. Does anyone know whether I'll still find it in Canada (Toronto / Quebec area) during my vacation next week?
 
oh fruck, it looks like I have to track down rythm tengoku.

How much costs the Gameboy micro nowadays? I dont have an SP anymore, and it would be nice to buy a micro to play this and other games for it.

It is possible to play metal gear babel in a micro?

Gotta voice some support for this, it's all I've been playing lately (and I'm not a golf fan)


Super Puzzle Fighter. I haven't tried the PSP port, but I've spent hundreds of hours on the arcade version. Addictive as hell, with a lot of subtle depth to it.
The PSP port is called Capcom Puzzle World or something similar.

edit: There's a GBA version as well, which plays just as well!
