Yeah, you want something different in a handheld game... you want something probably simpler to pick up, something that is easily playable in small amounts of time (since you usually don't devote the same amounts of time in straight blocks to a handheld game that you would a major console game)... not just a port of a home title. Oh, some of those are okay, but mainly when they are changed... like save-at-most-recent-door in LttP. And even then... you don't want too many of them. It seems like after the initial period Sony will be very hard pressed to keep people from just tossing out reams of PS1 and PS2 ports on the thing, no matter how well they actually work on a handheld... and given Sony, I doubt if they'll bother to keep up that standard.
