Already yesterday was known the NGP / PSVita can also play PSP games from the PSN Store. Now reported that the PSP games are shown on the screen of the new handheld in higher resolution.

PSP games downloaded on the NGP will be able to benefit from the improved hardware. The graphics of those games can be upscaled (the NGP's resolution is almost double that of the PSP) to make them seem smoother and hopefully much better. This will support full backwards compatibility with the PSP's enormous library of games.

For example, Resistance Retribution has been shown working on the NGP. Now the original graphic by its higher resolution raised the value. PSP games downloaded for the NGP will also be able to utilize some of the new features it offers, second analog stick can be used to rotate the camera, greatly improving gameplay.
