Well I made a post the other day regarding this with links and everything, but for some reason it never showed up.
Anyway if you go to esrb.org there are some new ratings up for some upcoming minis including:
Circles, Circles, Circles
Stand O' Food
Fortix
Downtown Texas Hold'em
Shepherd's Crossing
D-Cube Planet
Spot the Differences!
Bloons
Yummy Yummy Cooking Jam
Hopefully these will be showing up on the US PS Store in the next week or two
Very helpful. Thanks David! This source has been added to my radar so will be checking it regularly.
You're welcome Chris! Do the European and Australian rating boards have similar sites as well?
They do, but unfortunately the search and sort features of both are so limiting that I can't use them in the same way I can use the ESRB website.
Hey Chris, I'm not sure if you had a chance to see it yet, but it looks like EA is bringing Bowling to the minis as well.
Yes noticed that one. Looks like EA are getting very busy.
EA seems to be doing well so far with their minis. Tetris has been one of the Top 10 titles on the US Playstation store ever since it launched. This is quite an accomplishment since it is, by far the most expensive mini released so far.

Hate to spoil David's fun, but the ESRB just listed "Dracula - Undead Awakening" from Chillingo which appears to a port of "iDracula - Undead Awakening".
Doesn't seem terribly complex, but will be a change of pace from puzzle games. It's a shooter where you kill waves of monsters

Will be buying it if only to send a message that the PSP is a good platform for some of their other games (which are pretty impressive, though possibly beyond mini limits in terms of file size)
That's it Jeremy, you've officially become my nemesis!
On a serious note, I totally agree with you about supporting Chillingo. Also, we could use more Smash TV type games on minis. I never really thought the PSP could pull off a dual stick shooter, but I'm now totally addicted to Super Stardust Portable so I'm hopeful that Chillingo can execute this well and it doesn't end up as another Hero of Sparta.
Well it looks like the ESRB has rated a few more (possible) minis. They include:
Beta Bloc:

Super Pocket Tennis:

No confirmation that these are indeed minis, but they sure sound like some.
**** yeah. If Chillingo start bringing over a lot of titles that would be awesome.
Dracula - Undead Awakening is a good start. It was a decent game on the iphone at the time of it's release.
This could be the start of something beautiful.
Hmmm, looks like you are right about Beta Bloc and Super Pocket Tennis Jeremy.

ESRB just rated "KarmaStar" from Majesco. Presumably a port of their iPhone game of the same name, and thus probably a mini (though the wi-fi features might disqualify it, if they are kept)

Looks really cool. I really hope it is a mini, but there guys have published full UMD PSP games before so they might not got that route. Fingers crossed.
