List of Japanese PS1 PSN Titles Coming Thurs

[qzak]

Of course, they somehow turn it into a way of complaining, but whatever...


April 25, 2007 - The new version 1.7 firmware update for the PS3 promised one long-awaited update for the system: the ability to play PlayStation games that you've downloaded from the PlayStation Store's Game Archives section. Unfortunately, there appear to be some lingering issues with PS3 compatibility, as many upcoming Game Archives games are still PSP-only.

Sony Japan at last announced what games PS3 owners will be able to play when PS3-compatible downloads begin on 4/26. The PS3 will have just 11 titles available for play on day one. The list includes:

Spectral Force (Idea Factory)
R-Types (Irem)
A.IV. Evolution Global (Artdink)
Resident Evil Directors Edition (Capcom)
Bishibashi Special (Konami)
Arc the Land (Sony)
Ore no Shi wo Koete Yuke (Sony)
Gunners Heaven (Sony)
Ganbare Morikawa-kun Ni-go (Sony)
Marl Oukoku no Ningyou Hime (Nippon Ichi)
Tekken 2 (Bandai Namco)

The PSP will be able to play all these games as well. In fact, this list of PS3-compatible games is just a subset of the current Game Archives lineup that's already available for PSP owners. To that growing lineup, Sony will be adding 14 new PSP-only titles, also on 4/26. Here's the full list.
Ikasama Mahjong (Idea Factory)

CG Mukashi Banashi Jiisan Ni-do Bikkuri (Idea Factory)
Yaku Tsu Noroi no Game (Idea Factory)
Lunatic Dawn III (Artdink)
A5: Take the A-Train 5 (Artdink)
Metal Slug X (SNK Playmore)
Real Bout Garou Densetsu (aka Real Bout Fatal Fury, SNK Playmore)
Kenkaku Ibunroku Yomigaerishi Soukou no Yaiba Samurai Spirits Shinshou (aka Samurai Showdown Warriors Rage, SNK Playmore)
Bakumatsu Roman: Gekka no Kenshi (aka The Last Blade, SNK Playmore)
Garou Densetsu Wild Ambition (aka Fatal Fury Wild Ambition, SNK Playmore)
Fushigi Keiji (Capcom)
Philsoma (Sony)
Jigsaw World (Nippon Ichi)
Wai Wai Tennis Plus (Hamster)
PSP owners can at last celebrate the arrival of SNK Playmore product in the Game Archives. Also notable is the sudden jump in game releases for this update. Previous updates included just a handful of titles.

As for the few games that are playable on both platforms, there's a bit of good news as well. As previously announced by Sony, you'll be able to exchange save data between your PSP and PS3. By transferring your data from the PS3 the PSP, you can continue your PlayStation games on the go. The data can then be transferred back when you want to continue on the big screen.

Sony also revealed today that the Game Archive downloads will be compatible with your old PlayStation save data. If you happen to have save data sitting around on a Memory Card somewhere, you can use a Memory Card Adapter to transfer the data to the PS3. This data can also be copied over to the PSP.

The PS3's slow pace in catching up with PlayStation compatibility is a bit mysterious, but the growing lineup of games in the Japanese Game Archives section, as well as the ability to share data in the home and on the go, has us excited. Stay tuned for further details on Sony's plans for the Game Archives in your part of the world.

Oh, really? Oops. :look:


Saw it said Sony Japan but the article didn't say it was only for the Japan store. If a mod can change the title that'd be cool.


Well, at least US gets rubadub and CaC tomorrow, theoretically.

[Applefiend]

End of May for Calling all Cars I think.

Some nice previews up on Gamespot. It's looking pretty sweet, like football only with crims. :)

I agree, I think the PS Stores sales would sky rocket as soon as they release them. I hope we don't have to wait til E3 before we hear anything about it.

Why, yes. But not in $. :troutslap

April 25, 2007 - Classic PlayStation gaming through the PSP and PS3 just got a bit more expensive over in Japan. Along with the ability to at long last play Game Archive titles on the PS3 comes a higher download price for all Game Archive games old and new.

Since Sony started its PlayStation download program late last year, downloads through the service have costed 525 yen per game, regardless of the title (that's a 500 yen base price plus 5% tax). That price has gone up just a bit. As of 4/26, all Game Archive titles, old and new, cost a tax-inclusive 600 yen.

Sony's did not provide a reason for the price change. In fact, the company didn't even mention the price change in the press materials that were distributed to announce the start of PS3 compatibility for the service. The new prices have replaced the old ones at the official Game Archives website, however.

This news of price hikes and new downloads concerns only the Japanese market. We'll let you know what's going down outside of Japan once Sony starts talking.

[OmniCloud]

I like it though...I like it a lot....Metal slug would be a buy for me I hope it comes to PS3 soon, I can't wait till they show us some retro RPG love though!!!

PSN is indeed gonna be awesome this Fall...Good stuff

[gozirah]

I wonder what the technical hold up is. For psp compatibility, I can imagine there would be a lot of things to tweak. But for the PS3--I guess it can't be as easy as making an image of the PS1 disc that the PS3 can read.

[Nameless]

The Ninja Gaiden JP site states the 27th so that should be tomorrow evening in the states if you have a JP PSN account. Does anyone know if the demo is supposed to be released on the US PSN tomorrow?

[OmniCloud]

Guess we'll have to wait till 2morrow man..

[Applefiend]

There's been an update to the jpn store with a couple of GT movies and something for those sodding cats again btw.

Man Sony is only supporting Japanese PS1 downloading, wheres the support everywhere else. They get Silent bomber, I want Silent bomber(does anyone know if the Japanese version supports english subtitles) and Vagrant stories.

[OmniCloud]

Sry man...I was bummed CAC got pushed back to next Thursday too. But it looks like we're gonna have to wait another week US/EU to get our retro gaming going on PS3...

Shouldn't be long now before we can download MGS1 right to your Hdd...It's coming....

[Z]

I would love to see Silent Hill in there someday. and Kurushi Final should have been default (that IQ for the rest of you).

[LiquidEagle]

meh, I did enough digging through local Gamestops & EBs over the past few years that I own pretty much every PSOne game I want to own... except Symphony of the Night, and I'll have that on my PSP by the end of this year! :-D

I mean it's cool that they're putting these older games up there, but this shouldn't be a major deciding factor that makes or breaks what PSN has to offer IMO. I like its focus on newer games :-D

[Applefiend]

It's the price dude...
