Japanese PSN receives a treasure trove of PS1 games

by Jem Alexander { Jun 28th 2007 at 7:00PM }

The Japanese PSN has had a veritable explosion of PS1 titles added to its collection. This puts the total number available on the Japanese Store up to twelve million or so now, we think. Hopefully we'll be seeing some more being released onto the US and EU stores in the near future. The full list of titles made available today are as follows.

AI Mah Jong Selection (hamster)
DEPTH (Sony computer Entertainment)
Gussun Paradise (IREM software)
Jet Moto (Sony computer Entertainment)
Jumping Flash! 2 (Sony computer Entertainment)
Major Wave Series: Puzzle Mania 2 (hamsters)
Major Wave Series: Zipangu Jima: Unmei wa Saikoro ga Kimeru!? (Hamsters)
Metal Slug (SNK Playmore)
Oasis Road (Idea Factory)
Panekit (Sony computer Entertainment)
Samurai Spirits III: Zankuro Musouken (SNK Playmore)
Samurai Spirits IV: Amakusa Kourin Special (SNK Playmore)
Spectral Tower 2 (Idea Factory)
SuperLite 1500 Series Cotton original (Success)
SuperLite 1500 Series Sanvein (Success)
The King OF Fighters '98 (SNK Playmore)
The King OF Fighters '99 (SNK Playmore)
The King OF Fighters Kyo (SNK Playmore)
XI [sai] (Sony computer Entertainment)

There are a total of two games in that list that, if made available, we would download. Perhaps it's best to stick with the quality-over-quantity philosophy that SCEA and SCEE have for the PS1 releases. Though having said that, perhaps there's a happy medium between the two that means we can actually get some new games at some point.

I Suspect Sony don't want to offer games people will want to play for hours on end, i.e. RPG's etc. Which do you think they'd prefer you to do, spend 3GBP, 6USD on FFVII or 35GBP, 70USD on a PS3 game. It sort of makes sense really but Id love to see games like FF, Suikoden, VANDAL Hearts, Kula World etc appear, if only because I know longer own the originals ( Basically, I sold them to raise the cash for my PS3! )

@3 It's easy enough to get yourself onto the japaneese PSN and download Devil Dice for free.
