Capcom's PSN PSone games head west News
PlayStation 3 PSP News by Tom Bramwell
Capcom's forum-loving biz-dev man Christian Svensson has said that PSN versions of some of the company's PSone games are due on the US PlayStation Store soon.
Responding to a typically mild-mannered stream of forum invective about the presence of games like Resident Evils 1-3 on Japanese PSN, Svensson said: "The first PS1 titles for PSN were submitted [for US certification] last week... When I have some dates for them, we'll let you know what and when is going to happen."
Then he added: "Word I got back this morning is that this may take a bit more time than anticipated. We'll keep folks posted. And for now I'm still not discussing what title(s) they are. We'll discuss it when we're through the pipe a bit further."
Siliconera (thanks vg247) has done some speculating, however, listing Capcom games already rated by the US ratings board, including a host of Mega Mans, Resis, Street Fighters and some other possibles, including Breath of Fires III and IV and the Dino Crisis duo. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure might be fun too.

Excellent news, Capcom put out some great popular and niche PS1 titles so hope there's a good mix being planned, now we just need the likes of Namco and Square Enix to get themselves sorted as well.

Forget them if you want Duckula but having past games legally available for open minded newer gamers is a good thing, that and my version of RE3 went kaput, could do with playing it again. Besides I think this kind of game will work well on the PSP, would be cool to see a new title with pre rendered backdrops and tense exploration made if these prove popular.

There's still lots of games on US PSN that haven't reached Europe. So don't hold your breath.

@ Duckula
I'd buy RE1 or RE2 over RE5 anyday. Classics like FFVII, the RE series and Breath of Fire III would be excellent but I'm not holding my breath for the latter being released in the EU anytime soon... or the former for that matter.

Resident Evil Remake which I can play on the Wii is superior to the original with better graphics and dialogue among other things, including various tweaks, so I personally won't be bothering with the original PS game myself. It looks hopelessly dated these days even if it is a classic. For some people that might be part of its charm but after the GameCube remake I find it hard to go back to.
I really wish Capcom would do updates for Resident Evil 2 and 3 for the Wii too, particularly as Nemesis is the only game in the series I've never played apart from the first hour or so when I borrowed the game off a friend. Not too sure I want to play through an ugly-looking low-res PS version now really. |

And what you're saying would exactly have WHAT in common with PSone games on the PSN Store? |

Ahh for crying out loud....I'm sick of those stupid "I'm not buying a ps3 because I want b/c", bull. GET OVER IT!!! I have a 60gb launch model and I only used it in the first month or so to play GoW2....scince then NEVER. Why would you buy a new machine to play old games? If your that desperate to play yesterday's wii, buy or keep your ps2 slim, it's not like they occupy space!
