Here's a very positive piece of news from Sony Computer Entertainment's Gamers Day: Sony revealed how PS1 games would end up on PSP's memory stick.
The PSP will get its games from the PS3. Instead of building a network specifically for the PSP, or trying to connect the PSP to Sony's Connect service, gamers can log into the PlayStation Store using their PS3, find your favorite PS1 games there, buy and download them, and then enjoy it on your PSP.
IGN speculates that that the PlayStation Store will also be integrated into the PSP in a future PSP firmware update. For now though, the console is integral for digital distribution. A number of PS1 gamers are already listed on the PlayStation Store.
Salman from Tech4Gamers writes "Mortal Kombat 9 revived the series from a low point after bringing it back to 2D combat. It marked a new high-point for the franchise due to its incredible roster, exciting cinematic story mode, and high-octane combat."
Shaolin Monks is a forgotten gem. I would love to see a new one, or a remake of the old.
That game was actually goated. It was the first time ever that I actually tried to get good at a fighting game. Unfortunately the online connection was so dogshit it made it hard to enjoy and eventually I gave up. Haven't really played much fighting games since.
Taking a trip back to Housemarque's forgotten platformer.
The Simpsons: Hit and Run, The Legend of Dragoon, and Chrono Trigger would benefit substantially from a modern remake.
The Xenosaga trilogy, the Wild Arms games, Xenogears, Parasite Eve, Dino Crisis, Suikoden. The Warriors game I know nothing about but it looks interesting. Anybody can do a list of games they want to see get modernized I would lose my shit if Namco brought the Xenosaga trilogy to modern consoles.
I initially thought psone-to-psp funtionality would be a little more complex than this, but this is definetly great news; this great new ps3 feature will most likely cause a spike in psp hardware sales.
Just the thought of playing Final Fantasy 9 and Super Puzzle Fighter on the go gives me the urge to start my own psp fund.
Gamestop probably won't be happy about this, since people won't have to purchase used psone games from them and pay their ridiculous prices; Super Puzzle Fighter was $40 last time I checked. Luckily I bought it a few years ago when it wasn't considered a rarity.
Just another way to force someone to buy a ps3. Why couldn't they just allow it to be online instead of an exclusive to ps3 owners only. For sure I'll be getting a ps3, just not for a while as it took at least a half year to get ahold of a 360 for normal price without bundles. I was looking forward to this too, but I guess that's sony for ya. Forever it will take to play a portable final fantasy, grrrr!!!
