Suikoden Coming to PS3/PSP?

VGG reports: "...So if a gamer missed out on Suikoden II for example during its original run at retail, he or she is now looking at spending over $100 USD for a complete copy on eBay. And that's all money that will go to another consumer, with Konami getting nary a dime of it.

Publishers may finally be realizing this however, as a listing for the original Suikoden for both PS3 and PSP has popped up on the ESRB's website recently. This is almost a sure sign that the RPG classic will be re-released on the PlayStation Store in the near future, most likely for a very reasonable price of $5.99 (although it is a Konami title, so it could see a premium price like Castlevania: Symphony of the Night's $9.99). Regardless of the price, it will be well below the game's $30+ asking price on eBay currently, and a positive sign that more "OMG ULTRA MEGA RAREZ!" titles could be coming in the future."

I prefer Tomba, Tomba II, Legend of Dragoon, and Rival Schools.

[DrakenSilverwing]

Aren't they goin to make a legend of dragoon 2..? if so i can't wait.. as well as another Suikoden.. this will be good tho.. it is deffinately hard to come by the original games in good condition as well..

[CrazzyMan]

But i wish they would make a sequel, i liked the first game. =)

[PoSTedUP]

TOMBA!! i was just playing that not to long ago, i still have the first toysRus demo thats came with my playstation 1 when it first came out. remember geX and blasto. ps1 had the most addicting games.

[ice_prophecy]

OMg I remember tomba! oh man.. brings back memories!

[crck]

[jadenkorri]

[crimsonfox]

[TheTimeDoctor]

i want to see the lunar series

[rakgi]

I always loved Suikoden I hope they do bring it to psn

[theKiller]

but i never played it, just gone through 20 mins in the beginning and thats it, never had the time for it, is it good by the way?? i love FF7,8,10 and never played other RPG's so whats ur opinion about this game? whats the pros and cons?

thanks in advance!

[Guwapo77]

Suikoden series is awesome with a great storyline, graphics never reached Final Fantasy series of their times. For that reason I believe Suikoden series never stoodout. Best believe it's strong enough to stand without all the glitter. I recommend taking some time to become more familiar with the series.

[crck]

Although the graphics aren't on the same level as the Final Fantasy series. The story and character development is on par or better then FF in my opinion. Give it a go and chances are it will hook you.

[theKiller]

thanks for the above,

bubbles for u two!

[rucky]

More Playstation RPGs! Give us Chrono Trigger, Azure's Dream, Legend of Legaia, Tales of Destiny, Grandia .....

[meepmoopmeep]

yes, yes, triple YES!

[Honolulu]

Cookie for you

[kewlkat007]

......Good news if true. Great music too...

[Honolulu]

Absolutely agree
Grandia too, awesome games. A little cheesy on the storyside but the battlesystem is beyond awesomeness.

[dexterwang]

I agree, the suikoden 1 and 2 are one of the most underated games

the stories are amazing and while its nothing revolutional, its very entertaining and massively epic

[Angelitos]

Whats so great about Suidoken?

[kewlkat007]

Well it's a breath of fresh air from the Final Fantasy Series...

[specialguest]

Let see, it had:

-evolved turn-base battles for it's time; up to 3 characters can attack at once after selecting their attack options. I think there was an auto battle option too.
-recruit up to 109 characters
-build your home base from ground up
-go to war in a strategy game style type of battle

[Guwapo77]

The recruitment part was the best part to me. So many people to choose from it was great. I might just have to dig up part one and play it all over again. I wish I had the entire series though...

Just bought FF1 through FF7 here in Thailand on one DVD. Gotta love gotta love it. I can only hope that PSN brings the entire series, but that may just be wishful thinking.

[Mr_Kuwabara]

I'd like to see Musashi on the PS store on some point. I lost my original copy!

[callahan09]

I love Suikoden, but I still have the PSone disc. I'm hoping for Suikoden 2!

Ikaruga, Rez, Sin & Punishment, Alien Soldier, these are all rather rare games that I own originals of and now they've been released either on XBLA or the Wii VC. When are the rare games that I do NOT own going to get a release on these download services? I want to play SUIKODEN 2!

[Ashta]

Suikoden for my PSP? Doth mine eyes well with tears of absolute euphoria?

Yes, yes I believe they do.

[Millah]

Well this kind of sucks for me, because I am somewhat a collector and have all these rare games bought originally when they were released, but now all these publishers are re-releasing all my rare games and they are now becoming worthless. Oh well.

[Guwapo77]

Not as worthless as you might think. A true collector is going to want the original packaging as well. I'm one of those type of people. While I wouldn't mind the PSN version, I would love the original.

[aftrdark21]

I played through it at least 3 times. Loved the sequel as well. Hope it comes out.

[et617]

I want Shin Megami games on PSN, Persona 3 FES got me hooked and past Shin Megmi Tensei games are up there for like $100.

[animboo]

They should bring more of the good stuff from ps1. more please..

[Surfman]

Give us Chrono Trigger, FF6 and FF7. Ahh and why not FF9, it was great. Oh and the Tales of ? C'mon it would be a hit.

[AngryXbot]

I borrowed it from friend and finished it long ago, I now have it on ROM and have fond memories over it. I will definitely purchase a more stable version if this would hit PSN store.

The story of this game is the rock.

I think what I have said long time ago about BC being irrelevant is becoming a reality. See, PS brands have always be known about BC. But the truth is, BC is a goldmine.

Sony started realizing this when the virtual console proved such a hit. Being were PAYING for old shiatty games but somehow demanding Sony to give old games to them for free.

Sony simply had to look at the competitors:
Wii
Virtual console,
half BC

360
half BC

So clearly no one was complaining on the other side. BC is no longer an issue because all PSX and PS2 classic can be downloaded when they put it on PSN store.

[SaiyanFury]

While I wouldn't buy and download Suikoden, it is a fantastic game. Why wouldn't I pay for it? The answer is I already have every Suikoden released, including the PSOne games. I have Suikodens 1 and 2 and can easily play them on my PS. But for people who have never played them, but are fans of the series, I highly recommend them. One of my luckiest scores was getting the original Suikoden at Zellers in Winnipeg, Canada new for 15 bucks a few years after it was released and discontinued. Truly lucky indeed.

[Lord_Ash]

I’ve been crying for this for years, I mean Japan got them years ago on UMD and we are still waiting, so either you release it on the PSN or on UMD either way I’m fine I just want to play it ASAP.

[Luca Blight]

One of the best PS RPGs ever and arguably the best of the series (along with 2) for people that actually played each Suikoden WHEN THEY LAUNCHED .
