Capcom preparing to release between 20 and 40 PS1 and PSP titles via PSN

Capcom is going to make its PlayStation Network presence a lot more robust as it begins releasing ports of PS1 titles and providing downloadable versions of previous PSP titles throughout the year. We spoke with Capcom's Chris Kramer, who let us know that the company would be listening to what the community wants and figuring out internally what titles to release -- but don't expect any of them to involve licensing shenanigans along the lines of Marvel vs. Capcom.

Good to know. =)

I'll believe it when I see it.

[Cwalat]

Fu**ing AGREED!

I've been hearing about this "PS1 games on the way to PSN" for MONTHS now... WHEN THE FU**K ARE THEY SUPPOSED TO SHOW UP EXCACTLY ?!

Where's RE1, RE2, RE3 ?!?!?!

(EU PSN)

Christian Svensson already confirmed that the first wave of PSOne games is coming to PSN's North American store in late May.

I'll TRY to find the Capcom Unity post, but searching that site is like trying to find a needle in a haystack when dealing with posts that are older than a few days.

EDIT: Here's the link. http://www.capcom-unity.com...

EDIT2: FYI, Sven is part of the PR team at Capcom of America. The info he got is real until he tells us otherwise.

I wish they would bring this to the ps3. I doubt it though.

is that keely hazel?

i love her homevideos ;)

[ThanatosDMC]

Megaman Legends and Megaman Legends 2 please!!!

[Immortal Kaim]

Awesome. I expect a big E3 announcement to be the release of many more PS1 games on the PSN. Do PS1 games get trophy support?

I hope they announce PS2 support for the PS3 as well though. :)

[PELVIC THRUST ACTION]

Good for them. Releasing PSone classics on PSN is basically printing money since the bandwidth for them is almost negligible and the games are already done. Plus being on both PSP and PS3 gives it a greater chance of being bought.

[Da One]

Megaman Legends 1 and 2
Breath of Fire 3 and 4
Resident Evil 1-3

well there we go

[eagle21]

PS3: The Tsunami For Games. :)

[pwnsause]

well PSP games being re-released on the PSN is a given just because of the imminent unveiling of the PSP "GO" or whatever you call it. I dont really have a problem with capcom on that front, but what I do have a problem with are old school arcade games that haven't been really been embraced rate on the PSN from all 3rd party companies, not to mention the re-release of PS1 games themselves from 3rd party companies other than capcom.

seriously, do they want my money or not? if they are afraid about the stupid PSN bandwidth fees, then they're f**king stupid, because they can make more than enough profit just by releasing these games on the PSN. do you realize how many people would buy a copy of a good old school game? im mean seriously, if I were the 3rd party i would be banking right now on all 3 Platforms (PSN/XBLA/WiiWare)

[Ps_alm3k]

re-release your ps1 games on psn!!!
That is a truck load of money!!!!

[I_LOVE_MYSELF]

Dino Crisis please

FINGERS CROSSED!

[swiftshot93]

Cant wait for deadrising 2!!!

[Kamikaze135]

And still nothing =/

[Guitardr85]

Just open up the Japanese PSN to NA and EU for PS1 classics. Since they already have pretty much all PS1 games available...wishful thinking I know...don't judge...

[LeGenDx]

HELL YEAH

[Knightofelemia]

Bring on Breath of Fire and Dino Crisis

[pixelsword]

If you have the 60Gb or other backwards compatible PS3's, you can pretty much get them for pennies on the dollar; including Marvel vs. Capcom.

Besides; I'm pretty much done with Capcom until they start treating gamers right. Re-releasing old junk I probably played already isn't doing it for me.

[Menchi]

Well, every single PS3 is able to play PS1 discs, but most people seem to forget that.

However, it is nice to have them able to be switched between PS3/PSP at will

[-MD-]

Resident Evil 1,2,3
Mega Man Legends 1,2
Dino Crisis 1,2

Thx

[Gen0ne]

... and my brain translated it into Square/Enix. And I was really excited to make voice heard for Einhander. Only to find out the hard way, through reading all the posts with Capom titles, that my plea would fall on deaf ears. Oh well. EINHANDER! There, I'm sayin' it anyway.

[Microsoft Xbox 360]

Rival Schools please.

[GameGambits]

Breath of Fire 4. That's the only legit Capcom game back on PS1 I'd buy off of PSN. Don't get me wrong I played plenty of their titles, but if I had to pick one it'd be that.

I'm still hoping they reboot that RPG series with a PS3 exclusive version announced at E3. When it comes to Capcom it's generally a 8/10 game and deserves a rental not a full purchase.

The only game I can think of by Capcom I really feel is worth full price will be the new Lost Planet 2. I loved Lost Planet 1 and #2 already looks to really improve on awesome game. The SP was meh, but the online was just hella fun and sleek. :)

[RufustheSage]

Capcom is really putting in work this year! Can't wait till E3 to see what else they have up there sleeve.
