thanks guys, and just out of shock the other konami collections are out already or is this a sort of ball park release listing?

I'm not sure I take your meaning.

Anything that's not listed under Upcoming is out, with possible exception of the 2007 Taito releases and the Konami Arcade Collection. This list is based on a list I made in December when these were still Upcoming. The others in 2007 I have checked over more recently.

i'm just a dummy, i didn't think to search in play-asia.

i was just wondering, basically, if the list was one you had made, or if it was a list you copied from some other source (thus increasing the chances of the info being outdated).

... goddamn i have to fix my psp...

p.s. what's witht the cleaned up graphics on parodius MSX? is the screen refresh the same as the original (tile by tile)?

Ah, no worries.

I can't answer your new question as I don't have the Parodius, Salamander, or Twinbee PSP compilations personally. You may want to peruse the discussion thread or otherwise cross-post your question there.

are you kidding me!

that is simultaneously the most amazing and disappointing thing i've seen in a long time... i want real ketsui.

i'm not sure i want to know if it is going to be a real product or not. i'd buy it in a second if it is, but GOD--DAMN...
