PSN lauching 'import store' Cho Aniki and GaiaSeed at launch

[afoia]

not sure if this has been covered yet, but Sony are launching an import store on the english PSN stores where you will be able to purchase japanese PSX games. The thing is Gaia Seed seems like an interesting, yet less conventional choice for the launch but why is Cho Aniki is set for release? Just seems like a to niche title for PSN users...

My only guess is it's because Cho Aniki Zero is already on the US PSN. Customer's may be a little more familiar with the title.

Einhander for PSN please.

Einhänder should've been released to the US and EU PSN stores YEARS ago. For that to be omitted from other regions for this long is ridiculous.

But this is a start, I suppose. I'll take:
Nectaris
Silent Bomber
Silhouette Mirage
G Darius
RayStorm
RayCrisis

hip hip horray

This is an outstanding idea by Sony. Hopefully they release enough that I won't have to buy Japanese points anymore. They need to get the Duo games over asap.

It would be really nice if we get DonPachi and DoDonPachi in the future.

Thats what i'm hoping for

Hopefully we get some PC engine games too, but I doubt it.

The mythical PSone shmup emerges. Prepare to immerse yourself in piss-easy, Halo-shield glory. Can't wait to see Gaia Seed revealed to the masses to be the boring trod it really is.

[Super Laydock]

no thanks.

I am through with this emulation copies u have 2 pay for, while not getting anything physical..

[MachineAres 1CC]

This. When they don't even do anything new with the games and they're still going to run with the same awful specs and everything, no thanks.

[mesh control]

yay, input lag.

Hopefully, this ends up working out. I'm tired of paying overinflated costs for Yen cards to idiots on ebay. I think I saw someone a couple weeks ago selling a 10000 Yen card for around $145. That's a retarded profit for the seller and unfair.

I'm not sure how this ties up with Sony's supposed 'no untranslated foreign text/dialogue' stance...

Hopefully it means the times, they are a changin'.

Whoa, where are they? I have an extra 300 Yen on my account lying around. I must go look!

[Jeneki]

I already learned my lesson with PS1 games on the PSN store.

Unless they update something to eliminate the input lag when playing PS1 games, I'll pass.

I didn't notice anything from the PSX Game Archives section on sale but I did see some games that were grouped with Space Invaders and it's DLC but it was all regular price. However, I did notice that Devil Dice was completely free, so I downloaded that (atleast I assume it's the full game)! Still, I want to buy Zanac X Zanac, as it's tempting me!

Damn, ok, sorry to keep your hopes up.
I saw at least Ray Storm PSX discounted and the Ray Storm HD remake discounted. Or maybe it was not discounted at all, but it looked like it. nowadays it is hard to tell what´s going on on psn JP. confused.

I hope this isn't limited to shmups...I want the original Guilty Gear, goshdarnit...

*ontopic* Maybe Omega Boost will show up.
