Notice: This is not the weekly Japanese thread, do not post unrelated news in here please.

Square Enix has announced in this month's Dengeki Playstation due out on Friday that they are committing to releasing their classics on PSN. Starting TODAY (25th June), they will release Xenogears and Einhander on PSN, for 600yen each. There are 12 key titles that they plan on releasing on Game Archives, starting with Xenogears. There isn't a clean full scan of the interview yet, so this is all I know right now to be 100% accurate. Discuss. :D

Edit: The following titles are coming out TODAY, at 600yen each. They're all under the S-E label.

Xenogears (Square)
Einhander (Square)
Astronoka (Enix)
Rakugaki Showtime (Enix)
Raystorm (Taito)
Fighters Impact (Taito)

Vagrant Story. NOW.

[Livin_Lovin]

Fuckin' BOMBSHELL.

[Awntawn]

oooooooooomgggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg

that includes psp support too, right?

[RevenantKioku]

Are these going to be PSP doable as well? (Are all? I haven't really ever booted PSN up for many good reasons.)

Also, I need to figure out the damn conbini PSN point thing.

[Mrbob]

Holy shit if SCEA does not bring these titles to the USA in a reasonable fashion we need to go after them.

Megaton.

[robot]

Einhander would be fun to play again.

[Desi]

Interesting. Einhander was a great choice.

[Red Blaster]

I don't know whether to laugh or cry when I think of the chances these will appear on the American store.

[Case]

didnt see this coming/

[RevenantKioku]

Why are people acting like this is something amazing? It's nice and all, but not orgasm worthy.

[Kagari]

didnt see this coming/

It was rumored a while back.

[rollingstart]

Please don't be only for Japan. I want these games too, Square.

Hell, I would even buy the Chrono Trigger and FF6 PS1 ports!

[Ydahs]

Holy shit! Just when I was planning to start Xenogears. Hope it's out on AU PS3 by the time I buy one.

Next, SE games on VC and Wiiware. Bring on Chrono Trigger!

[Mrbob]

I don't know whether to laugh or cry when I think of the chances these will appear on the American store.

We'll probably never see them.

It pisses me off that SCEA is ignoring their past.

PS1 classics on PSN could be a gold mine like classic titles are on the Wii.

[DMPrince]

When they say US PSN STore then i'll join in on the fun too ;3

[DMczaf]

I hate this thread

I hate Japan

I HATE YOU!!

GIVE ME PS1 GAMES!

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Hmmm this is good news........ i guess, as long as they bring them to the US and Euro.

[Pein]

I really want scea to release them here

[fernoca]

:O!
Both games for under $20!!

The thing is...when (if) we'll see them outside Japan..
Seeing how SCEA has nearly abandoned PSOne Classics..

[Guybrush Threepwood]

Why are people acting like this is something amazing? It's nice and all, but not orgasm worthy.

Squeenix has snubbed the digital download market up to this point. Just look at the VC.

That's why this is a megaton.

[DCharlie]

that's more like it!

I have the games already but yeah, i'll probably reget Einhander so it's on the drive and handily playable. I wish we could install our PS1 games to the HDD (IRONY BUSTER MAX !)

[Awntawn]

Why are people acting like this is something amazing? It's nice and all, but not orgasm worthy.

Personal interest for me. There are a lot of classic games I've missed like Xenogears, and around $6 a pop is a great place to start ;D

I'm gonna need some of them JP PSN cards, STAT 3;

[CowboyAstronaut]

Holy crap. If true I'm going to be all over those.

[Dragon]

Personal interest for me. There are a lot of classic games I've missed like Xenogears, and around $6 a pop is a great place to start ;D

You just know they're going to be overpriced somehow.

If these come to the states, time to get a bigger HDD.

[btkadams]

AHHHHH!!!!! definitely down for this. ill dl ff7,8,9 and maybe a few others if they make it.

[KZObsessed]

WOW lucky lucky Japan.

*prays for Square to do the same in the West*

[RevenantKioku]

Personal interest for me. There are a lot of classic games I've missed like Xenogears, and around $6 a pop is a great place to start ;D I'm gonna need some of them JP PSN cards, STAT 3;

It's just no surprise. I mean, it's cool we got decent stuff instead of dogshit like Ehrgheiz or Vagrant Story, but the way people are acting here you'd think FF7 got remade.

EINHANDER?!?!?!?!

Holy shit... must get. Quick, what's the best way to get JP PSN points ASAP?

[Llyranor]

Great for Sony. It'd be nice if they did a similar commitment for the Virtual Console as well.

[Illuminati]

Bouncer or no sale!!!

[karasu]

America exists too Square!

[Riskbreaker23]

if SCEA doesnt bring these SE titles to the US PSN, i will hate them forever (or at least until FFXIII comes out)

any chance the HK store will have the english versions?

[Red Blaster]

Squeenix has snubbed the digital download market up to this point. Just look at the VC. That's why this is a megaton.

Seems to me like an indication they're not interested in porting/remaking their PS1 titles.

[Elbrain]

I want some of these fucking game for the US! Dammit my copies of Front Mission 3 and Xenogears are shit now! COME ON SQUARE!

[mattiewheels]

You just know they're going to be overpriced somehow. If these come to the states, time to get a bigger HDD.

don't worry, they won't.

[/pessimism]

[Mejilan]

About fucking time. For some parties, being late is NOT fashionable.

[biggkidd32]

Great news. Squeenix VC support plz. I need perfect versions of Secret of Mana and Final Fantasy 6.

Looking forward for Brave Fencer and the Bushido Blade games.

[Jonnyram]

Personal interest for me. There are a lot of classic games I've missed like Xenogears, and around $6 a pop is a great place to start ;D

You missed Xenogears? o_O
No excuse for that!

[Dark FaZe]

Fucking awesome.

And Xenogears is a great game to put up there. Its fairly hard to find around here.

[Cruzader]

Oh shit this is Sick!!

Also yes PSN PS1 games means they are both PS3/PSP compatible. Now SCEA better say something about this soon(maybe E3), SE PS1 games are great and should be made avialble on the US PStore.

[Awntawn]

You missed Xenogears? o_O No excuse for that!

Time for redemption D;

[Danne-Danger]

I hate this thread I hate Japan I hate SCEA/SCEE I HATE YOU!! GIVE ME PS1 GAMES!

.

[TONX]

CHRONO TRIGGER on PSN would make me throw money at SE.

[ianp622]

It seems like every chance Square Enix gets to make loads of money, they miss it. I'm hoping they don't do it again by not doing this for the US.

[RobertM]

Out of all the companies that release PSN games, I would never have guessed Square would be one of them considering their remake bonanza.
