oh man, friend picked this up to okay on the Vita, controls worked really well! It brought back memories...
My favorite series is XI/Devil Dice/Bombastic. So much fun, especially multiplayer! Jumbo rules are the best.

I was surprised to see it do better after how bad that Operation Troy went. Since the game is based off of that same engine right?
Oh yeah on a separate note Ive always been tempted to check out the PC version of Gundam Online just due to the scale of it.

And then the LORD David Bowie saith to his Son, Jonny Depp: 'Go, and spread my image amongst the cosmos. For every living thing is in anguish and only the LIGHT shall give them reprieve.'
Suikoden I+II PSP never getting an english release still makes me mad. It's like the definitive, wide screen version of both games. Now Konami's kind of in the gutter, so that was the last shot at a release here...

Am not sure if this is on the US store since I rarely look there, but Warship Gunner 2 is in the JP PSN PSP section.
Pretty enjoyable game if you like arcade type of naval combat with full customization of your ship & weapon layout.
Mine is actually downloading as I type this out.

Have it on my Vita as well, but to be honest I'm afraid to ever try it on there since it might strain the sticks a bit.
Still, Ore no Ryouri on the go is something I never would have imagined possible when I originally picked it up.
Really wish we'd get more games like that from Japan. They don't need to be big budget, just addictive as hell, tons of fun to play, and of at all possible, batshit insane.
Really can't find any fault at all with this game.
Something equally as nutty and a concept that has no business working as good as it actually does, take a look at Power Shovel. It's not as immediate as Ore no Ryouri, and the controls take a while to get good at, but it's lots of fun as well.
Really wish this was on PSN.

Sadly no. I really wish the PS2 version was up at least.
Have the import DVD, but still would buy it digitally.
Great choices so far.
One that's certainly missing from this thread it Ore no Ryouri.
I remember that game. When I first played it was all like "lol this is like Japanese Tapper" for those who remember that game which it was simply serving beer or the "censored" version as root beer to customers in the bar. Man that shit got hard though.
Its always fun browsing through the PSN store to see what good memories or bad ones I can find. Though I wish they really did a little better job of organizing things. Its weird how the classics are actually organized by genre but all the rest of the stuff is only alphabetical. Sony needs to get on that ASAP for the rest of the store.

From the PSP section most def The Last Ranker is pretty awesome by Capcom.
Once you get used to the battle system, the story is decent and the combat is interesting at least I think so lol

Yes.
Pardon the bump (As I cannot create new topics anymore), but I'd like to know what's the best of this service. Open to anything, using a PSTV (So keep that in mind that PS4 and Non-PSTV games are no good.) Have ways to purchase said games, so don't worry about costs. I can fumble around with Japanese using guides/Walkthroughs, so that's not a problem either.

What do you mean by best? Would be far better off if you let people know what kind of titles you are interested in for faster more focused replies?
Just the tops and underrated classics in each genre. Mostly looking for PS1/2 classics. If I had to list specified genres, action/platformer/rpg?

I believe Silhouette Mirage is on JP PSN, the JP Crash Bandicoot games have additional voice and cutscenes in them as well if you want to check those out.
If you like 2D action games Gunners' Heaven is like Metal Slug/Gunstar Heroes and has a neat soundtrack.
That's it off the top of my head for now ^^;

*List is in no particular order
Gunstar Heroes
Dynamite Deka
Dark Cloud
2 fantastic pinball games
Devil Crush
Alien Crush
---
Dragon Valor
Summon Night
Summon Night 2
Panzer Bandit
Dew Prisim

Not sure if you will like these, but 2 from software classics for their first person rpgs.
Kings Field III
Shadow Tower *This is not Abyss, that came out on the PS2 and no digital version was made unfortunately.
-------
Rising Zan *Bit janky with controls but hilarious thirdperson cowboy samurai action.
Warriors of Fate
Need to get back to work, so hopefully you will find something useful in that list, granted there is a ton of more stuff on JPSN for the PS1 classics. The PS2 library is a bit sparse and even the US side has stuff that was not released in Japan such as SMT3, Digital Devil Saga 1 & 2, Raido 1 & 2 are some of the big ones.
