Joystick apparently had a recent interview with Capcom's Chris Kramer about their plans for releasing games via PSN. This is what he had to say.
Edit:
Fuzzy dug up a list of PS1 and PSP games that Capcom has made in case anyone is curious about what they could release. Thanks Fuzzy!
Hopefully this actually comes to pass and doesn't die in some kind of SCEA certification hell that seems to have ate every other PS1 game recently.Joystick said: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.
"We'll definitely be looking at a lot of titles that have things like Street Fighter and Resident Evil in the title," Kramer said. "We're thinking about putting together a long list of the titles we're looking at, and then releasing it on Capcom Unity and having people vote on them. Ultimately we're looking at bringing between 20 and 40 titles to the PSN over the next several months."
