Erhmagawd

 

[Thaster]

Heck yeah!

I've been wanting to play these games for quite a while now.

 

[krossj]

With the EU blog not reporting it doesn't look like it will be getting released here anywhere near as soon or if at all..

 

[Mutagenic]

This and DOTT are my favorite announcements.

 

[Cyrus_Saren]

Holy shit! It's about time. My buddy is going to be psyched.

 

[pahamrick]

No chance this is the PSP version of I and II. I don't see Konami putting in that sort of effort, it's just going to be the original PSX versions made downloadable directly on Vita.

Will grab Suikoden II before the end of the year, it'll be my first time playing it.

 

[jj984jj]

"PSN and Vita"

So...for PS3 and PS4 as well?

You can't play PS1 games on PS4.

 

[JumpJeff84]

Great! I've always wanted to play Suikoden 2

 

[Murdamonk]

Finally!! I have been waiting forever for this announcement.... I can die in peace now...

I have been regretting since i have sold by copy of Suikoden 2 back then..

 

[B.K.]

The Playstation Blog confirms that it's the PS1 version and not a localization of Suikoden I&II.

It is then with great joy that I am able to announce that *deep breath* Suikoden II is coming to PlayStation Network as a PS one Classic in North America for the first time on December 9th.

Meh. Nice for the guys who never got to play it first time round of course, but I was kinda hoping for the psp edition. :/

 

[enigmatic_alex44]

yaaaas, always wanted to play 2.

V was amazing, and I used to own 1 which was pretty good, but sad I missed out on 2.

Holding onto hope they release a bundle of 1&2 on a Vita cartridge as well, not a fan of digital tbh

 

[Tripon]

Just need Suikoden 3, 4, and 5 on PSN.

 

[NEO0MJ]

Is it worth playing the original or should I just skip to the sequel?

 

[Tripon]

You get bonuses if you beat Suiko 1 and transfer save file to 2. In particular,

Spoiler

being able to play as Tir McDoul in Suikoden 2.

 

[Gillian Seed]

Price?

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

It's a fantastic game too.

 

[cj_iwakura]

It's a fantastic game too.

3 is better than both, though.
(I'll show myself out)

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

I'll bolt the door

 

[PixyJunket]

Wait a second, I'm supposed to hate Konami and never ever give them money ever again.

I am conflicted.

 

[Zeouterlimits]

But what about Europe

This. THIS.

 

[Memory]

Europe needs this... I need this... Sony pls.

 

[SiegfriedFM]

Since they mentioned Suikoden, which is already on US PSN, surely they must mean it's coming to Europe?

 

[The Illiterati]

I've wanted to play Suikoden 2 since it was out. I'm glad I rebought Suikoden last year. So excited!

 

[Sibersk Esto]

So happy

 

[IrishNinja]

3 is better than both, though.

ahahaha
<3 for cj...but yeah

 

[ShogunDarius]

I wanna know if Suikoden 1 and 2 are coming to EU

 

[AuthenticM]

I yelled "YEEEAAAHHHH" when that happened. My friend was like "wtf ?!".

 

[cyborg009]

So are they bring the PS1 version to Vita or the PSP port?

 

[MilesTeg]

Next week too right? Sweet deal, I already got some funds in my wallet. Will download and play for first time in many, many years.

 

[dragonlife]

Fuck yeah. Time to play 1, then. Been holding off.

 

[radios shipping overview]

This is the real news of the show. :bow :bow :bow

 

[Dwight Schrute]

"EU, You want Suikoden so bady ?"

"P...please, stop Konami..."

 

[Napalm_Frank]

Seems like no EU for now . PS EU blog doesn't list it on the PSX announcements.

 

[Meneses]

I was checking my US account and it says Suikoden is not downloadable on the Vita.

Was Suikoden one of those games that needed to be copied through a PS3?

 

[Rocky]

You can't play PS1 games on PS4.

At least you can't right now. But there is still plenty of time left in the PSX conference.

Yes, use the copy from PS3 technique. I have it on my Vita this way.

 

[PixyJunket]

PS1.

 

[YianGaruga]

Seems like there might be a chance. I tweeted them that I would prefer the English US version. The German one is a mess.

 

[Beartruck]

Yeeeeesssssss, it will be mine. I was this close to bowing down to ebay scalpers for S2. So glad I waited.

 

[ToraShiro]

Not just Yuichi, but I and many others (particularly the digital software team) have been working for years to get this up and it is incredibly relieving to finally have the single most requested game in Konami's library available to fans old and new. I even called out those that joined us for the journey in our PSBlog post (on phone right now). Can't wait to talk to you all about what you think of it in the months to come as I replay them on my own Vita.

 

[CorrisD]

Yea they seem to have completely ignored it, which means we aren't getting it, god dammit, I just want to play Suikoden, is that to much to ask?

Seems like there might be a chance. I tweeted them that I would prefer the English US version. The German one is a mess.

They created the whole "US Imports" section of the store for PS1 classics so they could just throw over the US versions of games into European stores, I really don't see why they can't continue doing that for all the PS1 titles that we are missing.

 

[Chun-Li]

So happy this is finally going to be available!

 

[Maintenance]

Already have Suikoden 1, will buy Suikoden 2.

 

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

Wow! Awesome! Getting these.

 

[Zee-Row]

Wonder if they fixed the music glitchs and translation errors in Suikoden 2?

Awesome news. Did you guys fix what was holding it back? Or was it more a legal thing?

Also, please start releasing TG16 games on 3DS VC. :-\

 

[yurinka]

Are they coming as PSOne classics/straight ports or are they enhaced/remade/similar?

 

[thuway]

Looks like Suikoden 2 resale prices will finally drop like a rock.

 

[Meneses]

Yes, use the copy from PS3 technique. I have it on my Vita this way.

Thanks!

 

[ToraShiro]

Awesome news. Did you guys "fix" what was holding it back? Or was it more a legal thing?

Basically. A lot of dragging feet across the pond, but in particular a new hire from the last few months has been key to making it happen.

The same dude whose job it will be to get those other titles out on other platforms, so let's show Japan that there is a real thirst in N/S America for these legacy titles with S2.
