Other Square Enix games with no planned remakes on PSN

By Spencer . July 9, 2008 . 1:10am

Square Enix games are surging to the top of the PlayStation Network charts in Japan. Xenogears is number one. Ehrgeiz, the PsOne fighting game starring Cloud, has a chance to dethrone it. Brave Fencer Musashi could climb the ladder too since it is a short, but entertaining romp. However, after the disappointing reception of Samurai Legend Musashi I doubt Square Enix is going to remake Brave Fencer Musashi so it’s on Japan’s PlayStation Store for the low price of 600 yen ($5.60). Raycrisis, a port of a Taito arcade game, could also be considered a Square Enix game since they are Taito’s parent company.

Stuff that doesn’t have to do with Square Enix has to do with the ocean. Sony put Aquanaut's Holiday: Memories of Summer 1996, a Japan only sequel to Aquanaut's Holiday, and B.l.u.e. Legend of Water on the PlayStation Store too. Both are preludes to the PlayStation 3 version of Aquanaut's Holiday which is scheduled to come out on September 25 in Japan.

Here is a list of games added on the Japanese PlayStation Store today. Each one costs 600 yen.

I was just about to post this news! It’s also worth mentioning that Brave Fencer Musashi is only compatible with the PSP, meaning you can’t play it on the PS3. Makes me wonder why that is when a majority of the other titles are PS3 compatible, but beggars can’t be choosers I guess.

Yeah, I was wondering why Brave Fencer Musashi is the only one that isn’t PS3 compatible since all of them are for PSP/PS3, though I must say I usually play them on the PSP for portability, and better looking on a smaller screen. But it feels like a better deal to be able to choose whether to play it on a big TV or on the go, like getting 2 games for 600yen.

The best seller list is a pretty good reference for which game is fun to play. I never really got into Metal Gear Solid before, but after playing the PS1 game I was instantly hooked, and I then I got Policenauts as well and just realized the greatness of Kojima The only game I kind of regret buying is “Shikabane wo Koeteyuke”, a weird simulation game that’s not really my cup of tea.

Need to get back to Xenogears soon.. just finished Professor Layton 2 last week, the first one took me months to finish since the Eng. text was extremely tiny and tired my eyes, while the Jpn txt was much more readable.
