Downloadable PSP Legacy Games Flood Japan

Sony and other third party publishers have been re-releasing a steady stream of downloadable PSP games in North America. Japan is starting to catch up. Marvelous, Spike, AQ Interactive, Koei, and Konami brought a chunk of titles, mostly niche games, to the PlayStation Store.

There are some gems in the selection like Gitaroo Man Lives and Salamander Portable, which is pretty hard to come by.

 

Sony, or perhaps the publishers, chose to sell digital versions close to retail prices. Take Dynasty Warriors as an example. Yes, it’s only 1,200 yen ($14), but that’s only a little cheaper than Amazon since Koei re-released the game. Used prices are likely to be even lower. Greatest Hits style reprints are part of the reason prices are so staggered.

 

It’s going to be rough to convince PSP owners to switch to the PSP Go if downloads cost just as much, maybe more than used games. However, the PSP store might be a good place for importers to pick up titles they missed like Salamander Portable.

 

Here’s the list of third party legacy games recently added to Japan’s store.
