“The Japanese PSN Store is so full of whacked games, why shouldn’t everyone get the chance to play?” says John Griener, president of MonkeyPaw, with regard to future digital imports.

First, BurgerTime HD is a 2.5D game instead of a 2D game with high resolution sprites. Second, hamburger chefs run in a cylinder instead of a flat world.

An ESRB listing gives away the identity of what is possibly MonkeyPaw’s first retro game overhaul.

MonkeyPaw, the company gutsy enough to bring untranslated Japanese PsOne games to North America, released their first original game on DSiWare. No, it’s not an auto-scrolling shooter or wacky fighting game with intergalactic giants.

The last game in the pricey Arc the Lad Collection package will be available on PlayStation Network next week.

MonkeyPaw picked up an intergalactic fighting game for this week’s import release. Galaxy Fight from Sunsoft is coming to PlayStation Network.

MonkeyPaw games picked up distribution rights for Dezaemon Plus, which is like the Mario Paint of vertical scrolling shooters.

Winners of Arc the Lad code contest announced inside too!

MonkeyPaw’s next digital imports are (you guessed it!) Money Idol Exchanger and Sonic Wings Special.

If you didn’t figure it out from our puzzlenouncement, MonkeyPaw’s next two digital imports are Arcade Hits: Shienryu and Tall Unlimited.

Arc the Lad and Alundra, two hard to find PsOne RPGs are easy to purchase now, but bringing both games to PlayStation Network took a year of effort from MonkeyPaw.

ESRB leaks confirm Arc the Lad II and Arc Arena Monster Tournament for re-release on PlayStation Network.

Gaia Seed is one of those games that few have actually played, but nonetheless fetches insane prices on eBay. Now it’s on PSN for $6 and we took it for an Intense Fire test drive.

Congratulations to everyone who guessed Magical Drop F in our puzzle-nouncement on Friday. It’s one of the PsOne imports coming to PlayStation Network this week.

When Sony Computer Entertainment America updates the PlayStation Store next week you’ll be able to access Imports on the PlayStation Store, a new area loaded with games directly from Japan.

When Sony Computer Entertainment posted their PlayStation Plus schedule they also inadvertently pinned down release windows for Gaiaseed and Cho Aniki.
