Sony may taketh with one hand, but at least it giveth with the other. Kind of. Apparently, Izumi Kawanishi, the head of platform development at Sony Japan, has confirmed to a Japanese newspaper that the company plans a retro gaming service for PSP, allowing users to download classic PSone titles via PC or PlayStation3. The service is due to launch in Japan in November and may also feature movie downloads - sensible as the UMD format has floundered. As for a European launch? In the words of many a daytime debate show guest, 'don't go there, girl...'.
So to briefly take your minds off the whole PS3 issue, which PlayStation titles would you most like to revist on your PSP? Sony hasn't announced any candidates yet, but here's my Top Five wishlist...
Super Puzzle Fighter II Timeless puzzling action.
Resident Evil 2 I never finished it! Oh the shame.
Vib Ribbon I'd like to give it another chance.
Vandal Hearts Konami's lovely tactical RPG.
Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus I loved this game: "Hello" "hello" "Come with me" "okay"...
