In case you guys are still not aware, PSP Firmware 3.03 is already out. We have already settled before that despite its issues with homebrew games and applications, the updates allow for more PlayStation games to be played on our dear, lovely handhelds. True enough, just hours after the release, Sony Japan has announced a new batch of titles that can be downloaded from the PlayStation Store.

The following titles will go live beginning December 21 for the Japanese market only. They can be purchased for the usual price of 525 Yen or roughly around US$ 4.45. Also, we're pretty sure you're quite familiar with some of these titles as they've been Dino Crisisported before for the U.S. market.
  • R-Types (Irem, shooter)
  • Taiyo no Shippo (aka Tail of the Sun, Artdink, action)
  • U-SA (Artdink, puzzle)
  • Dino Crisis (Capcom, action-adventure)
  • Global Force (SCE, sim)
  • Gekisou Tomaranna (SCE, racing)
  • Maru Oukoku no Ningyou Hime (Nippon Ichi, RPG)
  • The Convenie Ano Machi wo Dokusen se yo (Hamster, sim)
  • Mr. Driller (Bandai Namco Games, action)
As of this writing, Sony Japan is yet to make any statements about the said titles being available in other territories. In the meanwhile, why don't you try your luck with Santa's PS3-for-one-dollar offer...

Sorry, but R-Type and Dino Crisis are great games.

Dino Crisis and R-Type were one of the best titles on the PSX especially Dino Crisis. How can't you love a faster paced Resident Evil with dinosaurs running amok trying to eat you. Boss battles were awesome. Very memorable.

Damn i wish i could play r-tpe on my psp. That was truelly a good game, so please don't say that, "all those sony games suck ass" or whatever. if you have played evry single one of those games then by all means say what you think the ratings of those games should be.

is there a way to download these without a ps3? (legally or not)

by Astaroth - 2006-12-20 07:29
» Dino Crisis is awesome

Dino Crisis 1 + 2 > any Resident Evil IMO. Too bad they never continued the series. I really wish they would get a PC store you could get these games from, I would love playing Dino Crisis again on PSP.

by Planet - 2006-12-20 08:06
» well... surprise!

They did continue the series - it's just that the sequel kinda sucked... :I

» hayyyyy

» but

there was a sequel to Dino Crisis on Xbox though, which is where it fizzled into nothing.



I really hope we get a great batch of PSX games on the NA side soon.

by Spector - 2006-12-20 13:46
» hmmm

You know what's really sad the fact that you read this news then comment on it.



Just because 360 is the only next-gen system that doesn't have downloadable older games isn't a really for you to get all huffy at other's good news.
