Four more PS1 classics are hitting the Japanese PSN. The most notable one of the lot is Hudson’s Bomberman. What’s good about this title is that you can pick it up from the Japanese store and you can still play it just fine without any knowledge of the Japanese language. Playing it on the PS3 shouldn’t cause any problems but playing on the PSP means that multi-player won’t be possible.
The other three games include Lord Monarch and Wizard’s Harmony 2 which are both strategy RPGs. The last is Dig-a-Dig Pukka, a digging game. All titles are ¥600 ($5.73) each.

Of all of the libraries of older games I want to dig into for re-release, Konami’s is probably the most tempting. They already gave us Castlevania: Symphony of the Night as a PlayStation Classic, and I still play it from time to time on my PSP or PS3.
Siliconera says that the PlayStation classic Suikoden may also see a re-release as a PlayStation Classic. The ESRB re-rated Suikoden as a PlayStation 3 / PSP title, which points to the possiblity of a new downloadable title. Of course, this could mean nothing at all, as there is no confirmation fo a release yet. But then I’d get to kick the ass of Siliconera’s Spencer for toying with my emotions.
For those that don’t remember, Suikoden was a damned fine RPG (introduction movie above). It had great battle mechanics, an incredible musical score, and a cast of over 100 characters. It spawned several sequels, ranging from great to blah, but this one and its sequel, Suikoden II, were the most treasured. And they both fetch a pretty penny among collectors these days.
Come on, Konami. Let’s see this release!
