Capcom unveils upcoming PSN slate

Classics Collections, Mega Man remakes go downloadable for PSP; more Resident Evil and Dino Crisis PlayStation originals headed for online store.

171 Comments

Although Sony updated its download library with several new titles six days ago, some might believe the online service still lacks enough titles to support the imminent October 1 launch of its UMD-less portable, the PSP Go. However, Capcom today announced it will help Sony augment its library selection with a slate of 10 titles confirmed for re-release on the PlayStation Network.

Fun fact: Captain Commando actually got his start in an excessively brutal black ops division of the fashion police. Pink is a fashion no-no.

The influx of Capcom titles begins tomorrow with the release of Capcom Classics Collection Remixed a compilation featuring Bionic Commando, 1941: Counter Attack, Magic Sword, Strider, and more than a dozen other titles. Capcom's other arcade archival bundle, Capcom Classics Collection Reloaded will follow at an undetermined date with a lineup, including Street Fighter II, King of Dragons, and Knights of the Round. Five other PSP games will also soon be joining the ranks of the downloadable, including Mega Man iterations Powered Up and Maverick Hunter X, as well as Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max.

Capcom is also planning to pad out its offerings of original PlayStation games downloadable for the PSP or the PlayStation 3 with Dino Crisis, Resident Evil 2, and Resident Evil 3: Nemesis set for Sony's online store. Meanwhile, Capcom promises to bring "one of Japan's most popular animes" to the PSN this summer with the release of the downloadable exclusive Fate/Unlimited Codes.

List of Capcom's upcoming PSN uploads:

Capcom Classics Collection Reloaded--PSP
Capcom Classics Collection Remixed--PSP
Darkstalkers--PSP
Dino Crisis--PSP, PS3
Mega Man Maverick Hunter X--PSP
Mega Man Powered Up--PSP
Power Stone Collection--PSP
Resident Evil 2--PSP, PS3
Resident Evil 3: Nemesis--PSP, PS3
Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max--PSP

@Hvac120 - Rumored PS2 "re"support coming to fruition & slimline PS3 w/ price drop + increased PSN catalogue + 2009 1st party titles = PS3 itself being hottest item

@Dawg9000 - Although that would be cool.. I imagine Sony wouldn't want the PS3 cannibalizing the PSP by being able to play all of its games.

Alright Sony.. pull some strings and get Final Fantasy VIII & IX, Silent Hill, Parasite Eve 1 & 2, Einhander, Chrono Cross, Breath of Fire 3 & 4, and Xenogears(among many others) on the PSN and you will be golden. Even though I have all of these titles.. a digital copy that is playable on the PSP as well is definitely worth the price tag.

@Petri87 - Yeah.. I never said that Silent Hill was a Capcom game.. I was referring to Sony getting more of the PS1 "survival horror" classics on PSN.. thats why I mentioned the three others I did.

I have a feeling that we are going to see a LOT of downloadable game announcements leading up to the holiday season. By the holiday we are sure to see a huge spike and PSN Gift Cards will be the hottest item at retail.

I know it's not Capcom, but, um... Parasite Eve, Tekken 3, and Final Fantasy 8 on PSN. And these? They're Capcom, but they're taking too long: Rival Schools, Marvel Super Heroes, X-Men vs. Street Fighter. Monkeys in the back, make it happen!!

@ Adziboy - you're right that you can setup accounts for the different territories, but the whole point is that we shouldn't have to do that. The PSN should be consistent across all territories - bottom line. And at the moment, it just isn't.... Europe gets especially skanked when it comes to not just the available content, but the way it's arranged too. For instance - looking for PS3 demos? Well, on Euro PSN, there's no demo section... you either have to look up the "latest" section and hope that new demos you're looking for are in there, or you have to trawl right through the A - Z or categories just to find them... I can't for the life of me think why you should have to do this on Euro PSN when on the US version, there is sensibly a section dedicated to demos as you would expect. Sony have a lot of work to do on their European PSN offering if they want to truly make their mark... so far, they're just not delivering as well as we know they can.

@Niccara - Silent Hill is a Konami game so i doubt that Capcom will announce that they are releasing it on PSN

Awesome, RE2 is a must buy for me. I had 1-3 on the PS and RE 0-4 on GCN and now I will have the best classic RE(RE2) on the PSP/PS3.

Oh, I am SO buying RE 1-3!!! I owned 1 and 2 back in the day and loved to have them back. I didn't care for the GCN remake of 1 and didn't feel like spending $20-$30 for the DC or GCN ports, so $6 a game for a total of $18 works for me!

Its about time someone did something on the PSN, its been pretty dire compared to the other two networks. With the obvious exception of final fantasy VII there havent really been any new titles worth buying so i welcome the inclusion of some of Capcoms finest!

I want to be excitied about this but with the European store they are taking way too long to give us PS games. I am keeping my fingers crossed we will be getting more soon as I am starting to get a bit disheartened with the European PSN :( Great news for US PSN though.
