Konami's hardly to blame here. SCEA does not approve ports (enhanced or not) from PSOne or PS2 games for the PSP. Namco's Tales of Eternia didn't make it to the US for the same reasons.

So release it in Europe then. Thanks to the PSP being region-free, North American gamers could import it anyway. Just fix the translation errors in the English text, leave the rest like it was for the uneducated countries.

Popolocrois and Ape Escape: On the Loose are standing behind you, looking over your shoulder, and laughing at you.

True. Although, as someone pointed out, both are early internal projects.

While you guys area at it, ask for the bonus movie disc in mgs3:subsistence to be released in PAL and US areas.

k bye.

no suikoden psp = am cry

about policenauts and snatcher: i doubt kojima has anything against his own games, other than the natural relationship an artist has with old work. he probably just feels like he's done with those, and doesn't want to drag it back out again. then again, this is the guy who's built a career on one series...

Why do people keep saying that crap? Everyone knows it's not true.

No enhanced PS2 games ported to the PSP? Then among other things WTF is Midnight Club 3?

You need to refine your statement... are you talking PSP import titles?

 

[hooded pitohui]

I don't have a PSP yet, but if this were to come out in the states (retranslated!) that would definitely move me to buy one.

 

[Link1110]

I emailed Konami about it. What's sad is, out of the 4 best games for PSP (Tales of Eternia, Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner, Tengai Makyou 4, and now this) none of them will probably come out here.

Oh snap, I forgot about the region free thing. I'ill gladly import then if it at least get's an english European release..

 

[Greenpanda]

I'm absolutely, positively sure that Konami really won't translate the game and isn't merely using this announcement to stoke Suikoden fans' interest in an "unobtainable" game. Yep. No chance of that happening.

 

[CO_Andy]

Maybe Working Designs could pick it up... or Mastiff, or Atlus, or Xseed...

Uhm, do you work in a game company? You can keep defending SCEA all you want, but it's them that's stopping publishers from bringing these title over.

There might be hope if it goes through SCEE. Be courteous in writing the letter, just let Konami know that there are people like you who want the game.

...this is the saddest news I've ever read

I'm emailing.

The real test will likely be if Rockman Dash 1-2 and BOF3 get greenlighted. If they don't, I think the idea that SCEA's blocking PSone ports (not made by their parent) has some merit.
