Yup!
Finally, after a long time in waiting, Sony's announced that they are releasing some Playstation 2 games on the Playstation Network, exactly as they have been doing for PS1 games. Each of them are a simple
10$ to purchase - the same as many of the 'more desired' PS1 classics, surprising a lot of people! Pushing for Playstation-exclusive games, they've decided to rerelease some of the "rare and beloved PS2 exclusives".
What's the launch list?
-
Odin Sphere (Video) ; the action RPG that launched Vanillaware into fame with the gaming community for its absolutely gorgeous visuals (It's all sprite-based but extremely lovingly so) and difficult gameplay. Personally I didn't actually like it that much, but I know a lot of people that disagree there.
-
gRiMgRiMoiRe (Video) ; Vanillaware's second game that flew under the radar comparatively. A 2D Real-time-strategy that I admittedly don't know much about.
-
Ring of Red (Video) ; Konami SRPG that hybrids real-time and turn-based strategy, also lots of mechs. I hadn't even heard of this but it looks pretty good actually, if a bit slow.
-
Maximo: Ghosts to Glory (Video) ; Capcom's 3D Platformer and sequal to the Ghosts & Goblins series. Known for being as tough as its predecessors at times!
-
God Hand (Video) ;
HOLY SHIT IT'S THE MOTHER FUCKING GOD HAND. I can't say enough about this game; one of the most beautiful, wacky, skillful, and obscenely difficult beat-em-up/action games of all time, made by the same team responsible for Viewtiful Joe and later Bayonetta. You need this game in your life.
Well, so much for my spare cash this paycheque~
