Capcom finally working on PS1 titles for PSN store photo

Capcom readers haven't been the happiest with the lack of content from the company, specifically in the form of their PS1 titles. Japan keeps getting flooded with old Capcom titles, while not too much has hit our shelves. Understandably, Capcom has had a lot of big name titles lined up, and so their PS1 library likely fell by the wayside.

Well, SiliconEra dug up a thread over at the Capcom-Unity forums where Christian Stevenson has stated that they've gone and submitted some PS1 titles last week for approval and so we'll likely start seeing several roll out within the coming months. Already titles like Street Fighter Alpha 2 and 3 have been rated by the ESRB for PS3/PSP use, but I have a feeling that these will be different from there.

Looking at the list of titles Capcom has published for the PS1, we'd most likely get some of the Resident Evil titles, and maybe even Rival Schools, since they've been on a run with fighting games as of recent. More details will emerge as the PSN process moves along. What title do you want to see most on the PSN?

If they ported over the japanese version of rival schools with the story mode, I'd buy it even though I have the US version already.

Bringing over the original RE titles as downloads is a no brainer I think. With people playing RE5 and the wii lightgun shooters, I think they'd sell well.

I would buy Resident Evil 2 again, just to play it on my PSP.

I would very much like Capcom to release Cyberbots (in English) on PSN. A boy can dream...

Great news! Wish Square would get on this as well so we could get Parasite Eve on there :/

My dreamlist:
Alpha 2&3
Darkstalkers 1&3
All the Marvel/Street fighter vs Capcom games (apart from 2 obviously)
Rival Schools

There's probably plenty of worthy non 2D fighters as well, but those are the first to come to mind ;) The original Resis would be fun too.

Capcom has been talking about this for months, so they should release something of that soon.
Japan has a ton of PSOne games on PSN and I really can't understand why other territories don't.

Oh DMV don't tantalize me with hopes and dreams that Rival schools and Project Justice may once again grace our consoles with their presence.

I don't think I could bare the disappointment if it never came true :(

Oh well thats a good thing. Maybe in about two years theyll have 1 title up. Oh and I know this doesnt have to do with capcom or anything but I still want MGS 1 on the PS Store! Its not enough that I bough the game twice, I want to buy it a third time so I can play it on my psp.

Eh, Project Justice was Dreamcast, so probably won't be getting that. Tron Bonne would be awesome, as that game is impossible to find though.

I was just bitching about Resident Evil (1, 2, and 3) NOT being on PSN. Maybe I'll get to replay the classic 1 and 2?
I wouldn't mind playing Marvel Vs Capcom 1 & 2 on my PS3. =D

There's a problem with Marvel vs. Capcom -- more licensing problems.

MvC2 was rated by the ESRB for PS3 & 360, so there's a SLIGHT (& I do mean slight) chance that MvC might come to PSN.......someday.

I REALLY would like to see Misadventures of Tron Bonne, Mega Man Legends 2, Cyberbots (come on, the Virtual Console has imports!), Rival Schools, & Strider 2.
