Turbografx-16 games hit the PlayStation Network in Japan photo

This kills me. This kills me not only as a huge Turbografx-16 fan, but as an American PlayStation Network user that is still patiently waiting for many of the killer PlayStation One titles Japan has available.

Now we have even more to feel jealous over.  As of today on Japan's PSN, Bomberman ‘94, New Adventure Island, Sengoku Mahjong, and Devil’s Crush can be downloaded and played on both the PS3 and the PSP, each priced at 600 yen. Siliconera says that even more Turbografx-16 titles are planned for the future, though no specifics were given.

I truly hope they come to their senses and release these great old games here in the US. Oh, and get on the PSOne stuff, too. Don't give me another motorcycle game, Sony.

Hey, if you ever come through Denver, just swing by the store. We've got a Turbo-Grafx 16 and a whole mess of games for it.

/shameless self-promotion and toadying

PappaDukes - Well now I feel guilty 'cause I didn't expect any actual interest. I'm not too comfortable explicitly following-up in somebody else's comments, so if you really want to check us out, just head over to my profile. The link's in my "about me", and labeled appropriately.

I was going to ask what the big deal was since these are on the Virtual Console, but you can put these on the PSP. That'd be enough for me to switch consoles.

Bring this to the US, and bring Keith Courage with it! I have been waiting for that game on the WVC for almost three years now.
