You can’t find copies of these games for love nor blowjobs in my home country, but Konami has been gracious enough to release Suikoden on the PlayStation Network. I am pretty sure this is excellent news and we should be happy.
Priced at a sweet $5.99, this old PlayStation classic is considered to be one of the best RPGs the system ever housed, and the franchise overall has earned a reputation as a genre flag bearer. Either way, it’s shot to the top of my PSN “things to buy” list. A list that, to be honest, includes about two other titles at best.
Press release after the jump.
