Konami releases three (count them) Compilations for PSP, Pop 'n Twinbee, Salamander and Parodius.

Now there good and bad news about this.

The bad news first: No US release. I dare to say never.

The good news, all will be coming on January 25th, 2007.

Now I want a PSP.

And they already released the Gradius Collection, no?

That's one of the few reasons I'd want a PSP... classic compilations and emulation.

Doesn't excite me.

I'm a killer for shmups, but as an owner of the Gradius Collection for the PSP I can say that the PSP controls are absolutelly terrible for these kinds of games. The d-pad is a monstrousity. It just didn't feel right at all.

It's harsh, but I just wanted to hear this!

Now, how to get this thing on a) Wii VC or b) Nintendo DS?

VC is possible, you'd have to think that Gradius and Gradius III will be on there at some point. Life Force/Salamander too... dunno about the market for Parodius here though. That might be a EU thing since I know two games were released there.

Son of a ...

But yeah, VC would be awesome. I don't know, there's just something about shoot em' ups on handhelds that I don't like.

I'd love to play real versions of Paradius too, but who knows.

Uh-huh.

They might port some PAL stuff to North America and vice-versa, but I don't see many Japanese games heading over. Maybe some that don't require translation...

Now as this is Sony I'm guessing no US release means no EU release either. I hope you're not planning to import it from Japan? They'll send goons to break your legs!

Not always... some strange (and good) things end up getting EU-only releases. That was the case near the end of the NES days where a bunch of good platformers ended up only in Europe.

Terranigma also comes to mind, although SNES ... but yeah.

They have gotten stuff the US hasn't.

And the US has even gotten more staff than the EU hasn't.

Yes, but... from Sony? The same Sony that raped and murdered Lik-sang just to stop Europeans from getting PSPs and PS3s?

The point is that Europe doesn't always get screwed.

Most of the time, yes, but there's always exceptions.

Yeah, Eyetoy Monkey Mania for PS2 came out only in Japan and Europe.

It's mainly PC games which reach EU countries yet not US however. Sega has done that a lot, with titles like Crazy Taxi 3, Billy Hatcher, and Sonic Adventure DX. Taito Legends 2 so far appears to be vaporware also.

Did I mention the PC version of Mega Man X8 is amazing? Excellent game! It even supports the rarely-offered option to use controller rumble. But, still never reached US shelves (digital distribution only there)...

I should get more PSP games now that I have a system that can save progress on my memory cards correctly. Of course, being now able to use NES, SNES, and Genesis emulation is alright too. I thank the photo exploit for allowing homebrew with a 2.6 unit. I'm pretty sure that GTA one was removed from 'Greatest Hits' discs like mine.
Cynthia

Uh-huh.

*mini bump*

Talk about timing... Gradius is out for the VC today. One of the better NES games out at the moment to spend your 500 points on.

In the US, I hope it comes to Europe on Friday.
Meanwhile, O got to level 3 in R-Type.

And I found my two copies of Parodius (NES and SNES). Play Time!

It probably will and Soldier Blade (TG16) is also possible for Europe this week.

There's a LOT of shooters they could end up putting on the VC, to be honest.
