DualShockers writes, "I’m always on the look out for titles coming over from Japan, because many times the publishers (and developers, really) of those niche titles are smaller and need all the media coverage they can get. Imagine my surprise when reading through a press release sent out this afternoon from MonkeyPaw Games.
The press release states that “on September 21st, Sony Computer Entertainment America will release the first games on a new service called Imports on the PlayStation Store”. Say what? You heard that right. Is this something new? I’ve never seen it or heard about it before in my life. Sure, I’ve heard of MonkeyPaw Games, a new publisher dedicated to bringing smaller, retro Japanese titles over to North America. But, an import store on the PSN? Who would have thought I’d ever see the day
Here are ten reasons why we still love the original PlayStation.
Resi 1 and Crash 1 these games go together in my nostalgia filled memory as the start of PS brand afficionando ....and objectively and curiously still remain untouched peaks in their genres ...nothing came close to them
It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.
The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.
Scrawl: "Looks like we know how that new Compile Heart countdown is going to end. The latest issue of Famitsu has confirmed that Agarest Senki 2, known as Record of Agarest War 2 in the US, is Compile Heart’s newest title."
1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.
If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).
Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.
Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.
@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.
I approve of this god damn message.
Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.
There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.
Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.
Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
cool, to bad they are not translated
This could set an interesting precedent for at least bringing over PSP imports and such. I'd love to see it go in that direction.
PlayStation Import Store??? Hell Yes!!! I have been dying for something like this and I think a lot of people have.
WOWOWOWOWOW.
COOOL. Now I don't have to pay those stupid import fees for JP only games.
cool so now sonys gona be even more lazy and just upload everything to the import store instead of localizing it for us.
