TG Games come to PSN
« on: January 05, 2011, 11:39:57 AM »
I'm there!

Japanese PSN users have been enjoying PC Engine titles since 2009. Now it's North America's turn, as Hudson readies ten TurboGrafx-16 classics for release as TurboGrafx Classics for PlayStation Network. Now the Christmas card makes sense!

Bonk's Adventure is just one of the ten titles being released individually this winter via the PlayStation Network, representing a wide range of hits for the console that failed to make much of a splash in North American waters. Players can look forward to Alien Crush, Bomberman '94, Dungeon Explorer, Neutopia, New Adventure Island, Soldier Blade, Super Star Soldier, Victory Run, and World Sports Champion as well.

Mind you most (if not all) of these titles are already available on WiiWare. Still, it's great to see the PlayStation 3 get more retro gaming love, especially when it comes in Bonk form.

You're right, these will at least be 720p.  Not bad.  Considering though that you can now run custom firmware, I bet people will just emu the hell of it now.  Especially with CD-Rom versions.

I just discovered that the Japanese PS3 had TG-16 and was wondering why that never came over. I don't expect to see another TG-16 on the Wii, so this hopefully will do well.

I wonder why they stopped with the TG-16 releases on the Wii.
