Re: seems unfair, so few t16 games on psn, some in HK, none in europe

[imparanoic]

just got pc engine genjin 2 ( bonk's revenge) via psn for ps vita and ps3 at HK$48(US$6/GBP4), couldn't resist it even though I have pc engine original hucard in storage (same with my duo and xrgb 2 plus, kids are priority at moment, so limited space in locked tv cabinets )

it's great, seems perfect, I had a quick look at wiki site, I was shocked to see there are only a few t16 games on psn, none in Europe, don't seem fair.

what pc engine /turbo 16 games would you buy for 2nd time if available in your psn  ?

hi.

Yeah, I am always surprised when certain titles are not available in all markets. A text-heavy game? Sure, the language barrier might be an issue. But with digital content, why not offer everything?

If offering "everything" is too overwhelming to the average consumer, then the digital store could be structured so that a small list of AAA  titles were given highest visibility...and only dedicated PCE fans would dig deep into the menus to find more obscure PCE games.

IMO, I noted that most of the pc engine and tg16 was released prior to Konami taking over Hudson soft  towards the end of 2011 , thus,  I suspect, if there was planned more releases ( ie, similar to wii virtual console which released a few years before) then konami scrapped it, cos I noted that no new pc engine games was introduced to hk psn after 2011, same with tg16 which was a bit behind, worse still uk and Europe ( none at all)

Konami cut it off. I remember listening to a podcast with a guy from Hudson in the U.S. That was working on steadily releasing tg16/PC-engine to psn. Well they got closed down when Konami bought them. Too bad Konami didn't keep that going.
