Massive SNK-themed PS1 update hits the Japanese PSN today

Sony continues to taunt North American and European PS3 owners today by releasing a huge amount of PS1 titles for play on the PSP or PS3. Weighing in at a staggering 13 titles, this batch has a heavy emphasis on fighting games -- especially the King of Fighters series which has three new games alone! Here's the full list:

Guilty Gear
King of Fighters '95
King of Fighters '96
King of Fighters '97
Little Princess: Maru Oukoku no Ningyou Hime 2
Real Bout Garou Densetsu Special: Dominated Mind
Samurai Spirits: Kenkaku Yubinan Pack
Septentrion
Spectral Force 2
Spectral Tower
Suna no Embrace

In addition to the huge list of PS1 titles above, Sony is also releasing a free demo of a XI, also known as Devil Dice. Meanwhile, we get Championship Sprint -- joy. For North American and European users desperate for new content, Guilty Gear in particular looks like a nice purchase. It was kind of hard to find back in the day in America and it should be fairly easy to play for those of us not fluent in Japanese. The King of Fighter's games come heavily recommended too ... if only for Mai Shiranui. Double-sided tape FTW!

Why must the US and EU continue to be treated like red-headed stepchildren by Sony? It's getting to be a bit rediculous now!

uhhh.... wasnt the japanese store supose to get a demo for folklore or folksSoul for the japanese :S

Yeah imma be bawling if I don't get mah folksoul demo this update. I already have that silly cat game that is diet-Home on acid.

I just finished writing 26 games that have apparently been released today on the HK store, but then realized that the release dates might have been goofed up due to reuploading or something. Must be, cause then there'd only be like 9 games before and they all came out last month.
