Capcom dates promised PSP UMD Legacy titles

by James Ransom-Wiley on Oct 7th 2009 8:00PM

Last Friday, a blog entry at Capcom Unity (that was mysteriously pulled) revealed the names and dates for a number of "UMD Legacy" titles for re-release on the PlayStation Store:

October 8: Darkstalkers Chronicle: The Dark Tower
October 15: Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max
October 22: Capcom Puzzle World
October 29: Maverick Hunter X
November 5: Megaman Powered Up

This list completes the lineup of un-UMD'd games promised three months ago (and tosses in Capcom Puzzle World for good measure). While Capcom has neglected to price any of these titles, previously released Legacy games are currently $19.99 each on the PlayStation Store. Unsure of the veracity of the pulled info, we confirmed with Capcom's Chris Kramer, who told us that the "titles are correct and the dates should be fairly accurate," though he did admit that it's "hard to pin down digital release dates almost until they happen."

Still unaccounted for? Those PS1 old-timers you've been waiting forever to buy again: Dino Crisis, Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3.

Thanks you, James!

Hopefully they wise up, visit the PSP section of Joystiq and realize: I NEED DINO FRICKEN CRISIS!

(and RE3, since I still own my RE2 Dualshock :P )

Am I mistaken or did Capcom promise a flood of PS Classics by the end of summer?

I believe they said this year would make us very happy with the content that gets aded to PSN, I do recall a comment about the summer though as well.

I'm hoping they drop RE2 for Halloween. THAT would make me very happy, 3 at the same time would make me need to change my pants.

PSP = Fail

I feel so sorry for you right now.

Bane = Fail

Hmm, I guess you don't like decent handhelds then....

Megaman X = best SNES game of all time.

Incorrect. That'd be Chrono Trigger. Though MMX is the best of the X series.

You're both wrong, it's Super Metroid...

Okay, i'm gonna agree with Levi.

hey yo Frostblade10, that's a great comment, and i'ma let u finish, but Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past was one of the best SNES games of all time!
OF ALL TIME!

Oh knows! I got downvoted on joystiq! What shall I do?

That's right. Keep on not caring what the idiotic masses known as the Internet think.

Don't worry, the new issue of (insert any gaming magazine here) is coming soon, so don't fret. You can make all the comments you want at those and, best of all, nobody will reply to them.

You know, its "Oh noes!" not "Oh knows"......tsk tsk tsk

Ugh. Why do you even bother? I can't stand it when people say some flame-bait and then when they get down-voted they at like sarcastically like a child.

Seriously, what's the point?

*act sarcastically like

Much better.

"Keep on not caring what the idiotic masses (AKA Bane) known as the Internet think."
I'll take your advice bub.
*downvotes*

If you truly didn't care, you wouldn't have bothered informing us you don't care.

Yeah! I don't care what the idiot masses of the internet think!

So maybe I should go tell them..... on the internet....

/irony

Breath of Fire III please? Even the fourth one would be nice, I never played that one. I agree with the comment somewhere above about Megaman X, even though it's an snes title, would be sweet to be able to play that (or any of the ps1 titles for that matter) on my psp via a download.

Maverick Hunter X is a very competent remake of MMX. I'd recommend it.

Also, BOF III is a wonderful game.

I case you didn't know BOFIII did come out on UMD... but it was only in Europe. I got mine new from a seller on the Amazon marketplace who had acquired a number of them. Actually, I just checked and there are 5 for sale, starting at $27.95

Maverick Hunter X doesn't replace MMX, but it is good. They redid the Sigma stages, so you do have something new to play through, though I admit I don't think they're as good as the original X Sigma stages.

Enjoy having 3 year old games piecemealed out to you.
This is exactly why digital distribution is bad for the consumer.
Whoever came up with PSN Thursday shouldn't have a job

That's good, I never got to play Megaman Powered Up during my previous PSP owning days. Now that I own a Go, I'll finally get off my lazy ass and buy it. And by get up off of my lazy ass, I mean sitting in a heap on a chair and download it.

Maybe I didn't read it clearly...but when were those dated? Blog post was removed, anyone know the dates?

At least the lack of load times in Darkstalkers is definitely a plus.

Seriously, what's the point of downvoting?

Let's see... IT BLANKS OUT STUPID CRAP PEOPLE POST.

Not that hard to figure out, considering that it happens to all the trolls and the idiots.

(I'll leave you to find out which category you fall in.)

Oh, come the hell on. Like you had no idea what you were doing?

So I don't get to see your abortions of comments.

Oh sorry, I need to get my shit straight.

I got tired of Chrono Trigger in the castle after the fair.

You crazy. I'd actually probably put MMX in my top 5 SNES games.

I actually got tired of Chrono Trigger as well. I only played the DS remake, so maybe it's just one of those games where you needed to be there when it happened.

Reuben, I think you're exactly right. I was 8 when CT came out and I spent hours trying to beat that motherfucker.

I agree. I spent 9 hours playing Mario RPG the first day it came out.

When Capcom says "coming very soon" they mean in 7 months to 8 years.

Powered Up and Maverick are good, but I don't think Capcom should charge over $10 for them. The amount they could sell at that price is much better than what it would be at $15+

I think $10 is a little slim really. MHX was a competent remake what with the Day of Sigma and a few new bonuses but MM Powered Up really went above and beyond. Making the bosses playable, challenge modes, level editor, etc, etc. I'd honestly say MMPU is probably the most complete MM experience on any system; worth more than $10 IMO.

Agreed. I bought MMX from Target 2 years ago for $11. Not on sale or clearance, just $11. So if Sony can't even come close to matching a price from 2 years ago what is the point of the digital download?

I hope they release Mega Man Legends 1 and 2 on the PSN... They released them on UMD in Japan, but they never released them here. :(

Oh really, I shoulda known that actually >< I kinda overlooked that title for some reason. Thanks for the reply! I'll definitely take a look.

Even though DC and RE aren't on the agenda- I'm definitely buying Megaman X

I'm really craving for some dino crisis and resident evil 2! Come on Capcom you know October is the PERFECT month for survival horrors!

Capcom has made things easy for me over the past few years; anything with its name associated with it is an instant "DO NOT FUCKING BUY." Thanks Capcom.

Being that I tend to be cursed... well too rough for UMD discs, I am pretty happy for the move to digital and rounding up my remaining UMDs that work and trading them in for cards. I think Sony has a better pricing structure when it comes to Downloadable games compared to Nintendo's Wii/DS store.

I know the argument could be made that it would be much cheaper to just Memory stick duos and just ignoring the UMD drive on classic PSPs, but I just want to upgrade my hardware, and of course I will be waiting for PSP GO to be on sale in November(Black Friday).

In relation to this post though, Can't wait to rebuy MegaMan:Powered Up, Hopefully created content will still be nice post-LBP PSP.

Keep milking Megaman. Seriously, there are some franchises that should just DIE.

Those Megaman games were hella fun, so hopefully they come out a a decent price for more folks to enjoy them. That Street Fighter better come out at like $9.99, too, seeing as how the PS1 classics from that same series are $6.99.
