Buena Park, Calif., (March 12, in the year of our Lord 2013) –
GungHo Online Entertainment America, a multiplatform publisher
for the online gaming community, today announced it has released
classic PlayStation® titles on the PSone Classics section of the
PlayStation®Store, which are now available for download, each at
a price of $5.99. The first batch of PSone Classics to be
released by the publisher in 2013, these new titles represent a
wide variety of game genres, from role-playing to puzzle and
simulation. Western players can now grab these previously rare
titles in their original, unaltered Japanese form by visiting
the import section of the PlayStation Store. The titles include:
Favorite Dear ~Enkan no Monogatari~ – In a world hurdling
towards ultimate destruction, society’s only hope rests in the
hands of one hero and his peace-loving angel companion. The
ultimate blend of RPG and simulation, players are given a unique
character-driven experience with a cast of fantastic and
unforgettable heroes.
First Queen IV – A chaotic real time strategy RPG in which
several factions and dozens of characters battle it out for
supreme control of a world known as Logres. Players will have to
test their mettle as they command troops to combat rival
warlords and forge alliances to ensure total conquest and bring
peace to the land.
Mahjong Uranai Fortuna ~Tsuki no Megami Tachi~ – Classic Mahjong
gameplay against three detestable fortune tellers at a time.
Players will engage in a traditional four person match up, and
win or lose they will at least walk away with a fortune.
Oz no Mahoutsukai ~Another World~ RungRung – L. Frank Baum’s
timeless tale, The Wizard of Oz, re-imagined in a fantastic new
adventure. Dorothy isn’t in Kansas anymore and players will be
tasked with following the yellow brick road to that place
“somewhere over the rainbow” in this familiar adventure.
Sentimental Graffiti – In this dating simulation, players will
take the role of a young suitor whose vagabond childhood left
him without ever having felt the sweet bliss of romance. When he
receives a mysterious letter stating, “I want to see you,”
players will need to figure out which one of twelve female
characters is his true secret paramour.
An eclectic mix of different genres for both core gamers and
Japanese gaming fans alike, these titles have been added to the
PlayStation Store imports section and are now available for
download. In addition, GungHo Online Entertainment America will
release more PSoneClassics in the coming months.
