Former blogger Rafael once said excited about Konami's classic compilation Gradius Collection: "We likey!" Well, it looks like Konami's planning to make Rafael likey for a long, long time, with new compilations of their other classic shooter series. The Salamander Collection and Parodius Collection will contain four titles each (with one bonus *secret* title for each compilation... ooh!). I'm personally psyched for Twinbee Collection, because it's by far the most recognizable of these hardcore shooters (it also has one more game than the other collections, for the budget-conscious).
All three collections are planned to hit Japan in January for 4179 yen (less than $40), so importers should keep an eye out. Until then, educate yourself on these classic series by visiting Wikipedia.

Personally, I want the Salamander Collection - I'm addicted to Lifeforce! ;) Of course, I already have multiple copies for various platforms so I probably won't be buying it again.

*sigh*
And they wonder why PSP sales are in the gutter.
I'm sure they'll be full price $50~ and tank in sales.
It'd be just as easy to put them all on one UMD and sell for $40 and watch sales skyrocket.

I mean, if they ever got released here, which I doubt.
Sorry for being negative.

Well, in Japan, they're going for less than $40 each. That's not bad at all, considering how Japanese games tend to me more expensive than American. Also, I don't think I've seen a PSP game hit $50 in a long time (last time was GTA... next time will be, well, GTA...)
