Four more PS1 classics are hitting the Japanese PSN. The most notable one of the lot is Hudson's Bomberman. What's good about this title is that you can pick it up from the Japanese store and you can still play it just fine without any knowledge of the Japanese language. Playing it on the PS3 shouldn't cause any problems but playing on the PSP means that multi-player won't be possible.The other three games include Lord Monarch and Wizard's Harmony 2 which are both strategy RPGs. The last is Dig-a-Dig Pukka, a digging game. All titles are ¥600 ($5.73) each.

Why do you keep posting this PSPFanboy? To rub it in? To get us excited only to come crashing down every Thursday when we learn that nothing was put on the US site?
I hate Sony

Ignore Matt, I like these posts. Any news related to PSP gaming is a good thing. Keep em coming, www.pspfanboy.com!
I do agree that Sony should really be releasing these on both PSN and the Web. It's probably because they're PS1 classics, and they don't have a system set up for those to go straight to the PSP. Plus they probably see it as a bonus to those who own both systems.

Ask PSPFanboy question: Would I be able to change my settings or register a new user for Japan and buy games for my North American PSP?

Well, not necessarily Arabic, but if you are, where from?

Although there is some relevance for these stories for both import gamers and the health of the PSP in general wordwide, I agree that the stories can be a bit misleading/depressing for those of us outside Japan.
I'd suggest a separate newsfeed that deals only with the Japanese market (so we know that everything in this newsfeed pertains directly to us), OR....pspfanboy could at least mark all Japanese market articles clearly, so we know right away that they aren't as relevant. Maybe put a special border around them or use a special color or type of font in their headings.

Your acting like a princess. There is no need to make a special 'whatever' for Japanese Articles.

t_jh,
Your lame reply is the essence of FAIL.
My suggestion has merit. Sad for you. :-(

OK, I just figured it'd just be a waste of time and effort to make a separate news feed. Some people might want to see this news. As for the border, doesnt sound like a bad idea.
The title of this article needs something like "released in Japan", or "released on Japan PSN" add to it.
Nothing personal about the princess comment lol, just your comment was a little "Princessy" or . But your just making suggestions, didn't mean to offend. Your reply sounds a little condescending.

Thanks for clarifying. Yeah, I found your reply insulting, so I responded in kind.
Yeah, a separate feed may be a bit much, but I was just throwing suggestions out there (rather than simply complaining, which a lot of folks do). The big problem is that you have to read through an article to find out that it has nothing to do with you. And when its a good game or good news, that is a letdown. Heck, let them put a tiny Japanese flag or something next to Japanese headlines. That'd be a big improvement right there.

*sigh*
I'm once again reminded of the NA PSN store being populated mostly by tumbleweeds, whereas the Japanese PSN store is this magical wonderland of festive colors and amphibious attack tigers :(
