Resident Evil 2 hits Japanese PSN Store

Posted on December 29th, 2007 at 06:51 EDT

The folk from the Land of the Rising Sun have a nice surprise waiting for them in their PlayStation Store today.

Among a host of other PlayStation games gracing the Japanese PSN is eponymous zombie survival-horror sequel, Resident Evil 2, known as Biohazard 2 over there. The game is notable for being set in an entire city rather then the mansion of the first title, and introduces two new playable characters; rookie cop Leon S. Kennedy (who later appeared in Resident Evil 4), and college student Claire Redfield.

The full list is as follows:

Biohazard 2 (Resident Evil 2), as detailed above
Intelligent Qube, a puzzle game involving cubes
PoPoLoCrois Monogatari II, an RPG reminiscent of FF: Tactics
Crime Crackers 2, a scrolling shooter with strong Anime influences
Atelier Marie Plus, an RPG based on an Anime about Alchemy
Tantei Jinguji Saburo Early Collection, is some form of Detective game
Magical Drop, a puzzle game that works a bit like an upside down Puyo-Puyo game
Baroque, a survival horror that works a bit like Devil May Cry
And finally, Robin Lloyd no Bouken, which seems to be an adventure game with a lot of dialog akin to the Legend of Zelda titles.

Let’s hope at least Resi 2 comes to the West.

Stay tuned.

Who cares, if you ask me, all of those ps1 classics are pointless. Sure, many were fun when we had our ps1's, but now, i mean just look at what we can play. WHy wouyld you even think of playing something that looks that bad.

Why don't we get games like they do? Do they think they're better than the rest of the world or something?

I'd rather see a bonus disc with RE5 that compiles the previous games in the series (for additional cost, of course!).

Even the Japanese store has the metal slug. Why Sony US doesnt provide us with games as the Ps3 Japanese store does for the Japanese people who has the ps3.
