Japan’s PlayStation Network just received Square’s PSone-based remake of the first Final Fantasy. No plans have been made regarding its release outside Japan, but knowing Square Enix, we’ll probably soon have it available for ourselves. The bonus content for the GBA and PSP versions of Final Fantasy 1 are not in this port.
Mega Man 9 has been out for quite a while, but not on the PlayStation Network in Japan, which is just now getting the 8-bit adventure. There is a contest with its release, and the winners will receive a downloadable remake of Mega Man 1. Strangely enough, the contest is currently the only way to get this remake. It seems odd that Capcom would go to the trouble to remake an entire game just for the sake of a contest. It’s very likely that the original Mega Man will be available for purchase in Japan and other countries later.
