Capcom has arguably supported the PlayStation Store the most out of all of the major third-party publishers. The company even has its own section in Sony’s online store. To cement their position as a leader in the online space, the company told Joystiq that a whopping 20 to 40 PSone classics and PSP titles will be arriving on the PlayStation Network over the course of the next few months.
"We’ll definitely be looking at a lot of titles that have things like Street Fighter and Resident Evil in the title," said Capcom’s senior director of communications and community, Chris Kramer. "We’re thinking about putting together a long list of the titles we’re looking at, and then releasing it on Capcom Unity and having people vote on them. Ultimately we’re looking at bringing between 20 and 40 titles to the PSN over the next several months."
Just to clarify, the PSP titles will be primarily previously published UMD games from Capcom, not original games. Still, if you take a look at the statement mathematically, we could consistently see multiple Capcom PSone and PSP releases a week. Recent ESRB ratings indeed show that two more Street Fighter Alpha games are coming to the PlayStation Network.
Other than Street Fighter and Resident Evil titles, we wonder what past games Capcom plans to put on the PlayStation Network. We bet that one or two of them will involve a little blue man being mega awesome.
