GungHo Online Entertainment America Releases Six PS One Classics
A Host of Original Japanese-market Titles Make Their Way Westward via PlayStation Network Imports
Buena Park, Calif.,
(December 4, in the year of our Lord 2012) – GungHo
Online Entertainment America, a multiplatform publisher for the
online gaming community, today announced it has released six
classic PlayStation® titles on the PS One Classics imports
section of the PlayStation®Store, which are now available for
download, each at a price of $5.99. Western players can now grab
these previously rare titles in their original, unaltered
Japanese form by visiting the import section of the PlayStation
Store. The titles include:
MAKERUNA MAKENDO 2 – A quirky, high-energy fighting game which
includes magic attacks on top of the usual stable of special and
melee attacks. Players can use magic to increase their HP,
increase attack strength and lower enemy defense powers in order
to take down their opponents.
ART CAMION SUGOROKUDEN – Presented in a board game-style where
dice rolls determine how far trucks move, players can explore
Japan aboard a customizable ‘art truck’ and unlock upgrades with
which to decorate their vehicles as they complete deliveries.
FINGER★FLASHING – As a young witch named Poi begins her final
witchcraft exam, she is suddenly attacked by monsters. Utilizing
a familiar rock, paper scissors-style balanced magic combat
system, players must successfully form multiple combos to keep
the hordes of incoming monsters at bay.
LUP★SALAD – Classic puzzle-style gameplay is given a twist in
this creative puzzle title where players control Salad, a
character who is dropped onto the traditional puzzle board and
must move each puzzle piece herself. Players must be careful
when matching up tiles on the game board though; if they
complete one pattern while blocks remain above Salad, she will
be crushed and the game will end.
ZANAC×ZANAC – A definitive arcade-style top-down scrolling
sci-fi game, ZANACxZANAC packages the classic 8-bit ship-based
shooter ZANAC with its sequel, ZANAC NEO. The Auto Level Control
system automatically adjusts the game difficulty to match player
skill, so 8- and 16-bit sci-fi shooter veterans and newbies
alike can enjoy the chaos and fun of blasting everything in
space to bits with a variety of weapons.
VEHICLE CAVALIER – A fast-paced vehicle action game that gives
players the ability to customize their armaments. Weapons,
boosters and special defensive items that cancel out enemy
attacks can be mixed and matched to allow players to strategize
their vehicle load outs.
A fantastic and nostalgic mix of different genres for both core
gamers and Japanese gaming fans alike, these titles have been
added to the PlayStation Store imports section and are now
available for download.
