Atariboy Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 (edited) G1M2 and Majesco are going to be bringing classic Data East titles to PSN for use on the PS3 and PSP as part of the PSP Minis lineup. Lock 'n' Chase will be starting things off on June 8th and supposedly has been improved over the rather poor emulation job it saw on the recent Nintendo Wii compilation. More Data East titles will be coming to PSN in the future and they're also looking for title suggestions. This suggest that perhaps their PSN releases won't be limited to just the titles included on the Wii compilation. In addition, G-Mode whom owns much of the Data East library has stated through their Facebook page that they're thinking about a Data East Arcade Classics Volume 2 release and stated that Magical Drop II/III may possibly see a XBLA release. So looks like we might see some new Data East classics being released in the coming months. Edited June 5, 2010 by Atariboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cimerians Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Thats great news. I have the Wii data east collection, wasn't the greatest (emulation) but its still nice to hear that they may improve it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cimerians Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 I picked up Lock n' Chase. Express Raider came out and now Burnin' Rubber. According to the brass load\save games are implemented etc, pretty cool: http://blog.us.playstation.com/2010/06/23/now-available-on-psn-burnin-rubber-for-psp-and-ps3/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+PSBlog+%28PlayStation.Blog%29&utm_content=Google+Feedfetcher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 WTF is this "Burning Rubber?" It's Bump-n-Jump! And it will be MINE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariboy Posted June 24, 2010 Author Share Posted June 24, 2010 It also saw release as Burnin' Rubber. I'm not sure why it carried two different names in the arcade. If the emulation is improved over the Wii release (Had some audio issues), this one is a great deal for $3.99. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cimerians Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Emu is better at least for Lock n' Chase. I don't have Express Raider but I plan on getting Bump N' Jump! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Nice.. If these are $2 or $3 a piece like many of the other minis, I'm game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendon Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 I was very disappointed in the Data East Collection for the Wii simply because the games are frustratingly hard (though I still play Magical Drop). And since I'm an Intellivision fan, I would really be interested in buying Lock 'n Chase and Bump and Jump. But with no idea whether these PSN versions are any better than the Wii versions, I'll pass. Until Sony gets off its corporate butt and starts insisting that demo's of downloadable games be available online (just like MS does), there will be no purchases for me. After being VERY disappointed with Lead & Gold and Section 8 and feeling like I totally wasted $25, I'm sticking to my pledge: No demo = No sale.

Mendon I agree, I have no idea what they are thinking. How in the world can you just buy a game blind? With these games you can try them on MAME etc but what about original games? I usually go to my 360 and try it out. Idiots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atariboy Posted June 30, 2010 Author Share Posted June 30, 2010 (edited) But with no idea whether these PSN versions are any better than the Wii versions, I'll pass. The developer says they're much better. Missing sound in Express Raider is back and Bump 'n' Jump and Lock 'n' Chase have been improved. I can't afford the $20 for a PSN points card at the moment or I'd just buy them and post some videos up on YouTube (After all, the primary issue with them was the audio side on the Wii compilation). But hopefully someone takes the time to post some videos soon on YouTube so they're not blind buys. With the assurances of improvements from the developers, I'm certain all the glaring issues like the engine sounds in Bump 'n' Jump have been improved.

Austin Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 If Joe & Mac makes its way over, hopefully they make it full screen this time around instead of slapping black bars on both sides of the screen, heh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want a credit card linked to my PSN account. But that's not what I meant, money's a bit tight at the moment so I can't justify much videogame spending at the moment.
