Kresnik’s comment: While futuristic racing games died an untimely death which is a real shame (save for the amazing WipEout 2048 ), a gem that completely seemed to fly under the radar was Air Race Speed, a colourful and polished high-score chaser that although brief, had me completely addicted.ĭescription: Otaku-driven action-RPG set in Japan’s Akihabara district You'll here be asked to select an online name, and on the subsequent screen you should input your 'real' name and select your gender, though all of these are kind of irrelevant if you're just after the 32-bit goodies.This is my rundown of my favourite PS1, PSP & Vita games (playable on Vita) of all time – please click the links to be taken to those pages or see this post for further details of how the lists have been made.ĭescription: Fast-paced futuristic time-trial racing with a gorgeous aesthetic The default question asks "Where were you born?", so just type 'Sydney'/wherever in that final box (press Select twice to enable English text input) and move on to the next screen.
You'll then need to select a sign-in ID email address and a password (in that order), before choosing a question-and-answer combination for security purposes. This will switch the display into Japanese mode – once you've input your date of birth, click the bottom-right tab to go to the next screen (this is a general rule, so repeat as necessary) to tell Sony that you agree with their privacy policy. Nearly all of these games are being sold at a flat rate of 600yen (AU$8.50) the only notable exception is Final Fantasy VII International, which costs 1,500 yen (AU$21).įirst thing, then: how can you access the Japanese PlayStation Store? Create a spare profile and head over to the 'Sign Up for the PlayStation Network' option, selecting Japan as your 'Country/Region of Residence'. At the time of typing, there are 312 full PlayStation games available for download – which is about six times the amount available in the Aussie PS Store and, for that matter, in the UK and US Stores. Sony Japan has been putting everything into ensuring that the 'Game Archives' section of the Japanese PlayStation Store is stocked with hundreds of games from the 32-bit era. If you think Sony's been a bit slow out of the blocks in developing the 'Classic Games' area of the PlayStation Store, you might be surprised to know that this only really applies to the company's limited efforts in English-speaking territories.
