The PlayStation 3, at least in Japan, will see PS2 games coming in a regular fashion as downloadable titles via Sony’s “Game Archives” service.
Five games will be available at first, on the 25th of this month:
- Resident Evil Code: Veronica (Capcom): ¥1,200
- Kessen (Tecmo Koei): ¥1,500
- Shin Contra (Konami): ¥1,200
- Dragon Force (Sega): ¥800
- Siren (Sony): ¥1,200
They’ll be followed by a fairly constant flow of new titles, with the next batch already announced to include the following:
- Dead or Alive 2 Hard Core (Tecmo Koei): ¥1,500
- Castlevania (Konami): ¥1,200
- Dynamite Dekka (aka Die-Hard Arcade, Sega): ¥800
- Gunstar Heroes Treasure Box (Sega): ¥800
- Dark Cloud (Sony): ¥1,200
Japan already has over 700 titles in the Archive, although they’re mostly PS1 and PC Engine titles.

They don’t really interest but I’m sure the Japanese will be getting loads of great PS2 games from now on… <.<
Dragon Force…….?
"On the black wind forever we ride on together
Destroying your evil with freedom our guide
When the master will storm us
He'll stand high before us
Our hearts filled with splendour
Our swords will shine over the light"
