Looks like we might have ourselves another PSone Import hitting the North American PlayStation Store soon. Next Gen News reports that Mega Man 2 (aka Rockman 2: Complete Works), the PSone enhanced port of the NES classic, will release on the service within the first week of February.
Next Gen News -- whose been pretty spot on with these reports in the past -- notes the game, among other titles, will go on sale February 1st, priced at $5.99 ($3.00 for PlayStation Plus members). Sony have yet to confirm these reports, but, seeing that Mega Man 1 made its debut on the service last week, it would be fitting for subsequent games in the series to bubble up our way over time.
UPDATE: Oh, silly me. Yes it is official: Mega Man 2 on February 1st.
Thanks for pointing that out, Josh!
This already HAS been mentioned on the PlayStation Blog. http://blog.us.playstation.com/2011/01/19/coming-to-playstation-plus-tales-from-space-about-a-blob-auto-download-demo-digger-hd-and-select-psn-exclusives-on-sale/
ReplyDeleteMaybe it is just me but does anyone else notice input lag on the Complete Works versions? I bought the first 3 from the JPN store and when playing on the PS3 there seems to be a little input lag. When playing them on the PSP this doesnt seem to be a problem.
ReplyDeleteWell, that sure didn't take long now, did it? But then again, that's to be expected, since it's you know, Mega Man 2 and all. On the bright side, however, this makes it more likely that we'll be seeing the Complete Works versions of Rockman 3-6 coming our way soon.
ReplyDeleteAre PSN Imports translated?
ReplyDeletePSOne Imports are not translated, Rockman.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, still waiting for more VC releases, classic or X...
ReplyDelete@Krazy Monkey:
ReplyDeleteYou do realize that they're apparently releasing these in order, right? MM2 would HAVE to come after MM1.
@Dr. Jerk:
ReplyDeleteI believe he was talking about how fast it's going to be released after Megaman 1
I just wish they would add an optional translated patch for whoever wishes to use it. I think it would please a lot of people.

ReplyDeleteWell if you PS3 is connected to an HDTV/through HDMI, those both tend to be sources of lag.
I know for me HDMI is the worse of the two, as I can play MM9 and MM10 on by HDTV (using the Wii and component input) without any huge difference from an SDTV, but when I try and play any game from the anniversary collection on my PS3 (which is connected with an HDMI cable) its definitely laggy.
@Dr. Jerk:
ReplyDeleteI knew that. I was simply commenting on how quickly they've decided to upload Mega Man 2 to the Playstation Store.
What, exactly, is the 3USD going to? Sony's PSN funds? How much will Capcom see? How much will the devs see?
ReplyDeleteLet me Guess Mega Man 3 on February 15th?
