Late last year, GungHo Online Entertainment America came forward with a release of six Japanese Playstation One classics on the North American Playstation Network store. These titles included Makeruna Makendo 2, Art Camion Sugorokuden, FINGER★FLASHING, LUP★SALAD, ZANAC×ZANAC and Vehicle Cavalier. As Japanese Playstation One titles, they were released without any form of localization and while not all of them were exactly international friendly titles – for those with a bit of knowledge of the Japanese language or just like games without dialogue…. they were a pretty interesting set of titles.
I reviewed three of these titles which can be viewed below:
The company have today come forward with an additional set of six titles, all of which are of different genres, all of which are in Japanese and prior to this time have never been officially released internationally. Information on all six titles can be found below:
