PS1 HIDDEN GEMS 2D FULL
Shooters benefit a lot from the collection offering up a turbo function for the Y button since it makes taking out a screen full of enemies faster overall. They feature a ton of fast action with all kinds of projectiles flying your way and forcing your way through a sea of enemies is rewarding. 19XX and 1944 are the best ones to play now, with each using the then-new tech to add more details to the world. The CPS-2 games enabled the concept to truly come through with vivid graphics that couldn’t have been done on the prior hardware and winds up making them experiences more future-proof and fun in the modern era.
PS1 HIDDEN GEMS 2D SERIES
The long-running series has a lot of vertical shooters, but two of them stuck out to me in this collections. The 19XX series is one that I didn’t have a chance to play until the PS2’s first Capcom Classics Collection - and this includes more games in it as a whole than that did. It’s a tightly-packed game that controls perfectly and feels natural on the Switch in both handheld and docked mode. The action was never quite as fast as it was here, although Strider 2 on the PS1 did come close.

The acrobatic platforming is still impressive to see thanks to its smooth animation and Hiryu’s first adventure is still, in some ways, his best. With enemies coming at you from all sides and being able to traverse stages both above-ground and hanging onto ceilings, you have a lot of chances to both attack and be attacked. This was one of the first arcade-to-console conversions that truly showcased how powerful the Sega Genesis was and the arcade original has held up nicely over thirty years later. While Strider isn’t exactly an obscure game, its influence has been lost to time. It’s been a great way to enjoy titles that slipped through the cracks, so we’re going to look at sleeper hits here that may not be as big as Street Fighter II and Final Fight, but still offer a lot of fun.
PS1 HIDDEN GEMS 2D PORTABLE
It’s a fantastic compilation that allows many of Capcom’s greatest games to be played anywhere - including games that never got a full-on portable port before like the original Strider. You can get them in packs as well for $14.99, spread across different eras of Capcom’s history.
PS1 HIDDEN GEMS 2D PSP
The last time we saw something like this was a blend of compilations on both the PS2 and PSP in the form of Capcom Classic Collections, which didn’t have quite the extra features of this 32 game compilation. 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.The Capcom Arcade Stadium is the latest in a long line of Capcom compilations, but the first one in about fifteen years to cover a wide variety of genres. 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.

PS1 HIDDEN GEMS 2D PASSWORD
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.
