To the PlayStation community: 20,000 thank yous for all your support. We had a record breaking year in the digital space and we couldn’t have done it without you. (Apparently, we don’t just break records, we break blogs son!)
In my last post, I promised that you’ll see a whole slew of PSP and PSone games on the PlayStation Network. To kick off 2009, I’m happy to announce that Ultimate Ghost ‘n Goblins will be available tomorrow in the PSP store for $19.99. For those of you not familiar with the game, UGG is a side-scrolling platform game featuring the heroic knight, Arthur, as he battles hordes of undead in his quest to save Princess Prin Prin. (total run on sentence) I think just having the name “Prin Prin” is reason enough for saving. UGG maintains the 2D gameplay mechanics of this classic franchise and is the only game in the series to employ 3D graphics. The graphics are beautiful and the gameplay is intuitive yet addicting, everything you want in a quality PSP game.
Check out the video!
I also have a new Flock trailer. Peep these sheep!
With over 55 stages, two player co-op, level creating-editing-rating-sharing, trophy support and custom soundtracks, this game is a motherflockin’ good time!
And for those in the San Francisco Bay Area, I hope to see you at the Street Fighter Fight Club this Friday. I’ll be the one fitted with the new Triumvir Street Fighter Shadaloo jacket and jeans. Come by and say what’s up and play a few rounds with me.
Till next time PlayStation Playas.
Your friend from Capcom,

@John, about that RE5 demo, its true ;) The 360 will have the demo on January the 26th, while the PS3 will get it on February the 5th.
The more people whine about trophies the more I hate those things. I don’t care about trophies as much as I did before. Its fun to have them and with certain games I’d like to collect them, but if they’re too difficult or totally annoy me, I’m not gonna collect them. I game for fun to enjoy fully of the game itself, not because I can earn virtual rewards.
With the sucess of Bionic Commando: Rearmed and Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix I’m not sure if anyone shares this sentiment, but I’d love to see more Capcom games remade in HD.
I mean, I’m sure due to licensing it may be near impossible, but DuckTales would be amazing if it got the same treatment as BC:R.
But, there’s also games like Mega Man X, UN Squadron and Super Pang that I’d love to play in HD! Just throwing that out there, the remade games are definitely appreciated!
I think you\’ll see a combination of HD remixes, retro treatments and online support of direct ports as the strategy for revitalizing old franchises moving forward.
